Dosed‪?‬

Dosed? (Emphatic Thumb Press, 2026) is a co-authored memoir that traces the psychedelic journeys of two married writers of a certain age-a Frenchman with a ravenous, lifelong appetite for kaleidoscopic experiences, and an American woman who largely eschewed drugs until, well, recently. Across a series of braided essays, we explore our separate paths through psychedelic experimentation-from the communes of 1970s France to contemporary cannabutter cuisine and later-in-life erotically charged LSD trips. Along the way, we reflect on love, loss, aging, consciousness, and what it means to live a psychedelic life over decades.

The book is rooted in memory, memoir, and cultural commentary. Told in alternating voices, it offers a rare cross-cultural perspective on psychedelics, refracted through a marriage and two very different writing styles: one earthy and anarchic, the other analytic and lyrical. Think How to Change Your Mind meets Bluets, filtered through The Marriage Plot and several grams of psilocybin.
