46. The Media’s Portrayal of Psychedelic Therapy in America

Psychedelic Passage

“The Media’s Portrayal of Psychedelic Therapy in America” with co-hosts Jimmy Nguyen and Nick Levich, discusses the sensationalization of psychedelic therapy in the media, and the consequences it could have on informed consent.

One of the key questions raised is how to balance expectations when faced with sensationalized media stories about psychedelic therapy. The hosts encourage critical thinking and discernment to avoid getting carried away by exaggerated or misleading narratives.

Through this conversation, they highlight how preparation and integration–two integral parts of psychedelic therapy, are often left out of the media’s spotlight. Nick and Jimmy also share their thoughts on the portrayal of success, from clinical trials to self-proclaimed gurus.

They close out the conversation by pondering what the psychedelic landscape could look like in the future, and what they hope for it. Will proper psychedelic healing models be accessible to everyone? Will the commercialization of psychedelics be their downfall? Not if we can help it.
