On whose backs is the current psychedelic "renaissance" being built? How can we honor those who kept the flame alive in the dark and sacrificed to set the stage for this future we are living? Reflections from Day 2 of Discovery Sessions. thepsychedelicprofessor.com/post/sketches-…

Please watch and share our PSA on psychedelic risks and adverse events. It is important to have an evidence-based perspective on the risk/benefit profile of psychedelics: youtube.com/watch?v=xUS2I8…

Those of us studying psychedelics will need to be comfortable with uncertainty for a while yet, I think. Here are a few quick reflections from Day 1 of last week's conference. thepsychedelicprofessor.com/post/sketches-…

Sending people to prison just for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit. It’s time that we right these wrongs.

@RichardCShama @drdluke Got it! Thanks for clarifying. Super interesting questions, Richard.

@drdluke @joelle8 I really want to know what we all actually feel the uses are of the different psychedelics especially when we are healthy. I.e. Salvia vs Iboga vs Psilocybes vs Mescalines. For instance sure iboga is useful for ptsd or addiction but indigenously do either of these apply to Bwiti?

@Carrie_Etter It's a good place to be. Though I'm spending almost as much time in the Bay Area these days!

@joelle8 Thank you! You always remind me of my wonderful years in Santa Monica and desire to return!

@RichardCShama @drdluke Wait...what's ironic about this?

@drdluke Possibly via using psychedelics #irony

First loves...it's difficult to ever truly get over them. That's why I'm studying transpersonal psychology, altered states of consciousness, and psychedelics these days. The psychedelic professor comes home...thepsychedelicprofessor.com/post/an-evolut…

@royesal @RCarhartHarris Following!

@RCarhartHarris Preprint coming soon

What cases exist in published literature where people claim to have had their lives saved through psychedelic use?

Of course those working in higher education experience burnout: it's a sabotage! Thoughts on the culture of higher education and faculty wellness: thepsychedelicprofessor.com/post/faculty-w…

I'm updating my framework for a "conscious education" approach to faculty development and wellbeing. I think it needs more acknowledgement of context and culture. You're not crazy for feeling crazy in a crazy situation...more soon on the blog!

@tipado And yet...sometimes they are...why policing others' trip experiences?

Psychedelic visual trips are not mandalas, chakras, and lotus positions. That's just Western culture's obsession with Eastern philosophy. No one else to blame but your dude Alan Watts

Faculty friends: are you starting the new academic year already tired? You might be suffering from burnout. Today I write about the problem that I hope to address with my work on "conscious education": thepsychedelicprofessor.com/post/understan…

A new school year is upon us in higher education. How do you want to feel at the end of it? Set your intentions (and share them for extra magic). thepsychedelicprofessor.com/post/intention… #AcademicTwitter
