1/4: Roland Griffiths (1946-2023) was a pioneer in psychedelic research, dedicating his career to studying psilocybin’s therapeutic potential. His work at Johns Hopkins challenged conventional views, showing its ability to treat depression, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety.
We’ve heard it said that psychedelic therapy can be thought of as a subcategory of music therapy. While that might underplay the importance of the medicine, it points to the importance of intentionally selected soundtracks!
“…you’re actually seeing a smaller placebo effect for psychedelics than with antidepressants, which is interesting because typically people are worried that the placebo effects for psychedelics are too high”
I love this town ❤️
1/2: Ahead of his time, Bernardino de Sahagún documented the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of the Nahua peoples—including their use of sacred mushrooms, teonanácatl, the “flesh of the gods.”

Reading this book was my first encounter with the concept of panpsychism—marked a total paradigm shift in the way I’ve come to understand the mind!
This paper does a great job of breaking down how psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin, and DMT impact consciousness, brain connectivity, and serotonin pathways. A must-read for anyone curious about (or needing a refresher course on) the science behind these substances! #Psychedelics #Research
Yeah, incredible overview! Thanks for sharing
This is really cool
Beautiful work!
