The ReSPCT Guidelines on set and setting in psychedelic research are published today in a Nature article.

I was an expert contributor, and you may find them thought provoking or useful!

Do people not realise that their "Invitation to step back from your busy life" email is just another email I have to field before I can get to making my life less busy? 😝

I asked ChatGPT if anyone was researching ayahuasca from a particular perspective, that I’d just thought of.

ChatGPT searched the web and decided the person closest to researching that is…

…me.

Oh, so you beat a game on EASY and you think you're a real gamer?? Well...

You are! And I hope you had fun doing it!

All I know is that we should always celebrate gamers who play on easy or story mode just as much as those who play on hard.

It's supposed to be FUN. Do it however you like. 😊
