LSD’s Renaissance in Mental Health Treatment
<p>Having visited Chiapas, a state in rural Southern Mexico, several times, I was invited to work with a shaman to improve my mental health by taking a psychedelic that causes similar reactions among people to those of LSD known as <strong><em>ayahuasca</em></strong>. This type of psychedelic use has deep spiritual and cultural connections.</p>
<p>I listened as my Chiapas friend told me about her challenges when she had a child that she didn’t want. She thought about taking some drastic actions after the baby — a girl — was born. She undertook the ayahuasca experience, her attitudes and beliefs about having a child underwent reconstruction and now she cherishes it.</p>
