Psychedelica Lex is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of the laws and regulations governing psychedelic substances.    

ABOUT THE PSYCHEDELICA LEX PODCAST AND CHANNEL 

President Nixon's enactment of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970 banished most psychedelics to Schedule I, making psychedelics for most purpose illegal.  However, as the Congressional Record reveals, psychedelics never got a fair trial and little scientific evidence, if any, was considered by lawmakers.  Prohibition was more about politics than public health.  Yet, historical record, anecdotal evidence, and scientific studies all suggest that prohibition was an unnecessary and harmful overreaction and that many benefits may be derived from psychedelics.    

Psychedelica Lex puts the question of psychedelics on trial.  Hosted by a veteran litigation attorney, each episode will explore psychedelics from different perspectives.  As we explore the evidence together, you - the audience - will serve as jurors.   Together we will examine every facet.  Applying the rigors of cross examination and the Socratic method, we will seek an objective truth.
