Hot Goss with Holly Regan: Extended DMT States & Ethical Psychedelics
In this episode, Shelby and Holly Regan, a journalist at the forefront of psychedelic research reporting, talk about the groundbreaking development of extended DMT states, called DMTx, and its implications for consciousness research. Holly discusses their investigative work on how scientists are exploring technologies to prolong the DMT experience, traditionally known as the 'businessman’s trip,’ potentially revolutionizing our understanding of the mind and reality. The conversation also touches on the ethical considerations of such research, the role of media in responsibly reporting on psychedelic advancements, and the societal impacts of commodifying spiritual experiences. Holly’s critical insights challenge mainstream representations and advocate for a more nuanced portrayal of psychedelics that includes diverse voices and perspectives. This episode not only explores the potential of DMT to unlock new realms of human consciousness but also emphasizes the importance of ethical journalism and cultural sensitivity in the rapidly evolving psychedelic space.
