Recent years have seen a renewed interest in the therapeutic use of psychedelics. However, this has also sparked controversy. As legitimate research and organisations explore the possible benefits of using psychedelics to treat various conditions, there is always someone who will try to capitalize on this new trend. Soulcybin scam was one of these cases that came to light. This cautionary story serves as an important reminder that vigilance is needed in this rapidly developing field.
Soulcybin emerged as a purported psychedelic resort promising to change lives through guided psychedelic trips. A glossy brochure, compelling testimonials and an ostensibly professional website helped them attract a substantial following of interested seekers. A web of lies was spun beneath the surface.
Soulcybin’s qualifications were not disclosed in a transparent manner. Soulcybin has remained in the shadows, while other reputable groups in the same field freely share their backgrounds and qualifications. Soulcybin remained a mystery, while other organizations in the field were transparent about their staff’s backgrounds and expertise.
As people started questioning Soulcybin’s legitimacy, stories of unethical practice began to circulate. Former participants claimed “experienced guides”, who were promised, weren’t experienced and didn’t know how to cope with emotional or psychological issues that may arise in a psychedelic session. Some participants even said the “experienced guides” were unlicensed, and that they lacked training or the experience to support them adequately.
Participants reported inadequate security measures and substandard accommodations in the retreat center. Basic needs like medical supervision, safety protocols and proper screening were apparently neglected. This put participants in danger. These disclosures presented a troubling picture of an organization that placed financial gain above the health and safety of its customers.
Soulcybin’s aftermath is a reminder about the need to be careful when engaging in psychedelic activities. It is important that individuals thoroughly investigate and vet any group or retreat center prior to entrusting their mental and/or physically health with them.
Unfortunately, the psychedelics community rallied around to expose Soulcybin and bring awareness about potential dangers from unscrupulous individuals. Forums, social media and credible psychedelic organisations have been crucial in spreading the word and warning users about Soulcybin.
Regulators and law enforcement have taken note, opening investigations to investigate the allegations made against Soulcybin. This is a response that demonstrates the desire to protect those who are vulnerable and maintain the integrity of the psychoedelic industry.
