Summary

There’s a revolution in the way doctors are treating mental health, but the UK could be at risk of falling behind. Dr. Kate Devlin speaks to Dr. Matt Wall, a cognitive neuroscientist at Imperial College London and Invicro, to discuss microdosing, legal red tape and what happens when you give an octopus MDMA. "Drug policy isn’t on the agenda for any of the main UK parties. They just don’t care.” "After the trip wears off, the antidepressant effect can last for days or even months.” “Current legislation makes it incredibly difficult to research psychedelics.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Kate Devlin.
