Dose Negligence - Why the UK's drug research is failing

Season 1 Episode 1065 Published 2 years, 7 months ago
Description

There’s a revolution in the way doctors are treating mental health, but the UK could be at risk of falling behind.


Dr. Kate Devlin speaks to Dr. Matt Wall, a cognitive neuroscientist at Imperial College London and Invicro, to discuss microdosing, legal red tape and what happens when you give an octopus MDMA. 

  • "Drug policy isn’t on the agenda for any of the main UK parties. They just don’t care.” 
  • "After the trip wears off, the antidepressant effect can last for days or even months.”
  • “Current legislation makes it incredibly difficult to research psychedelics.”
