Psychedelics, Ego Death & Public Acceptance

At 31:43 · chapter starts 30:20

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when Scott describes doing 5-MeO-DMT and calling it the most transformative experience of his life. Coming back from the experience felt like seeing the world — grass, sunlight, wind — for the very first time. He cried for 45 minutes in his buddy's girlfriend's arms. Joe reflects on how psychedelics were once dismissed as fool's territory but are now openly discussed by executives, military veterans, and respected journalists like Michael Pollan. Joe traces the shift to early internet articles about psilocybin, then Terence McKenna's writings on DMT, then YouTube and podcasts. He notes that places legalising marijuana see measurable drops in alcohol consumption, threatening the alcohol industry, and adds that prison guard unions also lobby to keep marijuana illegal to maintain prison populations.
