Dr. Matthew Johnson is a Professor of Psychedelics and Consciousness at the Johns Hopkins Center For Psychedelics and Consciousness research.
Matthew has spearheaded a number of ground-breaking psychedelic medicine studies including, psilocybin-assisted end-of-life therapy, and psilocybin-assisted smoking cessation. His latest project explores how psilocybin impacts the spiritual lives of religious leaders.
In this mind meld we riff on the future of psychedelic medicine, the nature of consciousness, free will, how psychedelics (might) work neurologically, the science of heroic doses, and more.
