In this episode, I spoke with Suresh Muthukumaraswamy - a pioneer in the field of psychedelic research in New Zealand. His research team are embarking on the first government-sanctioned LSD micro-dosing trial in the history of his home country.

In a space where many activists hide in scientists clothing, it is good to know when you are talking with the real thing - someone who seems to be in search of truth before tenure.

The perennial problem of ‘blinding’ in psychedelic research is somewhat circumnavigated at sub-perceptual doses of LSD, and what we will learn from such studies might just be the island of signal in an ocean of noise. It was a pleasure to talk to him.
