McKenna, PhD, director and founder of Mckenna Academy of Natural Philosophy and author of * “I am pleased to recommend this book, which is the latest in Richard’s series on psychedelic medicines. Putting forth the adverse effects of these substances in readable form contributes to their understanding and separates psychedelic scientists from those who would cover over, or even hide, negative effects of pharmaceuticals.” * Robin Carhart-Harris, PhD, Ralph Metzner Distinguished Professor of Neurology, Psychiatry and Behavi * “Comprehensive, well-researched, and balanced—a valuable cache of current knowledge for anyone who seeks to comprehend the psychedelic frontier.” * William A. Richards, PhD, author of Sacred Knowledge * “There is a resurgence of interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelics in a culture lacking a shared understanding of their risks and true potential benefits, which presents many questions and complex challenges for individuals and for therapists and medical practitioners. Fortunately, in this book Dr. Miller shares his perspectives about these challenges, based on his long and deep experience in this area. Along with specific pharmacological information about a range of psychedelics, he addresses the more complex challenges stemming from the fundamental mismatch between the usual medical model of understanding pharmacology and the reality that psychedelics catalyze change through intense experiences that often require integration long after the drug has been cleared from the body.” * Michael Mithoefer, MD, MDMA researcher * “In this remarkably frank and transparent guidebook, Dr. Richard Louis Miller distills the knowledge from his 50 years of professional self-experimentation and his extensive exploration of the findings of other therapists, scholars, and researchers. The result is a concise guide balancing the perils and benefits of encounters with a spectrum of psychedelic substances.” * Mariavittoria Mangini, PhD, FNP, investigator of psychedelic-assisted therapies *
