I think it was his stepdaughter or his daughter or a stepdaughter found out about this.

And she's like, oh my God, my dad is donating my inheritance to this MDMA shit.

So his daughter has basically, since he's died and she's got all his money, now she's taking all her money.

And she started up this like weird little like,

ambiguous uh company non-profit that's funding opposition to maps and psychedelic stuff and like funding media organizations and websites and podcasts to talk negatively about psychedelics

And it's just like, it gets so confusing when you realize like why certain people are like pushing against things and like even like podcasters talking negative stuff.

Yeah.

The psychedelic thing, it scares me the most, I think out of all of this stuff, because psychedelics is the one thing that like,

It can be super helpful for people and like transformative for people and therapeutic for people.

But like the one weird thing about psychedelics is people, once they get really into it, they become evangelists.

They become psychedelic.

They can become like fucking door knockers.

You know, trying to recruit everybody.

They get like a Messiah complex.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

And there was a study that was another study that was done, I think with Johns Hopkins, where it was called the study, the psychedelic study on religious professionals, where they took religious leaders from all the different big religions and they brought them in and they gave them psilocybin and they said, and they wanted to figure out like what the psilocybin did to their religious belief to see if there was like a core, a common core to all religions.

and what they found was it just like amplified their pre-existing beliefs oh that's so what what the i guess i guess they never actually published what they found because i didn't think it went with their hypothesis but from what i understand is like what what it's doing is like just amplifying what's already there like deep within your psyche you know

Yeah, it really is.
