The Dream Drugstore

Exploring the brain's chemistry, this book delves into how altered states of consciousness arise from shifts in chemical balance during wakefulness and sleep. J. Allan Hobson examines recent research on psychedelic drugs and their impact on this balance, linking imbalances to conditions like depression and schizophrenia. Additionally, he discusses how certain drugs can help restore the brain's natural equilibrium, offering insights into the complex relationship between brain chemistry and consciousness.
