I have just started How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us about Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan. If you haven't heard of it, this book is a journalistic accounting of the history and use of psychedelics (focusing on LSD, DMT, and psylocibin--MDMA being a different mechanism doesn't qualify but is also covered somewhat) focusing especially on its new resurgence as a tool in psychology and therapeutics. Also, apparently while researching the book the author, a journo, became so intrigued he became a participant, so its part documentary in the third person, partially in first. So far (50 odd pages in) its wonderfully written and pulls you along, and even though we are still in the early stages of scene setting by covering the discovery and early use of psychedelics in therapy up to being listed class I and the early cracks in the walls to present day experimentation I am hooked.
