Devin found out the hard way that psychedelics can have a very dark side. This is a story of discovery and of joy...of connection and dancing and jam bands....and it’s also a story of two psychotic breaks, sexual assault, and the eventual grinding realization that psychedelics demand respect. Devin speaks out so that others might avoid her mistakes and take seriously the imperative of having a safe container for psychedelic exploration and therapy.
