The pilot explored what Gwyneth called ‘psychedelics as a healing modality,’ and involved a Goop staff trip to Jamaica to take magic mushrooms.
‘I never thought of MDMA as a psychedelic and when I took it I didn’t hallucinate. Like, it wasn’t a rave,’ the movie star recalled. MDMA is the chemical name for the drug most commonly referred to as Ecstasy or Molly.
‘You know, it was actually very, very emotional and I was with my then boyfriend who’s now my husband, and he’s a very empathetic, very profoundly wise person and he was able to sort of help me through it,’ Gwyneth explained.
