Philosophy, psychedelics and nonprofit cat-herding. Will write words in exchange for $. Views my own etc.
Issue 16 of The Ethical Trip is out!
This fortnight:
- Can 5-MeO-DMT be treated the same as Ketamine?
- Are psychedelic experiences compatible with a scientific worldview?
- When and how should you slow down your thinking?
For all this, plus an idiosyncratic roundup of recent research and alleged humour, read on! (There’s also a discount code for my extremely niche Etsy store, but only for subscribers.)
Can psychedelics change mental imagery?
Did PAT just get more accessible in Australia?
If symbols don’t have meaning do they have to stay that way?
Why do we need to know about opioid overdose?
For all this, plus some blatant self-promotion, subscribe and read on (it's free.)

In a sure sign that newsletters are over, I am now writing a newsletter.
It's called The Ethical Trip, and features hype-free analysis of psychedelic business & industry, philosophy & ethics, harm reduction. Infused with attempts at satire.
On the upside, it's free, and only comes every 2 weeks.

First pink oyster mushroom harvest today! Not quite as much as I’d hoped, but very tasty.
I suspect Threads is likely to degenerate into the worst dystopian hellscape we’ve seen yet.
