There’s a revolution in the way doctors are treating mental health, but the UK could be at risk of falling behind.
Dr. Kate Devlin speaks to Dr. Matt Wall, a cognitive neuroscientist at Imperial College London and Invicro, to discuss microdosing, legal red tape and what happens when you give an octopus MDMA.
- "Drug policy isn’t on the agenda for any of the main UK parties. They just don’t care.”
- "After the trip wears off, the antidepressant effect can last for days or even months.”
- “Current legislation makes it incredibly difficult to research psychedelics.”
