The psychedelic therapy movement has been sold to the public as a grassroots revolution driven by compassion for suffering veterans and breakthrough science. The reality is far more sinister. A coordinated campaign by Silicon Valley billionaires has hijacked the psychedelic industry, weaponising vulnerable populations whilst suppressing safety concerns that should have halted their plans years ago.
These psychedelic therapy safety concerns extend far beyond isolated incidents—they reveal systematic failures in oversight and accountability that threaten to replicate the opioid crisis under the guise of healing.
The Architect of Capture
The Psychedelic Science Funders Collaborative (PSFC) represents everything dangerous about concentrated wealth meeting unregulated pharmaceutical development. Founded in 2017, this shadowy network of approximately 200 high-net-worth individuals—including SpaceX board members, tech founders, and hedge fund managers—has systematically captured the psychedelic ecosystem. Their wealth exceeds the GDP of small countries, yet their accountability to public health standards remains virtually non-existent.
PSFC member Genevieve Jurvetson acknowledged the disproportionate power wielded by this tiny elite: “This field has been carried by like 20 families, and the leverage that they’ve had with [a] million, you know, tens of millions of dollars—hundreds of millions at this point is really quite extraordinary.”
Extraordinary indeed. Extraordinary in its concentration of control. Extraordinary in its disregard for scientific integrity. Extraordinary in its willingness to experiment on traumatised populations. (for complete expose, WRD News)
