A Clinician’s Trip Report

Mitchell has tied together a multitude of complex worldviews and substances in a subjective account and objectively researched jaunt through the current milieu of psychedelic research. With a history of substance abuse, deep meditation practice and specific forays into indigenous sacred plants and cosmovisións, Mitchell takes us on a challenging, entertaining, hilarious, and endearing ride. The author has attempted to, and succeeded in, updating his audience on the current state of western advances in utilizing psychedelics as treatment for depression and PTSD. Is the medicine, evermore synthesized for capital gain, going to circumvent it’s original guardians, nature and indigenous shamans? Mitchell cannot conclude one way or another, as no one can quite yet, but this account belongs on bookshelves or audio libraries as an important stepping stone in navigating this roaring brook.

Amazing!

The author takes us on a whirlwind tour through the world of psychedelics. Equal parts Oliver Sacks and Hunter Thompson. He brings the skeptical eye of a trained clinician and the eye of a poet, a stereoscopic vision that renders the world of modern psychedelics in full 3D with all of its potential problems and promise.

Long, chaotic trip

I was excited about this book as I enjoy hearing others experiences and perspectives, especially when coming from a person who works in the space. However I found it hard to finish the book. There was no clear journey here, just chaotic stories that felt half-done. Would not recommend the book.

Occasionally interesting, overall tiresome.

He is a strong wordsmith. However he could have said twice as much by editing out 30-35% of what he wrote. After he misstated The Eightfold Noble Path as “the fourfold path of Buddhism “, and that Buddha said that “all is suffering “ (Buddha said that there is suffering, and it is to be understood.) he lost the majority of his credibility.
