Yes, intention and integration and healing and soul work are important aspects of psychedelics (particularly for decrim efforts), but I'm getting bored by all the therapyspeak. Sometimes they can just be tools for pure exploration of non-ordinary states and experiences.
In other words, more Hunter S. Thompsons and Ken Keseys pushing at the boundaries of freakiness and fewer Oakland-based therapist-cum-shamanic integration coaches holding space for healing while chanting and playing crystal bowls.
Yes, that is a stereotype, but I'm east coast to my rotten core, which allows me to razz on my west coast hippie friends 😊
Tired: Psychedelic integration coaches
