“Psychedelics are multifaceted and complex. The lens through which we look at, explore and study them matters. When we swap out the lens, we might get a different result. Right now the primary lens is through mental illness, which is absoltely needed… But we need to be aware of how much the lens of mental illness is being put on the entire space and influencing the outcomes.”
