We’re back…mostly. In this episode we ramble about the Psychedemia conference, the serpent handler researcher who helped legitimize Johns Hopkins’ psychedelic research, Steve Jobs’ guru “Toxic Bob”, hot psilocybin patent garbage, Mind Medicine Australia’s utterly cringe appearance on ABC’s Four Corners documentary “Psyched Up”, popping psychedelic hype bubbles, and Dave’s new studio that’s covered in fractal horses.

Psychologist Ralph Hood’s study of serpent handling and mysticism helped legitimize the study of psychedelics. So why doesn’t he want them approved for medical use?
The Misadventures Of “Toxic Bob”
Throughout his
lifetime, Robert Friedland has evolved from Steve Jobs' psychedelic

in his wake.

ABC Four Corners:
Psyched Up
In Australia and overseas there's a push to make psychedelic drugs
part of mainstream medicine for the treatment of trauma and other
mental health conditions. Results from clinical trials are
promising for PTSD sufferers where conventional treatments have
failed. Reporter Elise Worthington also investigates the dark side
of this form of therapy where disturbing cases of abuse and
malpractice are emerging in both clinical trials and the
underground. There's now pressure in the industry to downplay the
negative stories by those who stand to profit from the business of
psychedelics.
