This edited volume brings together a diverse team of palliative physicians, therapists, researchers, spiritual guides, and entrepreneurs, to explore for the first time the use of psychedelic medicines in palliative care and addiction medicine. This robust team collaborated to write eight chapters exploring the history, cultural significance, science, and legal status of eight major psychedelic medications. Each medication holds fascinating promise for treatment of symptoms such as pain, depression, PTSD, and existential distress, making them some of the most interesting drugs on the horizon currently. _Psychedelics in Palliative Care_ presents some of the most novel medications that exist in medicine. These are drugs that were rarely studied until recently and are currently undergoing a renaissance in medical research and development. They hold huge potential for treatment of the symptoms experienced in those with terminal illness, debilitating chronic illnesses, and addiction. Many will find the book both fascinating and useful, including patients, providers, students, and those in the general population curious to learn more about this new and exciting field.
