During the Cheltenham Science Festival in June 2017 a highly informative symposium focusing on drug use and drug research was sponsored by the BAP called\u00a0Drugs and the Brain<\/em>. The panel consisted of Dr Sally Adams from the University of Bath, a psychologist and expert in alcohol and its effects on the mind and body; Dr Robin Carhart-Harris of Imperial College London, a neuropsychopharmacologist with a keen interest in the benefits of psychedelic drugs for mental health; and Dr Suzi Gage of the University of Liverpool a psychologist interested in understanding associations between substance use and mental health and who chaired the panel. Lastly joining them was the charismatic award-winning novelist and journalist Lionel Shriver. Together they addressed the pros and cons of drug use and the implications for research, health policies, ethics and society.<\/p>\n
