Psychedelics have really been in the news lately, starting with the presidential Executive Order in April. I wanted to discuss this as well as some of the hot topics in the psychedelics landscape so who better to talk with than some of my friends who are true experts in the field! First up this week is Ismail Lourido Ali. Ismail is the Co-Executive Director of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), a leading nonprofit that has been doing amazing work in the psychedelic space for the last 40 years. Ismail has been actively participating in the drug policy reform movement for over a decade, informed by half a lifetime of diverse personal experience with psychedelics and other substances. Previously as the Director of Policy & Advocacy at MAPS, Ismail supported the design, building, and implementation of psychedelic policy reform across the country and world. He also co-founded and co-chaired the Board of the Psychedelic Bar Association and is licensed to practice law in the state of California. Ismail has advised, is formally affiliated with, or has served in leadership roles for numerous organizations in the drug policy ecosystem.
