Mushrooms against Smoking: Why psychedelics offer new hope for smokers

By Rebekka Konarek

Millions of people want to quit smoking-but traditional methods often lead to relapse. New hope comes from research into psychedelics: psilocybin, the active ingredient in "magic mushrooms," has shown exceptionally high success rates in smoking cessation in initial studies. This book explains how psilocybin works, what role brain networks, mystical experiences, and therapeutic settings play, and why integration after the session is so important. It presents the latest clinical studies, highlights opportunities and risks, and discusses legal and social issues. A well-researched, understandable work for anyone who wants to learn more about an innovative therapeutic approach-from medical and psychology professionals to interested readers looking for new ways to overcome nicotine addiction.
