Dr. James Fadiman is an American psychologist and pioneering psychedelic researcher with a BA from Harvard and a PhD in Psychology from Stanford. Introduced to LSD by Ram Dass in 1961, he began psychedelic research before the 1960s crackdown. Co-founder of what became Sofia University, Fadiman is known as the "father of microdosing" and author of The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide and Microdosing for Health, Healing, and Enhanced Performance.
We spoke about LSD, ego dissolution, and God. He breaks down the science of microdosing for depression, PTSD, Tourette's, and dementia, exposes why LSD was really made illegal, and reveals a stunning study reversing dementia with psychedelics.
