How psychedelics help you get unstuck is what hosts Nicholas and Jimmy Nguyen cover in this episode. This feeling of being stuck, blocked, or in your own way is why the vast majority of folks seek out intentional psychedelic use.

In this episode, the hosts talk about how to actually close the gap between knowing what you want and then actually doing it. They talk about how psychedelics can create alignment between the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the nervous system. 

Nicholas and Jimmy address how psychedelics help us move from mental concepts to direct experience and how that felt sense actually rewires the brain. They also cover what the default mode network (DMN) is and why it’s often the limiting factor in our ability to change. 

This episode includes a discussion around the role of social conditioning and programming as it relates to this process of getting unstuck. Finally, the hosts talk about how psychedelics bring to the surface that which has been suppressed and the change in perception that ensues.

In this informative episode of the Psychedelic Passage podcast, your host Jimmy Nguyen takes you on a journey deep into the heart of Colorado's evolving psychedelic landscape. As 2023 unfolds, the state has garnered significant attention for the groundbreaking psychedelic laws and regulations.

Jimmy meticulously dissects the nuances of the state's approach, offering a comprehensive exploration of both the regulated model and the personal use/community side. He elaborates on the rules established by SB 23290, also known as the Natural Medicine Health Act, and how it sets the stage for further developments.

While the regulatory model is ambitious and forward-thinking, it's not without its challenges and criticisms. Jimmy takes a balanced view, shedding light on the pros and cons of this evolving landscape. 

Due to the absence of a well-defined framework for the personal use and community side, Jimmy offers insights into the legal environment that allows for possession, consumption, and gifting of natural medicines in Colorado.
