Are you ready for an intentional psychedelic journey? In this episode, Jimmy and Nicholas explain ways to assess if you’re in the right mental state to have a psychedelic experience. They point out certain red flags that may indicate a lack of readiness for such experiences.

Our hosts discuss how forcing the process, rushing it, relying on external influences, or being too attached to a specific outcome, may negatively affect your decision-making and broader healing process. What questions can you ask yourself in order to evaluate your motivations behind journeying? 

Jimmy and Nicholas emphasize the importance of personal responsibility and internal work in the healing process and describe how relying solely on psychedelics can be counterintuitive and counterproductive. 

How can seeking peak experiences without proper integration, propagate the reemergence of similar issues? To close off, our hosts discuss how family members may unknowingly cross the line between support and pressure, blurring the personal intentions of a prospective journeyer.

How does a guided psychedelic journey work? This is one of the most common questions hosts Nicholas and Jimmy Nguyen hear from folks who are interested in pursuing an intentional psychedelic experience. 

This episode starts off by addressing what comes next after you’ve committed to having a transformational psychedelic journey. This begins by identifying your individual intentions and then choosing your ideal guide (which was covered in the previous episode). 

The process of having a professional guided psychedelic journey will entail a lot more than just the ceremony or journey itself. Nick and Jimmy address how a savvy guide will take you through a screening and intake process to help ensure your safety, as well as preparation and integration sessions, which take place before and after the journey respectively. 

From there, the hosts discuss what the journey itself actually looks like. Where do these journeys take place? Is there music? Should you keep your eyes open or closed? This episode addresses all of these questions and more. 

The show also covers what to expect after you consume a plant medicine like psilocybin. Nick and Jimmy address the various stages and themes that typically emerge in the mushroom journey. Finally, they talk about how long a guided psychedelic journey takes from start to finish.

Understanding the benefits and pitfalls of ketamine is crucial when deciding whether or not to engage with the only legal psychedelic substance in the United States currently. Although many people are choosing to sit with ketamine, hosts Nicholas and Jimmy Nguyen discuss why some have positive experiences and others don’t.

This episode starts off by addressing why ketamine is treated differently than other psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD, and DMT. The hosts also discuss how ketamine works and why it’s not actually a psychedelic drug by definition. 

The hosts cover how ketamine can be helpful when used appropriately as well as some of the issues that arise when used without guidance, structure or support. They give listeners tangible steps to ensure that they select the right ketamine program while avoiding potential pitfalls. 

Nick and Jimmy then discuss the differences between at home ketamine programs versus in-person clinics versus more holistic programs. They also cover the various routes of administration ranging from IV to intramuscular to lozenges to nasal spray. 

The hosts talk about what makes a good ketamine facilitator and provide listeners with tangible questions they can use when vetting providers. Finally they discuss what they’ve seen anecdotally with clients who have been through these programs.
