#24 – From Mining to Mushrooms
Recorded live at the Capital Psychedelic Summit, hosted virtually in Washington D.C., Russell Hausfeld joins Brian Normand and David Nickles to discuss the infiltration of the psychedelic pharmaceutical industry by companies, investors, and executives from extractive industry.
This episode explores the destructive nature of extractive industry and the effects of introducing those dynamics into psychedelia. If the same people destroying Indigenous lands told you they believed in “sacred reciprocity,” would you believe them?
Co-hosts: Brian Normand, David Nickles, Russell Hausfeld.
