Welcome back to Webdelics! In today’s episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of psilocybin with our special guest, Maggie Kirkwood. Joined by host Scott Mason, Maggie shares her very personal journey with plant medicine, exploring how psychedelics—specifically magic mushrooms—helped her not only overcome alcohol dependence but also navigate profound grief and loss. From microdosing her way out of daily drinking to experiencing mystical connections with loved ones during guided journeys, Maggie opens up about her struggles, healing, and the invaluable lessons learned through both trauma and triumph. Together, Scott and Maggie discuss the stigma around mental health and psychedelics, the culture of alcohol in the Midwest, the importance of intention and integration, and practical advice for anyone curious about starting their own journey with plant medicine. If you’ve ever wondered how mushrooms can illuminate your “inner kingdom,” or simply want to hear an honest, hope-filled story of recovery and reconnection, this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction 06:14 Curiosity Around Microdosing Mushrooms 07:09 Intentional Healing With Mushrooms 12:33 Psilocybin: Connection Amid Loneliness 15:53 Understanding Microdosing Psilocybin 18:09 Microdosing: Transformative Commitment Explained 23:09 Microdosing, Grief, and Healing 25:05 Mushrooms: Profound Self-Discovery Tool 30:20 Intentionality Through Trial and Error 33:27 Healing Through Grief and Loss 36:54 Cycle of Life and Grief 40:32 Profound Mystical Experience 43:12 Integrating Mystical Experiences Mindfully 47:19 Trusting Medicine and the Process 49:33 Psychedelic Journeys: Start Small 54:08 Connect, Subscribe, Explore Webdelics 55:23 Conclusion
