Tripping Point

A luxe guide to the world of psychedelics from the award-winning lifestyle brand, Gossamer.

From the indigenous use of iboga in Central Africa, to the medicinal use of ketamine among cult survivors, and the self-optimizing use of psilocybin in Silicon Valley, psychedelics have long been taken to heal, expand, and explore. Tripping Point: The Modern Guide to Psychedelics is an illuminating, humorous, and eye-catching guide to the wide and varied world of these drugs—both legal and illegal.

Tripping Point features chapters on psilocybin, ketamine, ayahuasca, DMT, iboga, LSD, MDMA, mescaline, and digital psychedelics, each containing an overview of the drug’s discovery, history, and use, as well as a larger discussion of its current and future impact on culture, business, and medicine. Interspersed throughout are profiles of growers, dealers, researchers, practitioners, creatives, common users, and celebrities including Adam Pally, Sarah Goldberg, Zazie Beetz, and Esther Perel.

Tripping Point also features a stunning design rooted in the award-winning aesthetic of the Gossamer publications, including gorgeous photos of psychedelic users, sets, and settings. QR codes placed strategically throughout the book link to interactive elements, including a small guide to micro-dosing, a giant guide to macro-dosing, trip guides, meditations, and playlists.

Armchair travel for the brain, Tripping Point is a glamorous look into a mysterious world that will broaden your mind and ensnare the senses—whether or not you want to trip.
