Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
Spieth Thanks His Chiropractor After Historic Masters Win
Jordan Spieth didn't just capture the hearts of golf enthusiasts worldwide with his record-setting, wire-to-wire victory at the 79th Masters Tournament; the 21-year-old prodigy also endeared himself to DCs around the globe by giving his doctor of chiropractic kudos during the traditional Green Jacket Ceremony following the event.
In his speech, Spieth made sure to thank the team "that allow my on-course efforts to come out": his instructor, his trainer – and his chiropractor, Dr. Troy Van Biezen. "They are the best at what they do and I put full trust in them," Spieth said.
