Amir Harari – Psychedelics: A Guide for the Undecided

Psychedelic substances are being discussed everywhere, but most of the information comes from one of two extremes: on the one hand, warnings and scare tactics; on the other, promises of healing, transformation, and life-changing experiences.

In this lecture, we will try to step away from both extremes for a moment and ask what science can actually tell us. What are the dangers and the potential? Heaven and hell. What do studies show happens to our brains in the long term? Why yes, why no—and can a single experience really change us forever?

A must-attend lecture for anyone who wants to make some sense of the promises, fears, and what research actually knows.

Amir Harari, a brain and psychedelic researcher and PhD candidate at the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University, studies the relationship between the brain, consciousness, psychedelics, and spirituality. He hosts the podcasts “The Wonders of Reason” and “What the Hell Is Going On Here?”
