Psychedelics for Everyone? From Octopuses to New Moms

There’s a lot of hope, a lot of hype and a lot of marketing in the world of psychedelics these days. Whether you’re an infrequent flier or an experienced traveler, how much do you really know about how to use these powerful molecules for more health, more healing, or more fun?

Join Sarah Rose Siskind, psychedelic comedian and founder of the STEM entertainment consulting group, Hello SciCom and Joe Dolce, author of MODERN PSYCHEDELICS, THE HANDBOOK OF MINDFUL EXPLORATION, in an enlightening and enlivening conversation that tackles these and other riveting questions:

• What can octopuses on ecstasy teach us about the human brain and consciousness itself?
• How much MDMA is too much?
• Can you really have good sex on ketamine?
• Can you safely use psychedelics for postpartum depression?
• Ibogaine is called the rockstar of psychedelics, but why would anyone willingly do a 76-hour journey?
• What can go wrong on that ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian jungle?
• How can you be sure that the native shaman leading that ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian Amazon is really a shaman and not some huckster parading as a shaman?

Doors open at 7:00 and the event will begin at 7:15, please arrive on time.

Joe Dolce is a journalist and the former editor-in-chief of Details magazine.
