Users are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence as a psychedelic "trip-sitter" to guide them through hallucinogenic experiences, often due to limited access to professional therapy. AI tools such as ChatGPT and specialized chatbots are being utilized when traditional counseling is costly and hard to find. The average cost of psychedelic therapy can reach upwards of $3,200, prompting many to rely on AI for guidance. While some users report positive experiences with AI assistance, concerns about the safety and potential risks of this substitute role are growing.
