This week I had the opportunity to dive into a subject I've been very curious about for a long time. In recent years the taboo around psychedelics has shifted and more and more we hear about it in the media. In May of 2019, Denver, Colorado became the first city to decriminalize hallucinogenic mushrooms. However psychedelics such as LSD still remain schedule 1 drugs in the United States, meaning the government has deemed that there is a high potential for abuse and there is no currently accepted medical use in treatment. Which makes Denver's decriminalization that much more significant, as society begins to become more informed on the potential benefits and role psychedelics can have in medicine.  Here to join me as I begin to learn more about this subject is Joe Moore, the co-founder of Psychedelics Today. Psychedelics Today is dedicated to exploring and discussing the important academic/scientific and other research in the field of psychedelics. Joe Moore has spent nearly 20 years studying psychedelics, psychology and western esotericism.  This is such an interesting topic and we had such a great conversation I had to split this interview into two parts. Part 2 will be released next week. Connect with Joe and learn more at www.psychedelicstoday.com Subscribe to the show and follow us on Facebook // Instagram // Twitter // YoutubeRemember to leave us a rating and review if you enjoy the content brought to you every week.
