Hope for the Future: How MAPS is Working to Help PTSD Patients with MDMA (With guest Matt Neal)

Hey Idiots!

I'm back in gear with one of my favorite people on the LA comedy scene, Matt Neal. He's a rad guy and I've known him since my early LA comedy days. He's easy to talk to and happens to be involved with MAPS which is on the forefront of psychedelic therapy research. We talked all about how he got involved and how they're changing the prognosis of PTSD patients for the better with MDMA.

There's so much that goes into getting things like this legal and he walks me through the process and what the research has shown so far. It's a really cool chat about something that has eluded many mental health professionals for so long, and the key might have been right in front of us this whole time. Holding a glow stick, probably.

Enjoy!
