Presentation Abstract:Â Â
For this discussion on borderline personality disorder and psychedelics I will review what BPD is, go over why folks with this diagnosis have traditionally been left out of the research with psychedelics, and how psychedelics could be beneficial to this population when done safely. I hope that this will become a discussion that will continue past this conference to begin to end the stigma that has now followed this diagnosis into the psychedelic arena.

Presentation Abstract:Â Â
Content creation is a vital part of building a psychedelic brand. The psychedelic industry is a worldwide, distributed constellation of individuals and organizations that largely communicate through online channels. Building a robust online presence and leveraging best practices in media strategy increases surface area for luck and enables startup companies to legitimately compete with larger players. In less than three years, I’ve leaned into these principles to bootstrap the Mycopreneur platform from an unknown entity into a globally recognized, profitable psychedelic brand.
