DMTweet: a psychedelic tweet recap

a PsyMed Ventures x Business Trip colab (issue #7)

DMTweet is a newsletter of psychedelic tweets that catch our eye 👀.

This is a collaboration between PsyMed Ventures and Business Trip (yes, we’re the folks working on both 🙃).

Tweets include: Industry updates 💼, Therapy 🛋️, Psychedelic research 🧪, Neuroscience 🧠, Consciousness ✨, Indigenous reciprocity ⚖️, Regulatory updates 📜, and Trippy ideas 👽.

Inclusion = interesting ≠ endorsement.

Let’s get to it….

Many people claim that indigenous psychedelic use consists of shamans giving plants to patients for mental healing. Yet for the last month, @sdpnayak & I have been visiting communities in the NW Amazon & have encountered a very different use: knowledge cultivation by non-shamans.

Matt Baggott @mattbagg

Starting a thread on improving inclusion in psychedelic research and medicine. This is a large literature, so this is not an exhaustive list. I'm instead highlighting a few important new papers and giving a little context. I plan to use this thread for relevant future tweets.

Josh Hardman @Josh__Hardman

What areas of psychedelics-related research are underfunded but promising/important?

Isaac Fitzgerald @IsaacFitzgerald

Last night I overheard two twenty-somethings having a very deep, very earnest conversation. At a certain point the young woman turned to the young man and asked, “So, do you go to therapy?” The young man pointed at his skateboard and said, “That’s my therapy.” My guy. So close.

No BS Therapist @TweetATherapist

No one: No one: No one: Person who just learned that I'm a therapist: "Oh! Are you analyzing me right now? Hahaha"
