“…the clauses represent something just as corrosive to the quality of ideas circulating in the field: the formalization of discourse-limiting behavior at psychedelic conferences.” psymposia.com/magazine/psych…

“How a presenter could provide scholarly commentary about topics like psychedelic harm reduction, clinical trial design, or ethics without acknowledging the many controversies involving MAPS — arguably the industry’s most prominent organization — is unclear.”

New pod w @RussellHausfeld. We discuss the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference speaker contracts that limit when & where presenters can speak, & a "MAPS Reputation" clause warning speakers to not "tarnish" the organization's "reputation and goodwill" 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/5grqOP…

At #psychedelicscience2023, conflict of interest slides were intentionally removed from speaker slide presentations & buried in the conf app. Unless the audience checks the app, they would have no idea if a speaker declared a COI. So here they are #PS2023 psymposia.com/magazine/maps-…

Psychedelic science is .. not like the others. This is from the 30-clause contract presenters need to sign for the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference in Denver. What on Earth? (via: psymposia.com/magazine/psych…)

Oh, also, no criticism allowed—after all, criticism can easily be interpreted as "discrediting"

Christian Angermayer of atai Life Sciences retweets and cosigns a defense of anti-vaxx candidate RFK by ousted white nationalist Tucker Carlson. He shared the stage with Rick Doblin at the ongoing #PsychedelicScience2023 #rightwingpsychedelia

During Psymposia’s investigation for Power Trip, we contacted MMA advisors regarding abuse allegations re: Bourzat & CPAT accreditation. While some had no idea they were listed as MMA advisors and/or resigned, most shrugged it off. Here are several responses we received 👇

The majority of the replies above are from *prominent* psychedelic researchers. The top dogs. We reported on some of this over a year ago. Scroll down to the MMA section psymposia.com/magazine/psych…

The psychedelic hype is more dangerous than the drugs. You can be both pro-psychedelics & anti-hype! See my love letter to the psychedelic field from Breaking Convention '23 Breaking Convention: youtu.be/gY_VYYT_Ens Thanks to the Source Research Foundation for supporting my travel!

This new paper, which argues that the AI hype & psychedelics hype are interconnected, is possibly my most ambitious work. It synthesizes all of my previous work, from right-wing psychedelia to psychedelic capitalism & suggestibility in clinical trials:  /1 akjournals.com/view/journals/…

I’m happy to share new work on how hype works to mythologize, market, and institutionalize psychedelic-assisted therapy (P-AT) to fit a neoliberal medical paradigm that prioritizes profit above all else. In collaboration with Dr James Davies (PhD) 💭 and Neşe Devenot, PhD 🍉 (@NeseLSD.bsky.social). 1/ akjournals.com/view/journals/…

This Thursday's Conspirituality features three members of Psymposia discussing psychedelic capitalism. I didn't talk to Brian Pace (@brianpace.bsky.social) for this one, but his co-author Neşe Devenot, PhD 🍉 (@NeseLSD.bsky.social) dropped serious knowledge, and I might need to connect with both of them to discuss this new paper!

Psychedelic Capitalism is the focus of this week's Conspirituality. Thanks to normie.bsky.social Neşe Devenot, PhD 🍉 (@NeseLSD.bsky.social) & David Nickles from Psymposia for joining me for this far-ranging and important conversation about the past and future of psychedelics. conspirituality.net/episodes/173-p…
