À propos de cet audio

 The Webdelics Podcast is a space where we destigmatize plant medicine by having open conversations around the stories and science of psychedelics. These substances have touched people from all walks of life, and we seek to convey that in the diversity of you all, our guests: From doctors to students; skeptics to shaman; and athletes to high-performance businesspeople. It goes to show that while our differences are what give life its richness and texture, our similarities are what make us human...a fact that is ultimately unveiled through plant medicine and the psychospiritual portal it opens within us.

  • Modern Psychedelic Journeys: Integration, Individualism, and Ancient Wisdom with Gibran Rivera

    Modern Psychedelic Journeys: Integration, Individualism, and Ancient Wisdom with Gibran Rivera
    Sep 18 2025
    On this thought-provoking episode of Webdelics, host Scott Mason welcomes the insightful Gibran Rivera for a rich exploration of the often-overlooked context and community surrounding psychedelic experiences. Together, they delve into the ancestral roots of sacred plant medicines, examining how our hyper-individualistic culture has stripped these practices of their collective, spiritual, and ritual dimensions. Gibran challenges the assumption that psychedelic healing is a solo journey, urging listeners to rethink integration, the power of group ceremonies, and our disconnection from the mythic, animistic worldview of our ancestors. Scott opens up about his own transformative experiences, while Gibran explains the dangers of “Instagram shamans” and the risks of bringing modern narcissism to powerful medicines. They unpack the differences between therapy and healing, discuss the importance of community-based integration, and address how even the most skeptical or secular listeners can approach plant medicine respectfully. This episode will have you questioning what it means to truly “heal,” the responsibilities we carry when engaging with psychedelics, and whether rediscovering ritual and collective belonging might be the missing link for lasting transformation. Whether you’re a newcomer to psychedelics or a seasoned explorer, you’ll find powerful insights that could reshape your understanding of self, society, and the sacred. 00:00 Introduction 06:05 Exploring Psychedelic Integration History 12:20 Recontextualizing Plant Medicine 18:01 Modernity's Loss of Mythos 26:41 Self Sovereignty and Healing 30:40 Exploring Trauma, Narcissism, and Culture 37:23 Psychedelics, Community, and Ancestral Rituals 41:01 Ancestral Rituals and Resilience 49:40 Collective Healing Beyond Medicine 53:24 Public Vulnerability in Group Coaching 58:49 Embracing Diverse Spiritual Beliefs 01:03:29 Embracing Ancestral Wisdom for Connection 01:09:15 Modern Arrogance vs. Ancient Wisdom 01:14:42 Conclusion

  • Can Psychedelics Really Change the World? Hope, Hype, and How Change Happens

    Can Psychedelics Really Change the World? Hope, Hype, and How Change Happens
    Sep 11 2025
    Welcome back to the Webdelics podcast! In this episode, host Scott Mason is joined by author, conference organizer, and ceremony leader, Stephen Gray, for an insightful discussion about the promise—and the limitations—of psychedelics as agents of personal and societal transformation. Together, they dive deep into big questions: Can psychedelics spark a global shift in consciousness? Are we overhyping their revolutionary potential? And how might the current "psychedelic renaissance" be threatened by commercialization and corporate interests? Stephen brings a wealth of experience, drawing from decades of work with plant medicines like ayahuasca and cannabis, to explore what it truly means to have a life-changing experience versus a fleeting one. The conversation touches on the spiritual, psychological, and cultural dimensions of the psychedelic movement, and why true transformation requires not just a powerful trip, but ongoing integration and humility. With reflections on meeting people where they are, the importance of context and culture, and the shadow side of resistance (both personally and collectively), this episode invites listeners to consider what it might really take to heal ourselves—and our world. If you’re curious about how psychedelics intersect with spirituality, power structures, and the urgent crises of our time, this thought-provoking episode is not to be missed. 00:00 Introduction 07:52 Global Psychedelic Impact: A Shared Crisis 14:08 Unlimited Love and Acceptance 22:06 Paths to Tyranny or Renewal 25:39 Embracing Love, Psychedelics, and Change 29:11 Effective Communication Strategies 34:11 Psychedelics' Impact on Leadership Dynamics 41:41 Psychedelic Renaissance: Hype or Suppression? 48:24 Psychedelics & Morphogenetic Resonance 54:57 Reimagining Power Dynamics for Psychedelics 58:16 Collapse, Control, and Fear Dynamics 01:01:21 Conclusion

  • Exploring Kambo: Caitlin Thompson on Frog Medicine, Healing, and Harm Reduction

    Exploring Kambo: Caitlin Thompson on Frog Medicine, Healing, and Harm Reduction
    Sep 4 2025
    Welcome to another fascinating episode of Webdelics! Today, host Scott Mason dives deep into the world of Kambo with our guest, Caitlin Thompson—a neurobiologist, researcher, and passionate advocate for sacred medicines. If you’ve ever been curious about the mysterious “frog medicine” known as Kambo, this episode is for you. Caitlin breaks down what Kambo truly is, sharing its history as a traditional Amazonian practice using the potent skin secretions of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog. We explore how this ritual, once primarily used by indigenous hunters for physical endurance, mental clarity, and even hunting “magic,” has made its way into Western wellness culture—transforming along the way into a tool for spiritual growth, self-discovery, and overcoming chronic health struggles. Throughout the conversation, Caitlin gets real about the science behind Kambo, its unique (but definitely not psychedelic) effects, and the powerful post-ceremony clarity many experiencers report. She also candidly discusses the potential risks, why harm reduction and proper facilitation are non-negotiable, and how misinformation can create real dangers—plus the legal gray area surrounding Kambo’s use worldwide. In this episode, you’ll also hear Caitlin’s personal healing journey—from battling chronic illness to forging a deep connection with Kambo—and learn why discernment, intention, and careful preparation are key for anyone drawn to this medicine. We wrap up with a look at the future of Kambo, sustainability concerns, and the evolving conversation around access and responsible use. So get ready for an enlightening, myth-busting, and refreshingly honest look at one of the most intriguing sacred medicines on the planet. Let’s jump right in! 00:00 Introduction 08:08 Kambo: Enhancing Mental Clarity and Connection 10:33 Kambo's Clarity and Clairvoyance Benefits 17:21 Kambo: Potent Opioid Alternative? 24:05 Kambo: Integration Beyond the Experience 29:50 Realizing Health Issues Through Kambo 34:36 Psychedelic Journeys and Well-Being 42:53 Preventing Injuries During Fainting 44:43 Risks of Sudden Blood Pressure Changes 51:36 Choosing the Right Practitioner 56:02 Kambo Prohibition Risk in Australia 01:02:47 Sacredness in Synthetic Matter 01:06:54 Understanding Substance Differences 01:10:51 Conclusion
