Psychadelic journeys, when used in a spiritual or therapeutic context—not a recreational one when you take them before a concert or night out—but if they’re used with the correct set and setting—meaning mindset and physical surroundings—they can lead to tremendous mental health benefits. A feeling of belonging, a surge of connectivity to the world and the communities around us. A relief of depression, addiction, and PTSD suffering. 

That last category is particularly important to me…without depressing you too much, I want to tell you that my West Point class just passed a mindblowing benchmark. We now have lost twice as many classmates to suicide than we did in combat. I believe psychedelics can be part of the solution to this problem.
