Illegal Substances That Heal
Publisher Grasset
A memoir showing how the distinction between illicit substances and legal medicines has been completely upended.

Suffering from cancer, New York-based journalist Stéphanie Chayet, opted for an original and innovative form of treatment: consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms. Drawing on her own personal experiences, she retraces the history of psychotropic drugs and explains how they can open up remarkable new medical possibilities, provided that their consumption is properly supervised.
