Show Notes

Zach Haigney is the author of the Trip Report, a weekly newsletter that synthesizes psychedelic news in the areas of medicine, science, and policy. Looking at the big picture, we discuss where the field is at and where it is going. We review the hype cycle and identify why psychedelics tend to be aggrandized, and Zach discusses his view of how the psychedelic space is an ecosystem filled with checks and balances that is incredibly complex and unique in our culture. We talk about why the DEA doesn’t seem to want to mess with entheogenic churches, and what that means for the public in terms of access. Finally, Zach shares his perspective on the role of capitalistic influences on the emerging field of psychedelic therapy, including Big Pharma, patents, and psychedelics that don’t have psychedelic effects. What does that mean? Come listen and find out the latest news and get caught up on what is happening in psychedelics!
