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.

Preparing for Your First Inner Journey: Setting Intentions, Overcoming Fear, and Finding Safety
Welcome to another mind-expanding episode of Webdelics! Today, host Scott Mason sits down with the vibrant Uzo—producer, educator, DJ, and festival creator—to explore the all-important topic of preparing for your first consciousness-expanding experience.
If you’ve been curious about the mysterious realm of sacred plant work but have felt a bit of fear or uncertainty holding you back, this conversation is for you.
Scott opens up about his own past—growing up with trauma, overcoming years of anxiety and PTSD, and his evolving feelings about alternative healing practices as tools for growth and transformation. In an honest and vulnerable moment, he reveals his decision to embark on his very first plant-based journey, and seeks Uzo’s advice on how to approach it with intention, safety, and respect.
Uzo shares his own path into expanded states of awareness, from a spontaneous encounter with mushrooms to the carefully crafted rituals and preparation he now brings to his personal practice and group events. Together, they break down the art of setting clear intentions, managing fear, what to expect from the experience, and essential tips for both “set” (your mindset) and “setting” (your environment).
Whether you’re preparing for your own inner journey, supporting a loved one, or just fascinated by the potential of consciousness-expanding tools to heal and transform, there is plenty of wisdom, humor, and heart in this episode.
