Real Conversations: The Info Line in Action

Hi Keisha, what inspired you to contact the Psychedelic Info Line?

I’m trying to understand if mushrooms could help with my depression. I don’t want to start on meds, but I really need to feel better.
Keisha

It sounds like life hasn’t been easy for you lately. I can share some research that can help as you weigh your options.
Katie Pickard
Executive Director
Ok great, I really love that your info is evidence-based, it’s a big reason why I made an appointment.
Keisha
Caller
Thank you so much. I feel a lot more confident knowing what to look out for and how to do this safely if I decide to move forward. I’m not rushing into anything, but I finally feel like I have a place to start.

Sound Familiar?

You’re intrigued by the potential of psychedelics for healing or growth, but you’re overwhelmed with questions. Is it safe? How do I prepare? What if it goes wrong?

You’re at the beginning of your journey. Whether you’re just starting to research psychedelics or considering your first experience, you’re here to gather trusted information and guidance, the tenets of the Psychedelic Info Line.

Learn about set, setting, and integration before taking your first step. Understand interactions with medications and how to minimize risks. We’ll help you create a safe, intentional path forward.

After the Call

You enter your first experience grounded, supported, and informed, gaining insight instead of anxiety. You’re equipped to grow through it, not just go through it. You’re no longer on the sidelines, you’re aligned with your intention and equipped with knowledge to confidently walk your path.

The Alternative

You risk going in unprepared, leading to unnecessary fear, unsafe settings, or emotional overwhelm. Misinformation could make you hesitate indefinitely, or worse: choose unsafe options.

Help Me Heal.

Hi Alison, what inspired you to contact the Psychedelic Info Line?
Dara Lightle
Psychedelic Navigator
So I took a bunch of mushrooms last weekend and am having trouble figuring out what I saw and what I’m supposed to do.
Alison
Caller
Ok, can you share more about what happened? Things like how much you took, whether there were other people around and what emotions you felt during your journey?
Dara Lightle
Executive Director
Yeah, I was at home by myself, but I had a friend in the other room in case something went wrong. I think I took 5 grams. My emotions were all over the place, from sad to happy and mad.
Alison
Caller
Honestly, this really helped. I didn’t expect to feel so seen. I think I’ve been carrying this alone all week. Now I have a few ways to process it—and I don’t feel so lost in it anymore.

Sound Familiar?

You’ve walked the path and now seek to weave those insights into your everyday life. You’re looking for clarity, resources, or support to deepen integration and healing. Maybe it was powerful or challenging. Either way, you’re left with questions and you’re not sure how to integrate what came up.

You’re not alone. Psychedelic experiences often bring up complex emotions and existential shifts. Integration is ongoing. Let’s help you anchor the insight, not get lost in it.

After the Call

You feel grounded again. You’ve made peace with what surfaced, turned insight into action, and are aligned with a deeper sense of purpose.

The Alternative

Unprocessed trips can lead to confusion, anxiety, or emotional burnout. Move from overwhelmed to integrated, from processing in isolation to living your insight with confidence, clarity, and community.

Hi David, what inspired you to contact the Psychedelic Info Line?
Matthew X. Lowe, PhD
Chief Scientific Officer
Well, a friend of mine really wants to try magic mushrooms to help with his anxiety over his divorce. I just need to know if it’s safe to take them and if you have any overall guidance.
David
Caller
Got it. It sounds like you really care about your friend and have been looking out for him. I’ve got lots of information that could be helpful for you to share with him. Tell me more about what’s motivating him to explore magic mushrooms for anxiety.
Matthew X. Lowe, PhD
Chief Scientific Officer
So his divorce really put him into a tailspin. He’s not going to live with his kids anymore and he has to move out. His whole life feels like it’s imploding and he really doesn’t want to use traditional medication. He has a therapist but heard mushrooms would be like 10 years of therapy in one day. I just don’t know if that’s really true.
David
Caller
This has been really helpful. I wasn’t sure how to even talk about it with him, but now I feel like I can support him without shutting him down. I appreciate how balanced and informed your advice is.
David

Sound Familiar?

You’re here on behalf of someone else. You want to be informed, prepared, and grounded as you offer care, guidance, or companionship to someone on their psychedelic journey. You want to support them, but you’re unsure what’s safe, what’s hype, and how to talk about it without fear.

Learn the science, understand the language of set and setting, and explore how to be present before, during, and after their experience. We’ll help you find the line between protection and empowerment.

After the Call

You become a steady, supportive presence in their journey. You feel less fear, more understanding, and a new respect for their process, even if it’s not your path.

The Alternative

Misinformation can create distance, conflict, or mistrust. Judgment can shut down communication—and lead them to make unsafe choices without your support. You go from confusion to clarity, becoming a trusted anchor for someone exploring the unknown.
