Episode I: Intention

We introduce the listener to the key concepts in the series. What is a psychedelic? What is psychedelic therapy and how to set yourself up for a successful experience by setting an “intention.” We do the same for the series. In addition, we breakdown the hierarchy of psychedelics by bringing the listener into a Ayahuasca ceremony with “New Yorker” writer Emily Witt. Finally, we discuss the power of micro-dosing and the safe consumption of psychedelics with multiplatinum hip hop artist and producer Belly who joins Maejor in conversation about psilocybin from his studio-aptly titled LSD in Los Angeles.

• Notable Figures: Belly, Dr. Julie Holland, Rick Doblin, Emily Witt

Insightful & engaging!

I loved Maejor’s last podcast (frequency) so was so excited for this one. Episode 1 did not disappoint!! Such a good intro to the different types of psychedelics & I really enjoyed the section on ayahuasca. Love the mix between science & spirituality & the respect shown to the medicine. The guests were knowledgable & the music & production really helps take you into another world. Can’t wait to hear the rest.

Great Information and Story, but Distracting Sound Effects

The excessive use of sound effects, especially the repeating, echoing, and shifting voices, is misplaced and incredibly distracting. It detracts from the content so much that it’s hard to focus, despite wanting to engage with the material.
