Lucys Rausch Nr. 16

Lucy's Rausch explores the interdisciplinary topic surrounding all psychoactive drugs from various perspectives – in the form of reports, interviews, articles, features, and images. New developments, art, music, and literature are part of the spectrum, as well as drug policy and consumption habits from past to present.

Lucy's Rausch provides background knowledge on ethnobotany, science, and culture related to psychoactive substances, which are relevant across all social strata and age groups.

Lucy's Rausch informs about the origins, uses, and history of individual substances – from sacred ritual plants to the everyday use of mind-altering molecules – and also covers non-pharmacologically induced alterations of consciousness.

Among other exciting topics:
• Jonathan Ott: The Muscimol-containing mushrooms
• Psychoactive mushrooms in Mexico: A travel report
• LSD and the Rose of Paracelsus: William Leonard Pickard in conversation

and many other contributions to the study of intoxication, psychonautics, drug policy, and more.
