🧠Memorable Quotes 🧠
“With meditation I could put these things at ease and not think about them.”
“Psychedelics can be real powerful tools for a lot of people but only used in the right circumstances. That’s something people need to think about beforehand.”
“It’s really important for every individual to understand that they matter and that they can express themselves.”
“The scientific approach can tend to box certain aspect of the psychedelic experience. But to me, the nature of the experience shows there is much more mysticism and spirituality to it than is acknowledged by the scientific method.”
