Preparing for this talk has been scarier for me

"Psychedelics are to the study of the mind

He's one of the leading psychedelic researchers in the world,

Today, I'd like to share with you how psychedelics, when used wisely,

psychedelic research flourished all over the world

and showed great promise for the fields of psychiatry,

neuroscience and the study of mystical experiences.

But psychedelics leaked out of the research settings

and began to be used by the counterculture,

And in 1970, the US government criminalized all uses of psychedelics,

and they began shutting down all psychedelic research.

And this ban spread all over the world and lasted for decades.

since psychedelics are really just tools,

and whether their outcomes are beneficial or harmful

and it relates to drugs like LSD, psilocybin, mescaline,

I was experimenting with LSD and mescaline,

and these experiences brought me in touch with my emotions.

And they helped me have a spiritual connection

that unfortunately, my bar mitzvah did not produce.

I would tell them that they drove me to psychedelics

because my bar mitzvah had failed to turn me into a man.

psychedelics gave me this feeling of our shared humanity,

And other people reported that same thing as well.

And I felt that these experiences had the potential

to tribalism, to fundamentalism, to genocide and environmental destruction.

and becoming a legal psychedelic psychotherapist.

we're in the midst of a global renaissance of psychedelic research.

Psychedelic psychotherapy is showing great promise

for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD,

depression, social anxiety, substance abuse and alcoholism

Psychedelic psychotherapy is an attempt to go after the root causes

with just relatively few administrations,

as contrasted to most of the psychiatric drugs used today

and are meant to be taken on a daily basis.

Psychedelics are now also being used as tools for neuroscience

and to study the enduring mystery of human consciousness.

And psychedelics and the mystical experiences they produce

are being explored for their connections between meditation and mindfulness,

including a paper just recently published

about lifelong zen meditators taking psilocybin

and showing long-term benefits and brain changes.

Modern neuroscience research has demonstrated

in what's known as the brain's default mode network.

This is where we create our sense of self.

according to our personal needs and priorities.

When activity is reduced in the default mode network,

our ego shifts from the foreground to the background,

and we see that it's just part of a larger field of awareness.

that Copernicus and Galileo were able to produce in humanity

to show that the earth was no longer the center of the universe,

but was actually something that revolved around the sun,

and among the most important experiences of their lives.

They feel more connected to the world bigger than themselves.

and they lose some of their fear of death.
