Altered States

Experts discuss the science of taking the trip out of psychedelics while maintaining the therapeutic benefits, a conversation inspired by a recent article published in Nature. Psychedelics policy is also addressed with a game that tests our guests' knowledge about opposition and support for proposition 122 in Colorado. The show wraps up with a discussion of best practices for performing research on how cannabis may affect the endocannabinoid system.
