We’re releasing a new series on the past, present & future of psychedelic conversion therapy. We examine its history in psychedelic research, influencers who pathologize queerness & what it means to welcome pro-conversion therapy advocates into a movement built around “healing.”

The crew discusses AtaiBeckley's acquisition by Eli Lilly, The Wall Street Journal's mini-documentary on 5-MeO-DMT, and a recent death that occurred during a psychedelic retreat. New episode out tomorrow on YouTube and all podcast apps.

We profile Christian Angermayer — the billionaire behind Enhanced Games, Compass Pathways, and Atai Life Sciences. A friend of Peter Thiel, he argues psychedelics can help society “adjust” to the tech-driven dystopia he and his circle are building. youtu.be/7cSc4WHM-D0

I helped write this response from SSDP to the Dear Colleague letters by SAMHSA last month. People who use drugs deserve more. Every pause in care carries risk and every barrier to harm reduction/treatment could be the difference of life or death. Give it a read here: ssdp.org/blog/samhsa-...

Anti-trans hate groups petitioning FDA for registry of trans women, crackdown on transition, newly revealed document shows
