From Healing to Hacking: The New Landscape of Psychedelics

When it comes to psychedelics -- MDMA, LSD, magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, 5 MEO-DMT, and ketamine, there’s a flood of information swirling around the internet, some of it good, lots of it suspect, most of it marketing. This conversation draws together contemporary science, ancient wisdom and hippie lore to cut through the hype and guide people to use these medicines in ways that maximize benefits and minimize risks. This plus a very special appearance by the incredible Gul Dolen, the neuroscientist who gave octopuses ecstasy and is revolutionizing how we think about and use psychedelics going forward!

Joe Dolce is a journalist and the former editor-in-chief ofDetails magazine. He is also the author ofBrave New W**d: Adventures into the Uncharted World of Cannabis and CEO of Joe Dolce Communications, one of the premier presentation and media training companies in New York City. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

His new book Modern Psychedelics is a judgment-free handbook that compiles contemporary research and ancient knowledge to guide adult readers who are interested in the mindful exploration of these misunderstood, extraordinary, powerful substances.

The book will be available for sale (in advance and onsite)
