A few words about the protests/encampments at Columbia:

Back in December 2018, when I was a junior, a white student named Julian Von Abele was filmed going on an ethno-centric rant about how much he loved white people. He said things like: “White people are the best thing that

The Post Millennial This is like financing a waterbed, failing to make payments, and then asking the repo crew to bring you food and water

Lord of the Flies. US universities have failed. For institutional cowardice & virtue signalling they routinely let hateful & unprincipled mobs of children take charge at all levels. I've seen plenty. Bless this young man. Here he is being a role model who gives hope.

Are you a psychedelic guide or therapist? Please consider participating in our survey for psychedelic therapists and guides. We'd very much appreciate if you would repost widely and especially spread to relevant communities of psychedelic guides/therapists

Outstanding technique for engaging with a linebacker and moving him out of the way to open up a hole for your running back. Lift him off his feet if he tries to slip away

A very principled and thoughtful stance in psychedelic therapy.

Matthew W. Johnson Lex Fridman We're working on a series of conversations centered around #HPPD with Ed Prideaux, a writer and psychedelic researcher. You can watch a brief clip here x.com/SOCIETAL_MEDIA… and follow us for more on this topic.

Excellent description of HPPD from psychedelics, as experienced by the fascinating journalist Andrew Callaghan, interviewed by Lex Fridman . We will no doubt see HPPD cases with medical psychedelics. Likely rare but a real risk. It needs more attention. youtu.be/DwE52PDPfEE?fe…

Good for Cornell! Universities need to finally grow some guts & protect diversity of thought & the principles of a liberal, tolerant society. Don't give in to mobs who threaten violence or disrupt the rights of others to assemble & communicate. Enough with the intolerance!

Looking forward to presenting on the psychedelic medicine paradigm this Friday at the Center for Neuroscience & Behavior at American University, along with several great colleagues. Looks like virtual attendance is an option.

There is negligible recreational use of these compounds or public health harm. It's important that we not overly restrict these research tools. A schedule 1 license is a very high bar. Unnecessary scheduling of DOI & DOC will stall serotonin research & mental health research.

I wonder if there will be challenges to patenting the ability to communicate with extra-dimensional entities with psychedelics. Is there prior art that is being ignored with all the DMT accounts? But I have to say, it's an absolutely perfect day for making such an announcement.

Was great to present with Franklin King MD & other expert colleagues for the MA legislature on psychedelics. One of the most important roles for a scientist. Done so for NJ, VA, MD & Capitil Hill over the years. Glad the paper inspired a talented scientist & clinician. I'm lucky.

Please spread the word & participate. This is a very creative collaboration among scientists & journalists addressing important questions about your experience of media regarding psychedelics.

Matthew W. Johnson Have you used psilocybin/ magic mushrooms before? Volunteers wanted for a 10-minute online study: Motives for using psilocybin/magic mushrooms and self-identity. To participate please use the below link: livpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b4…

Great news! The MEQ and CEQ are relatively long questionnaires. These new shorter versions make space in psychometric batteries for scales that focus on other important aspects of study participants' experiences.
