ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first book by Carles Tamayo, creator of How to Hunt a Monster, winner of the Ondas Award for Best Documentary.

How does a normal person, like you or me, end up trapped in a self-destructive cult without realizing it?

This book is not told from a distance, but from within. Carles Tamayo, journalist and researcher specialized in getting involved where he's not wanted, recounts his first-hand immersion in the world of New Age cults, which use drugs such as ayahuasca to attract followers under false therapeutic pretexts. These are spaces that promise healing, expansion of consciousness, and spiritual growth, but which hide a much darker reality: dynamics of control, emotional abuse, and a business model disguised as enlightenment.

The investigation, based on exhaustive fieldwork, is narrated with Carles Tamayo's characteristic critical, direct, and ironic tone, in which the anguish of such a risky mission is mixed with the intimacy of a confessional vlog.

The Hallucinogenic God is much more than a personal experience: it is a manual for detecting the traps of the new esotericism which, disguised as science and spirituality, draws in vulnerable people, those who are looking for answers, comfort, or simply a way to give meaning to their lives.
