What are the risks of psychedelic therapy that we should be aware of?
As a society, we owe it to ourselves to educate people about the risks and not only pitch it as this amazing, euphoric experience that is going to change your life. Because just as easily, it could change your life in a negative way for the rest of your life.
Your brain is wired for deception, but here's the truth. Patterns can be broken. The code can be rewritten. Once you hear the truth, you can't go back. So the only question is, are you ready to listen?
Welcome everybody to another episode of Decoded. Today we are talking about medicine journeys. I realize this episode is probably going to be fairly divisive. We all know that I'm not afraid of doing that here. So I want to set some ground rules for what my intention is going into this. And maybe a good point of reference, I did a podcast on one called The Psychedelic Report with Dr. Dave Rabin, who I very much admire. And we have a really great conversation about psychedelics on that one, where I go a lot more into the childhood origins that, to me, predispose somebody to not be a candidate for psychedelics. So if you want to go a little bit deeper into that, the brain pattern elements of who it could be for and who it's not for, we dive very deeply into that.
So the podcast itself is called The Psychedelic Report with Dr. Dave Rabin. Today's episode, my goal is to help us establish when there may be a more sinister narrative behind pushing or putting something up on a pedestal. If we look back at the early 2020s, it's probably the first time that I started fairly loudly sounding the alarm about this because I was seeing the trend and the uptick in people engaging in psychedelics that, in my opinion, are not good candidates for psychedelics. So I want to make sure that we're clear. This episode is about... Highlighting the concern, understanding where there may be a more sinister underbelly of psychedelics, and not to say that they're inherently bad. I think there's a time and a place for quite a few things.
But I've noticed a trend that I think puts many people in a very dangerous psychological situation. position that they had no business being in and our society normalizing things like medicine journeys is partly responsible for why this has happened. I think it's important for us to connect this uptick in psychedelics to a normalization of weed culture because I don't think you can separate the two of them. The normalization of weed culture very much made the way for psychedelics to kind of come alongside that. Not to mention, and certainly not picking on him, I really love Joe Rogan's show and I think he's done a lot of great work. There are a lot of people that love talking about psychedelics and psychedelic research, but as you know,
Brain pattern typing helps us decide who is a good candidate for something and who's not a good candidate for something. And I'm here to tell you, not everybody is a good candidate for psychedelics. In fact, most people are not a good candidate for psychedelics. I've spent a lot of many, many years of my work Almost in every season of my work, dealing with clients who I'm trying to help them clean up a psychotic break that came from engaging in psychedelics or overusing weed. When we see something start to be normalized like weed culture, I think we should all ask questions. Why would we go from something being a no to then all of a sudden it being everywhere? Typically, there's someone or some group.
that has either a financial incentive tied to it or something even worse, like some sort of psychological incentive. I know if you've followed my podcast since the beginning, I've talked about how a mentally unstable, confused society is easier to control. Well, when you are in the weed culture, whether you like it or not, you are operating in in some times and spaces outside of objective reality that's part of the reason I think people like smoking weed and most likely by the time this episode comes out we will have already launched my episode on why smoking weed is making your anxiety worse so hopefully the timing of this will work out quite well and if not it's coming if it's already happened go back and watch it it's important
