This is the audio for a lecture by Reid (your favorite inner space doctor) on psychedelics, recorded as part of a ketamine-assisted psychotherapy training at Cedar Psychiatry. Here Reid walks us through a smorgasbord of psychedelic wisdom, such as: a brief timeline of psychedelic discoveries, some distinctions among classes of psychedelics (including what makes us hallucinate), your brain on LSD, what's in that gross tasting ayahuasca stuff, how MDMA helps us heal from trauma, why Gordon Wasson traveled to mexico to meet Maria Sabina (and went on to write a 1957 Life magazine article that birthed a shroom boom), how much psilocybin they're giving in psychedelic research studies, and the unlikely story of ketamine from anesthesia to club to clinic.
Note that slides are referenced throughout, but this is just the audio. If you'd like a copy of the slides, just for fun or to follow along during this episode, visit: tinyurl.com/psychedelicsubstances
