In this fascinating book, author Amanda Siebert explores this new psychedelic frontier, teaching the reader about the traditional Indigenous uses of psychedelics as well as exploring their potential uses in contemporary clinical contexts for treating everything from addiction, to PTSD, to depression. A comprehensive guide to the current state of psychedelics.
