Summary

Download What is microdosing? Is this a growing trend in the psychedelic community? What do some people in the psychedelic community think about it? Can it really help boost creativity and productivity? While the idea that microdosing can help with depression, creativity, and productivity, these claims are usually backed by self-reported experiences. There is currently no hard science/research that highlights the risks, safety, or benefits of this concept despite the growing trend and loads of anecdotal evidence. If you want to learn more about this current trend, be sure to get your ticket to the upcoming Psymposia Microdosing event. We are sure all of these questions will be laid out on the table, and it will sure be a great night and discussion! Brian Normand, Co-Founder of Psymposia, joins us again to talk about the Psymposia Microdosing event/Horizons afterparty. The event will be hosted by the one and only, Duncan Trussell. If you have plans to attend the Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics conference in NYC, be sure to check out the afterparty. It is always a great time and also a great place to "find the others."

0:00.0	Welcome back to Psychedelics Today. I'm your host, Joe. Today on the show, Kyle and I talk to Brian, Norman Piveros from Symposia.
0:17.0	And we get to chat about an upcoming event in Brooklyn, a little neighborhood in Brooklyn,
0:23.3	that is part of the Horizons Conference.
0:26.4	So not really part, actually, but it is during the weekend of the Horizons Conference in New York.
0:33.2	And Kyle and I are going to be there.
0:34.4	We're definitely going to join the event.
0:36.7	We bought our tickets a few
0:37.9	days ago and are really excited. So we actually have a discount code for you. Code is Psychedelics
0:44.7	today. I think you save $5 over at symposia.com if you want to buy your tickets now. I would
0:51.1	imagine this event is going to sell out. So if you are planning to go to Horizons,
0:55.0	definitely scoop up this as well. Duncan Trustle is going to be there emceeing discussion around
1:00.6	microdosing with Paul Austin, Sophie Corb, and Catherine McLean. Paul Austin runs the third wave. Sophie

1:12.6	kind of integration work right now in New York City and used to be part of the John Hopkins
1:18.2	research team, I think, doing psilocybin research. So I believe she was a research coordinator.
1:24.1	Don't quote me on that. Sorry, Catherine. I can't wait to see in a few weeks
1:27.5	at Horizons. So it's going to be a really fun event. There are a lot of things left on the table
1:33.7	to discuss around microdosing. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to talk about it.
1:37.8	Science is still young there. So plenty left to actually learn, but plenty to debate and in a
1:43.9	hilarious way because Duncan Trussell is a
1:45.8	hilarious person. And yeah, I'm just ready to laugh. My brain's out. So if you hear this before
1:52.6	September 30, we are doing a donation for every sale of our course. All the proceeds go to Hurricane Relief through Shelter Box USA.
