单集文稿 ...

  You know, I've dabbled in the world of psychedelics a little BiT.

• 00:05

  Okay.

• 00:06

  I've taken mushrooms a few times, maybe five, maybe five times.

• 00:11

  And luckily all my experiences have been really good.

• 00:18

  I've taken mushrooms a few times at a party, which I've enjoyed a lot because every time I've taken mushrooms at a party, I've weirdly just felt sharper and I felt like a clearer view of the room socially.

• 00:37

  It's been fascinating and interesting to analyze everyone in a psychedelic way.

• 00:44

  I feel like I can read the room more accurately Than I ever have before.

• 00:50

  I feel like I'm seeing clearly for the first time and my opinions on people sort of change and become weirdly more accurate on mushrooms.

• 01:02

  So that's been my party mushroom experience.

• 01:05

  I've dabbled in psychedelics, but I really don't know a lot.

• 01:10

  And I think it's becoming an increasingly more relevant topic as it's being revealed that it can help with mental health issues.

• 01:23

  It has therapeutic qualities.

• 01:27

  And so I'm curious about this.

• 01:29

  I don't know a lot about it, so I'm going to be interrogating Robin Carhart Harris today, a pioneer and leading researcher in human neuroscience in psychopharmacology.

• 01:41

  And he's best known for his groundbreaking work, how psychedelics affect the brain and how they can be used to treat mental health issues.

• 01:50

  In 2019, he founded the world's first center for psychedelic research at Imperial College London, and there he oversaw human brain imaging studies with LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and DMT.

• 02:03

  Robin has also overseen several clinical trials of psilocybin therapy for disorders including depression, anorexia and fibromyalgia.

• 02:11

  Basically, he is all about using psychedelics to help human suffering improve the quality of people's lives through psychedelics.

• 02:25

  And, you know, I think a lot of us think of psychedelics and we think of, I don't know, doing shrooms with friends and painting and painting or I doing shrooms at a music festival or doing LSD at a rave or whatever.

• 02:43

  Like, we think of psychedelics as being something that is very much recreational and also illegal.
