This One Time On Psychedelics

Ryan Spraguewww.mazeltm.com

Welcome, fellow explorers of the infinite.


If you’re here, it means you’re ready to step beyond the ordinary and into the great unfolding mystery of existence itself. Because psychedelics? They’re not just substances—they’re a doorway to a new way of seeing reality, a lens that reveals the hidden layers of reality we walk through every day. And that’s exactly what we explore here.


I’m Ryan Sprague, and This One Time On Psychedelics isn’t just about trippy stories and wild journeys (though trust me, we have plenty of those). It’s about the conversations that hold the power to awaken us, to shift our consciousness, and to remind us that there is far more to this reality than meets the eye. 


These are the conversations that expand hearts, challenge perspectives, and guide us back to the wisdom that has always been within us. Whether through plant medicines, altered states, or the everyday magic woven into life itself, this is a space where we step beyond the known and into the infinite.


The psychedelic renaissance is here. The future is unwritten. And you, my friend, are a part of it.


So buy the ticket. Take the ride. And let’s see how deep this trip goes.

Episodes

Episode 86: The Captains Code For A Psychedelically Exciting Life ( feat. Taylor Morgan)

In todays episode, I sit down with the captain himself, captain Taylor Morgan. Taylor & I were able to connect & do a deep dive into his psychedelic experiences while at our mutual friend Mark Englands lakehouse & when I say that not only this episode, but that entire experience with him was a wild ride, trust that I am coming correct with that statement. From breaking into peoples houses to creating a mission as big as the seven seas, Taylor has had an epic journey & in this epi...

Episode 85: Tales From The Trip (feat. Mike Bledsoe)

Okay guys, in this episode with my man Mike Bledsoe, we dove into many stories from our own psychedelic experiences within our lives, shared some laughs & created an epic heart flow for all of your bliss-tening pleasure. Mike is a very good friend of mine & I have learned a lot from him over the years & it was an honor & a pleasure to have him back on the show to dive into a more off the cuff, laugh driven episode. So, with that being said, strap on your curiosity caps & enjo...

Episode 84: The Adventures Of A Psychonaut (feat. Kyle Kingsbury)

One thing I mention often on this show that I feel bears repeating is the idea that our lives themselves are a psychedelic experience. For any of you listening to this show right now, I want you to take a trip down memory lane with me as we take a second to think about the many paths we’ve walked down, the paths we’ve taken a detour from at a certain point & the path or paths we feel we’re walking down currently in our lives & begin to see how each of them, no matter how independent of o...

Episode 83: How Psychedelics Can Help Save The World (feat. Stephen Gray)

For many of us who are curious observers of the world around us, I imagine it has been easy to tell that our world is going through a shakening up of sorts as of late. Whether it’s with mental health, climate change, politics, war, or simply a general underlying feeling of tension & angst, it is clear to see something is shifting, yet in order to have this shift be able to make us into a new, more balanced & harmonious society, rather than break us down into more of the same, outdated wa...

Episode 82: Leading The Charge In Psychedelic Education (feat. Paul Austin)

One thing I imagine we can all agree on when it comes to the realm of psychedelics & plant medicines is that it is up to each one of us to BE the change, so to speak, within this realm. For a subject that has been controversial for so long & has the ability to offer so much support in the human experience when done in the proper context or do so much damage when done without proper awareness of the potency associated with these medicines, it is by each of us showing the world what consci...

Episode 81: Inducing Altered States Through Sensory Deprivation (feat. Max Casa)

As many of you may be aware, although we can access psychedelic states through connecting with sacred plant medicines, we can also do so by releasing our own endogenous hallucinogenic compounds, such as endogenous DMT. Popular modalities such as breathwork have become well known for being able to allow us to experience this concept, however, one other modality that is not spoken about often with regards to endogenous DMT & psychedelic states is that of float therapy. Todays guest on the show...

Episode 80: Riding The Edges Of The Human Experience (feat. Jeff Depatie)

When we take a second to contemplate upon the idea of psychedelic & plant medicines, one thing that can be objectively said regarding them is that in one way or another, they will allow us to explore the edges of the human experience when we go into our experiences with them. For some of us, such as todays guest on the show, exploring these edges can give us great solace in life in the understanding that it is in riding the edges of our human experience that we can not only grow, but that we...

Episode 79: Connecting With Sacred Plants To Find Our Place In The Universe (feat. Noah Vilgrain)

For me & I imagine many of you listening to this show right now, I felt as though I didn’t fit into the world around me for a long time. Looking back in hindsight, it wasn’t that I objectively did not fit in, but rather, it was the feeling of not wanting to fit in to a broken system that led to me feeling flawed for so much of my young life. When we’re young, we lack the life experience & self awareness to accept ourselves for who we truly are in many cases & instead, look to the wor...

Episode 78: Sacred Journeys Within Medicine Work, ET Encounters & More (feat. Drew Bankey)

For anyone who has experienced the realms of plant medicines & psychedelics, I imagine we can all agree when I say that there are some aspects of these journeys that can leave us with more questions than answers. When we tap into these realms, we are not only able to communicate with the plants, but we are also able to communicate with various life forms & off planet intelligence. Todays guest on the show is a man who is an expert in the fore mentioned realms & much, much more. He is...

Episode 77: Viewing Music, Sound & Frequencies Through A Psychedelic Lens (feat. Ian Morris)

Oftentimes when I sit in ceremony with plant medicines & psychedelics alike, I am enamored not only by the effects these medicines can produce, but also by how incredibly unique the experience of music is when connecting with these medicines. The best part about this, in my opinion, is that once I experienced this, music has never been the same in my life since. I truly feel that music IS a psychedelic experience &, for me, the music that todays guest on the show creates is at the absolu...

Episode 76: The Path To Making Our Entire Lives Resemble A Psychedelic Experience (feat. Christopher August)

I imagine all of you listening have heard me refer to the idea of life itself being a psychedelic experience before, however, one of the easiest ways to turn our every day, sober realities into one that is synonymous with the essence & energy we feel within these experiences is by practicing the ancient art form of breathwork. For me, when I began this practice, it completely revolutionized not only my day to day life, but also my experiences with plant medicines & psychedelics alike whe...

Episode 75: Moving Through The Process Of Unlearning & Creating Space (feat. Cal Callahan)

One of the most profound things that psychedelics & plant medicines have illuminated for me is the importance of questioning everything I think I know. The art of questioning is something that I feel is an innate human quality as it is from questioning what we think we know that we are able to dig deeper into our experience of life, consciously choose what we want to believe about life as individuals & as a result, become individuated & sovereign in nature. Todays guest on the show i...

Episode 74: Exploring Shamanism & The Path Of A Maestro (feat. Hamilton Souther)

With the ever growing popularity within the plant medicine & psychedelic space, it is imperative that we as individuals who are looking to connect with these medicines do so with the proper guidance & protection. The same way that if you are looking to become a doctor, you must go through an immense amount of schooling & training to ensure you are fit for that service, the same goes within these spaces & I feel it is more important than ever that we ensure that we are learning fr...

Episode 73: Expressing The Importance Of Safety In the Psychedelic Space (feat. Josh Trent)

Speaking to my own experiences within the realm of plant medicines, I have found one of the most potent effects from these experiences to be the ability for me to deepen my physical, emotional, mental & spiritual intelligence. For me, intelligence has been far more profound than knowledge, as while knowledge is defined as the collection of skills & information a person has, intelligence is directly related to how an individual applies his or her knowledge to their experience of life. In ...

Episode 72: What Psychedelics Can Teach Us About Life (feat. Danny Cola)

Oftentimes in my life, I have the opportunity to meet someone who the conversation flows effortlessly with & when I dive into their story, I almost always recognize similarities between our journeys, specifically with regards to our psychedelic experiences & our concept of life as a whole. Todays guest on the show is someone who I happened to have that exact experience with & am beyond excited to share with each of you today. He is a man on a mission to create the sense of community ...

Episode 71: Cannabis, Spirituality & How Psychedelics Could Help Save The World (feat. Stephen Gray)

As many of you who have been listening to this show for even a little while know, I am extremely passionate about revealing the true potential & power of Cannabis as a spiritual aid & ally that can serve us in our lives to help us become more self aware & understand ourselves at deeper levels. In doing this, I recognized quite quickly that although I had stumbled upon this notion completely by chance in my own life, this was no new way of viewing Cannabis. Indigenous cultures & o...

Episode 70: Cheech & Chong, Doing Time, & Wisdom From The King Himself (feat. Tommy Chong)

When it comes to the current psychedelic renaissance happening today, I believe the age old notion applies for all of us who call ourselves psychedelic proponents that we are standing on the shoulders of the giants that have paved the way for us thus far. These individuals, like todays guest on the show, have not only risked their freedom, but have done so to be able to destigmatize these medicines & allow them to be slowly re-imagined by society at large as the potent & powerful medicin...

Episode 69: The Practice of Microdosing Effectively (feat. Nate Baumgardner)

Oftentimes when we think about psychedelic & plant medicine experiences, the conversation is based around large doses of these medicines to receive insights, downloads & “aha” moments, however, not only is microdosing an extremely effective methodology for connecting with these medicines, but it also aids in the harm reduction realm in allowing people to experience many of the same benefits without having to have an experience that, for many people, could end up doing more harm than good...

Episode 68: How Our Stories Shape Our Psychedelic Experiences (feat. Kyle Gray)

When it comes to our psychedelic experiences, I have found that one of the main aspects of whether we come out the other side of these experiences seeing them as “good” or “bad” is the stories we have surrounding both what we deem “good” & “bad” experiences & furthermore, how we use the information we gain in our experiences to architect & add to the overall story of our life. Todays guest on the show is a gentleman who is not only a very close & dear friend of mine, but is also ...

Episode 67: Entering Psychedelica With Vulnerability & the Mind of a Child (feat. Ben Stewart)

Within the world of psychedelics & plant medicines alike, it seems as though new information is coming out daily in the present day that is laying credence to the long held beliefs surrounding the potential for physical, emotional, mental & spiritual healing through these medicines. For those of us that have connected with these medicines & teachers & experienced this potential, the beauty of this is that we are finally gaining access to the scientific evidence to support these c...

Episode 66: Exploring Psychedelics & Sobriety’s Roles As Two Sides of the Same Coin (feat. Amy Edwards)

As I have often talked about on this show, connecting with plant medicines & psychedelics alike without the necessary step of integration is synonymous with the idea of asking someone for directions & then ignoring the directions they give to you. Without integration, we are unable to fully “receive” the messages our PEAK experiences with these medicines have the opportunity to give us & as a result, we risk missing out on the gems of wisdom that could potentially help us change our ...

Episode 65: Exploring Mushrooms & Their Potential to Unlock Pleasure, Purpose & Prosperity (feat. Bijou “The Mushroom Mamasita” Finney)

For anyone who has connected with plant medicines & psychedelics before, I imagine it’s no mystery that these medicines & teachers have the ability to bring forth heightened creativity, unlock aspects of our heart & soul’s callings & allow us to take an objective view of the path we are currently on & simultaneously view other paths we could choose to embark upon. This being said, all too often psychedelic enthusiasts have these experiences & fail to take action on them t...

Episode 64: The 411 On Conscious Cannabis (feat. Ariane Williams)

One of my favorite aspects stemming from the realm of plant medicines & psychedelics alike is the never ending questions that I find those who connect with these medicines ask about life as a whole. For me, curiosity, imagination & awe make up some of my favorite states of awareness in life & when I have the opportunity to meet others who not only share a mutual love for these medicines & states but are also passionate about diving into their own investigations into the many myst...

Episode 63: The Importance of Rituals In Our Lives (feat. Jason Pickard)

When we look back in antiquity, our ancestors all had some sort of ritual practice. For me, having a daily ritual practice allows me to have time with myself, by myself, to become still & check in as to how my energy feels each particular day & from that information, I know how to plan my day ahead. In addition, these daily rituals help bring me closer to my innate nature, which I believe is pure awareness witnessing this experience we call life & as such, these rituals allow me to r...

Episode 62: Reframing The Stories We View Our Lives Through With Psychedelics (feat. Jason Skeesick)

Looking back on all of my psychedelic experiences, I can see clearly how each one of them impacted the life I am fortunate enough to live today. This being said, this notion of psychedelics & plant medicines allowing our experience of life to transform is not a given, but Is rather an opportunity that we can open up for ourselves if we choose to connect with these medicines with a clear intention & when back in our sober realities, doing the work necessary to achieve the states of magic ...

Episode 61: Creating Individualized Psychiatric Care With Ketamine & Plant Medicines (feat. Hans Eriksson)

When it comes to the idea of plant medicines & psychedelics as medicines, it is becoming clearer & clearer that one of the most profound ways in which they can operate is in the realm of mental health & moreover, being able to have the ability to create personalized treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders, aka disorders that include both neurology & psychiatry, such as seizures, attention deficit disorders & cognitive deficit disorders. I truly feel that these medicines can...

Episode 60: Learning to Question Everything & Become Individuated With the Help of Plant Medicines (feat. Mark Steeves)

As I imagine many of you listening to this show can agree with, when I first began experimenting with psychedelics & plant medicines, many members of my friends & family group began questioning my path. They would attempt to place their own fears & anxieties surrounding these medicines onto me with the intention of protecting me & in doing so, I was able to flip the script on the story I was telling myself about these actions. At first, I wanted to Rebel & tell myself I knew ...

Episode 59: Shifting Our Perspective With Plant Medicines (feat. Jessie Salas)

If there is one thing I have learned from plant medicines & psychedelics, it’s that what they allow us to realize & see is merely what is already possible within our lives &, in my experience, the true work begins once we’re back in our normal state of consciousness. All too often we hear stories of individuals mistaking these medicines as “necessary” to enter these states when, in reality, these states are already living within us, however, sometimes we forget or get stuck in a limi...

Episode 58: Lessons In How to Protect Ourselves In The Psychedelic Space (feat. Sam Kabert)

As I imagine you can all tell by now, I am absolutely fascinated by the unknown in life. For me, it is this sense of the unknown that, paradoxically, allows me to feel safe in the world. As someone who never agreed with the typical Newtonian, Cartesian way of looking at life, getting into the psychedelic space & diving into the deepest rabbit holes I could possibly find has allowed me to recognize that this entire experience of life is pure magic & my favorite part of doing this show is ...

For anyone who has connected with psychedelics & plant medicines throughout their journey, you know first hand the seemingly infinite unique possibilities present within this world. One of the things I have been obsessed with within my own journey into these realms is understanding the mechanisms behind how these medicines work, both scientifically & spiritually & my current biggest fascination lies within the realm of shamanism. For me, shamanism is a methodology of working with the...
