Patient 13

Chronically single in NYC, Gail has always been good at staying busy, setting boundaries and avoiding intimacy. That is, until a scary diagnosis makes her realize that she might just need to slow down, chill out, and get some help. But, who can she trust? “I got rid of all the toxic people and there was no one left.”

'Her life takes unexpected turns, hilarious and often shocking, leading to her participation as “Patient #13” in a ground-breaking FDA study of psilocybin (magic mushrooms) for cancer survivors with anxiety and depression. The study blazed a trail for the potential legalization of psychedelics for medical use. Gail has been interviewed by the New York Times, the Atlantic (Michael Pollan), Vsauce, and CNN.
