EXPANDING CONNECTIVITY: A Conversation with Amanda Feilding from the Beckley Foundation

Since its inception, the Beckley Foundation has been at the forefront of the development of evidence-based drug policy. Through a series of pivotal international seminars at the House of Lords, over 50 much-cited reports and numerous meetings with thought-leaders, academics, policy-makers and the public, Amanda has ensured that the Beckley Foundation is a leader in the movement for drug policy reform. Through her work with the Beckley Foundation, Amanda is bridging the gap between science and policy, allowing them to complement and inform one another, ultimately harnessing our knowledge of the benefits of many prohibited substances to maximise human wellbeing. In this conversation, we dive deep into Amanda’s personal life experience and work in the field over the last several decades. I know that this conversation will be the first of many with Amanda, and I hope you enjoy getting to know this Psychedelic Queen as much as I did!
