About Psychedelic Pathways Magazine

Psychedelic Pathways explores the intersection of two desires that many humans share: to alter perception of the world in which they live, and to stay safe while doing so.

You've heard them: whispers about the healing power of psychedelics, how they've helped others rewrite old narratives, dissolve fear, or reconnect with hidden parts of themselves.

You've also heard words of warning: stories of psychedelic experiments gone awry, causing real harm to real people.

Add to this the very real chance that what you've been told about psychedelics over your lifetime is untrue.

We offer stories, research, and foundational knowledge to help you make informed decisions.

We give you thought-provoking, accurate, and deeply personal perspectives from courageous seekers that meet you wherever you are on your path.

Everything on our pages is crafted with care to engage your mind and spirit.

We’re not here to push one way of thinking.

Your journey is yours, and we respect that.

Because the decision to engage with any mind-altering substance is, ultimately, yours alone.

Our contributors create for people like you, who know there is more to learn in the realm of psychedelics than what they've been taught.

In the pages of Psychedelic Pathways we're reminded that change is close at hand.

If you're brave enough to dive in, we’re thrilled to have you.
