Nick Polega shares his personal journey and experiences with psychedelic medicine, specifically psilocybin. He started using psilocybin recreationally in college but soon realized that there was more to it than just a recreational drug. He delved deeper into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics and found that they brought a new level of awareness and understanding to his life. Nick now works with psychedelic clinics across the country and helps them improve their processes and systems. Nick's journey with psychedelics began at the age of 20 when he read "The Psychedelic Experience" by Timothy Leary. Intrigued by the ancient use of psychedelic substances for healing and transformation, Nick started exploring psilocybin, commonly known as magic mushrooms. However, his initial recreational use did not align with his expectations of transformation. It was only when he approached psychedelics with intention and a deeper understanding that he began to experience their true power. One of the most profound impacts of psychedelic medicine is the heightened level of self-awareness it brings. Through his own experiences, Nick discovered that psychedelics allowed him to connect with his subconscious and gain a deeper understanding of himself and the world around him. This newfound awareness enabled him to identify his triggers, understand the nuances of life, and approach challenges with a more centered mindset.
