Welcome to this episode of the Webdelics podcast, where we dive into the power of plant medicines and their impact on creativity, with special guest Jessica Depatie. Host Scott Mason kicks off the conversation by asking if psychedelics can help boost your creative mind—a question often posed in circles of artists, innovators, and even Silicon Valley techies.

Together, Scott Mason and Jessica Depatie peel back the layers of what creativity really means—far beyond just art, music, or writing. They discuss how psychedelics like cannabis, psilocybin, and even ayahuasca can temporarily quiet our inner critic, dissolve the self-judgment that blocks expression, and remind us that creativity is less about personality or inspiration and more about trusting our perceptions and paying attention to life’s details.

Jessica Depatie shares insights from her work with various plant medicines, emphasizing that true creativity often comes from courage—the willingness to break free from rigid systems, both in society and within ourselves. She and Scott Mason reflect on personal journeys, societal pressures to conform, and how stepping into the unknown with curiosity (and sometimes psychedelics) can be a key to finding deeper meaning, richer experiences, and a more iconic version of yourself.

Whether you’re seeking to reconnect with your creative self, curious about the safe use of psychedelics, or just looking to shake up your daily routine, this episode is filled with wisdom, practical advice, and inspiration for embracing the chaos—and the potential—of your own creative journey.
