How Identity Politics Poisons The Psychedelic Renaissance | Tom Hatsis ~ ATTMind Podcast 205

Thomas Hatsis joins us for episode 205 to discuss his new book Psychedelic Injustice: How Identity Politics Poisons the Psychedelic Renaissance. Together we discuss some pretty divisive topics: the distinction between social justice and critical social justice, how certain narratives are being imposed on the psychedelic movement, implicit bias research, decolonization rhetoric, the drug war's actual causes, and contested claims about psychedelic history. This one might get spicy for you. Enjoy responsibly.
