Books

Author's books plus reviews and reading notes on the literature of psychedelics — from primary scientific texts (Strassman, Nichols, Nutt, Carhart-Harris) to the philosophical, anthropological, and personal canon (Pollan, McKenna, Wasson, Shulgin). New releases, neglected classics, and works ARDMT considers essential for anyone thinking seriously about DMT, ayahuasca, and the chemistry of altered states. Honest assessments — what each book argues, what it gets right, what it overstates.
