Just published, Psychedelic Prophets includes the full correspondence between two pioneers in the early period of psychedelic science. Osmond "dosed" Huxley on his first mescaline experience in May 1953, the experience that gave rise to his book The Doors of Perception (1954). They went on to have a fruitful correspondence up until Huxley's death in 1963. Osmond coined the term "psychedelic" in the letters themselves. The letters showcase a deep bond between the two men and are a treasure trove of literary, philosophic, spiritual and scientific discussion and insight. They also include appearances of many luminaries of this time, including Carl Jung, Daisetz Suzuki and Alan Watts. Several of Huxley's later works, such as Brave New World Revisited (1958) and Island (1962) are described as they are being written. Though less well known, Osmond is no slouch in the writing or thinking department either. At the time, he was a young psychiatrist working as the director of a mental hospital in remote Saskatchewan, Canada. Osmond was a vocal and tireless advocate for the improvement of the treatment of people struggling with various forms of severe mental illness, in the era preceding the later backlash against psychiatry (think One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest). His sincere empathy and activities on behalf of those suffering in forgotten wards of the traditional asylums is very moving. Among much else, he defended in court the rights of Indigenous peoples to use peyote in their ceremonies. The letters are replete with wisdom, love and beauty and reflect perhaps the final era of voluminous, intellectual letter writing. They are also a masterclass in an open-minded approach to differences of opinion and ways of being.
TLDR: The word "psychedelic" was coined in this newly published collection of letters between Aldous Huxley and Humphry Osmond.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

This information isn't that widespread (unless you happen to be following the general emergence of psychedelic companies: r/shroomstocks); this post serves to raise awareness about MindMed's contribution to the psychedelic renaissance. The increased attention to the industry that Nasdaq listings will bring indicates a real renaissance is imminent. Is the field of psychiatry going to be turned on its head by psychedelic treatments? As Dr Robin Carhart-Harris contends, 'psychedelics are transforming the way we understand depression and its treatment'.
MindMed is an innovating biotech which has pioneered research into psychedelic medicine. One of their most exciting projects is located in the city which birthed LSD, at University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. They have succeeded in achieving FDA-approved Phase 2 level trials investigating LSD-assisted therapies to treat anxiety, named Project Lucy. MindMed has undertaken the most serious studies of microdosing to date, receiving approval from Dutch and Swiss health authorities to research LSD microdosing's effect on adult ADHD.
MindMed are also conducting studies, using state of the art neuroimaging, which are exploring the nature of psychoactive substances more deeply than has ever been possible, as reported in Bloomberg:
>Currently, no study has validly determined the elimination half-life of DMT and other pharmacokinetic parameters and there is limited known data on dosing regimens of pure DMT. [MindMed's] Phase 1 double blind placebo controlled 5-period crossover design study will provide a well controlled study setting to illuminate these shortcomings in the current clinical understanding of DMT...
Perhaps most groundbreaking is MindMed's research into the Ibogaine derivative, 18-MC which they have developed to treat addiction. Addiction is an [enigmatic condition for psychiatry to solve](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-you-cure-yours

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
But let me give it a shot.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
