Dedication This book is dedicated to the psychedelic scientist, the psyche- delic explorer, the secret researcher, the daring therapist, the rebellious patients, and all of humanity that is willing to open their eyes to evidence- based science regarding psychedelics, and also to reclaiming a spiritual and therapeutic heritage of humanity. Psychedelics have languished for too long under the oppression of inquisitions, the persecution of shamans and healers, and the postmodern assault of the draconian war on drugs. We wish to change this situation by seeing psychedelics legally approved and used as prescribed medicines, while also learning from and preserv- ing their indigenous use around the world. It is in this spirit that we dedicate this book to people in all walks of life who wish to lift the veils of ignorance and see the great therapeutic and spiritual potential of psych- edelics to change lives and heal the afflicted.
