Psychedelic Medicine with Jonathan de Potter

As our understanding of the world and medicine grows, certain things have to change. Things like leeches, cigarettes, and heroin were all considered to be good for you until we learned how bad they were. And now we're seeing positive therapies from things we used to only see as illegal street drugs. My guest today is Jonathan de Potter. Jonathan owns the psychedelic, plant-medicine based Behold Retreats. While still a relatively new thing, Jonathan brings a wealth of knowledge from his six years working with the natural medicines most commonly used for Psychedelic Therapies: Psilocybin the magic mushroom, Ayahuasca, and 5-MeO-DMT the God Molecule. It's a wild topic and I think most people in the world are unaware that these things are legally accessible to most everyone. I know my personal knowledge of hallucinogenic drugs, before having this conversation, was basically non-existent. Now I'm curious to see the directions that things are heading in, and just how much good can come from something that millions have gone to prison across the world for previously.
