Benjamin Forest Bliss's *The Trip of a Lifetime* is part memoir, part guide—a testament to the transformative power of psychedelics. He believes plant medicine, when honored, is a sacred tool for healing trauma and returning to wholeness.

But I see another side: somewhere along the way, medicine became market. Ceremonies became entertainment. And what was once healing now risks leaving seekers more open, ungrounded, and dependent than before.

In this episode, we ask: when did plant medicine stop being medicine and what does it take to bring it back?

🎤 Key Questions We Explore:

1. What makes plant medicine a true *medicine*—and when does it cross the line into consumerism?

2. How do we discern the difference between healing use and bypass?

3. Can psychedelics actually anchor sovereignty, or do they risk leaving us more porous?

4. What role does integration play in keeping medicine sacred?

5. In a culture obsessed with shortcuts, can plant medicine still be trusted as a path to God?

This is not just another conversation about psychedelics. It's about the fine line between medicine and illusion.
