Episode notes

I remember reading, you know, just like, art. And I would read a lot of the people publishing things on the internet. They were writing like proto blogs in San Francisco. The two things that were happening in San Francisco at the time were tech and early burning man. But it was also like really, really demonized in the press here. Big time. MDMA was always like, that's kind of a scary one.

As implausible as it might sound, it's entirely possible that by this time next year, MDMA could be recognized as a medicine eligible for insurance coverage. In a captivating discussion, Adam engages with journalist and author Rachel Nuwer to explore the extraordinary trajectory of MDMA, from its accidental laboratory creation to becoming the quintessential party drug, enduring as the primary target in the War on Drugs, and now potentially heralding a groundbreaking advancement in the field of mental health.
