i reviewed "Expanding Mindscapes", @erikadyckhist and Chris Elcock's global history of psychedelics, for @AddictionJrnl: "an essential edited collection ... this important volume should find a place on many drug researchers’ bookshelves."

“The first mentions of MDMA in the underground press characterized it as a ‘new love drug.’... In 1978, Timothy Leary found that it generated empathy but pronounced confidently that it would not be a ‘party stimulant’ or ‘recreational hit.’” —@MikeJayNet https://t.co/dJ1PfM3POF
Rare Spring sunshine and finally holding an actual physical copy of something long confined to a series of badly labelled word docs. Rumbles coming very soon @ProfileBooks@ExploreWellcome
@profhrs @zoe_dubus haha, definitely so. yes, i look at policing etc briefly, but tbh i was more interested in why this has become such a potent folk legend. happy to share the draft if you drop me an email @profhrs
