This One Time On Psychedelics
Welcome, fellow explorers of the infinite.
If you’re here, it means you’re ready to step beyond the ordinary and into the great unfolding mystery of existence itself. Because psychedelics? They’re not just substances—they’re a doorway to a new way of seeing reality, a lens that reveals the hidden layers of reality we walk through every day. And that’s exactly what we explore here.
I’m Ryan Sprague, and This One Time On Psychedelics isn’t just about trippy stories and wild journeys (though trust me, we have plenty of those). It’s about the conversations that hold the power to awaken us, to shift our consciousness, and to remind us that there is far more to this reality than meets the eye.
These are the conversations that expand hearts, challenge perspectives, and guide us back to the wisdom that has always been within us. Whether through plant medicines, altered states, or the everyday magic woven into life itself, this is a space where we step beyond the known and into the infinite.
The psychedelic renaissance is here. The future is unwritten. And you, my friend, are a part of it.
So buy the ticket. Take the ride. And let’s see how deep this trip goes.
This One Time On Psychedelics
Episode 161: Relationships Are The Ultimate Psychedelic Experience (feat. Rachel Varitimos)
What’s up everybody?! I hope you’re all having the absolute best day ever & recently, I’ve been thinking a lot into how relationships, for me anyways, are the ultimate psychedelic experience as, for one, they are the ultimate mirrors back to you & for two, if you can move past the ego traps associated with being triggered in relationships, you can experience the pure divinity on the other side of them, just as is possible with psychedelics. As such, for this weeks episode, I had many of you reach out after Rachel & I’s last podcast saying you wanted more of what we’ve gone through, what our relationship looks like these days & how we’ve persevered being with each other for the last 7 years through all our trials & tribulations & as such, I wanted to have her back to give you guys what you were asking for & to speak vulnerably about all the ins & outs of our relationship. We start out the episode with a quick recap of the last few weeks of our lives before heading into all the juicy, vulnerable aspects of our relationship so sit back, enjoy the show & give me a big hand in welcoming my beautiful partner Rachel Varitimos back to the show!
