But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. 600 10 $a Pollan, Michael $x Mental health. 650 0 $a Hallucinogenic drugs $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210709010043.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20181225012903.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20181127015804.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=00079B745F1811E89A261C5797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
