Thanks for another excellent post! There were some real interesting points in this one. I'm most intrigued by the chemistry of psychedelics, and my ears perked up at the section about concerns surrounding drug interactions. I'm not altogether surprised that few negative interactions have been found so far, simply because of the physiological strangeness of psychedelics. But this point made me think about the unexpected interactions between all sorts of different substances. For example, the fact that many (if not most??) medications interact pretty dramatically with grapefruit (which happens to be my favorite fruit) in either a depressive or stimulatory capacity depending on the mechanism of metabolism. I'm wondering if anyone is looking into the effects of grapefruit on psychedelics? Super cool stuff!
