Sean Lawlor, psychedelic therapist and author, chronicles the concerning trend of "psychedelic bypassing" - avoiding discussion of adverse effects and unethical behavior in the name of protecting psychedelics' public image. He examines egregious examples like facilitators justifying abuse, backlash against constructive criticism, and "guru syndrome." Lawlor and Dr. Richard Miller explore the vital need for transparency regarding psychedelic risks to uphold ethics amid today's open access.
