| Summary: |
"We are on the cusp of a major revolution in psychiatric medicine and neuroscience. After fifty years of prohibition, criminalization, and fear, science is finally showing us that psychedelics are not dangerous or harmful. Instead, when used according to tested, safe, and ethical guidelines, they are our most powerful, newest treatment of mental health conditions--from depression, PTSD, and OCD to disordered eating and even chronic pain and addiction. Professor David Nutt, one of the world's leading neuropsychopharmacologists, has spent 15 years researching this field, and Psychedelics is his most significant body of work to date. In 2018, he co-founded the first academic psychedelic research center - underpinned by his mission to provide evidence-based information for people everywhere. His lab revived interest in the understanding and use of psychedelics in its many forms, including MDMA, ayahuasca, magic mushrooms, LSD and ketamine. The results have been nothing short of ground-breaking not only for the future categorization of drugs, but also for what we now know about brain mechanisms and human consciousness. At a time where an enormous amount of noise surrounds the benefits of psychedelics, this book contains the knowledge we need to know about a drug that is about to go mainstream--free from hot air, directly from the expert." --Provided by publisher. |
