We’re releasing a new series on the past, present & future of psychedelic conversion therapy. We examine its history in psychedelic research, influencers who pathologize queerness & what it means to welcome pro-conversion therapy advocates into a movement built around “healing.”
The crew discusses AtaiBeckley's acquisition by Eli Lilly, The Wall Street Journal's mini-documentary on 5-MeO-DMT, and a recent death that occurred during a psychedelic retreat. New episode out tomorrow on YouTube and all podcast apps.
