Hilaritas host Mike Gathers talks with researcher, author, teacher, and consultant, Dr. James Fadiman. 

Richard Alpert first turned Jim onto psilocybin in 1961.  Jim soon moved to Perry Lane, the Stanford Bohemian Quadrant which was ground zero for Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.  There in Menlo Park, Jim guided Stuart Brand on his first LSD experience.  He went on to help found the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and continues to teach to this day. Jim wrote the Psychedelic Explorers Guide Safe, Therapeutic, and Sacred Journeys in 2011, and has co-written with his friend Jordan Gruber, Microdosing for Health, Healing and Advanced Performance, and Your Symphony of Selves: Discover and Understand More of who we are.
