psychotropic profit w/ Jamie Brownlee & Kevin Walby
Psychedelic Capitalism
In this episode of Social Sleuth, I am joined by Jamie Brownlee & Kevin Walby, authors of “Psychedelic Capitalism”, a book that is critical of the current psychedelic industry, identifies its faults, and explores a better, less conforming future.
Jamie and Kevin unpack the so-called ‘Psychedelic Renaissance’ and how big money is swallowing up the psychedelic space. We talk about corporate takeover, the push for medicalization, and how power, inequality, and surveillance are baked into this ‘new’ but quickly fading boom. Underscoring that this is not about love and healing, but rather capturing every market.
