Ep. 80: Psychedelic Spring Cleaning

Weirds of a Feather

Break out the 3D dolphin posters and crank up the Pink Floyd, baby, because things are about to get trippy and it’s important to set the tone.

This episode Grace is taking you down the k-hole of psychedelic research. She’s exploring the benefits of ketamine and psilocybin treatment, how hallucinogens work to create new thought patterns in the brain, what the future of psychedelic therapy might hold for people with treatment-resistant disorders, how much kids love ketamine, and more.

Plus, Kristin suffers from little sister syndrome and embarks on a new chicken adventure, Grace has a phrogger in the attic and possibly ghosts, and we both share embarrassing ADHD moments and sneaky Pizza Secrets among friends.
