What Nobody Will Tell You About Psychedelics Right Now | Shelby Hartman of @DoubleBlind
Shelby Hartman, journalist and co-founder of DoubleBlind, joins Adventures Through The Mind for Episode 211 to map what is actually happening in the psychedelic renaissance right now ā from the rise of for-profit "corporadelic" pharma and the FDA approval track, to city-level decriminalisation, to the unregulated grey market where lab tests found almost no psilocybin in products sold as mushrooms.
We explore biopiracy and indigenous reciprocity around iboga and plant medicine, who will actually get access to legal psychedelics and on whose terms, whether the clinical trial is even the right research design, and why she argues psychedelics are a lifelong relationship rather than a one-trip cure.
