In late November 2022, the legendary psychedelic neuroscientist neuroscientist Dr David E. Nichols joined us at the Psychedelic Society to help answer that age old question - “What happens to the brain on psychedelics?” In this short, David was asked about more details of the anti-inflammatory properties of certain psychedelics that had recently been discovered - funnily enough, by his own son - Prof Charles Nichols. The full 2-hour interview with David is available on the Psychedelic Society VOD platform - which is free for members! Membership to the Psychedelic Society helps us host more events, advance advocacy in access for psychedelic medicines in the UK for all (not just the few!), and produce harm reduction resources.
