About
Jim Tate
Jim Tate is a writer, researcher, and podcast host with some thirty years in healthcare, health information technology, and regulatory compliance. He brings that background to nuanced, evidence-aware work at the intersection of healthcare, policy, and psychedelic science.
He writes Chronicles of Kykeon on Substack, hosts The Psychedelic Bookshelf and The Psychedelic Silver Screen, and is the author of Elders at the Threshold and The Little Book of Salvia Divinorum.
Kykeon was the ceremonial drink of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Taking its name is a declaration of intent: to look at these substances with the seriousness the ancients gave them.
