Healthcare entrepreneur, publisher, and industry pioneer/strategist Gary Mackenzie has announced the launch of The Dispensary Podcast, a new long form industry podcast focused on the rapidly evolving global medicinal cannabis and psychedelic medicine sectors.
Produced in partnership with InvestorDeck.org, LeafLit.media and Psychedelics.media, the podcast will explore the business, policy, investment, clinical, and regulatory developments shaping two of the fastest-growing sectors in modern healthcare.
The show will feature interviews with industry leaders, founders, investors, clinicians, pharmacists, researchers, policymakers, and operators from Australia, Europe, North America, Asia, and emerging international markets.
While many cannabis and psychedelic podcasts focus primarily on culture or advocacy, The Dispensary Podcast has been designed as a professional market intelligence platform for industry participants seeking deeper analysis of the forces transforming healthcare globally.
“The cannabis and psychedelic sectors are no longer fringe industries,” said Gary Mackenzie, host of The Dispensary Podcast.
“They’re becoming increasingly integrated into mainstream healthcare systems, pharmaceutical supply chains, telehealth networks, mental health infrastructure, and global investment markets. Our goal is to have serious conversations about where these industries are heading and the challenges they’ll face as they mature.”
The podcast will cover topics including:
- Medicinal cannabis market developments in Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Thailand, North America, and other emerging markets
- Psychedelic medicine regulation, clinical infrastructure, and commercialisation
- Healthcare innovation and telehealth
- Artificial intelligence in healthcare delivery
- Pharmacy and prescribing trends
- Capital markets, mergers, acquisitions, and investment activity
- Clinical governance and compliance
- International policy and regulatory reform
- Mental health innovation and emerging therapeutics
The inaugural episode, The New Healthcare Economy, explores the convergence of medicinal cannabis, psychedelic medicine, telehealth, artificial intelligence, and personalised healthcare, while outlining the major themes that will shape future episodes.
Future episodes will feature conversations with industry leaders, clinicians, founders, investors, pharmacists, researchers, policymakers, and innovators from across Australia, Europe, North America, Asia, and other emerging healthcare markets.
The podcast is expected to appeal to a broad professional audience, including:
- Healthcare executives
- Doctors and psychiatrists
- Pharmacists
- Investors and venture capital groups
- Researchers and academics
- Founders and entrepreneurs
- Policymakers and regulators
- Industry operators
As medicinal cannabis and psychedelic medicine continue their transition from emerging sectors into established healthcare industries, The Dispensary Podcast aims to become a trusted source of analysis, insight, and informed discussion for professionals seeking to understand what comes next.
