Matt Zemon, author of The Psychedelics for Everyone series, joins us to talk about psychedelics as catalysts — not cures — and why safety, set, and setting are non-negotiable. He shares how proper preparation, dosing, and integration can make the difference between a transformative experience and a destabilizing one.

In this episode:

• Why psychedelics are catalysts for change, not magic fixes

• How to reduce risks with set, setting, and integration

• The dangers of overdosing and unprepared facilitation

Matt Zemon is the author of multiple guides to psychedelics, including The Beginner’s Guide to Psychedelics and The Veteran’s Guide to Psychedelics. His TED Talk, Psychedelics Aren’t Cures — They’re Catalysts, has reached over a million viewers in just two months.  https://mattzemon.com
