The Ego Trip: Author Event on Psychedelic Toads & 5-MeO-DMT

On 9.11.26, join The Psychedelic Assembly in Midtown Manhattan for an evening with author Kimon de Greef to explore his highly anticipated new book, "The Ego Trip: Psychedelic Toads, A Trail of Deaths and The Guru Who Peddled Transcendence"

Part true crime, part investigative journalism, and part cultural history, The Ego Trip traces the extraordinary rise of 5-MeO-DMT ("toad medicine") from obscure psychedelic sacrament to global phenomenon. Kimon will be joined in conversation by acclaimed journalist Shayla Love for a fireside discussion about this new book, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Copies of "The Ego Trip" will be available for purchase on-site.
