JAMES FADIMAN

James Fadiman has been involved with psychedelic research since the 1960s . He wrote the influential The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide in which he outlines best practices for safe, sacred entheogenic voyages which he learned through more than 40 years of experience. He speaks articulately about the immediate and long-term effects of psychedelic use for spiritual (high dose), therapeutic (moderate dose), and problem-solving (low dose) purposes.  

Fadiman is the person most responsible for the wide spread phenomena known as “microdosing” psychedelics. He suggested a microdosing protocol which has been used by tens of thousands of citizen scientists. He has collected over 23,000 reports from individuals who have followed his microdosing protocols.  

James Fadiman, did his undergraduate work at Harvard and his graduate work at Stanford, doing research with the Harvard Group, the West Coast Research Group in Menlo Park, and Ken Kesey. A former president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and a professor of psychology, he teaches at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, which he helped found in 1975.
