  • Traditional native entheogen use
  • Holotropic Breathwork
  • Recreational experience vs meaningful spiritual experience
  • We have an interconnected network of specific receptors that seem to illicit different types of consciousness
  • Entheogen help for PTSD
  • What does the future of shamanism look like?
  • Controlling drug use is controlling consciousness
  • Entheogen use can give you the state change that “stuff” cannot 
  • Legality of entheogens
  • Effects of marijuana use on the brain
  • Psychedelics help de-condition us from our cultural values
  • Let medicine be thy food
Most native traditions seem to have a sense of a non-duality as a core reality in their spiritual worldview. Tweet it!
The ego is a by-product of the activity of the serotonin 2 receptor. Tweet it!
Entheogens detach us from our allegiance to the status quo. Tweet it!
