Artem Smirnov | Normalize Psychedelics

“One testimony at a time, he’s normalizing the miracle.”


In this episode, George sits down with Artem Smirnov, Co-founder & Creative Director of Normalize Psychedelics — a project collecting 1,000 raw testimonies from people whose lives were radically changed by psychedelic medicine. Once a filmmaker documenting narrative, Artem has become a witness to resurrection: real people coming back from “impossible” experiences with new eyes, new lives, and new purpose.


From a van rolling down the West Coast to a global archive of healing, Artem is preserving the unfiltered human truth behind psychedelic transformation — not the corporate version, not the sanitized version, but the real one.


In this conversation, we explore the movement, the mission, and the mythology behind the psychedelic renaissance… and the questions that will define its future.





Topics We Explore



  • The origin story of Normalize Psychedelics and why Artem chose testimonies over theory
  • The danger of sanitizing or corporate-branding a medicine born from rebellion
  • The difference between safe access and spiritual sterilization
  • Ritual, archetype, and the “impossible” — why psychedelic stories sound like modern myth
  • Whether the real war has always been a war on consciousness
  • The struggle between sacred medicine and capitalist extraction
  • Psychedelics as the potential literacy of the future
  • How to hold space for healing without turning it into an industry
  • What a world could look like where psychedelic experiences are considered a public good






Key Questions From the Episode



  • “What does ‘normalizing psychedelics’ look like without sterilizing or neutering the rebellion that gave rise to them?”
  • “Is the real war not on drugs but on consciousness that refuses to behave?”
  • “What if psychedelics become the literacy of the future — and sobriety becomes the illiteracy of the past?”
  • “Are we ready for a world where psychedelic experiences are considered a public good?”
  • “How do we avoid turning sacred medicines into another consumer commodity?”






About Artem Smirnov



Co-founder & Creative Director of Normalize Psychedelics, Artem is traveling the world collecting first-person accounts of transformation — building the largest living archive of psychedelic healing on the planet.

The Mathematics of Spirit, The Spirit of Mathematics


“Welcome to the show”


Tonight we’re sitting with two architects who have each built a closed-loop system that routes something ancient through the present with almost zero loss.


Hamilton Souther, pioneering maestro vegetalista and founder of Blue Morpho, who has guided more than fifteen thousand ayahuasca ceremonies across two decades in the Amazon.


And Noah Healy, nuclear engineer who entered the University of Virginia as a high-school junior, mathematician with thirty-five years in the field, and inventor of Coordinated Discovery Markets


One serves living biological intelligence.


The other serves living mathematical intelligence.


Tonight we explore energy, memory, coherence, and the hidden geometry that may connect them both.

You know what I can’t stand about so much of the music today?


It’s like somebody fed a soul through a paper shredder.

Every chord pre-chewed, every beat a recycled heartbeat,

every voice stitched together like a harmonic Frankenstein…

alive only because the algorithm said so.


Enter Adam Lopez.


A hard-nosed, road-tested veteran with calloused hands

and a spirit carved straight from the American grain.

Twenty-five years in the trenches of sound,

playing not for charts, not for clout,

but because music is the only altar he’s ever bowed to.


He’s carved out his own genre: Future Blues. 

Old soul wired into new circuitry,

a Johnny Cash storm colliding with a Hendrix supernova,

lit by a splash of Merle Haggard gasoline.


He summons sound with the cold certainty of Josey Wales,

and when it lands, it cuts like Charles Bronson in Death Wish…


Quiet, Final, Unforgettable.


So crank it past comfort, past permission, past reason.

This isn’t a show.

It’s a resurrection of the real,

a rebellion against the pre-packaged,

a reminder that music was born wild…

and some souls still are.

Matt Ritchey 


In a world high on hype and starving for truth,

Matt Ritchey calls bullshit and builds integrity.


He’s the architect of Inner Circle

a network of builders and leaders proving business can be sacred and true leadership are always innovating.


No gurus. No smoke. No mirrors.

Just leaders forged in fire—

walking the razor’s edge between legality and liberation in the world of plant medicine.

https://innercirclebiz.com/

In This Episode:

  • The real cost of leadership in an age of illusion.
  • How to identify and build alliances with real leaders — not false prophets.
  • The rise of circular economies built on reciprocity, not exploitation.
  • How the plant medicine movement is reshaping entrepreneurship, ethics, and education.
  • Why integrity is the ultimate disruptor in business and consciousness.
  • How Inner Circle vets members, protects trust, and keeps the mission pure.
  • Navigating legality, ethics, and transformation in an evolving industry.



Key Takeaway:

Integrity isn’t a brand. It’s a way of being — and the future belongs to those who keep their word sacred.
