Keynote: Jame Fadiman, PhD  How can two high doses of psilocybin help people with treatment resistant depression (with an average span of 20 years) obtain full remission that lasts for months? Why is MDMA therapy showing an 83% level of efficacy in treating PTSD while current treatments, at most, show only a 25% improvement rate? What are the dangers and challenges associated with psychedelic use in a recreational or therapeutic environment?  How can microdosing LSD alter creative and cognitive abilities? How can it improve so many different physical conditions? A large sample comparison of the effectiveness of microdosing, conventional treatment and high dose self-administered psychedelics for a number of physical and mental conditions.
