Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging, with Abbie Rosner

Listen in now as our guest, Abbie Rosner, discusses Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging. When author Abbie Rosner turned 60, she decided to celebrate with a magic mushroom journey. Almost forty years had passed since her last psychedelic experience. But as Abbie shows in her book, journeying with the maturity of older age is an entirely different story.
In compelling personal stories, more than 30 older psychonauts share how their psychedelic experiences helped them heal old wounds, align with their authentic selves, and experience profound love and forgiveness. They reveal how psychedelics can help older people deepen their spirituality, experience unprecedented intimacy and joy, and make peace with their mortality. Many describe how psychedelic journeying has made their older years the happiest, most meaningful time of their lives.
Abbie covers the different psychedelic medicines and their risks and benefits for older adults. She describes pivotal advances in clinical research on psychedelic medicines and scientifically validated best practices to prevent “bad trips.” She also considers the legal and underground avenues that older adults are exploring to access these experiences.
Beyond sharing individual stories of expansion and transformation, Abbie is the first to suggest that these pioneering psychedelic elders are helping us reimagine what older age looks and feels like in our ageist, death-phobic society. Her work illuminates the evolution—and revolution—in the role of elders in our society.
Abbie Rosner has been writing extensively on older adults’ explorations of cannabis and psychedelics for Forbes, Double Blind, and other journals since 2018. She is one of the few writers to specifically cover psychedelic use among older adults. She lives in Washington, DC. Learn more at https://abbierosner.com.
