I definitely think it shouldn't be outlawed, you know, pretty hardcore libertarian on all the drug legalization stuff. And then I do wonder exactly how these things work. Probably the classical world version of it was that it was something that you did in a fairly controlled setting. You didn't do it every day.

Where do you think that line is? Like, you know, should everyone do one ayahuasca trip? Or if you do an ayahuasca trip a year, is that...

I was very bullish on this stuff happening. And the way I thought about it four or five years ago was that it was a hack to doing a double-blind study. Because the FDA always has this concept that you need to do a double-blind study. You give one-third of the people, you give a sugar pill, and two-thirds, you give the real drug. And you have to

And no one knows whether they have the sugar pill or the real drug. And then you see how it works. And science requires a double-blind study. And then my anti-double-blind study theory is if it really works, you don't need a double-blind study. It should just work.

And there's something sociopathic about doing double-blind studies because one-third of the people who have this bad disease are getting a sugar pill. And we shouldn't even be – like maybe it's immoral to do double-blind studies.
