In this episode, we’re bringing you the second half of our
conversation with Dr. Pamela Kryskow.
A co-leader of the largest study on microdosing, she shares
what researchers are beginning to understand about how psychedelic
plants could treat conditions ranging from Parkinson’s disease and
chronic pain to existential distress. But, with so much
potential for these plant medicines, there’s also the potential for
misuse and misinformation. We delve into some of the ways
psychedelics could be ethically integrated into patient care, and,
what the hospital of the future might look like.
