As an undergraduate psychology major striving to become involved in entheogenic research, I struggle with how to market myself with a fear of being ostracized or exiled. I recall reading Andrew Sewell’s article from 2006, “So You Want to be a Psychedelic Researcher?” on your website and he speaks of laying low and hiding in the shadows. I’m curious as to if the conversation has changed since then and if those within academia have stepped out of the psychedelic closet.

Additionally, how would you recommend bridging the gap between psychopharmacological research and entheogenic research? One of my worst fears is going through all this schooling to end up doing research for a pharmaceutical company. >_<“

Thank you for taking your time to do this and best of luck with phase 3!

Thank you so much for your time and response!

And I'm sure it's just me nerding out that Rick Doblin responded!!

A lot of valuable information to take in and process.

I hope our paths lead us to meet one day!

Cheers.

Are there any internships opening up on the near future?

And if not internships, how would you recommend one get involved further than just volunteer work?

Hopefully you're still answering questions...

What is phase 4 looking like? Do you think there is going to be an increased need for clinical positions or research positions?
