  • Living the new psychedelic renaissance

I’m a journalist, author and speaker specialising in health policy, drugs/psychedelics and (sub)culture. My work has appeared in The Guardian, VICE, Rolling Stone, WIRED, TIME, The Daily Beast, and Men’s Health. In 2024, I was a Ferris-UC Berkeley fellow in psychedelic journalism. My first book Should All Drugs Be Legalized? was published in 2022 by Thames & Hudson. My new pocketbook on psychedelic will be published by Hoxton Mini Press in March 2025.
