EP84 - Post Rainbow Serpent Wrap

Sunday, 5 February 2017 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm

Back from the dusty, sun-drenched pop-up village that is Rainbow Serpent Festival, where the battles for sensible drug policy continue. This episode of Enpsychedelia brings a variety of guests in the studio, on the phone and via Skype to chat about pill testing, Victoria's drug inquiry, post-Rainbow discussion and some psychedelic dreamings.

During the past fortnight, Port Phillip City Council voted to support trials of pill testing, following the death and hospitalisation of several people on Chapel Street in Melbourne, potentially caused by unknown novel psychoactive substances (NPS).

Guests:

US artist, musician and futurist Michael Garfield.

Dr. Monica Barratt, Drug Policy Modelling Program at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre.

Melissa Warner and Dr. Dean Wright of The Australian Psychedelic Society

Member of the (Victoria) Legislative Council and President of the Australian Sex Party Fiona Patten

Port Phillip City Council, Gateway Ward councillor and member of the Victorian Greens Ogy Simic
