PT561 – Psychedelics Lately – Massachusetts' Question 4 and Updates in Psychedelics and Chronic Pain, with Joe Moore & Kyle Buller

Psychedelics Today

In this episode, Joe and Kyle finally meet up again for the first episode of Psychedelics Lately: the updated version of the much-missed Psychedelics Weekly, where they’ll meet each month to talk about the most interesting stories in psychedelics.

The main story this month is the fate of Massachusetts’ Question 4: Regulated Access to Psychedelic Substances Initiative (The Natural Psychedelic Substances Act). They discuss what they like about the bill, its opposition, and its support, including actress Eliza Dushku Palandjian, who went from a diagnosis of PTSD and an in-the-psychedelic-closet underground experience to becoming a very public, soon-to-be certified psychedelic facilitator. If you live in Massachusetts, make sure to read about the bill and get out and vote this Tuesday (or now, if you’re registered for early voting).

They also discuss:

• Joe’s recent east coast travels to Harvard and the PhilaDelic conference
• Alfred North Whitehead and Process Philosophy
• The Psychedelics and Pain Association, and Court Wing’s involvement in the first published case report of complex regional pain syndrome being treated with psilocybin
• The scientific community needing to embrace more experientially-based approaches and practices
• The challenge of making meaning out of the mystical
