  • Hot Goss with Abbie Rosner: Boomers Are Tripping, Embracing Elderhood, and Accepting Death

    Hot Goss with Abbie Rosner: Boomers Are Tripping, Embracing Elderhood, and Accepting Death
    Jul 15 2024
    In this episode of "Hot Goss," journalist Abbie Rosner discusses the resurgence of psychedelic interest among baby boomers, a generation that first experimented with these substances during the radical 1960s. Now in their elder years, they are revisiting psychedelics not just for nostalgia, but as a profound tool for spiritual exploration and accepting mortality. Abbie talks about how psychedelics can offer meaningful closure and peace as one approaches the end of life, reflecting on how these experiences challenge societal prejudices against aging and death. The discussion highlights the significant potential of psychedelics in elder care, particularly in palliative settings, where they can alleviate existential distress and enhance the quality of life for seniors. Abbie also touches on the ongoing research into psychedelics' therapeutic benefits for conditions like depression and isolation, common among older adults. The conversation further explores the cultural shifts within older demographics and the urgent need for policy reform to support psychedelic therapies in senior care, aiming to combat ageism and integrate these powerful experiences into mainstream acceptance.
