Quote:Rick Doblin founded MAPS (the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) in 1986 with the goal of making MDMA an FDA approved medicine and hasn't looked back since. Today the organisation is involved in studying the uses of LSD, Ayahuasca, Ibogaine and Marijuana in such treatments as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and end of life issues. Armed with a Ph.D from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government Rick can talk your ear off about policy but he'll just as easily tell you about his 17 hour trip on LSD in a floatation tank that changed his life. And that's what I love about Rick, he walks the walk AND talks the talk. There are some amazing global figures who are outspoken about the positive use of psychedelics but as an organisation MAPS is unrivalled in putting in the hard work to enact real policy change both in the USA and Europe. Please join me in supporting them in any way we possibly can. http://www.maps.org "..undisturbed by order, chaos creates balance. it is not the artifical balance of scales and weights, but the lively, ever-changing balance of a wild and beautiful dance. it is wonderful; it is magickal. it is beyond any definition, and every attempt to describe it can only be a metaphor that never comes near to its true beauty or erotic energy."
"the angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. between the two remains the son of man to struggle."

I watched most of this last night it was an excellent interview Rick Doblin is one fine upstanding human being with great ideas and the courage of his convictions. The work he has put in to get psychedelic research this far is phenomenal.
