The purpose of the study is to shed light on the potential conceptual transformation within the discourse on psychedelia in Sweden, and how that transformation affects the ideas surrounding the substances and its ideological discourse. These changes could hypothetically build a new cultural construction of the view on psychedelia in Sweden. The study is of hermeneutic qualitative nature. I use idea and ideology analysis with elements of conceptual history. Further the study uses the constructions of thoughts: judgments of reality, judgments of value and precepts of action to evaluate and to illustrate the perspectives in the field. The study examines a culturally conditioned problem in the form of depression of which the potential solution in itself is a cultural taboo both spread and created by an ideological hegemonic idea, but this hegemonic idea is now potentially challenged by new medical research findings.
