Psychedelic outlaws The movement revolutionizing modern medicine
Book - 2024
"Professor of Sociology Dr. Joanna Kemper follows a group of people united only by debilitating cluster headaches, who, after coming together in the early days of the internet, developed their own medicine from home-grown mushrooms, produced near-clinical grade trials and dosing protocols, and managed to get academics at Harvard and Yale to test their work and results. In the process, this extraordinary story reminiscent of John Carreyrou's Bad Blood and Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind explores not only the fascinating history and exploding popularity of mushroom science, but also proves that the United States has set up a regulatory and legal system so repressive that our most innovative therapies for pain are being... developed underground by sick people forced to break the law just to find relief, and how, in turn, corporate America, and sometimes devious academics, stand to profit from their transgressions"--
