Psychedelics in therapeutic settings
BAR HARBOR The Jesup Memorial Library is hosting a virtual panel discussion with doctors from the MDI Hospital about the use of psychedelics in therapeutic settings on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. on Zoom.
Dr. Mark Kandutsch, Dr. Andres Abreu and Alexander Schin will give a brief history of how psychedelics have been used in the past, including their use in therapy. They will then discuss the resurgent interest in the use of psychedelics in today’s medical settings, and talk about microdosing, which is the practice of consuming very low, sub-hallucinogenic doses of a psychedelic substance, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) or psilocybin-containing mushrooms.
