So we're not endorsing their use, but we'll discuss the emerging scientific research into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics for treating mental illness.
Most of us associate psychedelic drugs with the countercultural 1960s.
Psychologist Timothy Leary introduced them into therapy and urged young Americans to use them.
Turn on, tune in and drop out was his catch cry.
Psychedelics were made illegal in the US by 1966.
But they're making a comeback in the therapeutic space.

Ben Sessa is a consultant psychiatrist and senior research fellow in psychedelic science at Imperial College London.
He says we're in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance.
One of Ben Sess's early experiences of recreational psychedelic drug use was with MDMA, or what's commonly known as ecstasy.
MDMA or ecstasy is not a classical psychedelic like LSD, psilocybin or DMT, but it's been popular in the nightclub scene.
Whilst it can produce feelings of increased energy, pleasure, emotional warmth and distorted perception, it can also cause unpleasant and sometimes dangerous effects.
However, MDMA is being researched in controlled clinical settings as an adjunct to treatment for post traumatic stress disorder.
As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, Ben Sessa is interested in the developmental trajectory from child maltreatment to adult mental health disorders such as trauma and addiction.
This is where he believes psychedelic medicine like MDMA can play a role in effective treatment.
