"The strongest inducement to a frequent or daily use of the substances in question is to be found in the properties they possess; in their capacity to excite the functions of the brain-centres which trans­mit agreeable sensations and to maintain for sometime the conscious­ness of experienced emotions." That's #LouisLewin in 1924, seemingly paving the way for #microdosing & #PsychedelicWellness in his groundbreaking book #Phantastica, which turns 100 next yr. #WorkJournal #PsychedelicReadingList
"By the exercise of their powers on the brain, they release marvelous stores of latent energy. They relieve the mentally tortured, assuage the racking pains of the sick, inspire with hope those doomed to death, endow the overworked with new vital­ity and vigour such as no strength of will could attain, and replace for an hour the exhaustion and languor of the overworked by mental comfort and content." #LouisLewin, #Phantastica, 1924. This guy truly got it. #PsychedelicWellness #WorkJournal
