Episode 37

Manesh Girn is a PhD candidate in Neuroscience at McGill University specifically focusing on psychedelic research. Not only do we cover a variety of topics around the current psychedelic research, Manesh also shares his vision for the future of psychedelics and some of his philosophy on life and mental well-being.

During the ep, we talk about mystical experiences (from the research perspective), the brain under a psychedelic, psychedelics for physical healing, and what he feels is currently being underserved in the current psychedelic research.

From beginning to the very end, this conversation is fun, engaging and informative.
Be sure to check out Manesh’s YouTube channel The Psychedelic Scientist to learn more about the science of psychedelics made for people like me — non-scientists who want to be informed!
