Rick Doblin: The Man Behind the 'Psychedelic '20s'
In June, I traveled to Denver with Zach Weissmueller to cover the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference, which was organized by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a group that has been working to gain approval of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD and related ailments since the late 1980s.

What a Trip: Rick Doblin’s Historic Journey to Legalize Psychedelics
IN PRODUCTION / FROM EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DARREN ARONOFSKY
Official Site: WhatATrip.Film
A feature-length documentary sharing Rick Doblin's 50 year journey to legalize psychedelics, starting with MDMA to treat PTSD. When he was 18, Rick Doblin decided to become a Psychedelic Psychotherapist, but first he would have to change the law. To do so, Rick transformed from a college dropout with a pet wolf into a Harvard Kennedy School Phd grad, who wrote his PhD thesis on how to take psychedelics through the FDA approval process. Rick founded the non-profit MAPS.org and went on to raise over 200 million dollars to fund FDA approved clinical research with psychedelics . Decades later, MDMA is on track to become a legal prescription drug to treat PTSD and Rick's psychedelic dream is close to becoming a reality that could change the world of mental health and culture.
