On episode 16 of World Wide Waves Radio, DJ Faizy interviews Ben Friedmann, a psychedelic capitalist who advocates for the research and use of plant medicine for pharmaceutical applications. Ben speaks on his experiences with psychedelics and realization of their importance. After working on wall street as a hedge fund manager, Ben describes his experiences traveling the world and coming upon a newfound understanding of life with the help of ayahuasca and other psychedelic substances. Touching on everything from the benefits of ibogaine, the current state of the psychedelic pharmaceutical industry, and Ben’s work at the intersection of psychedelics and religion with his project, Psychedelic Synagogue, the two of them speak optimistically on the efforts to normalize plant medicine.
