The psychedelic medicine renaissance is alive in Utah — and while legalization and reduced stigma means greater access to these therapeutic tools, it can still feel like the Wild West. Here's what providers say patients need to know.
Legalization and diminishing stigma means psychedelics are now more mainstream — and Utahns have choices.
But ultimately, she said, all sides of the scene — “the researchers, the gurus, the shamans” — can learn from each other about the best way to help patients.The organization’s first formal conference to discuss these issues was held this spring. As the landscape evolves, here’s what speakers wanted those interested in psychedelics to know.
In traditional medical settings, informed consent could look like paperwork outlining how much a procedure is going to cost, said Autumn Kunz, founder and part-owner of Rabbit Hole Wellness. She said providers should expand on this, letting patients know that in addition to all the possible benefits, psychedelic medicine might not work for them and could “stir up problems you’ve buried away.”
“If people feel safe, and then they got into a psychedelic , that’s one of the factors that will help them experience what they need to experience,” Bullock said. It’s also worth talking to others who have gone through their own experiences with the clinical and spiritual side of psychedelics who can make recommendations about what worked for them and which providers they liked, Hanson said.
Drugs also aren’t the only option to heal, Kunz said. Breathwork, yoga or Reiki energy practices can also be beneficial.
