America’s drug war, revealed — this is excellent and horrifying. It is a solid intro to the complexities (racism | trauma) of drug policy and a good entry point for your uninformed [and possibly fearful] friends and family. revealnews.org/episodes/ameri…

Here's an amusing one. There's a new broadway show coming soon about the use of LSD by Aldous Huxley, Clare Boothe Luce, & Cary Grant. Apparently it has tap dancing! The times, they are a-changing. * nytimes.com/2019/08/20/the… * #Erowid #LSD #Media #AldousHuxley #CaryGrant

I am thrilled to announce that the recording of my Ted Talk about psychedelic research is now available! On the main stage at TED2019, I spoke on how psychedelics can shift the field of mental health and MAPS’ MDMA-assisted psychotherapy research. go.ted.com/rickdoblin


Interesting interview — more informative than the usual high-drama opioid epidemic media coverage. Appreciated the brief but impassioned assertion about the unjust disparity between public perception of opioid versus heroin addictions and the communities most impacted by each.
