This conversation between Shelby Hartman and Dennis Walker focuses on the arrival of the psychedelic trade show (think ketamine clinics and shroom gummies in a convention center), comedy as a tool for political commentary, and the corporatization of psychedelics. As a seasoned satirist and journalist, Walker discusses the "roots versus suits" dilemma in the psychedelic space, a topic he often highlights through his work at major events like the Wonderland Conference. We cover the tension between grassroots movements and the burgeoning pharmaceutical influence in psychedelics, exemplified by organizations like MAPS and figures such as Rick Doblin. We discuss how newcomers to the psychedelic world, even when well-intentioned, sometimes don’t understand the complicated dynamics within the ecosystem before leading ceremony or taking to stages as experts.. The episode finally discusses the importance of maintaining a balance between honoring traditional wisdom and embracing the potential benefits that structured psychedelic therapy can offer when integrated into Western healthcare systems.

Might want to innumerate what MAPS stands for in the title I thought you were discussing Minor Attracted Persons. WHEW! Whoever picked that should have googled it first lol

I really appreciate all the work you're both doing. I'm a bit surprised at hearing so many psychonauts make ridiculous claims about the "psychedelic experience". Somehow they are able to "explain" infinity among other things, when they're not busy shitting all over the entire scientific community. I mean, is that really necessary? Trying to put something into words that nobody will ever be able to describe in terms of concepts seems like an obviously misleading practice. There's plenty to learn besides "the ultimate answers to every question about reality".

It's difficult to explain a personalized, profound experience and then promote that experience as part of your marketing. It's ridiculous.

The MAPS Conference in June was an absolute joke. I felt so nauseous from seeing the corporate influence of the space/movement - not that there should be any surprises, but it was just so visceral. As a current psychedelic therapist the only ethical practice is free or barter. Capital x psychedelic transformation don't mix.
