Why do we know so little about substances that alter consciousness? What does science really say about their risks and benefits? And what lies behind the myths, fears, and prejudices that accompany the discourse about them?
Festive launch evening!
In his new book, "Drug Encyclopedia," Dr. Itamar Cohen seeks to create order in a world full of myths, partial information, and fears. The book offers a clear, accessible, and research-based introduction to a variety of consciousness-altering substances, their effects on the brain and mind, the risks involved, and the therapeutic potential researched in recent years. This is not a book that encourages use, but one that seeks to replace ignorance with knowledge, fear with understanding, and judgment with an open and responsible conversation.
Through a combination of scientific explanations alongside descriptions of experiences and effects, it offers readers a roadmap in a complex, intriguing, and more relevant than ever world. During a festive launch evening for the book's release, Dr. Itamar Cohen will discuss its main insights, the current research in the field of consciousness-altering substances, and the social, medical, and cultural challenges accompanying the discourse around them.
A fascinating evening about science, consciousness, knowledge, and the need to deeply understand one of the most talked-about, controversial, and impactful topics of our time.
