Thanks for this podcast Hannah! I gained a lot of insight from it, even though I was generally informed of the basics. I can confirm your description of the effects of psilocybin and greatly appreciate your description of ego centred rumination. It clarified and confirmed my empirical, untrained conclusions.

I was alerted to you via and exchange you had with Janice Fiamengo, who I have read and listened to for many years now.

I will listen to more!

Hi Jim, thank you! And I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed the exchange as well, anything we can do to move the needle is worthwhile work!

Thank you, Hannah, for taking this on. It's important for people to learn more about these substances. For clarification, mescaline is found in peyote, not LSD, which is derived from the fungus ergot. I recommend researching and reaching out to Stanislav Grof, who has conducted extensive LSD-assisted psychotherapy sessions. Additionally, consider contacting Rick Strassman, who, to my knowledge, was the first and last to conduct an intravenous DMT study.

Absolutely, my mistake thank you for the correction. I’m glad you enjoyed the episode! And I’ll definitely take a look at those names!
