My piece in the latest @newscientist.com about #psychedelics and science.

You can listen to 'THE TRIP' podcast series now on BBC Sounds (or in other podcast places).

Work on medical uses of mind-altering substances was sidelined for decades by the political backlash against drugs, a misstep that has echoes in today’s intolerance of some fields of study

In the first episode, I explain what is specific about psychedelics as treatment in psychiatry.
In last episode, dealing about the future of psychedelics, I talk about the possible dissociation between the psychedelic experience and the therapeutic effects:

have you ever thought very very hard about ice cubes and how they could be better?

this @timhayward.bsky.social piece is fascinating and - as one commenter says - finally, a use for the insulated mug freebies they give you at corporate events.
