In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, I sit down with Simon Ruffell — a lecturer, psychiatrist, psychedelic researcher, and trainee shaman — to explore one of the most fascinating and controversial areas of modern science and consciousness.

We dive deep into the world of psychedelics, discussing their potential benefits for mental health, the risks and misconceptions surrounding them, and the growing political and cultural debate shaping their future. Simon breaks down the importance of set and setting, explaining why mindset and environment are crucial in determining whether these experiences lead to healing or harm.

This is a powerful conversation that challenges perspectives, expands understanding, and explores the intersection of science, spirituality, and human transformation.
