“I’m really excited about this course because psychedelics have been misunderstood for so long. We’re at this awesome point in time where the research is starting to show us the possibilities. I want more people to learn about psychedelics from an educational perspective backed by science.”
Shirelle Noble
“I think, honestly, everybody should take this course. Everyone has had probably really bad drug education growing up. It’s important from a community perspective that everyone understands how this stuff works in our brains, and how it can be helpful for people who are suffering, so that there’s more awareness and we can start to decrease the stigma around these substances.”
