In this episode Truth talks with Manesh Girn – The Psychedelic Scientist!   The two discuss the therapeutic applications of psychedelics (namely mushrooms / psilocybin, DMT, LSD), as well as an overview of past and present clinical research that has been conducted on them.  Manesh is currently a PhD student in Neuroscience at McGill University and has been lead or co-author on over a dozen scientific publications and book chapters on topics including psychedelics, meditation, daydreaming, and the default-mode network. He currently has ongoing collaborations with leaders in the field of psychedelic neuroscience, including Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris from the Imperial College London Center for Psychedelic Research. In his free time, he also runs a YouTube channel called The Psychedelic Scientist - where he discusses the latest findings in psychedelic science in an easy to understand, but non-superficial, form.
