The Ethics of Psychedelics


Listen Later

Today, we have a very special Webdelics episode for you. Plant medicine and psychedelics have been subject to unfair criticism from the very beginning. Sadly, some of that criticism has evolved into false facts and myths about its use, benefits and need in our society. My two renowned guests today will clear the air around this subject and set the record straight. Sandra Dreisbach specializes in exploring ethical decision making and moral philosophy. Yonason Goldson is a TEDx speaker, presenter, and business advisor.

Listen in as together, the three of us venture on a journey to find out the truth about plant medicine and its uses with the intention of getting rid of the myths and changing the current narrative about psychedelics. This is a special two guest episode that you don’t want to miss.
