Socio-Psychedelic Imaginaries: Claudia Schwarz-Plaschg on the Future of Psychedelics

For me, that's the crucial element to understand that, and that's important, I think, also on a societal level, to have this shift, because the current prohibition model is assuming that the psychedelics and other controlled substances are having a specific effect in themselves. They are always used in a social context.
Imagine a world where psychedelics are not just tools for personal exploration but are integrated responsibly into society. In this episode of 'Iboganautics', Dr. Claudia Schwarz-Plaschg, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna, takes us on a journey through the sociopolitical landscape of psychedelics. With an impressive academic background that includes stints at Harvard and MIT, Claudia's insights are both profound and timely.
She dives into the concept of 'socio-psychedelic imaginaries' and how these visions shape our understanding and regulation of psychedelics. Claudia also tackles the grassroots movements pushing for psychedelic decriminalization in the United States, highlighting the values and beliefs that influence these efforts. Her discussion extends to the challenges of bias in psychedelic research and the critical importance of inclusivity, responsible use, and integration in psychedelic experiences.
Whether you're curious about the future of psychedelics or interested in the socio-technical aspects of emerging scientific fields, this episode offers a rich tapestry of ideas and perspectives. Tune in to explore how psychedelics could reshape our world.
