Thank you for the opportunity to speak on "mainstreaming psych edelic education for clinicians" at PS2025.

Fantastic turnout!

And, surprise, would you believe 4 of 5 audience Qs were about drug interactions?! 🤯

Feels so great to celebrate PS2025 with friends and colleagues old and new.

It's absolutely amazing to see so many familiar faces without a screen between us.

And I feel so loved, valued, and appreciated here.

To receive the outpouring of gratitude and hear directly from clinicians, policy makers, and persons on their healing path how my work has touched them or affected change in ways big and small is mind blowing.

Thank God for this life 🥰

At tomorrow’s workshop, we’ll take a deep dive into the cardiovascular risks and effects of psychedelics—an essential topic for any facilitator, clinician, or guide supporting altered states of consciousness.

We’ll explore how substances like psilocybin, L*D, DMT, ketamine, and M**A affect the cardiovascular system, how to screen for risk, and what to do when complications arise. You'll also get practical tools for assessing client safety and reviewing real-world case examples.

It’s not too late to join! We’ll begin Saturday, May 17th from 9–11:30am Mountain Time (MT).

I'll aim to:
🎯 Outline a systematic rationale for cardiovascular screening prior to psychedelic experiences
🎯 Describe the hemodynamic effects of ketamine and serotonergic psychedelics and their clinical implications
🎯 Recognize key cardiovascular risk factors, stratify risk severity, and assess medication profiles
🎯 Understand emergency preparedness strategies and harm reduction approaches to mitigate cardiovascular complications
🎯 Critically evaluate the gaps in current clinical trial data and their relevance to real-world practice
🎯 Review case example intake forms and discuss their contents

Registration is $35 and includes:
✔️ Live access to the full webinar
✔️ A copy of the video recording
✔️ Downloadable PDF slide deck

The workshop will consist of a 60–75 min lecture, short break, 30–40 min case discussion, and 30 min Q&A session.

M**A-assisted couples therapy is gaining attention as a way to deepen intimacy, resolve conflict, and reconnect emotionally. But it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution and can even result in damage if details are not considered carefully.

In my latest blog, I break down:
- When M**A is and isn't appropriate for couples
- How it works pharmacologically and relationally
- Key safety and screening considerations
- Preparation and integration best practices
- What actually happens in a well-structured session

If you’re curious about the intersection of love and psychedelics, this guide is for you.

Are you prepared to navigate the cardiovascular risks of psychedelic use?

As psychedelics become more widely used in both therapeutic and spiritual settings, it’s essential that facilitators and healthcare providers understand the most they can regarding potential cardiovascular risks—particularly for individuals with pre-existing conditions or elevated risk factors.

On Saturday May 17th, 9a–11:30a Mountain Time (MT), I’ll be hosting a webinar workshop in which I’ll aim to:

🎯 Outline a systematic rationale for cardiovascular screening prior to psychedelic experiences
🎯 Describe the hemodynamic effects of ketamine and serotonergic psychedelics and their clinical implications
🎯 Recognize key cardiovascular risk factors, stratify risk severity, and assess medication profiles
🎯 Discuss emergency preparedness strategies and harm reduction approaches
🎯 Critically evaluate limitations in current clinical trial data and relevance to real-world practice

In this workshop, we’ll explore the pharmacology of various psychedelic substances including psilocybin, L*D, DMT, M**A, and ketamine. You’ll learn how to assess cardiovascular safety, identify red flags, and build confidence in your screening and preparation protocols. We’ll also walk through real-world intake forms and case examples.

This workshop is intended for clinicians, psychedelic facilitators, integration coaches, and retreat center operators who want to deepen their medical literacy and risk mitigation strategies when supporting psychedelic experiences. Eligible for Oregon Psilocybin Continuing Facilitator Education credit.

Registration is $35 and includes the live webinar, access to a video recording, and downloadable PDF slides. The workshop will consist of a 60–75 min lecture, short break, 30–40 min case discussion, and 30 min Q&A session.

Workshop registration is open at: https://www.spiritpharmacist.com/offers/pd6AtCrx/checkout

Paracelsus, often considered the father of toxicology, once said "All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison" which could be translated into: The difference between medicine and poison is ALWAYS or ONLY dose.

While the sentiment of Paracelsus' wisdom certainly could apply to many psychedelics, the absolute nature of the statement cannot be.

There are examples of psychedelics like psilocybin or L*D which practically defy the usual or typical patterns of toxicology and are not physically toxic even at 10x usual doses.

Then there other substances such as M**A that follow much more traditional toxicologic profiles when overdosed.

With psychedelic substances, beyond considering a physical safety profile and risks of particular substances and doses, we understand deeply that 'set and setting' and 'support and integration' can make the difference between medicine and poison with psychedelic substances.

The lesson?

If you want your experiences to be medicine, then plan your trips, pick your surroundings and support services with equal weight or more as the choice of substance and dose of it:

Know can both make differences between medicines and poisons.

Heads up that time is running out to take advantage of White Light Weekend or 50% off of any or all of my evidence based courses in psychedelic pharmacology.

The offer expires tonight or Dec 2nd at midnight. Visit my course pages and enter code WHITELIGHT24 at checkout to redeem this offer or use the links with discounts already applied below.

Check out my offerings in detail and snag the discounts before midnight.

I don’t offer discounts deeper than this on my courses at any other time of year. It really is the best time to enroll if you’re wanting to take your knowledge of psychedelic pharmacology to the next level.

My highest recommendation is to seriously consider the Clinical Pharmacology of Psychedelics, my new course that covers mental health, drug interactions, adverse effects, and therapeutic uses.

Plus it’s dripping six more content modules in 2025 with an opportunity for any person enrolled in the course to attend the classes live.

It’s a big bonus and not something I’ve ever offered with pre-recorded course content in the past.

White Light Weekend is here and providing the deepest discounts or half off any or all of my courses including my BRAND NEW release, the Clinical Pharmacology of Psychedelics.

What exactly are my courses offering though?

My brand new course, The Clinical Pharmacology of Psychedelics, completes the 3-part premium course series or the Psychedelic Pharmacology Master Series.

The Master Series begins with the Foundation to Psychedelic Pharmacology, which aims to build basic knowledge of neuropharmacology and psychedelic science.

The series progresses with the Psychedelic Pharmacology by Substance, that takes learners on a deep dive into the pharmacology of nine of the most commonly used psychedelics with therapeutic potential.

Finally, the series concludes with The Clinical Pharmacology of Psychedelics! This course brings in mental health and does into detail on how psychedelic drugs interact with various classes of psychotropic medications.

The course incudes modules on adverse effects as well as therapeutic uses. As a bonus feature, my new course is also going to continue dripping live content in 2025.

Every course in the Master Series features gold standard educational designs, clear lesson objectives, knowledge checkpoints and are evidence-based.

The two other courses I have don't go quite as deep as the Psychedelic Pharmacology Master Series, but also don't skimp on science and are some of the most popular courses I have.

Breakthrough Psychedelics focuses on the clinical frontrunning psychedelics, M**A, psilocybin, and ketamine.

Antidepressants and Psychedelics: Antidepressant Tapering in Preparation for Psychedelic Therapies focuses on antidepressants, particularly SSRIs and SNRIs.

You can learn about the content of each course in detail by heading over to my course store and visiting the respective program pages https://www.spiritpharmacist.com/store

The sale expires Mon Dec 2nd at midnight so don’t wait!

I would say that 2024 has been a rough ride for the psychedelic renaissance. There have been some major set backs in the field and medicalization process.

I still firmly believe the train has left the station and there's too much positive data and support to stop this movement, but how it unfolds from here is indeterminate.

I believe we are an important stage in which psychedelics are well into early adoption phases. A shift from overzealous hype to optimistic caution has occurred with an increased focus on risks of adverse effects.

It's a moment in time when how much persons know about what they're getting into, the potential benefits and risks of psychedelic use, and what kinds of medications they may mix it with is incredibly important. It really could make the difference and shape the course of this movement.

It's always been a key pillar of my mission here at Spirit Pharmacist for these exact reasons. I want to help expand awareness and knowledge to allow the psychedelic renaissance.

To facilitate and spearhead these educational needs I'm offering White Light Weekend:

Now or November 28th through Dec 2nd at midnight enjoy 50% off any or all of my evidence-based and scientifically oriented psychedelic pharmacology courses.

Simply visit my course page and enter code WHITELIGHT24 at checkout to redeem this offer or use the links with discounts already applied below.

This year, white light weekend is truly special because I'm simultaneously launching my new course, The Clinical Pharmacology of Psychedelics. This is really the one I think many of you have wanted and been waiting for as it delves into psychotropic drug interactions with psychedelics like no other resource I've ever created.

Let’s make this renaissance as safe and smooth as we can, let’s start with knowing our substance!
