Michael Pollan’s 2018 book caused interest to explode. How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us about Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence pushed psychedelics mainstream. Reading it inspired many people to look for information about psychedelic therapy and opportunities to become guides or therapists. Providers are seeking training to become more informed about psychedelic experiences. They also want to know how to become certified to administer psychedelics in clinical trials and potentially become a licensed psychedelic therapist. In this presentation we will learn about how psychedelic assisted therapy is going to look like. We will focus on the legality and ethics.
