In this episode of the Psychedelics Design Podcast, host Alexandra Plesner—founder of Psychedelics Design—sits down with Mattha Busby, a journalist and author known for his deep reporting on drug and health policy, human rights, society, and the environment.
Currently based in Mexico, Mattha is a regular contributor to The Guardian and VICE, and his work has appeared in Rolling Stone, WIRED, TIME, and more. Together, they explore the power of storytelling in the psychedelic movement, the risks of silence around harm, and how culture shapes the psychedelic experience—both in the media and beyond.
