Discussion of the topics on this podcast is not a substitute for medical advice. Today we are joined by PhD candidate and researcher Sidath Rankaduwa as we explore the concept of consciousness and how psychedelics are playing a role in facilitating his research. Sid is studying at Western University in London Ontario at the Brain and Mind Institute under the tutelage of Dr. Adrian Owen. Listen as we discuss some of the ways that the brain inputs information from the world around us, how that informs our perception of reality and how maybe, just maybe, we can figure our what consciousness is with the help of psychedelic medicine. Keeping in past themes, this conversation was just too good to cap at 1 hour so this will be part 1 of 2. Part 2 will be scheduled to release in a fortnight.

Today's guest on the pod is Spencer Hawkswell CEO of Therapsil, a small non-profit coalition  based in British Columbia dedicated to helping Canadians in medical need access legal, psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy and medical psilocybin. Spencer believes responsible drug policy requires effective organization and leadership dedicated to bringing together the experts and advocates, to facilitate change in the available treatment options for those in need. His team believes that psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy is a reasonable treatment option for palliative patients in end-of-life distress and is working hand in hand with physicians and therapists to support patients in one of the most challenging phases of their life. Plugables:Therapsil - > Therapsil.caSupport the showAs always, if you like what you hear, please leave a review on iTunes.
