Daniel M Ingram - A Path to Critical Global Psychedelic Infrastructure

Psychedelic integration into established global clinical and public health frameworks is discussed as an urgent, yet unmet need. Daniel M. Ingram contends that current mental health infrastructures, like the DSM-5, are ill-equipped to classify and effectively respond to the broad and emergent range of profound psychedelic experiences. He highlights the necessity of developing high-quality, non-profit institutional frameworks that are evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and globally scalable. By formalizing this infrastructure, the speaker proposes that society can move away from restrictive, stigmatizing medical approaches toward more supportive and ethically grounded care models.
