Another way to avoid risk is to refrain from coordinating work with underground guides. Referring a client to an underground therapist is a clear and obvious form of knowingly facilitating access to prohibited substances. While from a clinical standpoint, it might be helpful for an underground guide to consult with a client's therapist before a psychedelic experience, this creates greater legal risk. In contrast, receiving referrals from an underground guide entails less legal risk as members of the public are free to refer to whatever practitioner they wish. However, consulting with underground guides on an ongoing basis through forming informal or formal arrangements to prepare clients for guiding or receive clients post-guiding entails greater risk as, again, this could be perceived as conspiracy in that the therapist has made themself part of someone else's drug deal by channeling or referring people to a drug source. These activities also entail risk of licensing board sanction. In general, any action that increases the chance a client claims their use of a prohibited drug was because of the involvement of a licensed practitioner might result in a licensing board determining that the clinician was an integral part of the illegal experience under the guise of providing professional services (thereby violating duty of care and acting in an unprofessional or unethical manner). Thus, preparation work may entail greater risk than integration work because it increases the chance a client could claim they only followed through with the drug experience because of interaction with the therapist.
