The bad and the ugly: understanding negative effects from psychedelics with Abigail Calder – ALPS podcast (GUEST)
In this episode, syde & WarcoBrienza welcome Abigail Calder, PhD candidate at University of Fribourg.
For decades, most rhetoric about psychedelics focused on their negative effects. This might make it seem like we know all there is to know about bad reactions to psychedelics - but how much do we really know? In her recent talk at ALPS conference 2023, Abigail aimed to separate fact from fiction and give an update on the unwanted, negative effects that can occur with psychedelics, in all settings.
