Join OPS for a talk with Aidan Hurst, for an exploration into strange and unusual psychoactive substances like DMT, Salvia, and highly-potent cannabinoids. There are compounds that induce downward-shifts in pitch perception to dream-inducing giraffe bone beverages. Aidan will take the audience on a safari through some of his own psychoactive inventions that probe the boundaries of the chemistry of our consciousness.

About Aidan: He has invented a handful of novel psychedelic substances, and is currently investigating a 200-year old mystery surrounding a dream-inducing caterpillar. He is hoping to use the outcome of this study to explore the neurochemistry of dreaming.

This talk will be accessible to scientists and non-scientists alike.
