<h3>Exploring the Mycoverse Presents – Right-Wing Psychedelia</h3>Psychedelic research is currently receiving unprecedented financial and political support – much of it coming from the right. In this discussion, we will take a closer look at the research regarding why the right-wing might be interested in these sacred medicines and why it has dangerous implications to amplify authoritarian ideologies. Through the following research case studies, we see why education along with set and setting matter so much – as psychedelic medicines are politically neutral amplifiers of set and setting.Before our discussion we invite you to read these short reads: <ul><li><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.733185/full" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Right-Wing Psychedelia: Case Studies in Cultural Plasticity and Political Pluripotency </a>(2021) Frontiers</li><li><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/oct/18/psychedelic-drugs-us-republican-thiel-mercer-foundation" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Why is the American right suddenly so interested in psychedelic drugs?</a> (2022) Guardian</li></ul>&gt;&gt;&gt;What is Exploring the Mycoverse you ask?
