Scientific Problem Solving with Psychedelics - James Fadiman

[@morninggloryseed]

Such incredible perspective. This guy is clearly in the 2% that actually 'know' how to use psychedelics.

[@TommyLikeTom]

I love this guy: Absolute voice of reason

[@TommyLikeTom]

+james franklin you're saying correlation doesn't infer casualty

"Its not how much you take, its how much you care" - Thats magick baby

[@HueyTheDoctor]

Unbelievable that research so important would be suppressed and discarded. It's great to see that right now we're finally experiencing a resurge in approved scientific research and curiosity surrounding the potential benefits of entheogen use.

[@shadowdragonvx]

Shamans know of "set & setting" as "intention & preparation"; considering both these perspectives gives a better picture of expected effects/results.

[@lucidity910]

We will be so much better off when we integrate psychedelics into our culture.

[@wyldmoonwoman]

Most excellent video. Psychedelic research is necessary...not only can they enhance problems solving, I do believe that we can heal many of the psychological problems in our world by going back to the psychedelic "treatments" ancient and indigenous peoples have used. I think we, as a society, need to understand the power of mind opening science.

[@bazookatooth8094]

Kudos to that one lady in the crowd that laghed at all his joke

[@jonathanrandol794]

Has anyone read either "Tihkal" or "Pihkal" by the great Alexander And Ann Shulgen? If you want to LEARN a thing or two about psychedelics read those two books. You will NOT be disappointed. Enjoy.

[@mirovinji5469]

So basically what he's saying is that psychedelics can, in the right set and setting, facilitate novel/non-ordinary states of consciousness that have interesting properties or qualities to them, such as high levels of creativity and insight.

[@deplorableamerican9451]

Miro Vinji Setting doesn't matter at all for the basic effects. You can have a horrible set and setting, but be just a introspective, insightful, and creativity.

[@poleag]

Bad Gift, I have no doubt that you can learn a lot and have success even with a less than ideal set and setting, but if you spend the majority of your trip in some sort of hellscape running away from evil spirits, then you may not have as much success with problem solving.

[@AbhishekKumar-et4vk]

Free knowledge-you have a bad trip if you are deeply absorbed in a negative thought about own life.

[@b00gyman1]

Even so chances are after that bad trip to start thinking about life differently, so in that sense there is no bad trips

[@666katch]

Ayahuasca can heal addictions. We can learn so much good from psychedelic!

[@roblovegreen]

What a exciting time we are living in. A time when we as a society is moving towards being open minded about the therapeutic effects of substances like cannabis, MDMA, LSD and psilocybin. Let the science show the upside and downside of these substances in a honest way instead of bias based on religion or other beliefs. In search of the truth in regards to this. As these substances are studied more and the proven facts come out to the public, then hopefully people will be able to decide for themselves whether or not to use them without fear of prosecution.

[@PopSquadAnimation]

Wonderful! Very interesting and informative while being very clinical and scientific.

[@Loddfafnisodr]

I'm sorry if I was being too overcritical, I know that this research will lay the scientific groundwork for many future studies & psychonauts to come, right now I'm just worried that it's progressing too slowly, and soon, it might be too late.

[@mapsmdma]

Prominent psychedelic researcher James Fadiman, Ph.D., explains how his research examined the potential of using psychedelics as an adjunct to scientific problem solving.

[@DarkMoonDroid]

Outstanding. I'm not enthused about the criteria for being a test subject, however. Gettin' pretty tired of only successful bizniss people being considered valid for anything. Jesus. When has that ever been real? I'm also thinking about the Tarahumara Indians in South America who live at the Top of the World and have told us we're ruining the World. The irrigation and traveling path systems they have built must have been inspired in this way. They are amazing. There are many other examples. Such as those bridges that cross deep canyons made out of vines that only get stronger with time. Holy crap, do we have alot to learn.

[@kennybentley1161]

really enjoyed this presentation! thanks!

[@TheEleventeen]

Thank you for this wonderful video !

[@MrJCKB]

Is there an article about theme?

[@ThetennisDr]

I wonder how many of us are.waking up? And having good positive experiences with drugs that have been demonized made illegal obscured and hidden. For example i been involved in this world for 21 years my first of many experiences was mushrooms. It is to my surprise that Albert Hoffman created 4 ACO DMT which i never have had heard of and i just learned about it this week! Please be respectful with yourself and.each other.

[@jamesobanion5114]

Anyone catch him say "I'm not in control of my life or this" at 38:20? What was that about? He didn't catch the question being asked in that moment either.

[@stacknsat]

He showed a sense of humor throughout ....i think he was being sarcastic/serious. I.e he cant control a car from running a red light and hitting him

[@sieberozendal1627]

That was odd! Yeah, the answer was not reacting to microdosing at all. Maybe he just thought of some additional things he wanted to say about guides in addition to what he said before. Maybe he noticed he didn't really answer the question, wanted to remark on that, but got distracted by the new question being asked so some sentences got mashed together resulting in a garbled sentence. Still, this does not feel like a satisfying hypothesis..

[@sbo6477]

James O'Banion to me it sounded as if he implies someone else is selecting questions for him, or something like that

[@RusticRaver]

''unethical not to be doing psychedelics'', first time I hear anyone admit that!

[@RusticRaver]

about time!

[@jpsalova]

If you're talking about 21:08, the exact quote is about psychedelic research. There's some degree of difference...

[@ThetennisDr]

@@jpsalova i understand you lots of lost stupid people out there.disrespecting an important drug not be taken lightly, on the opposite is to be taken as serious as going to the doctor or to school. Same.

[@Badboyifier]

thats a beautiful way to put it to make ourselves think about it, without judging first

[@shimblypibbins]

Does anyone have the video link to the video that James is talking about at around 31 minutes ? (the video he describes is of a man who studied anatomy then using ayahuasca to help learn "the invisible anatomy"). Thanks.

[@geoffreynhill2833]

Any relation to Clifton? (Good bloke)

[@Loddfafnisodr]

Check out the Psychedelic Salon website and listen to the latest podcasts, especially by Terence McKenna. The synchronicity there is quite amazing for anyone willing to unfold it.

[@capnjasbo]

Ditto! Can you reply to this comment so I get a notification when the video is up? Thanks.

[@theseance6436]

Could anybody walk me through how to prepare a micro dose of lsd. Either with tabs or with liquid. And the precautions i should take. I am very very very experienced with psychedelics but have never tried this method.

[@davyroger3773]

When does he mention that he gave participants in the mescaline group methamphetamine as a booster

[@markohps43]

Beautiful thank you

[@shimblypibbins]

Thank you kindly.

[@AbhishekKumar-et4vk]

Psychedelic s give problem solving ability, it's shame that these drugs are illegal

[@Booogieman]

Good humor!

[@alext6081]

Amen

[@billvella3642]

#WakeUpInDaMorning1 Ditto! Can you reply to this comment so I get a notification when the video is up? Thanks. @Psychonoia You really should check out this websitewww.heart2cross.com

[@azpect5911]

DMT IS MY DNA.......

[@grim-x7u]

7:17 ok

[@slackdave]

What?! Did Burning man rise out of Silicon Valley? Can someone please explain ..!

[@RusticRaver]

2c-i possibly the most stressfull minutes of my entire life, perhaps because of 2x dose, will never take again!

[@stacknsat]

@@RusticRaver damn can you explain a little more of your experience

[@tomtricker792]

Great talk but this guy reminds me a lot of the BTK killer

[@maxschmid1507]

On the other hand, I believe that psychodelics would be abused by many people like any other drug if it became legal.

[@sds9781]

Like alcohol

[@iammadeinthecreatorsimage.8295]

@Max Schmid The thing about 🍄 psilocybin is that it will tell you that "we are done." I know just from reading your comment you have never done psilocybin. It's not addictive like alcohol or nicotine.

[@shiva1742]

What is he doing with his right hand? It's very distracting.

[@Lantzen89]

It's called hand gestures, it's a part of body language. If you didn't know it, you convey more information by using your body in different ways while talking.
