- Dr. Benjamin Malcolm discusses psychedelic alkaloids that have potential to treat
addictions.
- When conducting human subjects research, it's a good idea to at least
run it past an IRB.

- For people age 18-24, opiates are a major cause of death.
- Holistic House teaches addicts heath habits for treatment.
- Ibogaine is still an unregulated area.
- 2CB haven't had that many research studies.
- Surveys tend to have a bit of bias, often given to supportive subjects to begin with.
- Mescaline, San Pedro, and peyote appears to lack research.
- There is going to be a need to potentially or switch between traditional therapeutic
modalities and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies.
