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

Breck and Ridge, Colorado. Today on the show, we have a new exciting guest, Matt Ball, a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Australia.

And he recently was in our navigating psychedelics class and we had some really interesting

conversations.

And I really wanted Matt to come on the show.

Got to know him over the course of eight weeks and was very impressed, very interested.

And I hope you are too.

So this is kind of, in a sense, a continuation of the conversation with Will Hall and Dr. Craig Hecock.

And if you haven't heard those episodes, they're worth checking out.

But you don't really need to listen to them before this.

I just suggest if you like this episode or had issues with this episode, you go listen to those three as well.

Trigger warning.

There is some suicide talk in here.

So if that's going to cause you some issues, probably skip to the next episode. And yeah, we do go

into some touchy things. We critique the DSM quite extensively. We talk about schizophrenia quite

extensively and suicide quite extensively. Yeah. And there's also a quote by Albert Camus in there.

I think I called him French.

I don't think he's French.

I believe he is from Algeria.

So sorry if that offended anyone.

But no, it says he is French here.

And he did win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 57, 1957.
