In this episode, we chatted with Raj, also known as Sikhadelic Healing, shares his experience with his path to spirituality. He brings a perspective that is unique, yet seems to make a lot of sense when you think about why Sikhism began.

What are your thoughts on the subject?

More details:

We sat down with Raj, known as Sikhadelics on social media, to talk about his views on Sikhism, Sikhi, and how psychedelics have played a role in his spiritual path. Raj shares his perspective on spirituality vs religion, and why he sees Sikhi as a way of life rather than a set of rules. We get into psychedelic therapy, psilocybin, magic mushrooms, microdosing, cannabis, and plant medicine — and how these sacred medicine practices connect to his journey with meditation, naam simran, and simran.

We talk about trauma healing, trauma release, and intergenerational trauma that affects so many in the Punjabi community. Raj breaks down how epigenetics and ancestral healing tie into mental health, especially South Asian mental health, which often goes unspoken. He shares how he took Amrit, became Amritdhari, and started waking up at Amrit Vela to connect with Gurbani. We discuss the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Gobind Singh, and the Guru Granth Sahib, including the Mool Mantra and stories of Baba Deep Singh.

The conversation touches on oneness, Ik Onkar, energy, the universe, and consciousness. Raj explains ego death and what it means to connect with Waheguru. We also talk about the Khalsa, the kirpan, and what it actually means to be initiated- it's not a baptism!!

We discuss wellness, holistic health, and how different modalities work for different people. He mentions experiences with Mother Aya and references to soma in ancient texts. We get into indigenous medicine, indigenous wisdom, and how Punjabi culture can learn from these traditions.

This Punjabi podcast covers the full healing journey- spiritual awakening, mindfulness, and how the endocannabinoid system actually works. We talk shadow work, emotional release, breathwork, somatic therapy, talk therapy, and yoga as alternatives for those who aren't ready for plant medicine.

We compare Western medicine and Eastern medicine, including Ayurveda and astrology, and why clinical trials and regulated healthcare matter for the future of legalization. This conversation is about soul growth, and we touch on neurodiversity and why meditation is harder for some than others.

We also address bad trips and why set and setting matter. We discuss harm reduction, safe ceremony practices, and the role of a facilitator or shaman. Raj shares thoughts on near-death experience and how it compares to ego death. We also cover anxiety relief, depression support, and the stigma around psychedelics. For those dealing with cancer anxiety or end-of-life distress, Raj explains why access to these medicines should be an option.

We flew to Ontario to meet Steve Allgood, the 2nd patient in Canadian history to receive psychedelic assisted therapy through the health care system.

We can't even begin to imagine being diagnosed with cancer just days before your wedding, and not just any cancer, one that almost nobody survives.

Steve has come a long way since then, defying all odds and still alive today to share his story, with his beautiful wife and two kids.

If you are moved by his story - WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR MP: https://therapsil.ca/get-involved/

More details:

7 and a half years ago, Steve was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer just two days before his wedding. The diagnosis was DIPG, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a rare and aggressive pontine glioma located on the brainstem tumour near the pons tumor area. Doctors in oncology and neuro-oncology gave him a terminal diagnosis with zero percent chance of survival. He was told to go home and prepare for the worst.

Instead of accepting that, Steve started his own cancer journey. After radiation therapy, he was offered chemotherapy, but began exploring alternative treatment options. He connected with long-term cancer survival stories online and discovered complementary medicine approaches like high-dose cannabis, cannabis oil, and Rick Simpson Oil (RSO). Medical marijuana became a major part of his protocol, along with vitamin C IV therapy, nutrition and cancer research, sugar-free diet changes, and overall lifestyle change focused on reducing inflammation and immune system rebuilding. These integrative medicine and functional medicine approaches challenged everything he thought he knew about the Canadian healthcare system.

Steve also became the 2nd patient in Canadian history to legally access psilocybin therapy through Health Canada's Section 56 exemption and Special Access Program. His experience with psilocybin-assisted therapy helped him process deep trauma healing, PTSD, grief, anxiety, and depression. Through guided trip sessions with proper set and setting and a trip sitter, followed by integration therapy and psychotherapy, Steve experienced a spiritual awakening, going from atheism to spirituality. The therapy helped with acceptance of the unknown, meaning-making, life review, and neuroplasticity changes that reshaped how he sees the world.

We also talked about his experience with MDMA therapy, his thoughts on microdosing, and why he's become a voice for psychedelic advocacy in Canada. Steve now advocates for patient rights, patient advocacy, informed consent, and healthcare reform. He's critical of how cancer charities operate and passionate about harm reduction and mental health advocacy.

Beyond the medical side, Steve opened up about the family impact of his diagnosis, the wedding diagnosis story, fatherhood challenges, and how his wife and mother-in-law pushed him to fight. His story also touches on broader issues like Vancouver mental health, corrections system trauma, and community healing.

Steve's been featured on Cannabis Health Radio and is part of an upcoming documentary interview. He continues to get MRI scans and remains in palliative care monitoring, but his tumour has been stable for years. He's living proof of what long-term cancer survival can look like when you explore every option.

His message is simple: question everything, advocate for yourself, and don't be afraid to look beyond conventional cancer support. Whether it's blood-brain barrier research, advocacy for legalization, or just learning about brainstem tumour treatments like glioma and pons tumour cases, there's more out there than most people realize.

Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer just before his wedding, this individual shares his compelling brain tumour story. Given no chance of survival, he advocates for medical cannabis and psilocybin therapy as alternative cancer treatment options. His experience sheds light on the difficult choices cancer patients face beyond traditional chemotherapy.

Well, is this whole Jasleen / Akaash Singh situation just for clout? Is it because Jasleen is not a good person/wife? We give our thoughts on the whole situation.

We're breaking down the Akaash Singh and Jasleen Singh drama that's been all over the internet. This whole situation with Andrew Schulz's co-host has people talking about relationship drama, toxic relationship dynamics, and whether this is all just a publicity stunt or something deeper.

Jasleen's viral TikTok about her college roster, white boy frat houses, and nostalgia for her college days sparked massive controversy in the Punjabi community and South Asian relationships discourse. The "popping" comments, virginity claims, and body count questions have the internet divided. We get into the awkward kiss situation, PDA avoidance, and why people think there's real issues behind the comedy.

Jasleen did open up about her abusive dad, parental abuse, childhood trauma, and time in a battered women's shelter. We discuss how daddy issues, generational trauma, and trauma response might explain the toxic parenting cycle and current relationship red flags.

We cover the prenup red flag controversy, stay at home wife lifestyle, gold digger accusations, and financial abuse concerns.

Fresh and Fit's Myron Gaines (Amrou Fudl) previously appeared on Flagrant, sparking red pill and alpha male narrative discussions. We compare that episode to this Flagrant episode backlash and the internet outrage culture around relationship accountability.

Indian podcast controversy and brown girl drama hit different when it involves South Asian dating, Indian dating culture, and cultural shame and honor. The brown community discourse around this touches on Indian hate, misogyny and backlash, and gender double standards that affect Indian comedian content and South Asian podcast spaces.

Public relationship scrutiny through oversharing on social media and feeding the algorithm raises questions about authenticity vs performance.

We reference similar situations like Will Smith Jada, Ayesha Curry, and Steph Curry dealing with celebrity marriage problems and public embarrassment. Reality of fame means celebrity publicity stunts and PR stunt rumors follow any marriage controversy or viral relationship drama.

The narcissist prayer, narcissistic personality traits, and gaslighting in relationships show up in relationship double standards and toxic relationship dynamics. Emotional maturity, boundaries in relationships, and relationship advice matter more than internet memes and online clout chasing.

Modern marriage debates cover trad wife vs modern wife expectations, modern dating discourse, modern women standards, and marriage problems beyond just prenuptial agreements. The psychological analysis of trauma and relationships shows how childhood trauma and women's shelter experiences create relationship red flags.

Crowd work comedy and Akaash Singh stand up built his career, but comedian insecurities and marriage accountability now dominate the conversation. Indian comedian spaces, comedy podcast culture, and Punjabi culture debate intersect with viral podcast drama.

Internet pile-on culture, parasocial relationships, and commentary podcast reactions flood YouTube trending podcasts and Spotify trending podcasts. The viral reels controversy, podcast clip reaction videos, and TikTok drama show how internet drama and podcast drama spread.

Celebrity marriage breakdown, marriage advice, and empowerment vs disrespect questions matter for content creator toxicity and influencer accountability. Social media influence on marriage, social media persona maintenance, and internet commentary create public humiliation online.

Healing trauma, therapy and relationships, and South Asian mental health resources help with walking on eggshells, OCD and control issues, and female vs male toxicity comparisons. Marriage controversy shouldn't overshadow real healing from abuse and breaking generational cycles.
