3/ I take back what I said about the alleged “semi-solid” researcher.

I’ve just found video of him laughing as he recalled a volunteer reporting a profoundly distressing psilocybin-associated cardiac event.

Yes, the slimy f*ck was laughing.

AFAIK, this adverse event was not properly reported.

2/ It is essential to note that this individual is no longer employed by CPCR.

3/ Last June, MAPS was informed about Grof’s choice to condone “sometimes inflicting pain” upon patients, as described in the MAPS-published literature referenced above (“LSD Psychotherapy”).

Despite this, MAPS has not publicly addressed this patently abusive approach.

2/ Is the “apolog[y]” from MAPS even “commend[able]” if one of the books cited by Belser and colleagues (LSD Psychotherapy) still retains the passage that condones “sometimes inflicting pain” upon patients?

Is it “commend[able]” that Grof’s passages about LSD-assisted scatolia remain published?

Thanks for blocking me, Dr. Brennan.

I truly appreciate your thoughtful response when evidence of your own research misconduct was presented to you for your consideration.

2/ Nice enough to treat accountability as optional and scrutiny as a nuisance.

Nice enough to ignore the ethical breaches that have shattered (or taken) lives.

Nice enough to pretend that if they don’t acknowledge the questions, the truth itself might just disappear.

While I am certainly glad that this issue has been addressed in a peer-reviewed publication, I wish you had offered the same level of scrutiny when you interviewed various ‘underground’ therapists who flatly admitted to conduct that necessitates boundary violations.

Excellent observation! That would severely limit the total number of cancer patients who would prospectively benefit from this intervention if it were approved.

Any insights on the drug-drug interactions between psilocybin and ondansetron & any specific contraindications?

While tremors can be a sign of neurotoxicity, psilocybin is not neurotoxic AFAIK.

Protocols for CPCR’s cancer study? I do not. They aren’t linked to the study publication. They might be I t be min below but I can’t find them.

6/ One research publication authored by three (3) CPCR researchers (“Human Hallucinogen Research: Guidelines for Safety”) cites Grof’s book “LSD Psychotherapy” (see above) to provide context for their model of psychedelic psychotherapy (with respect to the use of eyeshades and headphones).

Yup.

5/ Grof’s opus “LSD Psychotherapy” repeatedly insists that it is (as expressed in one passage) “absolutely essential” for psychedelic therapy clients to (as expressed in another passage) “keep on the eyeshades and headphones”.

These two (2) passages directly align with Richards’ described approach.

4/ Dr. Richards’ described approach of “exaggerat[ing]” psilocybin-associated tremors (see original post) directly aligns with the approach described by Stanislav ‘Stan’ Grof in his book “LSD Psychotherapy”.

Grof & Richards worked together at Spring Grove.

CPCR studies cite Grof’s publications.
