3,961 views •

Rick Doblin is the founder and executive director of MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. His goal is to help develop contexts, for the legal use of psychedelics and marijuana. He is currently in phase 3 of clinical trials testing the combination of MDMA and psychotherapy as a safe and effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. This has been in the works for over 30 years. Ultimately he wants to explore how psychedelics can be used to resolve some of the world’s biggest problems amongst religions, in spirituality, and for conflict resolution.
