In a recent episode of the "Hard Fork" podcast, hosts Kevin Roose and Casey Newton sat down with veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher to discuss a personal experiment: trying ketamine for the first time on her new CNN series, "Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever."
Swisher, known for her sharp commentary on the tech industry, shared candid insights into the experience, reflecting on both the therapeutic potential and the cultural fascination with psychedelics. The conversation explored how ketamine, once primarily known as a party drug, is now being studied for its effects on depression and mental health.
The journalist described the session as eye-opening, though she stopped short of recommending it for everyone. The podcast segment has sparked discussion among listeners about the growing trend of microdosing and psychedelic therapies in Silicon Valley and beyond.
