[NEW EPISODE] Freedom to Explore Our Minds

“The mission of Mind Body Health & Politics is to expand consciousness, stimulate thought, enhance mental and physical health, and encourage community.” — Dr. Richard L. Miller

I’m delighted to share my fascinating conversation with Ethan Nadelmann, an old friend and leading thinker and advocate for progressive drug policy reform.

Ethan and I go way back. I took LSD in the 1960s and saw its therapeutic potential, prompting me to get involved in this critical issue. I also witnessed the benefits of MDMA therapy firsthand when it was still legal. Given these experiences, I served on the board of the Marijuana Policy Project, hoping to form a coalition with groups like the Drug Policy Alliance that Ethan later founded.

In fact, I hosted a fundraiser at my home over 20 years ago where Ethan and I first connected. The District Attorney came to show his support, but couldn’t be seen around cannabis - quite a different time! Ethan has been an invaluable ally as we’ve worked to shift drug policies from a criminal justice framework toward a public health approach over the decades since.
