Psychedelics have come a long way from "tuning in and dropping out," at least for the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. MAPS hopes to develop psychedelics and marijuana into legal prescription drugs for physical and mental health, even treating drug addiction! If this sounds unfamiliar, you're a little behind the times. Even the endlessly dapper Cary Grant was clued-in to the magical powers of psychedelics before Timothy Leary and The Beatles made them the drugs of choice at parties. At tonight's event, MAPS features a reading by Stanislav Grof from his new work, Modern Consciousness Research and the Understanding of Art, which depicts art as both the medium and the message of psychedelic healing. There will also be an art show to further underscore the night's themes.
Drop in to drop out at 7 p.m. at Bently Reserve, 301 Battery St., S.F. $30; maps.org.
