Meditation and Psilocybin

Roland Griffiths discusses the similarities and differences between meditation and psilocybin as methods for exploring the nature of the mind. He explains how meditation can lead to changes in brain activity and how psilocybin can provide a "crash course" in understanding the mind, but emphasizes that meditation is still the tried and true method for stabilizing awareness. The conversation also touches on the long-term effects of meditation, including changes in gene expression and telomere length.
