Noteworthy quotes from this episode:
“Use Ketamine first because it can be an introductory [psychedelic] and that might be all you need. It's accessible, it's super, super safe, it's legal and the effects are short lasting, but the after effects are long lasting. So it really is like a good primer for psychedelics.”
“The biggest side effect is really that enhanced mood that lasts up to two weeks after, even if you're just doing the one dose. Clients report just feeling more energy, feeling a sense of lightness, you know just more joy, understanding and peace.”
