In this episode, Beth sat down with Jules Evans, an author, director of the Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project, and editor of Ecstatic Integration. Join them as they discuss the positivity bias in the psychedelic industry and the challenges some face including “bad trips,” abuse, and the risks associated with taking psychedelics. Jules shares his personal experience with psychological difficulties following a bad trip and how it led him to explore cognitive behavioral therapy, stoicism, and ultimately, the intersection of philosophy and psychedelics. They also discuss the importance of informed consent in psychedelic practices, the future of the industry, and the ongoing research Jules is doing aimed at enhancing understanding and safety in psychedelic use.
