About This Item
New York:: Blue Rider Press, 2014.. 1st Printing.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: turquoise binding; the text is browning, otherwise a Very Good book, with a Near Fine dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.. 8vo (9.25 inches tall) . Index. Description: The publisher's blurb reads: ''It's no secret that psychedelic drugs have the ability to cast light on the miraculous reality hidden within our psyche. Almost immediately after the discovery of LD less than a hundred years ago, psychedelics began to play a crucial role in the quest to understand the link between mind and matter. With an uncanny ability to reveal the mind's remote frontiers and the unmapped area of human consciousness, LSD and MDMA (better known as Ecstasy) have proven extraordinarily effective in treating anxiety disorders such as PTSD -- yet the drugs remain illegal for millions of people who might benefit from them. Anchoring this book are the stories of Rick Doblin, the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, who has been fighting government prohibition of psychedelics for more than thirty years; Michael Mithoefer, a former emergency room physician, now a psychiatrist at the forefront of psychedelic therapy research; and his patient Nicholas Blackston, a former Marine who has suffered unfathomable mental anguish from the effects of brutal combat experiences in Iraq. All three men are passionate, relatable people, each flawed, each resilient, and each eccentric, yet very familiar and very human.''
