Podcast 487 – “Mainstreaming Psychedelics”

Guest speaker: Rick Doblin PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: All quotations are by Rick Doblin.] “We need to move to a post-prohibition world.” “The spiritual/mystical experience has profound implications of the kind that we need now.” “Not in our studies only, but world wide there have now been over 1,100 people who have taken pure MDMA in research since the early '90s. And there's never been anybody who overheated and died. . . . We've never had anybody overheat. We've never had anybody have a heart attack. We've never had anybody have a mental breakdown. So we've shown in a clinical setting MDMA can be administered safely.” “We are currently estimating that MDMA will be a prescription medicine in 2021.” Download MP3 PCs – Right click, select option Macs – Ctrl-Click, select option The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Lorenzo's Interview on the Natural Born Alchemist Podcast /* Confessions of an Ecstasy Advocate (video)
