The First Psychedelic Amphetamine Book

The Healing Journey gives the reader a look into early psychedelic psychotherapy using XTC type molecules. The book was done when these (eg. MDA, MMDA) substances were as legal as sea salt. Naranjo was one of the first to explore these magical molecules. "The MMDA peak experience is typically one in which the moment that is being lived becomes intensely gratifying..." Naranjo further states, "I believe that self-awareness is contagious, and moments of self-discovery, once adequately communicated, can be a gift of consciousness to others."
