With the ongoing, revolutionary research of psychedelic medicines, our collective understanding of mental health, and healthcare in general, is entering a new paradigm. There is a lot of new science about how these medicines can support addiction and depression, and widespread excitement about their ability to expand our understanding of transcendence and consciousness at large. In today’s solo, Samantha tells us what she learned when she recently took LSD for the first time, and explains how, weeks later, the experience continues to positively influence her everyday life.
