Welcome to Webdelics, the podcast where we dive deep into the truths and myths around psychedelics and plant medicine. In today’s episode, host Scott Mason sits down with Aaron Mastny—a trauma worker, coach, and someone with an intimate, lived experience with addiction and psychedelics. Aaron shares his remarkable journey: from his early days of heroin and ketamine abuse, battling shame and trauma, to his powerful transformation into a guide for others seeking healing. Together, Scott and Aaron tackle some of the most complex questions around ketamine—moving beyond its reputation as a party drug to explore its potential as a tool for healing deep-seated trauma. Aaron doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff, opening up about the tragic loss that jolted him out of substance abuse, the dark moments of addiction, and what firsthand integration of psychedelic experiences into real, everyday healing actually looks like. Blending personal stories, science, and spirituality, this conversation breaks down why integration is just as critical as the psychedelic journey itself, and how community, self-awareness, intention, and practical emotional skills can transform suffering into genuine healing. If you've ever wondered about the real difference between recreational and therapeutic use of psychedelics—or are curious how tools like ketamine can fit into a bigger picture of trauma recovery and personal transformation—this episode is for you. Tune in for a conversation that’s as raw and real as it is hopeful.

Welcome to another episode of Webdelics, the podcast where we peel back the layers of myth and misinformation to explore the real science—and the mysteries—behind psychedelics and plant medicines. In this episode, host Scott Mason sits down with Dr. Deanna Kaplan, a clinical psychologist and assistant professor at Emory University School of Medicine, for a fascinating conversation about the cutting-edge research into psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA. Together, they dive into why the science around these substances is still so new and what it means for anyone considering a psychedelic journey today. Dr. Kaplan explains how decades of legal restrictions have left us with a scientific field in its infancy, why most current studies are small and limited, and what we do—and don’t—know about the safety and risks involved. They also tackle big questions about consciousness, the metaphysical experiences reported on psychedelics, and whether traditional scientific methods can truly capture the transformative, symbolic nature of these journeys. Plus, they discuss where the field is headed, the importance of building a broader scientific knowledge base, and what makes psychedelics unique compared to other medicines. Get ready for an honest, wide-ranging conversation that’s equal parts science, philosophy, and personal insight. Whether you’re curious about the latest research, considering your own psychedelic experience, or just hungry for a deeper understanding of the psychedelic renaissance, this episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas that will stay with you long after you listen.
