Scott Mason: A Future of Possibilities

01/03/23 • 18 min

Over the past few years, plant medicine and psychedelics have started to take the world by storm. The possibilities of psychedelics seem endless – they promise to help people become more creative, reconnect with their spirituality, become more empathetic, and even treat serious conditions like depression, PTSD and more.

But what is the truth behind psychedelics? Are there good reasons plant medicine has been outlawed for decades? Why are more pharmacologists and doctors than ever before flocking to psychedelics to help their patients? What are psychedelics, how can they change the world, and more importantly – how can they potentially change us?

This podcast will get the answers from people you can trust – doctors, scientists, researchers, journalists, attorneys and more. We’ll also hear from people who have used psychedelics to get a firsthand look at how plant medicine heals.

It’s an exciting time to learn about the world of psychedelics, and I’m glad you’re here to join me.

Psychedelics: Changing minds since prehistoric times. Yet, most people remain ill-informed about plant medicine and its potential applications. Even those seeking to educate themselves will find their online research limited to either misinformation, anti-drug campaigns, or inaccessibly academic papers.

Welcome to The Webdelics Podcast hosted by Scott Mason where we aim to serve as an educational platform and the first touchpoint in peoples’ psychedelic journeys.
