Join Michaela Carlin for a captivating conversation with Joe Moore, host of the longest running podcast on the topic of psychedelics – Psychedelics Today – which explores the intersection of psychedelics, medicine, healing, drug policy, and much, much more.

Joe calls for a holistic approach to psychedelics, advocating for more research and funding while addressing the need for drug policy reform. He emphasizes the importance of responsible use and regulation, parallels the challenges in assessing the safety and benefits of psychedelics to that of alcohol and tobacco, and advocates for individual sovereignty and choice. Looking to the future, Joe believes psychedelics have the potential to reshape society as a whole and imagines a day when LSD will be available in the pharmacy at your local Walmart.

Joe Moore co-founded Psychedelics Today in 2015 with Kyle Buller. As CEO, Joe has created one of the world's best known psychedelic podcasts, blogs and training platforms. Joe combines twenty years of avid research and training in psychedelics with twenty years of experience in software and multinational project management. Joe is an expert in transpersonal breathwork and much sought after international speaker on the intersecting subjects of psychedelic medicine and healing, breathwork, drug policy, medical innovation, international justice and environmentalism.
