Dr. Alok Kanojia (Dr. K)

So when I hear people talk about the excitement of it, what I oftentimes find is that there is a very, there's just a huge lack of sophistication about understanding how psychedelics work and like really what they do.

So just to give you all a couple of examples.

So as a medical doctor, you know, if you ask me, hey, does this treatment work?

There are all kinds of questions we ask, like what is the dose?

which psychedelic are we talking about?

Are all the psychedelics the same?

Do different doses of different psychedelics produce different effects?

Which ones are effective for addictions?

Which ones are effective for trauma?

How effective are they?

How long does the efficacy last?

If I use psilocybin, does it help me for a year?

Does it cure me for life?

Does it help me for a day?

What about microdosing?

So there's a bunch of details around psychedelics that

which people don't usually talk about.

But if you want to make an informed decision, you need to understand all of those things.

So this is how I think about them as a psychiatrist.

And I'd like to share this information with you, which I think honestly is not that complicated.
