Certified Conscious

We wrap up 2022 with a psychedelics focused episode. Listeners are invited to join the conversation with experts working in legal, standards, research funding, and science aspects of the burgeoning industry.  The episode kicks off with a game about infrastructure and the required picks and shovels for building it.  We then discuss the importance of standards for psychedelics assisted psychotherapy and the launch of a non-profit organization providing leadership in that area.  The episode wraps up with a discussion around indigenous views on the “psychedelics renaissance”, inspired by a recent article published in the journal  Anthropology of Consciousness. 

Special thanks to the sponsor of this episode the East Fork Cultivars.
