Description

 Since 9/11, we've lost more veterans to suicide than to combat—by a factor of up to ten. Traditional treatments are failing, but there's hope: psychedelic therapy is showing unprecedented success rates in treating service-related PTSD, depression, moral injury, substance abuse, and more. This isn't just about survival—it's about transformation.

While other books tell veterans HOW to use psychedelics, The Veteran's Field Manual for Psychedelics reveals WHY conventional approaches fail and psychedelics succeed. This isn't a workbook—it's a pioneering analysis of military culture, moral injury, and the profound disconnect between warrior and civilian worlds that leaves veterans isolated and misunderstood. Drawing on anthropology, neuroscience, and martial traditions, this book explores why standard therapies often fall short and why a psychedelic healing path that honors rather than pathologizes the warrior identity saves lives.

This book also provides the tactical intelligence needed for successful psychedelic treatment and integration, whether with psilocybin, ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, ibogaine, ketamine, or MDMA.

As demand surges beyond what underground networks can provide, veterans are mobilizing for legal access to these life-saving medicines. This field guide provides the mission-critical information needed to understand how psychedelic therapy works, why it's uniquely effective for combat and service trauma, and how to safely navigate this path to recovery.

The Veteran's Field Manual for Psychedelics isn't just another treatment option—it's a revolution in veteran mental health care. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join the ranks of warriors who have found not just healing, but transcendence through psychedelic medicine.

Advance Praise

"As a military historian of decades, I had no idea the current veteran PTSD crisis was so acute. This book makes a convincing case for psychedelic and MDMA therapy as an effective treatment--and with admirable honesty and objectivity, not an easy task. The parts of the book establishing links with the cleansing rituals and spiritual transformations of warriors in traditional societies resonates strongly. I admire the fluid writing style, the prose simply flows! Let’s hope this book has the sorts of long-term impact it has the potential to make."
