In this episode, we must discuss drugs. Many people experiment with recreational drugs like Cannabis and MDMA every now and then. But do we know how they affect our brain? Although some research has been done on their negative effects, it is only recently that scientists started to do research on the medicinal effects of Cannabis, MDMA, ketamine and psychedelics. We talk about this and much more with our two guests: Olivier Otten and Sebastiaan van Bruchem. Olivier is an art student and tells us about his experience with Cannabis and how he felt it helped him with his attention disorder. Sebastiaan, who finished a Masters in Brain and Cognitive Science, explains what science can tell us about the effect of drugs on the brains.
