#3 - Lessons from 50 Years of Prohibition
Richard Miller shares how the foundation of his journey in clinical psychology, led to his interest in psilocybin and eventually led him to become an advisor at Changa. Richard highlights the unique privilege of individuals who are now fully certified facilitators – being some of the first and only in the USA. However, whilst he praises developments in Oregon which have led to Psilocybin Facilitation being possible, Richard emphasizes the need for caution as the field advances, stressing the importance of a rigorous vetting process for facilitators to ensure they possess adequate training and specialization to allow the field to further expand. Finally, Richard discusses his experiences with existentialism and the profound impact of the psychedelic journey, he highlights the importance of mindfulness and its importance in his own work such as in his recovery program, Coke-Enders.
