This is a book about…
Psychedelics got coded as left-wing, and that label has kept out the very people who may need them most. Sensible Psychedelics makes the case that, used responsibly, these medicines belong to the skeptical, the politically homeless, and the center-right as much as anyone else.
- They're already helping veterans, cops, and first responders heal from trauma.
- Used with care, they can strengthen faith, family, and personal responsibility.
- The movement leans hard left, and it needs the very people it keeps shutting out.
