| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome back to psychedelics today. Today on the show, we have Jim Fateman. |
| 0:18.4 | Really excited about this one. Jim Fatiman has been around in the psychedelic scene |
| 0:23.3 | for about as long as anybody else. And I was certainly early in the LSD culture of California |
| 0:31.9 | wrote the book Psychedelic Explorer's Guide. And it's possibly the book I recommend most out of any other book |
| 0:40.3 | in the psychedelic landscape. And I really, really feel strongly that people should be reading |
| 0:45.8 | that one. There's so much good history here and, you know, precautionary stuff. Beyond that, |
| 0:53.5 | let's see, Jim is popular for popularizing |

| 1:41.1 | in the early days, the formational days of transpersonal psychology, |
| 1:46.5 | along with Stan Groff and a few others. |
| 1:49.3 | So that's probably it. |
| 1:51.8 | But I loved this interview. |
| 1:53.6 | It's really thankful that Jim joined us and hope you all learn something. |
| 2:01.9 | You know, it's a really funny topic, this microdosing thing. |
| 2:06.2 | There's so much confusion that we keep seeing studies that say, oh, it's bad or, oh, it's good. |
| 2:13.1 | And there's a lot to this conversation. |
