We dive into the taboo topic of psychedelics and why it's considered taboo. Van and Alyssa share their own experiences and stories about hallucinogens and entheogens, and possible ways society can benefit from embracing them for their healing and psychotherapeutic uses. They discuss how the stigma originated, how it's perpetuated today, and how we can look at them as cultural cornerstones of ancient civilizations and indigenous practices.
