Trying not to be so negative, but really tired of seeing majority White Men (clearly with a motivation to make $$) in Leadership roles in the psychedelic space. 🙁

What makes it so clear that their motivation is to make money?

I’ve found from my private conversations with the specific men I had in mind while writing this that their motivations are not pure. They are led by greed and “hype.”

In short words, these people are more interested in ROI than they are in actually making these healing modalities accessible to the general public

A “user” will experience a Psychedelics how it was marketed to them. Unlike other “products,” psychedelics are inherently susceptible to perception change via “marketing” & “branding” tactics.

So not only does the motivation and story matter when “branding” these substances/practices, but it will also directly appear in the consumers experience of the substance.

Nothing wrong with making money! And I’m a strong believer that the people working in this space need to be paid well. Yet, money shouldn’t be the core motivation behind businesses built around mind altering substances.
