What does LSD do in the brain? Can MDMA help heal trauma? This course will introduce you to the emerging, interdisciplinary field of psychedelic science.
Psychedelics have had a turbulent past. They have been hailed as miracle drugs, capable of relieving any psychiatric illness, but also as wildly dangerous substances.

The course Drugs that alter your Mind introduces you to the emerging, interdisciplinary field of psychedelics and assesses it from a scientific and social perspective.
