  <title>Plants of the Gods: S8E2 Dennis McKenna on new discoveries and emerging psychedelic science (part 2)</title>
  <description> This is a special joint episode of&amp;amp;nbsp;Plants of the Gods&amp;amp;nbsp;and&amp;amp;nbsp;Brainforest&amp;amp;nbsp;Café.&amp;amp;nbsp;   Host&amp;amp;nbsp;Dr.&amp;amp;nbsp;Mark Plotkin continues his conversation with ethnopharmacologist&amp;amp;nbsp;Dr.&amp;amp;nbsp;Dennis McKenna. They reflect on the origins and impact of the ESPD conferences, launched in 1967, and how these landmark gatherings helped shape the field of ethnopharmacology.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   The discussion also explores the enduring legacy of Richard Evans Schultes and his profound influence on ethnobotany. Dennis emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary research and the respectful integration of Indigenous knowledge into modern medicine—an approach that&amp;amp;nbsp;remains&amp;amp;nbsp;vital to the future of&amp;amp;nbsp;psychedelic&amp;amp;nbsp;science.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   Show notes:&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   McKenna Academy&amp;amp;nbsp;https://mckenna.academy/mka-podcast/&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   ESPD Books:&amp;amp;nbsp;https://mckenna.academy/mka-programs/espd55/#espdbooks&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;  </description>
