How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan

It will be interesting to see whether or not psychedelics will be used as a treatment for smoking cessation and alcohol addiction in the future in controlled environments. I think it will also be interesting to see where the research goes in regard to treating depressive disorders and treating patients on respite. The idea of transcendence intrigues me and has since studying yoga and Buddhism. A big part of my "spiritual" identity is in how interconnected life, the universe, and everything is. It's very interesting to hear how interconnected to everything people feel when they are under the influence of psychedelics. Who knows what the future may hold in pharmaceuticals? There will certainly be limits as far as the law is concerned if anything comes of the research.
