Ideas Worth Sharing:
“I would say that we are in the awkward teen phase of the [plant medicine] movement right now. You’re trying to figure out your identity, you’re trying to figure out what matters to you, you’re trying to figure out who your friends are and who aren’t, and what your future will be, and it is messy and highly emotional.” - Jimmy Nguyen
“Convenience is not the number one factor to select a guide.” - Nicholas Levich
“The psychedelic is just the tool, and at the end of the day it’s what we do with it and how we use it that dictates the outcome.” - Nicholas Levich
