PsychedelicsASL

Psychedelics are one of the most mysterious compounds. Still today, we have plenty of questions to answer. However, we got a step closer to understanding them with the recent study published by the University of Maastricht and the team of Zeus Tipado, Kim P.C. Kuypers, Bettina Sorger, and Johannes G. Ramaekers, who brought to light a new theory that psychedelic induced hallucinations might generate in the retinofugal pathway.

Join us to uncover this hypothesis and understand the mysterious world of psychedelics.

Without a doubt, one of the first things that comes to our minds🧠 when thinking about psych*delics is the distortion of our vision, followed by visual and auditory hallucinations. To most, these hallucinations are mere imagery or part of our hallucinations generated by our brain, but how would someone with an artistic vein perceive such changes in their sensory and neural sites?

To understand more how these compounds may influence and inspire someone’s art, we spoke to EDM music producer Sylocin🍄

Society often misunderstands what drugs are. We all have a family member or a friend who says they are against drugs, but they consume alcohol, coffee, or smoke. 

Likewise, the community blurred the narrow line between what is psychedelic or simply psychoactive. We have constant arguments on whether MDMA, Cannabis, or Ketamine might be psychedelic or not. 
To some, the compounds become psychedelics based on the dosages. To others, the compounds fall into more scientific terminologies.

Join us to learn about the various classes of psychoactive compounds and how they affect our daily lives.

Last week, Australia just made history by making the first MDMA prescription. Dr. Ted Cassidy decided to prescribe MDMA to his patient, a female suffering from chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD.

Dr. Cassidy claims that one session of MDMA was equivalent to one year of treatment.

Join us to understand how MDMA can help treat mental illness, the previous history of MDMA psychotherapy, the influence of the Shulgins on various psychotherapists, and various other studies done in the era!

Have you ever wondered who on earth invented chemistry?
You might have answered Antoine Lavoisier in your mind, but what concepts existed before those who invented modern chemistry, and what are the primordials of what we now call chemistry?

To understand this, we dive into Ancient civilizations known for the origins of Alchemy, Mathematics, Geometry, and Medicine. We uncover the Hermetic philosophies and doctrines behind these civilizations, the reigning question of who was Hermes Trismegistus, and the origins of alchemy.
