Episode 1
Dr BJ Miller is best known for his Ted Talk, What Really Matters At The End Of Life https://tinyurl.com/y3tn7wfr.
BJ is not a psychedelic medicine practitioner, but has a lot to say about altered states and their role in palliative care, end of life choices, and what's going on in California as more psychedelics are decriminalised for medicinal and recreational use.
We talk with BJ about these things and more, including how he came to terms with the accident that cost him his legs and an arm at the age of 19, how it changed his perspective on both living and dying, and psychedelic experiences without the drugs.
