This week’s Psychedelic Titan is Maurice Bright, Chancellor and Head of Operations for Psilo Academy, Figarelli House Corp. (dba Psilocybin Academy™).
What’s this article series about? Psychedelic Titans is a get-to-know-you-style blog series interviewing some of the psychedelic industry’s most influential and impactful individuals.
When did you first become involved in the psychedelic industry and why?
I spent 2 years in Corporate Cannabis as a Head of I.T. prior and felt psychedelics were going to be the next alt medicine industry to catch fire, so it was a relatively easy choice to migrate over.
Do you, or have you taken, psychedelic substances?
Yes, currently indulge in psilocybin and LSD. Psilocybin more so than LSD 😉
What’s your favourite psychedelic compound?
Psilocybin — it boosts the efficiency of my critical thinking.
Do your parents/family members know what you’re doing?
Yes.
Have you had an experience with mental health/chronic pain?
No.
What’s your vision of the industry in 20 years?
I envision the industry will be similar to cannabis but with far more Institutional acceptance and impact on the mental health industry as a whole.
What are your biggest worries for the industry?
Governments not understanding the conducive results psychedelics can have on society and hamstringing laws in favor of these drugs.
Who are your heroes?
My mum.
If you could create a psychedelic to do anything you wanted, what would it do?
Hit me with the same effects as LSD and a trip time aligned with the duration of a cannabis high.
