Plus Three

The Plus Three podcast is Psymposia co-founder Brian Normand, Medicine, Society and Culture Editor, Nese Devenot, Politics and Ecology Editor, Brian Pace, and Managing Editor, David Nickles. Plus Three goes deep into the world of drugs, from local decriminalization and emerging psychedelic corporations to leftist politics and mass incarceration. Each week the team and guests attempt to make sense of the complex connections between drugs, science, capitalism, policy, and culture.

Coming Out of the Psychedelic Closet

October 8, 2015

Who am I? How do you answer that question? I’m a mother, a wife, a teacher, a scholar. And I’m also a psychedelic woman.


Taking Drugs Seriously: The Reagans, Socrates, and Hypocrisies

March 10, 2016

No offense to Nancy or the U$ government cocaine-smuggling rings that thrived under the regime of her anti-communist ideologue of a husband, but drugs are endemic to life.


Why I Came Out of the Psychedelic Closet

April 15, 2016

I majored in physics at Princeton. I’m a lawyer who graduated from Georgetown Law. I clerked for a Federal Judge. And, of course, I had a positive, life-changing trip on LSD.

May 3, 2016

Why I’m Staying In the Psychedelic Closet

May 17, 2016

May 25, 2016

May 31, 2016

During an earlier era of psychedelic research, the 1950s-70s, some scientists believed that in order to ethically administer psychedelics to others it was necessary to first experience them oneself.


Be Honest, Is Your Psychedelic Use Purely “Sacred”?

June 2, 2016

Isn’t it just as valid and meaningful for psychedelics to be used for diversion, entertainment, relaxation, and adventure?


Rick Doblin’s Psychedelic Dreams

June 6, 2016

In the late 70's, about seven years after Rick Doblin decided to become a psychedelic therapist and researcher at age 18, he had this potent dream that confirmed his choice of work.


The Asymmetric Risk of Coming Out in Queer and Psychedelic Communities

June 9, 2016

The risk of coming out as queer is grossly unequal to the risk of disclosing as a psychedelic user.
