Floris knows his way around both the psychedelic experience & science behind it | Founder of Blossom psychedelic database (10k entries)
We've read over 50 psychedelic books
Most do a poor job of introducing new people to psychedelics
The Psychedelic Handbook by Dr Rick Strassman - out today - may quickly become the book to recommend
3 reasons why 👇
1. Concise & Clear
You can't not love Michael Pollan's prose, but HTCYM isn't a book for the fainthearted
With a reading time of about 3 hours, PH is a lighter - but still very complete - intro to psychedelics
2. Optimistic & Open
As one of the pioneers of the psychedelic renaissance, Strassman knows what he is talking about
He praises the research in the lab and outside of it - and rightfully calls out the risks associated with psychedelics
3. Practical, not Prescriptive
The book's fourth section describes guidelines/tips on how to use psychedelics
These are sensible, without a specific (spiritual/religious) agenda, and made without talking down to the reader
All in all, possibly the perfect book to gift to those new to psychedelics
The Psychedelic Handbook is out today
