Q: I have been active most of my life playing sports and doing all kinds of exercise. As I approach 60, I am stronger and fitter than most of my peers, and I am medication free.

Comment A few weeks ago, I mentioned to a friend that I was interested in learning more about psychedelics, specifically how they might help me with depression and anxiety. This is a broad class of herbal drugs, including psilocybin (“magic”) mushrooms, MDMA (ecstasy), DMT (Dimitris’ or businessman’s trip), ketamine (“special K”), and a few others. I’ve been hesitant to be open about my quest because I’m old enough to remember the warnings about “bad trips” that mess with your brain....
