Someone sent me a video of an interview with Gabor Maté and although I still want to read his book on trauma turning into physical illness in the body, this book on Scribd caught my eye as the interview focused on psychedelics. I've always been incredibly judgemental about any kind of drugs and now this book is blowing my mind. It's not a quick read but absolutely fascinating so far.
