RICK DOBLIN: ON 35 YEARS OF MAPS, OPPORTUNITIES FOR PSYCHEDELIC INVESTORS AND THE PATH TO CREATING A STRONG INDUSTRY

This month, the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) celebrated a milestone: 35 years of research and advocacy of psychedelics.

Founded in 1986, the US-based non-profit research and educational organisation has worked to develop medical, legal and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics.

Founder Rick Doblin sat down with PSYCH to highlight the group’s successes and challenges of the last 35 years and to take a deep dive into the present and future of psychedelic business and its path to profitability, including:

  • Drug policy reform and its impact on psychedelic business

  • The usefulness and morality of psychedelic patents vs. data exclusivity

  • The promise of emerging shorter-acting psychedelics & market hype

  • The challenge of retaining talented staff at a psychedelic non-profit and the value of non-profits to big business

  • Keys to shifting cultural attitudes around psychedelics & ensuring the healthcare supply chain can meet demand

  • The path to profitability in psychedelics, the timeline for medical clearance and licensed legalisation
