Welcome back to Webdelics, where we dive deep into the realities—light and shadow—of transformative medicines and healing journeys. In this episode, host Scott Mason sits down with Nahum Vizakis, whose experience with ibogaine and other plant medicines has been nothing short of life-changing. Together, they talk candidly about the power and risks of ibogaine ceremonies, including its reputation as one of the most intense treatments for addiction and personal transformation. Nahum Vizakis shares his personal path: from thousands of ayahuasca ceremonies to four flood doses of iboga, describing not only the cosmic and sometimes terrifying visions brought on by these medicines, but the profound integration and change that followed. But this is not just a highlight reel of spiritual breakthroughs. We also explore the darker side of healing spaces, the importance of safety and responsible facilitation, and the pitfalls of synthetic substances like ketamine—especially when used recklessly or as an escape. Through intimate storytelling and unflinching honesty, Nahum Vizakis reminds us that real healing means facing our deepest fears, choosing authenticity, and doing the work. Whether you’re curious about the healing potential of psychedelics, the necessity of safe guidance, or simply seeking real stories from the edges of awakening, this episode promises to challenge, educate, and inspire.
