Críticas:

"Here is a highly readable account of how Canadian scientists and artists and enthusiasts have been world leaders in the consciousness revolution . Marcus Rummery s book will be recognized as the standard contribution to the field. Reading it is not only a consciousness-raising experience, but it also a hair-raising experience." John Robert Colombo, Canadian author, editor and poet"

"Ogden and Rummery delve into a history that s endangered to be forgotten, repressed, marginalized. At this time of psychedelic and entheogenic re-awakening their book is an invaluable resource." Andrew Feldmar, psychotherapist, co-investigator (with Dr. Ingrid Pacey) in Vancouver s MDMA and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder study"

"This book contains vivid first-hand accounts of psychedelic insights and offers a reappraisal of the true value of those experiences, both it terms of treatment and personal growth. Drawing extensively on co-author Frank Ogden s experiences, it also provides a rich description of the infamous Hollywood Hospital addiction treatments with LSD, of which Ogden played a historic role a story that needs to be told. Rummery explores a cast of familiar characters and offers compelling evidence to suggest LSD deserves a second chance." Erica Dyck, Associate Professor, History of Medicine, The University of Saskatchewan; author, Psychedelic Psychiatry: LSD from Clinic to Campus"

Reseña del editor:

Freud used to say dreams were the ?royal road” to the unconscious but psychedelics are a superhighway, we all have access to our own experiences but Frank Ogden gave me access to almost a thousand people’s experiences. What is presented isn’t the false self we project to the world or the false self we project to ourselves, but the howling unconscious uncontained and released from the chemical constraints that restrict it. If you want to know what’s in the unconscious at least of the thousand or subjects at Hollywood Hospital here’s your chance to find out. Written in the simple but vivid style Frank popularized with his 1994 Canadian five time bestseller The Last Book You’ll Ever Read, Shamanic Graffiti presents an alternative history of the brain, shamanism with the real world examples of Hollywood Hospital as verification. From there we look forward using, fusing and extending the theories of the two pre-eminent psychedelic theoreticians Drs. Timothy Leary and Stan Grof as a jumping off point to consider the future of drugs and the brain.
