Summary
In this episode, Joe and Kyle finally meet up again for the first episode of Psychedelics Lately: the updated version of the much-missed Psychedelics Weekly, where they'll meet each month to talk about the most interesting stories in psychedelics.
The main story this month is the fate of Massachusetts' Question 4: Regulated Access to Psychedelic Substances Initiative (The Natural Psychedelic Substances Act). They discuss what they like about the bill, its opposition, and its support, including actress Eliza Dushku Palandjian, who went from a diagnosis of PTSD and an in-the-psychedelic-closet underground experience to becoming a very public, soon-to-be certified psychedelic facilitator. If you live in Massachusetts, make sure to read about the bill and get out and vote this Tuesday (or now, if you're registered for early voting).
They also discuss:
- Joe's recent east coast travels to Harvard and the PhilaDelic conference
- Alfred North Whitehead and Process Philosophy
- The Psychedelics and Pain Association, and Court Wing's involvement in the first published case report of complex regional pain syndrome being treated with psilocybin
- The scientific community needing to embrace more experientially-based approaches and practices
- The challenge of making meaning out of the mystical
and more!

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. Welcome back. This is Segadilex lately by Segdilex today. How are you doing today, Kyle? |
| 0:14.8 | Not too bad. Getting over COVID. How are you doing? Yeah, COVID's always the best. |
| 0:22.5 | I wish we could do away with it by now, but maybe sooner than later. |
| 0:27.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:27.7 | Well, thanks for doing it, despite the recovery process and all sorts of fun stuff to talk about. |
| 0:33.8 | Yeah, it'll be fun to dig back in. |
| 0:35.3 | Yeah, we kind of converted this to psychedelics lately versus what we used to call it, psychedelics, what was it, weekly, and then our Solidarity Friday episodes. Yeah, that was really great. And I love doing that with you. And I think we did a lot of really great stuff there and hope we can recapture some of that magic. Yeah. So the hope everybody is to do this on a monthly |
| 0:56.3 | basis, if not more often, if we can fit it in. And we'll just get back into this groove of |
| 1:01.8 | sharing our insights about the news and greater frequency than we have been lately. So, |
| 1:09.2 | psychedelics lately. So I want to talk about Massachusetts. This is |
| 1:13.3 | the current ballot initiative. I think the only ballot initiative that looks like there's a good |
| 1:18.9 | chance it might pass to legalize regulated psychedelic access is also a pretty robust |
| 1:24.7 | decrim framework. Some aspects of it, I like more than Colorado. Some |
| 1:29.3 | aspects I don't like as much, but I'm generally, I'm very for this one. Have you done any |
| 1:33.8 | reading or learned much about this program yet? Yeah, I've dug into it a little bit. I've been |
| 1:38.0 | following that and the New Jersey one a bit. But yeah, it sounds like you've been following it |
| 1:43.0 | a little bit more. I know you're just |
| 1:44.1 | in Massachusetts and on the East Coast. And so you probably have some better insight here. So, yeah, |
| 1:49.9 | I would love to maybe hear a little bit more about what you know about the bill. |
| 1:53.6 | It's nearly identical to Colorado. So there will be a regulated, licensed framework for, you know, |
| 2:00.8 | government tested effectively. |
| 2:03.2 | Like government-approved framework to do legal therapy where there's licensed grows, |
