Behind the Scenes of the "Psychedelic Renaissance"
While most psychedelics are still illegal—though this may change soon—they’ve re-entered the mainstream to an almost unimaginable degree. Perhaps you’ve heard dinner party stories of an ayahuasca retreat, seen new neighborhood ketamine clinics, or learned about parents microdosing mushrooms. How did we get here? Join four insiders as they share a ‘state of the union’: an opinionated retrospective from five years of working in and reporting on the broad church that is the psychedelics field. They’ll touch on the biggest events in science, industry, commercialization, culture, policy, and more.
