Extracting Culture through Psychedelic Tourism | Mijal Schmidt and James Jesso

Your book Decomposing the Shadow is brilliant, I read it twice over the weekend. Hoping you'll write many more.
I've only recently started using mushrooms for spirituality but I've worked with cannabis and DMT previously. Sacred plants are a gift from the gods.
