High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

Talking About Psychedelics with Matt Zemon | Educator, Author and Psychedelics Specialist

In this episode, we sit down with Matt Zemon, author and advocate for the responsible use of psychedelics, to discuss the transformative power of substances like psilocybin, MDMA, and ayahuasca. We explore how psychedelics are being used to treat mental health conditions, unlock deeper states of consciousness, and reshape our understanding of the mind. Are these substances the key to healing trauma and depression, or are they still too misunderstood? Join us as we dive into the science, spirituality, and controversy surrounding psychedelics.
