Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the Founder and President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master's thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients. His undergraduate thesis at New College of Florida was a 25-year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment, which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He also conducted a thirty-four year follow-up study to Timothy Leary's Concord Prison Experiment. Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner. His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist. He founded MAPS in 1986, and currently resides in Boston with his wife and puppy, with three empty rooms from his children who have all graduated college and begun their life journeys.

Great to hang out with Jake for a few days and catch up. Disappointed that he fell asleep so early every night, but we still had a great time. Watched the super bowl together, took a few runs, hit the beach and the cold plunge. Psyched to have him here on the west coast for the next few years. Will be the first of many times we get together on the podcast, I'm sure.

Show Notes, Links & Resources:Psychedelic Revival Learning Series – videos, resourcesPress release for the training initiativeReconsider – non-profit in the psychedelic space that hosts the gatherings I mentionedVideos from the gatherings & the Stories of TransformationGo Wish cardsSOUL RYEDERS – the cancer organization I startedHeroic Hearts ProjectFireside ProjectBeckley Foundation, Chacruna, Reason For HopeSandy's Bio:Upon graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a BSN & MSN, I worked as a nurse practitioner in a group practice in NYC. After a few years, I decided to pursue an idea I had to develop a starter kit for new parents. The kit became a business, which was ultimately acquired by a health care company. Unfortunately, 9/11 had detrimental effects on our business and our parent company closed our division. I learned a tremendous amount through the experience and have subsequently applied many of the skills I acquired in a myriad of ways.Following a move to Rye, NY with my husband and two young sons in 2002, I began utilizing my nursing, business and entrepreneurial skills to help a variety of local charities as a volunteer.After participating in the 39-mile Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in 2006 in memory of one friend, in honor of another, and a year after having open heart surgery, I started a team for the 2007 Avon Walk. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of what SOUL RYEDERS is today - a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which supports anyone in the NY Tri-State area impacted by any type of cancer. In addition to providing personalized resources and offering several innovative programs, SOUL RYEDERS also awards grants to other local cancer-related organizations. In December 2020, I made the challenging decision to transition from my role as Executive Director of SOUL RYEDERS in an effort to free up time to pursue other interests. I continue to be a part of SOUL RYEDERS as an engaged Board member, strategic advisor, Giving Circle member, Grant Committee Co-Chair, and Young Survivor Group Coordinator.Helping individuals facing terminal illness through SOUL RYEDERS inspired me to expand my knowledge about end-of-life care. Intrigued by the promising research about the safety and efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapy for those impacted by life-threatening conditions, I began a personal learning journey to educate myself about the larger psychedelic ecosystem. In light of the current mental health crisis, and having had a keen interest in mental wellness since childhood, I am now focusing my time and energy towards helping move the needle forward in this field. In addition to SOUL RYEDERS, I am involved with several other non-profit organizations. While my true passion is helping those in need, I love spending time with family & friends, exercising, experiencing different cultures, meeting new people, listening to interesting podcasts, and curling up by the fireplace with a good book & a glass of wine!
