When defining psychedelic experiences, it's more accurate to view them as a dynamic spectrum rather than a rigid choice between recreational and therapeutic use. Experiences can possess qualities of both, and their nature is shaped by factors like intent, setting, and support.
In today’s episode, we talk about why it's important to define your psychedelic experiences and the labels we use for them. We'll break down the difference between using psychedelics for fun (recreational) versus using them to heal (therapeutic), and what usually goes along with each type of experience.
We'll also give you key items to think about when you're defining your own journey. Plus, we'll introduce a new framework for describing your experience. To wrap things up, we'll share some good advice for anyone on a psychedelic journey and read a story from someone who participated in one of our programs.
