- When it comes to psychedelics, there's a lot we don't know. The same is true of the practitioners, institutions, and communities that have sprung up around psychedelic therapy and guiding. We explore the intersecting professional and social relationships of a few different guides and institutions. We also discuss Michael Pollan's impact on the current psychedelic landscape.

Thank you all for all of these Power Tripping sessions as well as the podcast Power Trip. I have not been able to stop consuming your content. I am a LCSW in Newburgh, New York and I work as psychotherapist with poor and working class people here. I now identify as a ¨cheerleader in recovery¨ in relationship to the ¨new face of psychedelics¨ thanks to all your incredible informing and reporting about the power dynamics at play in this so called renaissance. I identify as a leftist and was originally assuming similar lefty vibes from the people working for medicalization, now I see I was mistaken. It is tricky because it is easy to step into the psychedelics community with this assumption. Again, thanks for putting yourselves out there and making these really important critiques. I am a huge fan.
Speaking of social networks... A few days ago, on March 10th, the Beckley Foundation facebook page posted the "A Precautionary Approach to Touch in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy" article.
How nice!
Then yesterday they posted something that starts with "Our friends over at Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) blabla".
Although I’ve not previously spent much time engaged with podcasts, in considering various production aspects of your series *Power Trip*-from audio levels, pacing of presentation, writing, editing, content, time spent on “call back’ reminders about characters or situations previously mentioned, episode length, supplementary materials, and the balance of time spent on interviews and first-person descriptions vs. time spent on backstory and narrative-I have to opine that *Power Trip* is as good as, and often much better than, anything else I’ve listened to, on any topic. Within the realm of psychedelia, it’s the most in-depth and important news story that I can recall having come across. (The more casual post-episode video commentaries providing geeky levels of additional detail are enjoyable as well.)
Shining a light onto the disturbing history and unethical contemporary actions of unsavory people and groups, exposing the questionable or dangerous policies adopted by various organizations, making public an accounting of the numerous heart-wrenching, disturbing, and infuriating instances where direct harm was caused by purported providers of therapy, while drawing attention to the lack of balance and scientific methodology that’s often a hallmark of psychedelic cheerleaders, decriminalization champions, and corporadelic upstarts, can exert a rough psychological toll on individuals such as yourselves, bold enough to expose our counterculture’s ugly underbelly. Please know that your watchdog work in this arena is appreciated. Such reporting is undoubtedly valued by all clear-thinking heads who encounter it. Kudos!
‘MAPS’ is designing a RICK Talk in place of TED Talks.
Dave salvaged the beginning
The # of life coaches flocking to get certs is disgusting. The harm these folks could do might not even be immediately apparent, but surface yrs later when the patient needs more therepy to untangle the mess that was created. For the patients who stand to gain the most from a psychedelic therepy sesh, a life coach with a psychedelic therapist cert will likely do far more harm than good.
Yes this is a public health issue.
And since you all are one of the few addressing it
I highly suggest that you learn ways to ratchet up getting your message out.
Some suggestions. Along with your very long podcasts put out a number of short clips.
Under 12 mins.
With very focused information.
Attention grabbing titles. Get creative.
Add some imagery. There's a lot more you can use here.
Study some youtube marketing basics.
Communication studies can be of great value.
No neccesarily fun I know, but getting your message heard is as important as having one worth sharing.
Seems it matters not if one IS highly credentialed in this field, in this instance. What I know from the California and Oregon Boards of Psychology(and whichever gov't agency that licenses social workers, whether unpaid interns or employed as "peer counselors") is, there is no real integrity or codes of ethics when it comes to carrying out the latest thing that will get their people in the trenches they need to cover for their laissez-faire attitude about struggling human beings, for profit/ nonprofit points. To me it seems like they're on the take. Disaster capitalists, on the taxpayer dime. Thanks for calling out CIIS who I promised to meet in hell.
CIIS’ statement that no policies were changed regarding university sanctioned events following Ferrer’s departure is accurate. The existing Substance Avoidance Policy in the faculty handbook already forbid use of illegal substances during university functions. The following additional statement was added to the faculty handbook after Ferrer resigned: “CIIS faculty are prohibited from using their standing as professors to
assist others to illegally use entheogenic, psychedelic, enactogenic
(amphetamine-like, e.g., ecstasy, MDMA, 5-APB) and other controlled
substances. Academic research approved by the University does not
constitute such assistance.”
Today the president announced an independent assessment of psychedelics at CIIS. This will include psychedelic coursework in all academic departments and Public Programs, among others. This “Psychedelics/Therapy Assessment Group” will comprise external experts in the field who will audit CIIS’ current policies, procedures, and research and clinical practices; meet with faculty, staff, students, and alumni; and produce recommendations for a new benchmark “Ethical and Professional Standards” for the teaching of psychedelic medicines.
