"We are, in fact, leftists. We do think that we should spend a lot of effort & organization improving material conditions for humanity...[so] we have a better chance of having better trips individually & collectively when we open ourselves up in these chemical ways." @brianpace.bsky.social

"Just up the Dose?: #TherapyCults are Influencing Psychedelic Medicine Standards" Psymposia @psymposia.bsky.social 13 Apr 2026 [0:30:40] #Cult https://s.cultpodcasts.com/ez2zoomzt0uHe3CpH1OVgw

Just Up the Dose?: Therapy Cults are Influencing Psychedelic Medicine Standards

It has become a problematic standard practice in the psychedelic therapy industry to increase drug dosages after patients display red flag symptoms. Psymposia discusses a recent Wall Street Journal article about these practices as they manifest in the ketamine industry; the psychedelic industry’s historic normalization of these practices; and recent attempts to convince lawmakers to protect psychedelic providers from liability for standard forms of medical malpractice. Together, these developments highlight why allowing a therapy cult to influence the norms of psychedelic medicine puts the public at risk. Footnotes: She Hoped Ketamine Would Rewire Her Brain.

Andrew Callaghan helped spread egregious misinformation about our organization and incited his audience to "destroy" us in retaliation for drawing attention to SA in psychedelic therapy.
