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. https://www.maps.org https://twitter.com/rick_doblin https://twitter.com/maps Melissa Warner Melissa is a co-founder of The Australian Psychedelic Society and board member of PRISM (Psychedelic Research in Science and Medicine).
