Dr. Matthew W. Johnson, Ph.D. joins Jillian this week. He’s the Susan Hill Ward Endowed Professor of Psychedelics and Consciousness Research at Johns Hopkins and the world’s most widely published expert on psychedelics. His research in the clinical use of psychedelics has helped people transform their lives. From quitting smoking to cancer distress treatment, management of anxiety, depression and more - psychedelics may change the future of psychology and behavioral science as we know it.
First, we take a deep dive into the historical and cultural components of drugs like peyote, mescaline, ayahuasca, psylocibin, LSD, morning glory, and more. Then, Dr. Johnson explains how these drugs affect the brain and, subsequently, how they work to help us heal psychological trauma, overcome addiction, and find peace. Plus, listener questions for Dr. Johnson on everything from micro dosing to LSD for chronic pain management. This show will blow your mind! Find out how psychedelics might help you.
