Believe it or not, MDMA is about to be legal thanks to the efforts of this
week’s guest, Rick Doblin. Soon MDMA will be able to help the tens of
millions of people suffering from serious trauma like PTSD in drug-assisted
therapy sessions. While that might seem amazing, it’s far from Rick
Doblin’s sole focus. He believes it’s a basic human right to have the
freedom to decide to change your own consciousness through drugs— that
politics are not only blocking science but personal experiences that could
help us live more fulfilled and connected lives. In fact, there’s an
argument that for our cultural survival we need to reintroduce the same use
of psychedelics that was a part of human culture for tens, maybe hundreds
of thousands of years.
