Psychedelics Today founder Joe Moore recently hosted two conversations at the Aspen Psychedelic Symposium, now available through Aspen Public Radio.
The panels explore two very different but urgent edges of the psychedelic field: how novel and preclinical uses move from anecdote toward broader acceptance, and how families can speak more honestly, responsibly, and effectively with young people about drugs.
Anecdotes to Acceptance: Edge, Preclinical, and Novel Uses
This conversation looks at the outer edge of psychedelic practice and research, where personal reports, clinical curiosity, and emerging science often meet before formal systems know how to respond. The panel explores how new uses of psychedelics are discussed, evaluated, and integrated into a field that is still defining its standards.
Youth Use: How to Talk to Your Kids About Drugs
In this panel, Joe Moore hosts a practical and timely conversation about youth, drugs, honesty, and prevention. Rather than relying on fear-based messaging or silence, the discussion examines how parents, caregivers, educators, and communities can build trust and have grounded conversations with young people in a changing drug landscape.
