Sunday 7/28/2024 10am "The Implications of Psychedelics for the Alleviation of Suffering, the Bettering of the Well, and the Enrichment of Religion"
Bob Jesse has been instrumental in restarting and re-legitimizing mainstream interest in psychedelics. He brought Dr. Roland Griffiths into the research and sought FDA approvals, and he assisted a key religious liberty case involving an entheogen, ultimately decided by the U.S. Supreme Court favorably, 8-0. He has extensive knowledge of the effects of psychedelics on persons with illness (physical and psychological) and on normal healthy persons. Prior to this, he was an engineer with Oracle. He left the company at a young age in order to establish the Council on Spiritual Practices (csp.org), the vehicle that informed and supported his work in the psychedelic field.
