Spirituality & Psychedelics with Rick Doblin

Rick Doblin, Ph.D. has been working at the intersection of psychedelics, politics & spirituality for more than 30 years. His programs have been so successful they’re now in phase three trials with the FDA, the governing body that approves medication (legalization).
In this conversation, Marianne and Rick discuss the role psychedelics can play in spiritual experiences, the transformative power of the substances when used safely and under the watchful eye of a medical professional, and the surprising supporters MAPS has on both ends of the political spectrum.

I so appreciate this episode. A psychedelic advocate and MAPS supporter, plus my appreciation for Marianne, this episode speaks to my heart and humanity. Psychedelics helped me free myself from a 40+ year trauma prison inside my body and mind. Humans need so much love, compassion, and support to resolve the traumas they have experienced. NOW is the time. This planet needs us to heal, to come together in love.

Wow! She looks so illuminating in her lilac jacket! Could well that her aura is violet and white. She is a visionary with a humble heart. It's so incredible that she has this gift to bridge spirituality, health, politics and community.

RN here. I've been following the modern research into psychedelics for thr last 15 years. Research thus far has led many in the medical community to believe that they're the future of hospice, chronic pain, and psychological treatments. I've only used psychedelics once as a teenager and I had a poor experience. It must be said, as a long term meditator, I've had many consciousness expanding experiences that psychedelic users have chronicled. Thanks for this interview Marrianne.

Marianne, you are a leader on the leading edge. This was really good.

Psychedelics are a fast track way toward insight.What we need is networked cooperatives that will allow consciousness growth.

Job well done Marianne! Completely enjoyed this Conversation, as we enter a very important time in humanity as you have continued to bring to the foreground. My wife Fran, and I, enjoyed meeting you in DC, and as a preventative cardiologist,I consider these conversation essential for healing the collective heart. I will be merging these concepts into my Passover Seder in a few weeks. Would love to have you join us. :-)

Just want to say Marianne- you're incredible. Thank you.

Thank you Marianne. Rick is so clear headed and focused. The light is coming.

I've realized through studying the neuroscience of psychedelic effects how important it is we all start communicating with each other. This default mode network of division is not working for us.

Psychedelics literally helped me change my life. They are a gift bestowed on us to raise our vibration and consciousness and they do wonders for mental health

Been aware of Maps for decades. Good stuff.

[@lafuerza113]

Great interview. Thank you for educating us on this important subject.

I love listening to you. You are an example of feminine rising.

[@MeRia035]

Thank you for broaching this subject! I'm sure I will have more to say

[@johnmelton3676]

Really enjoyed this one, your just a gorgous woman, can't keep from it

[@erak4342]

If you can love kittens and puppies, then its possible to extend it to other things, you just have to get your own mind out of your way. Im happy to see others responding to their deeper calling!

[@barbarajohnson1442]

Wonderful discussion. I am still trying to "digest" Mercer's funding this research, gives me great pause....thinking about what might be their " interests".... Many thanks!

[@brendaholiday2634]

We are missing the ceremonial aspects still. So many of these healing plants are FREE from the Creator. It goes back to the loss of Eros and we still try to REGULATE Mother Nature Herself. This is a wrong approach and attitude. B/c who then has control over them and to administer them, when they are here for us all?

[@anjaliamykracequinnroll]

Love You this our Tribe 💪💙

I contacted the MAPS program years ago to be part of the psilocybin for smoking cessation. Had to be a resident to participate. 😢

My son’s father is a fundamentalist Christian to extreme. He is so sure his beliefs are THE only correct ones, he does not want to find common ground. My concern is that the people who could benefit humanity most by using psychedelics won’t do them. (I have used them and am open in so many ways because of it.) He and his church friends are not open to change. I think they will be the challenge.

[@user-bd4bo4tb8u]

After I wrote this, you discussed it. Thank you.

[@anwiyayoukhanna]

Hey Marianne, what's your game now, can anybody play?

[@saucyjk6453]

The license idea is sketchy. I have extensive experience. Would I have to pass some lab test to then be allowed? Sounds like the creation of another industry. And keep your eye on Dobin being a benefactor.

[@creatingheavenhobovlog3746]

Do you believe in me?

We know it's not new.. lol.
