Psychedelic therapy is on the verge of reshaping mental health, trauma healing, and human consciousness. This episode reveals what's really happening behind the scenes at the FDA, inside pharmaceutical companies, and within the global movement to legalize MDMA-assisted therapy. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Rick Doblin, PhD, the legendary founder of MAPS and one of the most influential figures in psychedelic science. With nearly 40 years leading clinical research on MDMA, psilocybin, and trauma healing, Rick brings unmatched insight into how these compounds are transforming functional medicine, emotional resilience, and neuroplasticity. They break down the regulatory battle over MDMA therapy, the clash between pharmaceutical profit and public benefit, and the urgent need to combine pharmacology with therapy for real results. You'll also learn how psychedelics impact neurohacking, epigenetics, and the default mode network—and why the next frontier of self-transformation may be couples therapy with MDMA. This episode offers critical knowledge for anyone serious about biohacking, trauma release, mental performance, and accessing deeper states of healing. This podcast channel dives into the intersections of psychedelics with fasting, ketosis, cold therapy, and self-quantification—and how altered states can unlock more energy, better relationships, and lasting change. You'll Learn: • Why separating therapy from psychedelics is the most dangerous path forward • How MAPS evolved into a public benefit pharma company—and what went wrong • The real story behind the FDA's rejection of MDMA therapy in 2024 • How MDMA affects neuroplasticity, mitochondria, and trauma recovery • Why group therapy and couples therapy are the future of psychedelic healing • The dangers of overusing ketamine—and how it's being exploited by profit-driven clinics • What the Psychedelic Science 2025 conference will reveal about the future of medicine, spirituality, and consciousness hacking • How psychedelics could reverse epigenetic trauma passed down through generations • The role of default mode network suppression in spiritual experiences and trauma resolution • Why the war on drugs was never about safety—and what a post-drug-war world might look like Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

A trucker who took CBD oil for pain control was abruptly fired after failing a drug test that found THC, the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana, in his system. Although the product was marketed as THC free–a claim the man verified with the manufacturer–it was not and federal law mandated his termination. It's yet another case of awful drug laws and even worse science harming good people. Story discussed: Supreme Court THC Case Highlights Our Flawed Drug Laws Follow us on X: @ACSHorg, @camjenglish

Drug policy feels very unsettled right now. The war on drugs was a failure. But so far, the war on the war on drugs hasn't entirely been a success, either.Take Oregon. In 2020, it became the first state in the nation to decriminalize hard drugs. It was a paradigm shift — treating drug-users as patients rather than criminals — and advocates hoped it would be a model for the nation. But then there was a surge in overdoses and public backlash over open-air drug use. And last month, Oregon's governor signed a law restoring criminal penalties for drug possession, ending that short-lived experiment.Other states and cities have also tipped toward backlash. And there are a lot of concerns about how cannabis legalization and commercialization is working out around the country. So what did the supporters of these measures fail to foresee? And where do we go from here?Keith Humphreys is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University who specializes in addiction and its treatment. He also served as a senior policy adviser in the Obama administration. I asked him to walk me through why Oregon's policy didn't work out; what policymakers sometimes misunderstand about addiction; the gap between “elite” drug cultures and how drugs are actually consumed by most people; and what better drug policies might look like.Mentioned:Oregon Health Authority dataBook Recommendations:Drugs and Drug Policy by Mark A.R.

In his latest book, "Beware Euphoria," Fisher explores the moral and racial dimensions of drug prohibition, challenging conventional narratives.

He also discusses the 19th-century roots of drug prohibition, particularly the moral concerns driving the anti-drug laws.(00:11:42) Chapter 2: Racial Narratives and Mass IncarcerationRich Ford discusses the common narrative linking mass incarceration to the war on drugs and its alleged racial motivations.

Concerns about the increasing potency of marijuana and its potential backlash are explored, suggesting a need for careful regulation and messaging.(00:30:19) Conclusion: Closing RemarksRich Ford wraps up the conversation with George Fisher discussing insights and emphasizing the importance of discussing the ongoing struggle with drugs and intoxicants.

"The Tragic Consequences of Strict Drug Policies: Remembering Lee Sun-kyun"Larry Michigan, starts off by wishing everyone a happy new year and reminiscing about the Grateful Dead's legendary New Year's Eve shows. He decides to feature songs from the Grateful Dead's New Year's Eve show in 1981 at the Oakland Coliseum. Larry describes the chaotic countdown and the band's energetic performance at midnight. He also pays tribute to John Cutler, a Grateful Dead sound technician and producer who recently passed away. Larry discusses the strict anti-drug policies in South Korea and the tragic death of Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun, who was subjected to relentless media scrutiny for his alleged marijuana use. He criticizes the punitive approach to drug abuse and emphasizes the need for rehabilitation rather than punishment. Larry also predicts that the University of Michigan's football team will win their game against the University of Alabama in the Rose Bowl based on his "Deadhead Cannabis System." The episode concludes with a discussion of the Grateful Dead's performance of "Dark Star" at the New Year's Eve show and the significance of the song's rarity.Timestamp Chapters:00:00:36 - Introduction and New Year's Eve celebration00:04:22 - Featuring songs from the Grateful Dead's New Year's Eve show of 198100:05:52 - Discussion on the song "Iko Iko" and the energy of a Dead New Year's Eve show00:33:48 - Tragic story of Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun and the strict anti-drug policies in South Korea00:38:00 - Predicting the winner of the Michigan vs. Alabama football game using the Deadhead Cannabis System00:42:00 - The encore set featuring Dark Star and other songsNote: The timestamps are approximate and may vary slightly when listening to the actual podcast episode.  Grateful DeadDecember 31, 1981Oakland ColiseumGrateful Dead Live at Oakland Auditorium on 1981-12-31 : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive *With Joan Baez **With Matt Kelly ***With John Cipollina.

Pennsylvania Drug Laws May Limit Syringe ServicesPennsylvania is one of 12 states that do not implicitly or explicitly authorize syringe services programs through statute or regulation, according to a recent analysis. They are widely considered to be illegal outside of Allegheny County and Philadelphia, where officials have for decades used local health power to grant legal protection to people who operate syringe services programs.These programs have widespread support in the medical community, and expanding them is listed as one of nine “Core Strategies” for the tens of billions of dollars coming to states as part of settlements with drug companies for their role in allegedly fueling the opioid epidemic. A coalition of state attorneys general reached the agreements with the companies.Pennsylvania expects to receive more than $1.6 billion in opioid settlement funds, but the state's ban makes it significantly harder for the money to directly support expanding syringe services in many places.Some supporters of syringe services programs operate underground. Carla Sofronski, executive director of the Pennsylvania Harm Reduction Network, said she's not aware of anyone ever facing criminal charges for doing so in the state, but noted the threat hangs over them, and they are taking a “great risk.”Read more at sciencefriday.com.These Romance Novels Represent Black Women In ScienceThe fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (also known as STEM) are not particularly diverse. And despite a gradual uptick in diversity over the last decade, a 2023 report from the National Science Foundation showed that only 24% of people in these industries are Hispanic, Black, or Native American.Dr. Carlotta Berry is working to change that, taking an untraditional approach to encourage people from marginalized backgrounds to enter the sciences. She is, as she puts it, an engineering professor by day and romance novelist by night. Working under the pen name Carlotta Ardell, she writes youth-friendly romance novels featuring Black protagonists who work in STEM fields.SciFri producer and host of the Universe Of Art podcast D. Peterschmidt sat down with Dr. Berry, who is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, to talk about how she got started on this journey and why she wants to make STEM a little steamier.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

According to the CDC, deaths from opioids more than doubled to 105,000 from January 2015 to January 2023.

Bill Radke discusses the week's news with Seattle Times David Kroman, host, writer, and producer Angela Poe Russell, and KUOW's Dyer Oxley.

The consumption of hard drugs has been legal in Portugal for decades, but now resistance is building. With addicts using in public spaces, even outside schools, many demand more protection for society and less care for addicts.

It's been one year since Oregon decriminalized drug possession as part of a new approach to treating drug abuse. Jack Holmes is a freelance writer who most recently spent eight years at Esquire magazine, and he joins guest host Courtney Collins to discuss why heroin and fentanyl are now easily-accessible street drugs, and if this radical way of confronting addiction as a behavioral-health issue is doing more harm than good. His article in Esquire is “The Land Beyond the Drug War.”

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. David Herzberg. "A historian of drugs whose research focuses on the legal kind—psychoactive pharmaceuticals, Dr. Zerzberg explores the nature and trajectory of drug commerce, drug use, and drug policy in American racial capitalism." He's classified as a White Man and teaches at the University of Buffalo - same city as the TOP'S grocery store massacre. Along with Helen Hansen and Jules Netherland, Dr. Herzberg co-authored: WHITEOUT - How Racial Capitalism Changed the Color of Opioids in America. The 2 White and 1 non-white authors make explicit that legislation and enforcement of drug regulations is always about the maintenance of White Supremacy. We'll discuss his upbringing in a likely Racially Restricted Region/Sundown Town as well as his own use of narcotics as a White Man. We'll also inquire about odd terms in the book like "honorary blacks" - which suggests that poor White people are treated in a manner similar to black people (HUGE LIE). Dr. Herzberg was mighty loquacious during many portions of the exchange. In responding to Gus's definition of Racism/White Supremacy, Dr. Herzberg told us about "Whiteness Island" and suggested that people classified as White could somehow be "de-categorized" if they do not adhere to the White Supremacist code. Upon inspection, Dr. Herzberg conceded both suppositions are invalid. Gus did not waste time researching vacations packages for "Whiteness Island." #SobrietyWouldBeBest #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Episode 263: Approaching the week of 4/20, cannabis enthusiasts worldwide are preparing for a unique celebration. However, it's essential to acknowledge the dark history of cannabis prohibition in Canada and the USA. The criminalization of cannabis wasn't based on scientific evidence of its harmful effects or widespread health concerns but was fuelled by moral panic, racism, and xenophobia. It served as a tool to maintain a rigid social hierarchy, where those in power and privilege oppressed and marginalized those considered inferior. The ‘war on drugs' transformed into a ‘war on cannabis,' ultimately becoming a war on minorities in both countries. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

WASHINGTON — Washington lawmakers are considering several bills to decide how the state will handle drug laws in the wake of a 2021 supreme court ruling that struck down the state's felony drug possession statute.A stopgap measure passed by the legislature after the supreme court's 'Blake decision' will expire this summer.The Senate Law and Justice committee heard proposals Tuesday for new laws that would criminalize drug possession and incentivize drug users to go to rehab.Sen. Jesse Salomon (D - Shoreline) is sponsoring one of the proposals, SB 5476, which would require people arrested for drug possession to engage in treatment or face at least 45 days in jail.“Our communities are suffering from rampant public drug use. I think we need to send a message to judges that they need to take these charges seriously," Salomon said. “This creates a system where they can be arrested, not with the intent to jail them but to say, look, the state and cities they need an option to get people into treatment.”Support the showSign Up For Exclusive Episodes At: https://reasonabletv.com/LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos every day. https://www.youtube.com/c/NewsForReasonablePeople

There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.     https://www.aa.org/ https://www.na.org/meetingsearch/   Marijuana Anonymous (just in case):   This Naked Mind

From next year the Australian Capital Territory will decriminalise the possession of small amounts of nine illicit drugs, including cocaine heroin and crystal meth. It follows the territory decriminalising the personal use of cannabis in 2020. ACT health minster Rachel Stephen Smith talks to Kathryn about why the government has supported decriminalisation and what will happen next.

The Health Minister has admitted the country's drug laws are out of date. Critics of New Zealand's drug legislation say it's not in line with other countries, which treat drug use as a health rather than a criminal issue.  Andrew Little told Morning Report striking the right balance between reglating drugs that cause harm and those that don't remains a challenge. National Party MP Paul Goldsmith and Green Party MP Chloe Swarbrick spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Critics of drug laws focus on the costs, both in dollars and lives, of incarcerating people for an act that often hurts no one. Lost in the discussion is the cost of making it harder for people who suffer from chronic pain to obtain drugs they need to function.

Most of us were warned about drugs in elementary school through the D.A.R.E program (Drug Abuse Resistance Programs), which in a nustshell told us don't take drugs or you'll die. But somehow we were still curious and it's estimated that 47% of young people use an illegal drug by the time they graduate high school and among Americans 31.9 million are current illegal drug users. So why do we do drugs when we know about the harmful effects they have — addiction, criminal offenses, diseases, and even death? What is wrong with us?

What is going on with Oregon Drug Laws? The state of Oregon made history, the first state in the United States to decriminalize the possession of all hard drugs on November 2020.  Marijuana was legalized in Oregon since 2014. Is this a good idea, a bad idea, or a yet to be determined social experiment? Oregon Measure 110, a ballot initiative funded by the Drug Policy Alliance, an advocacy group that promotes drug normalization, and passed with more than 58% of the vote. Possession of heroin, cocaine, meth, ecstasy or other drugs is no longer a criminal offense in Oregon. Possession may be a civil, not a criminal violation that may result in a fine or court ordered therapy, but not jail. People in Oregon can carry small amounts of drugs. What is a small amount? Less than 1g of heroin, less than 2 g of meth, less than 40 pills of oxycodone.  You can judge if you think that is small or large.
