What do you think is the next frontier in psychedelics/drug research? E.g. psychedelics for cluster headaches.
Where would you invest next Tim if you wanted to have the most impact?
Or what have you discovered Michael for your upcoming book that we are not aware of?
Or Matthew, what would you research if you weren’t constrained in any way?
I think there are many frontiers. One is neurological, of which headaches are only a subset. There are compelling reports of athletes with repetitive impact head injuries who claim the psychedelics have helped restore cognitive function. That will be fascinating to study, as it could potentially build a bridge between the neuroplastic effects seen in nonhuman research and human therapeutic effects. Ultimately one thing I’d like to study is treating people convicted of antisocial crimes. Essentially picking up on Leary’s Concord prison study which was rather flawed in execution and analysis. I’m not saying it will work, and it will take more than the drug, but this would be absolutely fascinating.
