Psychedelics in Research & Practice | James W. Jesso ~ ATTMind Podcast 200 James Jesso presents the current research on psychedelics, including Psilocybin, DMT, MDMA, Ketamine, and Ibogaine.

This is the FIRST time I have done something like this and I am both excited and anxious about how it will be received.

In celebration of Adventures Through The Mind ep 200, instead of an interview, I recorded a straight-talk lecture on #psychedelics. Enjoy!
