Philadelphia bookstore lecture

Dr. Edmunds gave a powerful talk on altruism, social justice,
breaking down barriers, building community, and
ending oppression at a lecture at 704 South St. in Philadelphia. The
talk was based on his book, The Meeting of Two Persons available at http://lulu.com/voice4kids

Psychiatric drugs and psychedelics

At a lecture I was asked to respond in regards to my
concerns about psychiatric drugs whereas I have
supported research into medical marijuana and psychedelics,
my response is that psychiatric drugs are suppressive,
whereas the others if used responsibly could help make
others more open and provide pain management as well
as other benefit without masking problems and shutting down
creativity.
