The true story of how a renowned writer’s struggle with mood storms led her to try a remedy as drastic as it is forbidden: microdoses of LSD. Her revealing, fascinating journey provides a window into one family and the complex world of a once-infamous drug seen through new eyes. When a small vial arrives in her mailbox from "Lewis Carroll," Ayelet Waldman is at a low point. Her moods have become intolerably severe; she has tried nearly every medication possible; her husband and children are suffering with her. So she opens the vial, places two drops on her tongue, and joins the ranks of an underground but increasingly vocal group of scientists and civilians successfully using therapeutic microdoses of LSD. As Waldman charts her experience over the course of a month--bursts of productivity, sleepless nights, a newfound sense of equanimity--she also explores the history and mythology of LSD, the cutting-edge research into the drug, and the byzantine policies that control it. Drawing on her experience as a federal public defender, and as the mother of teenagers, and her research into the therapeutic value of psychedelics, Waldman has produced a book that is eye-opening, often hilarious, and utterly enthralling.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I took my first microdose of LSD today. I had never been a regular drug user, but I had used illegal drugs several times in my life. I was not a fan of the taste of alcohol, and was easily intoxicated. I rarely drank. #2 I had no idea how to buy drugs, so I began calling my gay male friends, hoping they would know someone who knew someone who knew someone who could help me get LSD. None of them knew anyone who could help me get LSD. #3 A week after I had met the man, I received a message from him. The possibly mythical professor was sympathetic to my predicament. He would send me LSD. The story seemed preposterous, but two days later, I opened my mailbox to find a brown paper package covered in brightly colored stamps. #4 I ordered an LSD test kit to make sure that what I was taking was actually LSD and not some toxic substitute. I was not about to consume a drug without testing it first, no matter how cute a note it came with.
