Cody Johnson is an intrepid psychonaut and humanist who writes about mind-expanding plants and compounds at PsychedelicFrontier.com. His first taste of psychedelia came in the form of MDMA, which opened him up to the vast realm of unexplored states of consciousness. He dove head first into this new world, experimenting with dozens of psychedelics new and old while blogging about all things psychedelic: their history, emerging scientific research, therapeutic and spiritual applications, and legality.
Cody Johnson beautifully balances historical knowledge with
cutting-edge science to produce a thoroughly enjoyable and
enlightening read which paints a holistic picture of the risks and
benefits of psychedelic use in modern day medicine and culture. --
Rick Doblin, Ph.D., Founder and Executive Director of the
Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS)
What a good book this is! A rarity among psychedelic publications,
it is straightforward, useful, makes complex biochemistry
understandable, and will be a reference for years to come. It is a
drug-by-drug series of clear, useful descriptions of just what you
need to know about both synthetic and plant-based psychedelics. I
thought I knew all this stuff, but Johnson weaves in excellent
scholarship and some wonderful stories that surprised and delighted
me as well. -- James Fadiman, Ph.D., microdose researcher and
author of The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide
Magic Medicine is a wonderful object as well as a valuable
text on this essential subject. Johnson describes a wide range of
psychedelic substances - their effects, history and contemporary
uses - in a readable style of prose and set amidst an alluring and
beautifully presented format. Highly recommended! -- Dr. Ben Sessa,
psychiatrist, psychedelic researcher, and author of The Psychedelic
Renaissance
This is a delightful book that takes the reader on a pleasurable
trip through several millennia of use and reflections on humans use
of psychedelics. It is beautifully researched and pleasingly
produced, with a satisfying balance of science, history and
insights. I am sure that everyone interested in this growing field
will find something new to intrigue and hopefully inspire them. --
Prof. David Nutt, Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences,
Imperial College London, and author of Drugs Without the Hot
Air
Magic Medicine is an entertaining, up-to-date encyclopedia
of the ineffable, offering easy-to-digest insight into a dizzying
array of psychoactive drugs and sacred plant medicines. -- Don
Lattin, author of The Harvard Psychedelic Club and Changing Our
Mind
Magic Medicine takes us on a journey into the most
controversial and mysterious of medicines: the mind altering plants
and chemicals responsible for some of our greatest visionary
creativity and also our paranoid delusions. Cody Johnson does a
great job at separating fact from fiction in this eye-opening book.
