In this deeply personal conversation, Rick Doblin founder of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) shares his extraordinary four-decade journey to bring MDMA-assisted therapy to mainstream medicine.

Rick opens up about:

🔹 How a manuscript by Czech psychiatrist Stanislav Grof in 1972 crystallized his life's mission

🔹 His early struggles with LSD at New College, facing ego dissolution and the fear he couldn't overcome

🔹 The pivotal 1984 moment when he first treated a PTSD patient with MDMA

🔹 Why MAPS took in investors and how "traditional pharma thinking" clashed with psychedelic culture

🔹 The real reasons behind the FDA's 2024 rejection and what the "quiet period" cost them

🔹 Training 55 Ukrainian therapists for MDMA therapy amidst war

🔹 The rise of hundreds of psychedelic churches across America

🔹 His vision for drug policy reform beyond medicalization

From his first meeting with Grof to working with the wounded healer Marcella (now MAPS' lead trainer 41 years later), Rick reflects on the synchronicities, setbacks, and unwavering hope that have defined this movement.

"Before you know it, time goes by. That's what I'm saying from working with MAPS for almost 40 years now."
