Psychonautica #34 - Dennis Mckenna on neuroscience

[maxfreakout]

In this week's episode of psychonautica, Max Freakout first reads out an obituary of Albert Hoffman who died on 29/04/08, written by Dieter Hagenbach and Lucius Werthmuller, then plays the talk by Dennis Mckenna - 'Psychedelics in basic neuroscience and clinical practise' from the world Psychedelic forum. Dennis Mckenna talks about the ancient use of psychedelics by indigenus cultures, the role of the shaman, and shamanic techniques of ecstasy, the pharmacology of psychedelics, serotonin receptors, true psychedelics and quasi-psychedelics such as Salvia Divinorum and MDMA, the use of psychedelics for studying the neural substrate of consciousness, various neuroscientists and their research projects, comparison of psilocybin to meditation, psychedelics and mystical/religious experiences, and the use of psychedelics to treat addiction and obssessive compulsive disorder.
