Matt Zemon, author of The Psychedelics for Everyone series, joins us to talk about psychedelics as catalysts — not cures — and why safety, set, and setting are non-negotiable. He shares how proper preparation, dosing, and integration can make the difference between a transformative experience and a destabilizing one.
In this episode:
-
Why psychedelics are catalysts for change, not magic fixes
-
How to reduce risks with set, setting, and integration
-
The dangers of overdosing and unprepared facilitation
