Navigating Psychedelics   Show Notes About Joost  Joost is a part of the OPEN Foundation ICPR is a huge conference  Nobody before was doing research on psychedelics in the Netherlands   William James work sparked Joost’s interest in psychedelics  ICPR  Starting with the OPEN Foundation, the conference has been very scientific  It is interdisciplinary, but also taken very seriously This field is so broad, you could really never get bored   Wade Davis, Alicia Danforth, Matt Johnson and more will be speaking at the conference There will be over 80 speakers Joost expects it to be a pretty international conference, half local, and half from abroad Psychiatrists are usually short on time, and they like things compressed more It's really easy and cheap to grow psilocybin as mushrooms or truffles  Even in Mexico, they need to use GMP Psilocybin    Accessibility  “If this is going to be the treatment, how are we going to help people afford it?” - Joe There is some tricky stuff happening, companies trying to patent different parts of psilocybin to use it for therapeutic use Ketamine has been off patent for years, but you can develop a new route of administration, patent that, and make a ton of money Spravato is making it to the UK  Conference Themes  Joost is both excited and scared that they are bringing indigenous practitioners to the conference  It's important to acknowledge the indigenous, ethical, and political dimensions to psychedelic use Talking about concepts and approaches to healing is going to be an important aspect The goal would be to do research with the indigenous communities to be able to address the needs of psychedelic use   There are also a few neuroimaging people coming For mainstream scientists, the conference has to be as close to a scientific conference as possible, they may be turned off to the cultural aspects of psychedelics  It's the conservative nature of psychedelia   Joost also says that although the scientific research is important, it is really cool to hear the personal experiences  Joe brings up a previous episode of a therapist and patient from the MDMA trials Stories are much more convincing than just data   People’s experience with psychedelics may be completely different from each other  It's important to share the bad stories with the good stories If we don't share the stories and data and research, then we can never learn   Joe hopes that there will be a growth of citizen science in the near future  Links ICPR  About Joost  Joost Breeksema is a part of the OPEN Foundation, which from it came the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research. His current research focuses on the experiences of patients that are undergoing therapy assisted by psychedelic substances.
