  • #3 - Exploring Stepping Out of the Medicine Cabinet (Cameron Dubes)
    Feb 21 2024

    In this episode, we interview Senior Philanthropic Advisor to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). Cameron writes:


    "I came out of the closet 30 years ago and now coming out of the "medicine cabinet". I've experimented with entheogens since the late 80's. I recognize now that while friends were dying of AIDS, many of us were on the dance floor processing our collective grief and PTSD in real time with MDMA. Then following the 1992 Rio de Janerio Eco Summit I experienced ayahuasca for the first time in Brazil and it has guided me ever since. Now, for the first time in my life I'm able to be open about my own consciousness exploration and translate my own personal healing experiences as I help MAPS raise funds for the important research they are doing to help heal U.S. military veterans and others suffering from PTSD using MDMA as a treatment modality."


    In addition, David describes a recent scientific article exploring the view that ayahuasca ceremonies may make people less narcissistic?
