@drrichardlouismiller: The bottom line on psychedelic medicine: real potential, and real risk. That's true of all medicines. With these, it's much safer to have a guide than to do them alone or with friends. Can't afford a professional? A friend with real experience may be able to make it work. One of my books is Psychedelic Medicine at the End of Life — they help with end-of-life anxiety and depression. But you want professional guiding. This is complex. Don't take it lightly.
