Cluster headache is widely considered the most severe pain disorder that humans experience. When Joanna Kempner met Bob Wold in 2012, she was introduced to a world beyond most people's comprehension - a clandestine network determined to find relief using magic mushrooms. These 'Clusterbusters,' a group united only by the internet and a desire to survive, decided to do the research that medicine left unfinished. They produced their own psychedelic treatment protocols and managed to get academics at Harvard and Yale to test their results. Along the way, Kempner explores not only the history and exploding popularity of psychedelic science, but also a regulatory system so repressive that the sick are forced to find their own homegrown remedies, and corporate America and university professors stand to profit from their transgressions.
