Psymposia breaks down Rick Doblin’s recent appearance on 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson’s podcast where he discusses MAPS' work with republican congressmen Daniel Crenshaw and Matt Gaetz; requiring a license to use drugs; moving towards MDMA therapy for active duty troops; and dosing hundreds of millions of people in order to bring about a global spiritual awakening.

LIVESTREAM: A License to Trip? | Rick Doblin on Marianne Williamson’s podcast

Psychedelic stonks aren’t the only thing on the rise. We recently surpassed 5k subscribers on YouTube! Ohhh numbers. To celebrate we’re taking questions from readers and listeners. Submit your questions to hi(at)psymposia(dot)com or tweet us @psymposia You can ask us anything. Like, our favorite pizza, or how we do our reporting, or what we think of season 5 of “Billions.” We were going to spend the first hour of this stream on the 5k Q&A and the second hour discussing psychedelic stonks, but in the wake of the outcry around Martin Ball's admissions of vomiting on clients, touching their genitals, and engaging in other disturbing practices with people under the influence of 5-MeO-DMT, we've decided to discuss the continued unfolding of this story in addition to other current events. We plan to cover stonks on a future stream, but given the disturbing justifications and apologetics around Dr. Ball's behaviors from various practitioners and community members, we felt it was important to prioritize this discussion.

LIVESTREAM: 5k Q&A + No, It's Not OK To Vomit on Clients & Touch Their Genitals

With the recent events we’ve decided to change up tomorrow’s (Jan 21) livestream. Instead of talking about psychedelic clickbait, we’ll be discussing creeping fascism in psychedelia, including Psymposia’s Politics & Ecology Editor, Brian Pace’s story “Lucy in the Sky with Nazis: Psychedelic and the Far Right”; the “QAnon Shaman,” 8chan, MDMA-funder and Parler cofounder, Rebecca Mercer, and recent attempts to revive an organization started by Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) and transform it into a hub of pro-Trump and anti-Semitic conspirituality. Psymposia offers leftist perspectives on drugs, politics, and culture. Support us on Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/psymposia Listen to the Plus Three podcast https://www.psymposia.com/plusthree
