YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode I discuss medical research on psychedelic compounds with Dr. Matthew Johnson, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. We explore the biology and medical clinical trial uses of psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, DMT and LSD.
Dr. Johnson shares what the clinical trials in his lab reveal about the potential these compounds hold for treating depression, addiction, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD and other disorders of the mind. He describes a typical psychedelic experiment in his laboratory from start to finish, including the conditions that support optimal clinical outcomes. He also outlines potential hazards along with common misconceptions and pitfalls related to psychedelic medicine.
Dr. Johnson explains flashbacks, the heightened risks certain people and age groups face when using psychedelics, and the ever-evolving legal and pharmaceutical landscape surrounding these substances. He discusses how the scientific study of psychedelics is likely to shape the future trajectory of psychiatric medicine.
As one of a small handful of researchers who have pioneered the clinical study of these powerful compounds, Dr. Johnson offers unprecedented insight into how they can be woven into other psychiatric treatments, changing one’s sense of self and reality.
