Part 3.

Rick Doblin, Ph.D., Founder and Executive Director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), answers questions submitted by the Reddit community about MAPS' work to establish legal contexts for the therapeutic use of psychedelics and marijuana. Here, Dr. Doblin discusses the science and politics of psychedelic research; the current state of MAPS' research to make psychedelics into FDA-approved prescription medicines; the potential of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of PTSD; and the role of spirituality in psychedelic healing. He also discusses how you can help make sure that psychedelic medicine continues to move out of the shadows and back into the light.
