In this episode, Adam Miezio shares his background in studying religious cults, including an in-depth thesis on the Heaven’s Gate cult, which laid the groundwork for his passion in understanding human psychology and the power of belief. We discuss how his early fascination with subcultures evolved into writing about psychedelics, mental health, and spirituality. Adam provides thought-provoking perspectives on how psychedelics intersect with mental health, the potential for cult-like behavior within the community, and the ongoing need for education and responsible use. We also delve into the current ‘psychedelic renaissance,’ emphasizing the importance of integration and grassroots community support.
