Psychedelic History - From 20th Century Outlaws to 21st Century Mainstream

Join Zach Leary and Jessica Depatie as they explore the inspiring and turbulent history of psychedelics from the mid-20th Century to now. Psychedelics burst onto the therapeutic scene in the 1950s and showed great promise for use as a therapeutic tool and then the counterculture exploded and took psychedelics with them. With that came a cultural revolution not seen in America perhaps ever. Our entire world was up for grabs. 

For a variety of reasons worth exploring, fear and propaganda shut legitimate psychedelic research down and criminalized their use. Fast forward 50 years and we see a resurgence in psychedelic research and the onset of an entirely new healing paradigm known as psychedelic-assisted therapy. 

Looking forward - who controls the modern psychedelic movement? Is it based in cognitive liberty with respect to indigenous use or will late-stage capitalism prove to be too much for psychedelics to handle?
