interesting read. Only part way through it but it's long overdue.
Gotta think that like weed there would/could be thousands of different strains if given the opportunity. That would make what ever info they are finding just the tip of the iceberg.
Thanks for the link. The article's about a year and a half old, but it's very well-written, and I especially liked this bit: “Freud said dreams were the royal road to the unconscious,” [Carhart-Harris] said in our first interview. “LSD may turn out to be the superhighway.”
I met James Fadiman in 2007-08 down in Santa Cruz while he was writing one of his books. Had some great conversations with him while dog sitting on the beach over the years. Got a signed copy without ever asking for one. Just the kind of guy Jim is. A real thoughtful special person given to us psychedelic explorer's of human experience...
Called "America's wisest and most respected authority on psychedelics and their use," James Fadiman has been involved with psychedelic research since the 1960s. The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide addresses the immediate and long-term effects of psychedelic use for spiritual (high dose), therapeutic (moderate dose), and problem-solving (low dose) purposes. Fadiman outlines the best practices for safe, sacred entheogenic voyages learned through his more than 40 years of experience--from the benefits of having a sensitive guide during a session (and how to be one) to the importance of the setting and pre-session intention.
James Fadiman reviews the newest as well as the neglected research into the psychotherapeutic value of visionary drug use for increased personal awareness and a host of serious medical conditions, including his recent study of the reasons for and results of psychedelic use among hundreds of students and professionals. He reveals new uses for LSD and other psychedelics, including extremely low doses for improved cognitive functioning and emotional balance. Cautioning that psychedelics are not for everyone, he dispels the myths and misperceptions about psychedelics circulating in textbooks and clinics as well as on the internet. Exploring the life-changing experiences of Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, and Huston Smith as well as Francis Crick and Steve Jobs, James Fadiman shows how psychedelics, used wisely, can lead not only to healing but also to scientific breakthroughs and spiritual epiphanies.
