Initial Assessment and Health Overview (Part 2)

- Step 1 of 4

Information

To ensure that you have the best possible experience during your medicine Ceremony, we would like to have some more information about your medical history, medication and any supplements. The information you provide will help us determine the appropriate dosage of the medicine and assess whether it is safe for you to undergo a psychoactive journey. It is crucial that you provide this information honestly and in its entirety. Failing to do so can significantly impact your journey, overall well-being and even your life. Please inform us if you have ever experienced or are currently dealing with a physical or mental health condition, regardless of whether or not you are taking medication for it. In most cases, it is usually safe for you to continue your normal medication, but it's important to discuss this with us beforehand. By providing us with accurate and complete information, you allow us to ensure your safety and maximize the benefits of your experience.
