Webinar June 17th 2025 Jules Evans: The Psychedelic Industry’s Entity Dilemma - Sometimes, even quite often, people encounter ‘entities’ on psychedelics, which may give them messages, heal them or sometimes seem to threaten them or cause them harm.

In the current second major wave of psychedelic research, psilocybin has received much more attention than LSD.
