Psychedelic Science 2017 was a week-long conference held in Oakland that brought together 3,000 participants - neuroscientists, psychiatrists, anthropologists, artists and healthcare specialists. The goal was to share and discuss the latest research on psychedelics and medical marijuana. Here are videos of the lectures from the event.

Some videos to start:

Grof certified holotropic breathwork practitioner, eh? Sounds legit to me.

I just started listening to Michael Pollan's book last night, so I'm happy to see this.
So far in my 'reading', I believe he mentioned that Grof got into the breathwork after his LSD studies became illegal.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Pollan's book so it's cool to see some of the 'characters' in video. Thanks!

Pollan's new book is very much worth reading.
