Trip Reports

Rich Haridy

Psychedelics have been one of the most exciting – and controversial – developments in mental health treatment in recent years.

Journalist Rich Haridy has been reporting on this space for years. In that time he has seen many shifts, including Australia has moving from one of the strictest to one of the most progressive nations when it comes to the ways that psychedelics can being studied in labs and in experimental trials.

But what are these mind-altering drugs actually doing? And are psychedelics about to hit the mainstream?

In Trip Reports, Rich Haridy does a deep dive into the experimental science and treatments happening across Australia and the world, from treating PTSD in victims of floods in northern NSW to the psychedelic qualities of acacia that has been nicknamed ‘Aussiehuasca’ to scientists studying microdosing and its effects (or lack thereof).
