Mac McClelland joins the MAPS Podcast for the first original episode of content for the show. Mac is an award winning journalist who wrote the article “The Psychedelic Miracle” for Rolling Stone magazine. The sub headline reads: "How some doctors are risking everything to unleash the healing power of MDMA, ayahuasca and other hallucinogens.”
Mac’s fantastically in depth journalistic prose combined with
her own personal experience with psychedelically assisted
psycho-therapy creates an epic discovery into the world of
psychedelic research and the doctors that engage in it.
Mac was interviewed by Zach Leary and the podcast is
reflective of not only the Rolling Stone piece but also of her own
personal journey, the current landscape of psychedelic research and
an examination into corners of the country engaged in this work
that you might know even exist.

of Irritable Hearts: A PTSD Love
