The Webdelics Podcast is a space where we destigmatize plant medicine by having open conversations around the stories and science of psychedelics. These substances have touched people from all walks of life, and we seek to convey that in the diversity of you all, our guests: From doctors to students; skeptics to shaman; and athletes to high-performance businesspeople.
It goes to show that while our differences are what give life its richness and texture, our similarities are what make us human...a fact that is ultimately unveiled through plant medicine and the psychospiritual portal it opens within us.

Healing, Connection, and Grief: The Transformative Power of Psilocybin in Maggie Kirkwood’s Life
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.
