Between Sacred & Profane: Psychedelic Culture, Drug Spiritualites, and Contemporary America

As part of the “Psychedelics and the Future of Religion” series, Dr. J. Christian Greer hosted a discussion panel with Dr. Erik Davis and Dr. Gary Laderman, focusing on the intersection of psychedelic culture, sacred drugs, and the modern American zeitgeist. In their wide-ranging conversation, this distinguished panel of addressed spiritualities centered on psychoactive substances, the material culture of psychedelia, and the potential role humanities scholars could play in the current wave of clinical research on psychedelics. Erik Davis is an author, award-winning journalist, and independent scholar based in San Francisco. He is the author, most recently, of High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies, co-published by MIT Press and Strange Attractor. He graduated from Yale University in 1988, and more recently earned his PhD in religious studies at Rice University. www.techgnosis.com. Gary Laderman is Goodrich C.
