Show Notes

Zach Leary is a journalist, psychedelic facilitator, and the host of the MAPS Podcast. He joins us today to share observations from a lifetime of experience at the forefront of underground psychedelic culture and his current experience as an integral part of today's psychedelic mainstreaming.


Zach has a live online 8 week Psychedelic Studies Intensive Spring '24 Cohort course kicking off June 5th and running through August 1st, which we talk about as well as other fascinating topics like the Grateful Dead as a form of western ritual, the gap between demand for psychedelic experiences and legally available psychedelics, and the pivot from psychedelic initiation as a form of 'spiritual seeking' into it's medicalized framing today.
