Hello, everybody. Welcome back to psychedelics today. This is Joe Moore coming at you from

Breckenridge, Colorado. Today on the show, we have Matt Johnson of Johns Hopkins.

One of the more famous folks we've had on the show in a while and really excited.

Kyle and I had the opportunity to interview Matt maybe just a week or two ago.

And it was great.

We've really a really fun time, got into all sorts of interesting things here.

And I think you're going to like it.

Certainly one of the more fun podcasts for me to do.

And thank you to Matt for making the time wildly busy researcher.

And yeah, just very thankful that Matt was willing to spend the time with us.

And yeah, we get into all sorts of stuff from consciousness to his recent article about introducing kind of strange or unfamiliar metaphysical concepts to people and priming, the idea of priming an individual before an experience.

And yeah, just leaving your baggage out of it,

leaving your kind of programming at home. And, you know, what does that mean? Yeah, what does it

mean when you kind of just set a nice container, don't introduce too much, and it works just fine,

in fact, amazingly better than most things. So a lot of food for thought

there. And I think we should all consider it carefully with what we do. We got the chance to discuss

Matt's paper in one of our recent navigating psychedelics courses. And it was a really great discussion

the students all had there. And just thankful that Matt

joined us and I hope you all enjoy it. So what else? Yeah, we still have seats available for

navigating psychedelics for clinicians and therapists. This is on Thursday night starting at March.

So check that out if you want to get educated on psychedelics.

And it's kind of an eight-week deep dive into the psychedelic topic.
