A Dive With The Maestro Behind MDMA Psychotherapy Research - Rick Doblin - HPP 62

Finding the best method of treatment for battling mental illness has always kept researchers and scientists on their toes. It is wonderful that we have all sorts of medicines specifically developed to target certain illnesses. However, these treatments are not always effective in the long term.

A new treatment possibility, most providers over the years have largely ignored, is psychedelics. MDMA-assisted psychotherapy could very well be the future. It could be a new treatment option for our patients who have been struggling and suffering for years with PTSD and other related illnesses.

Today, we are extremely honored to be joined by a very well respected researcher and scientist who has been at the forefront of psychedelic research for decades, fighting to legalize the use of psychedelics for future clinical practice. He is the founder of the multidisciplinary association for psychedelic studies (MAPS), Dr. Rick Doblin. We will be discussing all the interesting data that he and his team of researchers have gathered over the course of their research and we'll learn the possibilities of when this treatment option will be available for the public, its cost and impact, the spiritual links of using psychedelics, and many more interesting topics.
