His encounters with scientists and gangsters, venture capitalists and con-men, psychonauts and shamans provide a panoramic view of psychedelics today — their capacity for healing but also trauma, for transcendence and corruption, profundity and hilarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy removing psychedelics from their indigenous and underground cultures, we risk losing the very things we need to harness them.
