Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Drugs are perceived differently in areas depending on the marketing, cost, and social connotation
• “Consciousness isn’t a single thing that can be understood and characterized [the way DNA can], it’s a collection of different computational experiential phenomena that in concert create a perceived experience.” – Hamilton Morris
• In the right setting and under the right psychological state, psychedelics have the potential to dramatically enrich life
• Psychology plays a large role in psychedelic experience: there are determinants of psychedelic experience that are not tied to the physical properties of the drug alone
• The war on drugs has had such a lasting impact on the perception of drugs and addiction, it’s has set therapeutic research back
• One of the most damaging things happening in society is that we’ve become disconnected from the way things are made – this applies to drugs, movies, articles, etc.
