Wonderful discussion! Another round would be great. Good point about the problems with blanket legalization of psychedelic compounds. Societies that have used them historically have powerful cultural boundaries that prevent the potential problems of misguided overuse. Take heed.

So excited to hear Sam say the Android meditation app will be released within *a month or so*. If we have the app by the end of 2018 I'll consider that a win...

I have to really wonder if the device most fully destructive to being present in the moment can effectively deceive an app that is constructive of being fully present in the moment.

I’ve read many arguments in favor of the use of psychedelics to achieve life changing altered states of mind. But, I haven’t read much about the side effects/health risks (ex: high blood pressure, seizures, etc) associated with their consumption. Can you elaborate on the topic?
-
Generally increased sympathetic nervous & cardiovascular function. Little is known about negative responses due to research restrictions. HPPD has been documented following LSD and synthetic cannabis use. More work needs to be done reading potential negative physiological effects
-
Psychedelics are generally well tolerated in healthy users but substance set & setting are of paramount importance. Responsible psychedelic use involves appropriate screening, monitoring, and integration to reduce problems caused by "adverse" effects.

I enjoyed your podcasts... but unfollowed and stopped being supporter... defending racists like Tommy Robinson is beyond the pale. No worries for you though my 20 euro month will be replaced by Robinson’s racist supporters. Won’t cost you anything from a monetary perspective

You should thread your quotes. You're good at spotting the good ones.
