Mark Haden will explore the history and current research and possible future regulation of psychedelics. He will begin with an overview of indigenous history then explore the history in Canada and why psychedelics were criminalized.
Mark Haden is the executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Canada as well as an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia School of Public and Population Health.
Could psychedelics help us heal from trauma and mental illnesses? Researcher Rick Doblin has spent the past three decades investigating this question, and the results are promising.
New research using psychedelic drugs to understand the brain could lead to new treatments for mental disorders such as depression.
Psychedelics afford a unique opportunity to expand our understanding of consciousness and its altered states, to develop techniques for enhancing consciousness, and to uncover new avenues of treatment and improved therapeutic techniques.
Plenary and opening welcome to Psychedelic Science 2017 - Rick Doblin, PhD, Amanda Feilding, and Beatriz Labate, PhD.
