Memorable Quotes:
"If you believe that this sort of consciousness change is really important, it's something to recognize that psychedelics have been used for thousands of years â and even when they've been massively suppressed, they've never been able to be eliminated. There's something about psychedelics and human beings where some fraction of human beings will seek them out and will find benefits." [00:42:58] â Rick Doblin
"I think it's about really this multiplicity of catalysts and the responsibility that we have as humans in this particular time of humanity is to really up our game and to think of ourselves collectively. We see what's happening with global warming â we see what's happening with nuclear weapons â we see what's happening with all sorts of concerns. And we need to figure out how to think as a collective, as humanity as a whole, instead of as my individual race, religion, nationality, socioeconomic status. And I think psychedelics and other things can help us with that." [00:51:03] â Rick Doblin
