James Kent at MAPS Psychedelic Science conference, April 2010

I am one of dozens of presenters at Psychedelic Science in the 21st Century, an international conference in San Jose, California, April 15-18, 2010. This will be a historic event with experts presenting on a variety of topics related to psychedelics such as: ayahuasca effects and safety, ibogaine as a treatment for substance abuse, the pharmacology of LSD, MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of PTSD, psilocybin to ease anxiety associated with cancer, and scores of other fascinating subjects. Numerous notable researchers and scholars will be part of the three full days of programming with concurrent tracks exploring clinical and spiritual applications, issues relevant to healthcare professionals, and social and cultural issues surrounding the therapeutic and recreational uses of psychedelics.

I hope you will join me there and I encourage you to register before March 15 to avoid the late registration fees. Medical doctors and healthcare professionals (including psychologists and social workers) can earn continuing medical education/continuing education credits by attending.

To be more specific, I am presenting a talk entitled "The Mechanics of Hallucination" at 11:00 AM on Saturday April 17th, 2010. This talk will correspond to the online release of 'Psychedelic Information Theory: Shamanism in the Age of Reason'. I will represent DoseNation and drop a fat PowerPoint presentation guaranteed to blow minds, and try not to embarrass myself too badly. To learn more about this event please visit the link below.
