Human involvement in psychedelic substances goes back for thousands of years. This course will cover the history of psychedelics and their effect on the brain from both from a physiological and psychological viewpoint. We will focus on the primary psychedelics -- LSD (Acid), DMT (Ayahuasca), Psilocybin (Mushrooms) -- and the other dissociative psychedelics -- MDMA (Ecstasy) and Ketamine. We will review the new therapeutic uses of psychedelic substances for depression, PTSD, OCD, addiction, and anxiety. We will finish with a look at what the future holds.
