One Thing: Psychedelics in the Trump Era: From Counterculture...to Conservative?

Listen Later

Former Texas governor and US Energy Secretary Rick Perry is not someone you’d think would be advocating for controversial psychedelic therapies to treat mental illness and PTSD. Yet he is one of a growing number of prominent Republican voices stepping forward to push for more research. In part two of our series, we trace why the politics of psychedelics have shifted over the decades, and whether HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will hurt or help the cause.

Guest: Jane C. Hu, science journalist and writer, The Microdose newsletter
