The Webdelics Podcast is a space where we destigmatize plant medicine by having open conversations around the stories and science of psychedelics. These substances have touched people from all walks of life, and we seek to convey that in the diversity of you all, our guests: From doctors to students; skeptics to shaman; and athletes to high-performance businesspeople.
It goes to show that while our differences are what give life its richness and texture, our similarities are what make us human...a fact that is ultimately unveiled through plant medicine and the psychospiritual portal it opens within us.

From Jail to Federal Court: Jonathan Goldman’s Journey to Legalizing Ayahuasca in America
Welcome to another episode of Webdelics! In this special AMA edition, Steve Elfrink and Mike Mumola host a powerful conversation exploring the intersection of psychedelics, spirituality, and law. Our focus is the extraordinary journey of Jonathan Goldman — founder of the Church of the Holy Light of the Queen in Ashland, Oregon, and one of the first individuals to successfully win legal protection for the sacramental use of ayahuasca in the United States.
From a childhood shaped by trauma and a quest for healing, Jonathan guides us through his transformative experiences in the Santo Daime tradition and the founding of a unique spiritual community. The episode dives deep into the story of how religious freedom, relentless advocacy, and community unity culminated in a landmark federal court victory. Alongside legal expert Mike Mumola, the conversation unpacks what it takes to create and run an entheogenic church — from personal authenticity and lineage, to the practical and legal realities facing psychedelic religious communities today.
Join us as we traverse this rich tapestry of personal healing, cultural history, and the ongoing fight for expanded access to sacred plant medicines. Whether you’re curious about ayahuasca, interested in psychedelic law, or simply love a story of courage and conviction, this episode delivers wisdom, inspiration, and plenty to ponder.
