A note for parents
This is an adult memoir about the author's personal experiment with microdosing LSD to manage bipolar depression—it is not written for children and contains sophisticated discussion of mental illness, drug use, and adult psychological themes. While the author approaches the subject thoughtfully and educationally, the book's primary audience is adults seeking insight into mental health treatment and psychedelics. Teens interested in neuroscience, mental health, or memoir may find value with parental guidance, but younger readers lack the maturity to process the material appropriately.
