The #1 Question You're Asking (But Not Out Loud!)
Where Do I Get It?
š„ Letās Get Going With Self-Care Through Psychedelics! š„
Todayās newsletter is all about resources! š
ā The #1 thing youāve been asking me about is access.
š§āš« The psychedelics free workshop Iām holding online next week.
š Something you might want to read.
Letās get started!
First Up: You Asked So Here You Go!
This #1 question people have asked me is āwhere can they get psychedelics?ā. š This is really tricky because psychedelics are criminalized in most places. As a result, I shy away from making any suggestions because no one wants to engage in anything that isnāt above board, myself included!
There is one exception to this and that is an Ann Arbor, Michigan based company called SoulCybin.
They offer micro- and macro-dosing products.
The interesting thing about SoulCybin is the fact that they set themselves up as a religious organization to take advantage of an exemption in the laws that criminalize psychedelics.
Itās a private membership organization that is free to join and you donāt āpurchaseā products from them, you make ādonationsā. The suggested ādonationā is listed next to each of their products. They ship throughout the United States, but not outside of the US.
When you visit their website, youāll see their their psilocybin products are produced in the form of capsules (thereby leaving no nasty taste like with dried mushrooms), gummies and chocolates.
Their website is full of really helpful information and their customer support has a wealth of knowledge in helping you select what is right for you.
One note for easy reference: when you see references to the number of milligrams (eg., 50mg, 100mg, 200mg), you always have to convert it to grams so you can understand how much youāre taking. For most people on the internet who talk about microdosing, they report somehwere between .1-.15 grams so that would be equal to 100mg - 150mg.
This dosage does not produce any type of psychedelic effects but once you start increasing the amount, you might start experiencing other effects.
As for dosing for the purpose of psychedelic trips, this is something you will experiment with slowly to see what your body will tolerate but you MUST go slowly. You do NOT want to start with a dose of .5 grams or 1 gram unless you are fully prepared before hand and have your support system well in place.
Note that credit cards are not accepted on their website. Their only payment options are Zelle and Bitcoin.
All product ingredients are listed next to each product.

How: No need to register, just show up! :)
Sometimes it helps to have someone guide you on your journey and that journey starts long before you take psychedelics. Itās about the period of time where you are right now where youāre looking at psychedelics for healing but havenāt, as of yet, taken action. Itās not like youāre on the fence. Itās can be more like an inability to move forward.
In the upcoming workshop, Iām going to be joined by Daniel Such who probably knows more about psychedelic trips than anyone Iāve ever met. Heās been a trip sitter for more than 1,500 individual trips, has been a facilitator at more than 60 group retreats at a psychedelic retreat in Jamaica and is an expert in the integration process that follows a psychedelic experience. Suffice it to say, youāre not likely to have access to someone more experienced than Dan. Heās also just about to publish a book about Psychedelics so he is a wealth of information and a truly great guy! I once said to him that, despite his young age, he reminded me of the author, Joseph Campbell!
During our hour together, youāll get to ask your questions as well as hear Dan talk about the psychedelic experience in ways that most people donāt. Itās sure to will leave you with a renewed sense of hope and possibility.
Something Else That Might Be Helpful
I was really skeptical of this book when I first bought it but my skepticism disappeared shortly after opening the book.
Let me tell you a story first.
There was a boy in elementary school that was acting out all over the place in a particular class at school. His parents, teacher, administrators were all flummoxed about why he was acting the way he was.
One day, the school changed out the teacher and all of a sudden, the boy was acting like his normal self.
What everyone discovered was that the regular teacher wore a particular cologne to school each day that was actually a trigger for the boy, a trigger that was about an adult male in his life that had been abusive to him.
This story is from the book Iām talking about and explains SO many things about why our lives turn out the way they do. It helps us to better understand that the things that happened to us during childhood can manifest in ways we could never imagine.
As such, I think it would be an incredible read for many of you as you are of an age when a lot of developmental trauma occurred and you bore the brunt of it. You grew into adult life with that trauma being triggered all over the place and never realized it was all because of āWhat Happened To You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience and Healingā which is the name of the book.
OK, thatās it for today! Hopefully these resources will continue supporting you in your journey toward self-care and healing!
