Can psychedelics be used to treat mental illness?

Drugs are bad… but are all drugs bad? What is it that categorizes some drugs as bad or ok to use occasionally? Why do some drugs have a stigma against them, while others are commonly portrayed on the big screen as the cool thing to do? And can some drugs, in controlled and monitored doses, be used to treat mental illness? Find out in this episode of Boiling Point at Eastside FM.

In this weeks episode Anastasia, your host, is chatting with Dr. Sam Banister. Sam is a scientist but also an entrepreneur.
