Robert Forte on Clubhouse

Bio

Since 1978 i’ve been most interested in psychedelics and have pursued that interest as a student, conference organizer, researcher, outlaw, guide, college and graduate school instructor, editor, publisher, and now as a philosopher who loves the stories of these marvelous medicines, what they’ve done and can do.... I’ve had the great luck to have studied or work directly with many of the founders of the psychedelic movements and leading scholars of history and psychology of the religious experience including RG Wasson, Stanislav Grof, Albert Hofmann, Timothy Leary, Huston Smith, Mircea Eliade, Alexander Shulgin, and many others whose work Ive published in 3 anthologies. The first, Entheogens and the Future of Religion, was considered by Huston Smith to be “the best single inquiry into the religious significance of psychedelic mysticism that has yet appeared.” For many years Ive studied, explored, snd taught the esoteric and healing dimensions of psychedelics but lately I find myself more interested in the historical, sociological and political aspects of the various psychedelic movements of the 20th and 21st centuries.... Glad to join you, thanks for the invitation to your Clubhouse....Im looking forward to sharing ideas about all of this...
