The Science of Psychedelics

Can LSD and psilocybin provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression and anxiety? Robin Carhart-Harris is a neuroscientist and head of the Imperial Centre for Psychedelic Research, which builds on over a decade of pioneering psychedelic research, including a clinical trial that has kick-started global efforts to develop psilocybin therapy into a licensed treatment for depression. The Centre focuses on two main research themes: the use of psychedelics in mental health care; and as tools to probe the brain’s basis of consciousness. The Centre is also working to develop a research clinic that could help to gather additional clinical evidence and become a prototype for the licensed psychedelic care facilities of the future.see more

Lucasfilm Project in Marin Fading to Black?

Marin County supervisors are working to convince filmmaker George Lucas to revive his plans to build a large-scale digital film studio. Lucas pulled his plan to do so earlier this week, saying neighborhood opposition in Lucas Valley was too fierce. We discuss the controversy over the proposed development, which supporters say would bring hundreds of jobs and tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue.

Guests:

Steve Kinsey, president of the Marin County Board of Supervisors

Liz Dale, president of the Lucas Valley Estates Homeowners Association, which opposes the Lucasfilm development

Nels Johnson, reporter for the Marin Independent Journal
