EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS WITH DR. PARTH GANDHI:

* [04:36] What is a psychedelic, and why should I care? Psychedelics allow for a safe exploration of the mind to promote healing and creativity.
* [09:53] Breakthrough Therapies. New therapy options use psychedelics to break barriers of PTSD and other mental illnesses.
* [14:34] Which psychedelic is being used currently? Ketamine has multiple uses, from anesthesia to anti-suicide.
* [17:51] The science behind the creativity on a psychedelic. Our brains act in a teeter-totter of depression and anxiety. Psychedelics help bring a balance.
* [25:33] Psychedelics are meaning-making drugs. Creating a “safety setting” can bring you meaning and heart opening experiences.
* [30:58] Psychedelics, politics, and pharmacies. Ketamine has been used frequently, but who will mass produce the other psychedelics when they become available?
