by Shayla Love, June 8, 2026, The Microdose, re a conference in The Netherlands by Davivid Rose Via Flickr: "Later on Friday morning, I went to 'Living with guilt: Interview on stage between Garik Rober and Peter Gasser.' Gasser is a recent president of the Swiss Medical Society for Psycholytic Therapy and Rober is a former doctor and therapist who led an illegal group psychedelic session in which two people died. Rober explained that before leading the group session, he himself took 30 to 40 micrograms of LSD; a dose slightly higher than the typical microdose of 5 to 25 micrograms. He did so because he said he 'knew all of the patients and expected tensions between them,' and thought that taking LSD would 'open' him up to being better equipped to manage the participants. The group first took methylone, a synthetic drug with stimulant properties, and then MDMA. When Rober left the room to measure out the MDMA powder, he said he had trouble reading the scale and accidentally gave each person 10 times the expected dose. When certain participants started openly responding with agitation and distress, he gave one man diazepam, a drug that can relieve anxiety. A few minutes later, the man turned blue; Rober administered CPR while asking his wife, who was co-leading the session with him, to call emergency responders. The man died, as did another young man in the session. Rober was sent to jail that same day. He was ultimately charged with negligent homicide, and served three years in prison. (Despite his lifetime ban on practicing medicine or therapy, I noticed on his website that Rober still offers 'coaching' by donation.)" ---Shayla Love, June 8, 2026, The Microdose, re a conference in The Netherlands.
