Dax Jackson is a community health activist who began studying psychopharmacology and psychedelic harm reduction 15 years ago after having several friends die and experience psychotic episodes as a result of using psychedelics and other drugs. In addition to teaching harm reduction classes at festivals and community events, Dax has spent years interviewing and collaborating with an interdisciplinary network of psychedelic safety experts to help create our educational offerings. His subfields of interest include testing and measurement protocols, harm reduction curriculum development, and tracking trends in underground markets.
