00:00I'm Alaa. I'm here to say hi to Hajj Heddawi.
00:11I know all of Hajj Heddawi's men. This is the first time I see you.
00:16Yeah, I know. I'm a designer, but I decided to work with Hajj Heddawi for a part-time job.
00:22What's a part-time job for Hajj Heddawi?
00:24What are you talking about? It's a part-time job.
00:29I'm telling you, Alaa. What's the password?
00:31L-S-A-D-1-2-3-4-5-6-X
00:40That's awesome.
00:42No one told me they were sending someone new.
00:44Don't worry. Don't worry.
00:46Take this bag and give me the bag you have.
00:48We'll swap it because I'm in a hurry.
00:50I still need to get some cheese and pasta.
00:53Okay, Abu Kareem.
00:56Okay, your turn.
00:58What is it?
01:07Why did you do that?
01:09I don't have to try before I give it to the boss.
01:12Do you think I'm an idiot?
01:14Is this what the boss told you to do?
01:16Of course not. He has to know I'm a hard worker.
01:18And you didn't take your money.
01:20What's your name?
01:22My name is Abu Sehna.
01:23Do you want me to make you happy?
01:25No, I don't.
01:26Oh, I get it. You're Abu Sehna.
01:35What is this, Abu Sehna?
01:36What?
01:37What's wrong with you?
01:41Is this all you're going to do?
01:43What's wrong with you? Don't get mad at me.
01:46What's going on?
01:48Did we take the wrong Instagram account?
01:50I'm in a hurry.
01:52Don't get mad at me.
01:53What's wrong with you?
01:54He's the one who took the Instagram account.
01:56I'm in a hurry.
01:57My mom is coming.
01:58No, wait.
01:59My mom doesn't have an Instagram account.
02:02Hi.
02:03What is this?
02:05Did we take the wrong account?
02:09What's going on?
02:12What's going on?
02:14Shika!
02:23Alkoholics Anonymous
02:28Dear viewers, peace be upon you.
02:30Welcome to a new episode.
02:32Or old, or new, God knows.
02:34Or whatever happens in the program.
02:36Five years ago, in the United States,
02:38a healthy alcohol addict, Bill Wilson,
02:40who founded Alkoholics Anonymous,
02:42was 20 years younger.
02:44His group was able to help, and is still helping,
02:46many people recover from alcoholism,
02:48and addiction in general.
02:50During this time, Wilson participated in
02:52establishing his organization,
02:54and designing a 12-step program to get rid of addiction.
02:56During this time, he was busy thinking.
02:58Thinking about one of the most important principles
03:00of the program,
03:02which is that getting rid of addiction
03:04requires a spiritual change.
03:06A change that is necessary to achieve
03:08a positive psychological change.
03:10This change enables addicts
03:12to plan their psychological cycles
03:14so they can drink and not be able to stop.
03:16Wilson insisted that a spiritual change
03:18is important in recovering from addiction,
03:20and that this is what made him stop
03:22for more than 20 years.
03:24This is what made Wilson take a big risk
03:26in searching for answers
03:28to this spiritual change.
03:30Wilson decided to volunteer
03:32in a clinical trial on a new substance
03:34that is still being studied
03:36to be used in psychotherapy.
03:38In a hospital in Los Angeles,
03:40and under the supervision of Dr. Sidney Cohen,
03:42Wilson participated in the trial.
03:44The trial was about a new substance
03:46that will help him get rid of addiction
03:48in all other ways.
03:50This substance is called
03:52Lysergic Acid Diethylamide,
03:54also known as LSD.
03:56This substance, dear viewers,
03:58with calculated amounts,
04:00can stimulate very strong hallucinations.
04:02Wilson took LSD
04:04in therapy sessions
04:06with Dr. Sidney Cohen
04:08and another psychologist,
04:10Betty Eisner.
04:12Betty said that something very important
04:14and painful for his psychological suffering
04:16is the fact that,
04:18when he was young,
04:20he didn't see himself as a loving person.
04:22This made it very difficult
04:24for him to trust people.
04:26Despite the difficulties he faced
04:28and despite the long-term depression
04:30that Bill Wilson was suffering from,
04:32these sessions, according to him,
04:34made him feel at peace with himself.
04:36During the sessions,
04:38Wilson was convinced that
04:40he could make a difference
04:42and he decided to take LSD
04:44in therapy sessions
04:46with Dr. Sidney Cohen
04:48and another psychologist,
04:50Betty Eisner.
04:52After this experience,
04:54Bill Wilson began to recognize
04:56members of Alcoholics Anonymous
04:58on LSD.
05:00But, dear viewers,
05:02as you might expect,
05:04he faced a very strong resistance.
05:06What do you say, dear viewers?
05:08Did people attack him
05:10because he was an alcoholic?
05:12It doesn't make sense.
05:14Sorry, Abu Ahmed,
05:16but that's your life's goal.
05:18Leave us alone, dear viewers.
05:20This will traumatize us.
05:22Studies like the one
05:24that Wilson volunteered
05:26showed that the effects of LSD
05:28and similar substances
05:30are different from traditional drugs
05:32that cause brain damage.
05:34It was also shown that
05:36using LSD in psychotherapy sessions
05:38is not a judgmental victory.
05:40Let's talk about the history
05:42and studies about LSD
05:44together.
05:46In 1938, in Basel, Switzerland,
05:48the chemist Albert Hoffman
05:50was conducting a series of experiments
05:52on a substance called Ergot
05:54to see if it could produce
05:56substances that could be used
05:58in medicine.
06:00He found a few substances
06:02including a acid called
06:04Lysergic Acid Diethylamide.
06:06LSD-25.
06:08All the Ergot-produced substances
06:10were examined and proved
06:12that these substances are not used
06:14in medicine.
06:16But Hoffman couldn't stop thinking
06:18about LSD.
06:20He had a strong feeling
06:22that this substance was different
06:24from the rest of the substances
06:26he discovered.
06:28After 5 years,
06:30Hoffman decided
06:32to stop doubting.
06:34He started looking for other ways
06:36to use LSD.
06:38Suddenly,
06:40he found himself
06:42nervous and dizzy.
06:44He left the lab
06:46and went to sleep.
06:48He woke up
06:50in a strange state
06:52between sleep and awareness.
06:54He saw strange shapes
06:56and colors.
06:58He didn't understand
07:00what was going on.
07:02He took a bold step
07:04and tried LSD on himself.
07:06He did his calculations
07:08and measured the dose.
07:10After 40 minutes,
07:12he felt the same.
07:14He left the lab
07:16and went home.
07:18He was terrified.
07:20The room was filled with
07:22scary creatures.
07:24In his book,
07:26LSD, My Problem Child,
07:28Hoffman said that he felt
07:30the same thing for 5 hours.
07:32He saw other shapes and colors
07:34dancing around him.
07:36They interacted with normal sounds
07:38such as the sound of a car outside
07:40or the sound of a door opening.
07:42He said that any sound
07:44turned into strong visual images.
07:46He was sure that he had discovered
07:48something important.
07:50After that,
07:52he studied LSD.
07:54He used a substance called
07:56psilocybin.
07:58There are thousands of mushrooms.
08:00Some are edible.
08:02Some are poisonous.
08:04These mushrooms have
08:06chemical substances
08:08that can take you to another world.
08:10This is not new.
08:12There are evidence that humans
08:14discovered these substances
08:16thousands of years ago.
08:18These are natural things.
08:20Nature is good.
08:22Nature doesn't produce
08:24bad things.
08:26Tiredness is natural.
08:28Nature is good.
08:30Nature has no negative or positive signs.
08:32I am natural.
08:34I want to be artificial.
08:36I will love myself when I am artificial.
08:38There are evidence that humans
08:40discovered these substances thousands of years ago.
08:42Like the drawings of the mushroom man
08:44that you see on the screen.
08:46It is estimated to be 10,000 years old.
08:48They found it in Australian caves.
08:50There is a substance called
08:52dimethyl tryptamine or DMT.
08:54DMT is a type of plant
08:56that grows in South America.
08:58Indigenous people still use it
09:00in religious rituals for hundreds of years.
09:02There is also a type of mushroom
09:04called peyote.
09:06It contains a stimulant called
09:08mescaline.
09:10It was used in limited studies
09:12at the beginning of the 20th century
09:14before the discovery of LSD.
09:16Huffman's discoveries were
09:18the starting point for
09:20introducing these substances
09:22to different parts of the world.
09:24Huffman's discoveries were
09:26the beginning of a new understanding
09:28of these substances.
09:30They are stimulants for the brain
09:32or something similar to schizophrenia.
09:34It was thought that they could be used
09:36in studying mental illnesses
09:38because they simulate mental illnesses
09:40that can be controlled with different drugs.
09:42For example, I want to simulate
09:44my mental illness.
09:46I take a drug from these substances
09:48that I know has an effect on it
09:50and I use it in my studies.
09:52This concept remained for a while
09:54because of an experiment
09:56by the British psychiatrist
09:58Humphrey Osmond
10:00and his Canadian colleague
10:02Abraham Hofer
10:04in a mental hospital
10:06in one of Canada's states.
10:08It's called Saskatchewan
10:10but I'm afraid that
10:12the Canadian people have a problem
10:14with the note.
10:16I apologize to Mr. Huffman.
10:18The substance is LSD.
10:20LSD and mescaline.
10:22Let me tell you
10:24that this was the first attempt
10:26to use psychedelics
10:28as a therapeutic substance.
10:30Their view was that when doctors
10:32take the experience of a mental illness
10:34but it has to be temporary
10:36it will deepen their understanding of the illness
10:38and help them communicate better.
10:40When they give these substances
10:42to alcoholics, they simulate
10:44the worst psychological state
10:46and maybe if they see their worst state
10:48they will stop.
10:50This experiment lasted for 10 years
10:52on more than 700 addicts
10:54and it brought unexpected results
10:56in the treatment of alcohol addiction.
10:58After one shot of LSD,
11:00the treatment focused on
11:02identifying the cause of the addiction
11:04which makes the addict need alcohol
11:06and about 45% of these addicts
11:08stopped drinking.
11:10At the end of the year,
11:12they were still abstaining.
11:14About 2,000 alcoholics
11:16were treated by Hoover.
11:18Let me tell you that this was not
11:20the only surprise.
11:22The addicts were not described
11:24their experience under the effect of LSD
11:26as a dissociative state.
11:28But they said in their analysis
11:30that it was a deep brain experience
11:32even if part of it was the illness.
11:34One of the participants told the doctor
11:36that he saw his body separated
11:38and that inside his stomach
11:40was a battle of beauty.
11:42He discovered the beauty
11:44that was hidden under the dust.
11:46When he felt that he could change himself
11:48through this story,
11:50he was able to make a big change in his life.
11:52Osmond discovered that these substances
11:54do not talk about mental disorders
11:56but they show other aspects of them
11:58and he called it a new name
12:00with a new classification, psychedelics.
12:02The word psychedelics is inspired
12:04by two words in Greek,
12:06psyche in the sense of the soul
12:08and delic in the sense of discovery.
12:10An important part of the discovery
12:12is that the brain chemistry
12:14is directly related to the mental state
12:16and the cognitive state.
12:18Any error in this chemistry
12:20is related to mental disorders.
12:22But during these five years,
12:24as there were important discoveries
12:26about psychedelics and its possibilities,
12:28it is also a period in which
12:30psychedelic foundations are drawn.
12:32Specifically, when it fell into the hands
12:34of the Americans.
12:36In 1953, during the Cold War
12:38The American intelligence agency
12:40began conducting experiments
12:42on LSD as part of a process
12:44called MK-Alta
12:46in which they were experimenting
12:48with mind-control techniques
12:50like 11 in Stranger Things.
12:52They wanted to test if they could
12:54use LSD in psychological torture
12:56and incitement to confession
12:58from enemies.
13:00At that time, the CIA
13:02widely published LSD
13:04in illegal and immoral ways
13:06without telling them
13:08that it was under the cover
13:10of a fake scientific experiment.
13:12After several years of experiments,
13:14the CIA did not find any useful use
13:16of LSD in its intelligence work.
13:18It does not look at parties
13:20and does not torture people.
13:22We tried something,
13:24we did not find it working.
13:26Thank God.
13:28The problem is that it was
13:30smoking large amounts of LSD
13:32in the country.
13:34In his experiment,
13:36he ate a wild mushroom
13:38containing psilocybin.
13:40He described it as it taught him
13:42about the brain and the human soul
13:44more than everything he learned
13:46in his 15-year study.
13:48This man's experiment
13:50drastically changed the course
13:52of psychedelics,
13:54not because of his scientific
13:56or intellectual contributions,
13:58but because he became
14:00a revolutionary icon
14:02in the field of psychedelics.
14:04Let me tell you, dear,
14:06that these studies were not
14:08in the cemetery.
14:10These studies were at home
14:12in a festive atmosphere.
14:14Dear, if I made a study like this
14:16with my friends, literally.
14:18To the extent that Leary and Albert
14:20were taking psychedelics with
14:22the volunteers.
14:24Of course, dear, I do not need
14:26to tell you that in the academic
14:28and scientific environment,
14:30Leary saw himself as a prophet
14:32giving good news about psychedelics.
14:34He saw it as an intellectual revolution.
14:36What could be more important
14:38than being just a drug?
14:40Of course, dear, as you expected,
14:42Leary was expelled from Harvard
14:44in 1963 due to his work on psychedelics.
14:46But at that time, Leary's popularity
14:48was increasing, and he became
14:50the leader of the people.
14:52His personality was famous
14:54for his enthusiastic speeches
14:56that encouraged young people
14:58to take psychedelics seriously.
15:00Psychedelics, and especially LSD,
15:02spread like wildfire among young people
15:04in the United States, and it was
15:06a cornerstone of the radical movement
15:08of counterculture, which supported
15:10protests against the Vietnam War
15:12and rejected education in the war.
15:14Although it was in the Cold War.
15:16Timothy Leary's promotion of psychedelics
15:18as a resistance tool was, of course,
15:20very frustrating for the American government,
15:22which was facing protests and civil disobedience
15:24in several sectors of society,
15:26and supported the liberation of women.
15:28So the world is not just about Uncle Leary.
15:30Psychedelics was also related to art,
15:32and especially music in the 60s.
15:34For example, the most famous bands
15:36like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Jimi Hendrix
15:38all said that their music affected
15:40their experiences with psychedelics.
15:42Of course, the spread of psychedelics
15:44in this way, and its perception
15:46that it was the key to creativity and liberation,
15:48made it gain a lot of attention
15:50from the press and the media.
15:52But...
15:53Of course, dear, I don't need to tell you
15:55that psychedelics had dark sides.
15:57As you say, dear, people's acceptance
15:59increased with psychedelics,
16:01and people's lives were exposed to danger
16:03due to the use of these substances
16:05without supervision, and people died.
16:07Kaufman said in his book
16:09that a number of people died
16:11when they threw themselves in front of cars
16:13or young people because hallucinations
16:15inspired them to be able to fly,
16:17or because of hallucinations that happened to them.
16:19It led to their psychological collapse and suicide.
16:21And this is the danger of psychedelics.
16:23Psychedelics is a very powerful weapon on the brain.
16:25Using it in the wrong conditions,
16:27like recreational use,
16:29can be a destructive weapon.
16:31In the 60s, and due to the link
16:33of psychedelics with political unrest,
16:35the media coverage
16:37was all an attack on psychedelics,
16:39even its medical use.
16:41Doctors and researchers
16:43who support medical use
16:45themselves were attacked and accused
16:47of supporting radical movements
16:49that aim to destroy the social system.
16:51Do you want to work on studying psychedelics
16:53in a scientific way?
16:55So the officials at your university
16:57are talking to you like this.
16:59No!
17:01Are you a terrorist?
17:03No!
17:05And at the end of the 70s,
17:07the state of poverty reached its peak.
17:09After all this burning and suffering,
17:11President Nixon in the early 70s
17:13declares war on drugs
17:15and criminalizes LSD and psilocybin
17:17as dangerous drugs from the first degree.
17:19The definition of the first degree
17:21means that it causes addiction
17:23and that it is useless without medical use.
17:25However, Hoffman says
17:27that he could not imagine
17:29that LSD would be a drug
17:31used for pleasure, like traditional drugs.
17:33Hoffman, the person who discovered
17:35and named LSD, says
17:37that at times he did not know
17:39whether he helped humanity discover it or curse it.
17:41Because the bad use of LSD
17:43can have very serious consequences.
17:45Sometimes it can lead to suicide,
17:47but we see that social conditions
17:49led to the spread of psychedelics
17:51during this period in America.
17:53And the attraction of people to these substances
17:55was a desire to resist material life
17:57and industrialization
17:59that prevented people from connecting with nature
18:01and removed their sense of meaning in their lives.
18:03And this created, as you say,
18:05an intellectual void in society.
18:07They did not have a program like mine,
18:09so there was an intellectual void.
18:11Anyway, within a few years after the crime of LSD,
18:13studies on psychedelics almost stopped.
18:15In 2006,
18:17a study was published by an old university
18:19known as Johns Hopkins.
18:21But yes,
18:23it is a different study from the previous ones.
18:25The study proves that if we compare
18:27psilocybin with placebo,
18:29which is a scientific experiment
18:31that always compares with placebo,
18:33we will find that psilocybin
18:35does similar experiments
18:37with what is called mystical experiences.
18:39This is the scientific description
18:41of what is known as existential experiences
18:43that science could not describe.
18:4567% of the participants in this study
18:47classified this experiment
18:49as one of the most important events
18:51that happened to them in their lives.
18:53However, their experiment was not necessarily
18:55a fun experiment.
18:57The study says that many of the participants
18:59felt anxiety and fear
19:01before and after taking psilocybin.
19:03But their assessment of the experiment
19:05was that it was as violent
19:07as it was meaningful and wise.
19:09This study opened the door
19:11to an acceptable environment
19:13to encourage people
19:15to study what is called psychedelics again.
19:17First of all,
19:19it is a way to study the cognitive state
19:21that people describe
19:23as a spiritual state.
19:25This is a mysterious logic in science.
19:27Scientists do not understand this
19:29because these are subjective experiences
19:31that differ from one to the other.
19:33It is difficult to study this in the lab.
19:35And be careful, there are many subjective things.
19:37Pain, for example, is a subjective feeling.
19:39This means happiness,
19:41satisfaction,
19:43or a spiritual experience.
19:45They do not know how to test it,
19:47touch it, or find markers.
19:49There is another study,
19:51randomized, double-blinded,
19:53which means that neither the people
19:55who do the experiment know
19:57nor the people who do the experiment
19:59know about the people
20:01who do the experiment.
20:03I do not understand.
20:05What I want to say is that
20:07this study proved
20:09the effect of psilocybin on the psychological state
20:11and increased the credibility of the 2006 study,
20:13which says that psychedelics
20:15may have a healing effect.
20:17After this study, the field of studying
20:19psilocybin, which was actually easier to accept,
20:21because most of the old attacks
20:23were on LSD.
20:25From 2006 to today, psychedelics
20:27have undergone many tests,
20:29and in fact, it has brought many positive results,
20:31such as a set of studies conducted
20:33from 2011 to 2016 on some cancer patients
20:35that showed that a dose of psilocybin
20:37helped some participants in the study
20:39to overcome their fear of death.
20:41These patients were at the end stage.
20:43Another study, Metal Analysis,
20:45was conducted in 2012 on 6 studies
20:47between the 60s and 70s
20:49that showed that the use of a single dose
20:51of LSD in a treatment program
20:53to treat alcohol addiction
20:55had correlations
20:57to reduce alcohol consumption levels
20:59over a period
21:01of up to 6 months.
21:03In addition, another study
21:05was published in 2022
21:07in The Lancet, a well-known magazine
21:09that showed that a single dose
21:11of psilocybin in a psychotherapy session
21:13under the supervision of a doctor
21:15reduced the symptoms of depression
21:17in participants over a period of 2 weeks.
21:19All these studies showed
21:21in the past 5 years that psilocybin
21:23was decriminalized
21:25in several cities and states.
21:27Let me tell you something,
21:29decriminalization means that it is still criminalized,
21:31but the authorities will not take action
21:33against those who use it.
21:35In Australia and some cities in the US,
21:37there is a decriminalization of psilocybin
21:39for psychotherapy.
21:41But this is happening in a very limited area,
21:43and for someone to attend these sessions,
21:45the costs are very high.
21:47Despite all this,
21:49and despite the enthusiasm of researchers,
21:51there is a great fear
21:53of repeating the LSD scenario
21:55that happened in the past.
21:57Those who defend psychedelics studies
21:59are the ones who will make enough studies
22:01because this can encourage more people
22:03to experience it in the wrong circumstances
22:05without supervision.
22:07This is a disaster, a problem.
22:09We don't want it to spread like it did before,
22:11so bad things happen to people.
22:13Many specialists warn against using LSD
22:15for the same causes that make some people
22:17smoke drugs.
22:19This reminds us of the epidemic
22:21that occurred due to the use of opioids
22:23in the 90s.
22:25In short, we must avoid using psychedelics
22:27The second question is what we are interested in in this episode.
22:29This is something that,
22:31according to some studies,
22:33can be useful
22:35in treating some types of disorders.
22:37What some studies show us
22:39is that these substances
22:41can play an important role
22:43in dealing with some psychological disorders
22:45as part of a therapy program
22:47supervised by doctors
22:49or specialized psychotherapists.
22:51They treat their lives
22:53while they are under the influence of psychedelics.
22:55In a prepared environment for that.
22:57Do you want to use your brain? I'm here for you.
22:59Dear beautiful viewers,
23:01many of those who were subjected to treatment
23:03using psychedelics under medical supervision
23:05described their experience as
23:07a door that opens in a different way
23:09for themselves and their families.
23:11This door helps them understand the roots of their problems
23:13and that this experience gives them
23:15a different perspective on themselves.
23:17It's like writing a new novel
23:19about the people who took the drugs.
23:21A different novel than the one
23:23you read in a psychiatric clinic.
23:25A person has a psychological disorder
23:27and you told him or her
23:29that he or she has problems
23:31and so on.
23:33But the psychedelics experience
23:35allowed him or her to see
23:37the possibility of another novel.
23:39On the other hand,
23:41we need to understand that
23:43modern psychotherapy
23:45and the view of the majority
23:47in psychotherapy and psychiatry
23:49still have a lot of objections
23:51The modern psychotherapist
23:53and the majority in our world
23:55look at the patient and say
23:57that his or her condition has improved
23:59when he or she took a certain drug
24:01and say that there is a correlation
24:03between the drug and his or her condition.
24:05As long as your psychotherapist
24:07doesn't know how the drug
24:09affected his or her condition,
24:11he or she can't judge
24:13the relationship between
24:15this and that.
24:17As long as I can't find
24:19a correlation between the drug
24:21and his or her condition,
24:23he or she can't judge
24:25the relationship between
24:27the drug and his or her condition.
24:29Until this moment,
24:31we can't say that hallucinations
24:33are what treat people.
24:35We can't say in medical terms
24:37that it is a mode of action.
24:39Second, there is a correlation
24:41but whether there is a causation
24:43we don't know.
24:45Of course, there are still
24:47different types of serotonin
24:49and other types that increase
24:51serotonin secretion
24:53and this is the reason
24:55why it is so effective.
24:57In one way or another,
24:59it works with mechanisms
25:01that are similar to antidepressants
25:03such as SSRIs and SNRIs.
25:05This is the chemical explanation.
25:07One of the famous theories
25:09that we can consider a neural explanation
25:11for the effect of psychedelics
25:13on the brain is that it reduces
25:15the number of neurons in the brain
25:17and the number of neurons in the brain
25:19reduces the number of neurons
25:21in the brain.
25:23This is the effect of a neural
25:25explanation that reduces
25:27the number of neurons in the brain
25:29and the number of neurons in the brain
25:31reduces the number of neurons
25:33in the brain.
25:35This is the effect of a neural
25:37explanation that reduces
25:39the number of neurons in the brain
25:41and the number of neurons in the brain
25:43For example, a military patrol
25:45organizes a signal to prevent a riot.
25:47This logic, for people who have
25:49psychological disorders such as depression,
25:51the activity in it is very high.
25:53In default mode networks,
25:55the activity is very high,
25:57but under the influence of psychedelics,
25:59the activity decreases and this
26:01eliminates a case of neural riot.
26:03Neural signals enter and exit.
26:05Areas in the brain that do not
26:07communicate with each other normally
26:09begin to communicate.
26:11Researchers also found this correlation
26:13between the decrease of activity
26:15in this area under the influence of
26:17psychedelics and the improvement
26:19of some patients.
26:21How can we scientifically use
26:23our control over neural activity
26:25to treat psychological disorders
26:27on a large scale?
26:29This is the question now,
26:31which is based on studies and
26:33experiments on psychedelics,
26:35but in a different way than
26:37what was done in the past.
26:39But even at this moment,
26:41at this moment,
26:43questions are still more than answers.
26:45Psychedelics is still one of the
26:47most important scientific puzzles
26:49in the medicine industry.
26:51It has spaces to take, respond,
26:53modify, change, review, and form.
26:55In short, no one knows exactly.
26:57One of the biggest obstacles
26:59that the scientific community must find
27:01an answer to before generalizing psychedelics
27:03is why the effect of this substance
27:05is different from person to person.
27:07The modern medicine has a fundamental
27:09principle, which is repetition
27:11and the ability to predict.
27:13If I give a patient a substance,
27:15his or her body's response
27:17must be at least similar.
27:19How can I predict this response?
27:21Besides, it is difficult for me
27:23to use it as a medicine.
27:25In an article published in the Nature magazine
27:27entitled Psychedelic Drugs,
27:29a group of researchers asked
27:31that the research published
27:33by the Psychedelics magazine
27:35should be monitored to check
27:37the conditions of safety,
27:39especially since there is a high market
27:41that is trying to return psychedelics
27:43to the light.
27:45The point is that before it returns,
27:47we must know about it scientifically
27:49and with a scientific approach.
27:51The authors also say that many studies
27:53that deal with psychedelics are experiments
27:55that have been carried out.
27:57An important point is that
27:59we still do not have enough data.
28:01Will the people who are given this substance
28:03be able to use it in the long run?
28:05But we don't know.
28:07Some people say,
28:09Abu Hamid, you went right and left
28:11and told us that there are no studies
28:13and that it is not enough
28:15and that it can be addictive
28:17and that it can kill people.
28:19Abu Hamid, why are you confusing us?
28:21I find that there is something beautiful
28:23and beneficial for us as people
28:25and we see the science and it is still developing.
28:27We really don't know.
28:29Will psychedelics be useful
28:31in the treatment of psychological diseases?
28:33Or not?
28:35And it can become one of the disasters
28:37of psychopharmacology.
28:39The beauty of this episode is that we see
28:41the science and it is developing
28:43in the time of the ongoing pandemic.
28:45We do not know at this moment.
28:47I think this is a beautiful thing
28:49because in most of the episodes of the program
28:51we talk about things that happened
28:53and we know them.
28:55But here we see what happens
28:57in the scientific community.
28:59Maybe in 10 years I will tell you
29:01that the experiment was successful
29:03and that psilocybin is the cure.
29:05And maybe in 10 years I will tell you
29:07that the experiment failed.
29:09But again, I love this moment
29:11and I feel that it is important for the viewer
29:13to know that he sees the disease
29:15while it is developing.
29:17This is a priceless moment.
29:19Of course, one important thing,
29:21please do not get me wrong
29:23and do not get yourself involved
29:25in this crime in most countries
29:27I did not tell you anything
29:29and do not get yourself involved
29:31in this crime.
29:33Do not get yourself involved
29:35in this crime.
29:37Do not get yourself involved
29:39in this crime.
29:41Do not get yourself involved
29:43in this crime.
29:45Do not get yourself involved
29:47in this crime.
29:49Do not get yourself involved
29:51in this crime.
29:53Do not get yourself involved
29:55in this crime.
30:25Do not get yourself involved
30:27in this crime.
