Errata

The book has been out for ten days and there’s already an errata page. Science moves faster than ink dries. So here we are—collecting the updates, corrections, and “how did we miss that?” moments. This is the book’s living edge, a place for new findings before the next edition catches up.

More Psychedelics

🌿 Ayahuasca: Beyond DMT

The book covers DMT’s role in ayahuasca, but the brew’s other components also deserve attention. Tetrahydroharmine (THH)’s subjective effects are distinctive and fascinating. Visit my fluid opinion.

🍷 Kykeon Rediscovered?

Stahl’s identification of a plausible recipe for soma (or kykeon) is the kind of claim that sounds too dramatic to be real. But I encourage you to meander through the Stahl shrine and judge for yourself.

🌱 Cannabis: More Favorites [TODO]

This one comes with a caveat the size of Colorado: My favorites are spectacular. But are they really? Even taking the same precisely measured recipes, will two people following the same protocol have similar experiences? The cannabis experimentation journal that I featured in Chapter 8 was not a fictional conceit.

👁️ Missed by Every Eye

On page 323, the phrase “feitio preparation ceremony” contains a redundancy: feitio already means preparation. The corrected text should read “feitio ceremony.”

I know. Your copy is pristine. The margins are unblemished. The spine still has that satisfying crack. The thought of taking a pen to it feels like vandalism. But I promise you: as the author, I am formally, officially, and with great ceremony granting you permission to cross out that one little word. A single thin line through “preparation.” That’s all. The page will survive. You might even feel a small thrill of liberation. 🖊️

If you truly can’t bring yourself to do it, pencil works too. Or a very tiny sticky note. I won’t judge.
