The Divergent States Podcast explores the intersection of psychedelics, science, and culture without the mysticism. Hosted by 3L1T3, founder of r/psychonaut with over 500,000 members, and co-hosted by Bryan, a USMC veteran and advocate for psychedelic-assisted healing, the show cuts through hype to get at what’s real.
From personal stories to peer-reviewed science, we investigate how psychedelics shape mental health, creativity, and society, while pushing back on dogma and pseudoscience. Past guests include Hamilton Morris, Dr. Rick Strassman, Dr. Rick Doblin, and more.
If you're tired of breathless mysticism and want data-driven, curiosity-fueled conversations: you're in the right state.
Too many treat psychedelics like religion. We treat them like science.
