My guest this week is venerated elder in the psychedelic community, Dr. Richard Louis Miller, who joins me to discuss his newest book, *The Adverse Effects and Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelic Medicines - A Guide to the Risks and Rewards of Using Psychedelics in Therapy.* The fundamental premise of the book is that those who promote use of psychedelics for therapy need to have honest accounting of not just the benefits, but also the risks, when using these powerful tools, and avoid painting overly-rosey pictures that are misleading and uninformed. We talk all about it and much more. Also included is a reminder about my upcoming webinar on 5-MeO-DMT Integration as well as my training course with Mindscape Institute. The free webinar is on July 15th and class starts on Sept 9. You can register for the free event at www.martinball.net/webinar
