  • Annoying script-reading

    Please stop reading the scripts. Spend some time getting to know what you’re going to say and make it more casual and easy to listen to. It’s painful to hear these stilted voices just reading text. I can’t do it. We are not babies—we are professionals.

Q: How do you define the term psychedelic, and how do they work in the brain?
The term has evolved over time, and while historically, psychedelics were referred to as psychotomimetics or hallucinogens, the term psychedelic is more fitting, as it refers to substances that activate the serotonin receptor in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2 receptor.
