It’s time to lift the snobbery of the psychedelic space and accept that recreational spaces are just as valid, beautiful, healing and meaningful as ceremonial or therapeutic spaces. Creating meaningful recreational experiences comes down to pscyho-education, preparation, following harm reduction protocols, set, and setting (no surprise there).Join me for this incredible episode with DanceSafe, a non-profit committed to ending the drug war and promoting health and safety within nightlife and music communities.Jessica Breemen, Chief Growth & Impact Officer at DanceSafe, gives us important risk reduction and benefit maximization information for the recreational setting. The purpose of this episode is to provide accurate and potentially life saving information information; it is not intended to promote drug use, rather, to shine a light on the reality of recreational containers, which is so far from the “drug-war” narrative.As we move into social acceptance of psychedelics, I believe that it’s crucial that we do not stigmatize certain types of use while allowing others. Humans have been altering their consciousness with a wide variety of substances forever, and will continue to do so. It makes no sense to gatekeep and stigmatize certain substances while allowing other largely toxic and harmful ones — alcohol — to be so freely used and accepted.Topics covered:This history and mission behind DanceSafeStigmas and myths about recreational drug useThe reality of adulteration and how to reduce riskEarly signs of dependency & problematic use to look out forHarm reduction tips to employ for all substancesRisk education & benefit maximization protocols for MDMA, Ketamine, LSD and MushroomsThe importance of mindset and community when engaging in recreational psychedelicsHow to properly “test before you ingest” with reagentsWhat you need to know about FentanylThe sacredness of (safe) nightlife culture/the rave & why preserving it is importantShow Links:DanceSafe Reagent Testing KitsRollKit - LANA for 10% offDonate to DanceSafeVolunteer with DanceSafeDrug Use for Grown-Ups by Dr. Carl Hart [book]Zendo ProjectShow NotesIf this episode sparked something within, please let me know and leave a review! 1:1 Coaching with LanaInstagram | Facebook  | WebsiteModern Psychedelics Integration JournalDISCLAIMER: Modern Psychedelics does not endorse or support the illegal consumption of any substances.
