Psychedelic Horizons

""Tom Roberts demolishes what he nicely titles the 'singlestate fallacy': the idea that our usual waking state embodies all worthwhile abilities. And one of the most rapid inducers of dramatic alternate states? The answer, clear and simple, is 'psychedelics'. As William James concluded over a century ago, on psychology or science that ignores such curious chemicals and the states they induce can be complete. Likewise, most social scientists now agree that no society that tries to merely punish them out of existence can hope to understand or make use of the full array of human capacities. Tom Roberts's book points us to these capacities, and to our minds' awesome possibilities.""--BOOK JACKET.
