• Resumen

  • Lawton discusses on how psychedelic drugs promise excellent treatments for ailments of the psyche according from Robin Carhart-Harris, head of psychedelic research at Imperial College London's Centre for Neuropsychopharmacology. Carhart-Harris is rapidly becoming the poster boy for the long-awaited, and often proclaimed, psychedelic renaissance as scientist who started testing LSD and similar drugs as treatments for mental conditions. Among other things, Carhart-Harris and his colleagues sit with the trial participants as they go through psychedelic therapy, and interview them extensively afterwards, of which listening to somebody who is on a high dose of psilocybin can itself be a transformative experience.
