Confessions of the Psychedelic Elders

Golden State Network

20 Episodes

An 82-year-old clinical psychologist, renowned for his experience treating chemical dependence, blasts opens the doors of perception in a new live podcast series – spotlighting unfiltered confessions of distinguished elders regarding their past sub rosa use of psychedelics.
The renaissance in psychedelic research is well underway, as documented in Dr. Richard L. Miller’s previous book Psychedelic Medicine. Now, we are on the verge of another tipping point in the public’s curiosity and desire to both speak openly and learn about the once-taboo subject of psychedelics.

Confessions of the Psychedelic Elders is a first-of-its-kind podcast, with household names and prominent professionals coming out of the chemical closet to share how their lives and careers were shaped by mind-altering substances.

Interviewees include prominent professors and psychologists, best-selling authors and journalists, as well as artists and cultural influencers. We hear from a licensed psychotherapist on how tripping on MDMA has enhanced intimacy with his wife. Top syndicated radio host and television personality Dean Edell shares how LSD broadened his horizons and led him to his true passion of communicating scientific information. We also learn about the initial period of psychedelic (re)discovery in the 1950s and 60s, and how pioneering psychonauts navigated the perils and pitfalls of illegal distribution and consumption of forbidden compounds.
