The Government Has Lied to You About Psychedelics! Science and Benefits of Hallucinogenic Drugs - Professor David Nutt

“The last 55 years of banning psychedelics is the worst censorship of research in the history of the world.” -Professor David Nutt

Professor David Nutt is THE go-to expert on psychedelics. His charity Drug Science is on a mission to break the stigma around hallucinogenic drugs, and inform the public on the real science behind their effects.

In this episode I ask David how drugs like magic mushrooms, MDMA, cannabis and Ketamine are able to treat brain disorders, like depression, so effectively - and why we’ve been led to fear these drugs.

Stay tuned to find out:

  • The truth about why psychedelics were banned in the first place
  • How safe these drugs are in both a medical and recreational setting
  • Whether human evolution was driven, in-part, by psilocybin mushrooms
  • About the most recent science and trials
  • Myths and misinformation surrounding their use
  • How soon we might see the legalisation of psychedelics
