“I Feel Love” is well researched, lively and easy to read. A solid piece of science writing that will keep anyone interested in M**A’s colorful history, evolution, and unrealized promise in the treatment of complex PTSD.

Unlike some science based books this is nowhere near dry or woo-woo. Great read!

“One of the most common things people ask me is what the pros and cons of choosing M**A vs. Psilocybin are or how the effects of each substance differ.”

Dr. Ben Malcolm, PharmD, MPH compares the mechanism of action, subjective experience, therapeutic area of interest, duration of action, safety profile, and drug interaction potential with antidepressants of M**A and psilocybin

In the weeks since, Mr. Anderson said he has felt an improvement in his ability to gather his thoughts and convey them. He described a three-hour conversation with his wife that he felt he wouldn’t have been able to manage while in the traumatic grip of repeated concussions.

Mr. Cushing said he has found himself waking up earlier, eager to take on tasks that he previously would have dreaded.
“It’s like a reset,” he said. “If I had to explain it to people that have never gone through it, it’s a reset of your mind, your intentions, your motivations.”

Psilocybin-assisted therapy is legal in three states, but access has so far been limited and expensive.
