Psychedelic Resources

Books

These are books I have read, or at least read through.

• The Grief Trip by Stuart Preston

  My book. All proceeds go to the Ian Preston Memorial Fund.

• The Microdosing Guidebook by C.J. Spotswood

  The “ultimate reference for safely using psychedelic medicine.”

• The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide by James Fadiman

  THE resource for understanding your journey, how to experience it, and how to integrate it.

• LSD: Doorway to the Numinous by Stanislav Grof

  Grof is one of the pioneers in psychedelic (and holotropic) experiences.

• The Harvard Psychedelic Club by Don Lattin

  I picked this one up during my stay at The Peyote Way Church. A great overview of how things went bad in the 60s and 70s, with good biographical info on Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil.

• LSD and the Mind of the Universe by Christopher Bache

  Some amazing and horrific (don't try this at home) high-dose LSD journeys, with great insight into LSD and consciousness.

• Be Here Now by Ram Dass

  Not specifically about psychedelics, but LSD and mushrooms were central to Richard Alpert's journey to becoming Ram Dass.

• How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan

  I didn't love this book, but everybody else does, so here it is.

• The Wild Kindness: A Psilocybin Odyssey by Bett Williams

  I love Bett Williams and I loved this book. It reads like a great novel. I also interviewed her on my podcast.

• Your Psilocybin Mushroom Companion by Michelle Janikian

  My first journey was with mushrooms. If you're thinking that way, get this book. Michelle was also on the podcast.
