Today we’re expanding our minds with Rick Doblin, a man who has been on a 40-year journey to bring therapeutic psychedelics into modern medicine.
We are living in what has been termed the 'psychedelic renaissance', an extraordinary moment where medical research is dropping long-held prejudices around psychedelics that stemmed from the war on drugs in the 1960s.
Rick has been at the epicentre of this shift, and shares anecdotes ranging from hilarious college experiences to enlightening reflections on the nature of democracy.
