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.

Ep. 172 How Early Psychedelic Experiences Can Open You Up To A Psychedelic Life (feat. Dawn Lester)

Many of us who come to the realm of psychedelic medicines innately understand that much of what we are told is true in our world is completely backwards. From medicine & healthcare, to how we grow our food, our laws, what we understand about consciousness & more, it’s clear that many of us come to these medicines to subtract from the equation of ourselves with all of our beliefs, stories, etc. to have the opportunity to get a clearer view of what’s really going on within this experience we call life. Today’s guest on the show is a woman who connected with psychedelics early on in her life &, as Terrance McKenna famously states, “got the message & was able to hang up the phone”. Those early experiences inspired her & allowed her to break free of the societal programming holding her back & tap into her dharma in this lifetime, which is to help the world wake up through her books, of which she has 2, including “What Really Makes You Ill” & “You Don’t Have To Stay There”. This episode is sure to open your mind to new possibilities & spark curiosity throughout your entire being so get ready & give me a big hand as I welcome my dear friend Dawn Lester onto the show!
