Psychedelics: effects on the human brain and physiology | Simeon Keremedchiev | TEDxVarna
The talk looks at modern research on how psychedelics affect the human brain and consciousness. It focuses on the psilocybin mushroom and examines key scientific findings on its effects on humans. The talk goes into a degree of detail about the short- and long-term effects of psychedelic substances, and seeks to outline the potential these substances have in medicine and self-development.
Simeon Keremedchiev comes from a legal background, but his interest in different scientific disciplines and human consciousness led him to attaining a degree in Psychology. He is currently
involved in the development and launch of a comprehensive online informational platform, directed at self-development, human consciousness and conscious living. Simeon's work gravitates around the genetic potential which lies within the human genome and our innate ability to unlock it.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I was diagnosed with cptsd since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here
Can you help me with the reliable source. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Spain. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.raymycology. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.l now have a more calm mind
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Psychedelics have the potential to make a significant impact on mental health issues like anxiety and depression. They've been incredibly helpful for me personally.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source.
dr.tonyshrooms is your guy. The best shrooms and psychedelics guy I know.
He's on instgram??
Yes
I had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great.
Mushroom was good to me
I know, right! It's mind-blowing how psychedelic trips can be so individual and unique, even when people take the same amount at the same time.
Can he be On instgram?
Absolutely! It's incredible to see how psilocybin mushrooms and psychedelics have the potential to make a positive impact on mental health. They've shown promising results in treating depression and anxiety. It's exciting to think about the possibilities they hold for helping people.
Can he send to me in Ohio?
If anonymous delivery is something you're concerned about, he offers that option. He can provide an extra level of privacy and peace of mind. Safety and discretion.
Mushrooms to me are like counseling sessions where the counselor knows every single detail of your life.
@@chevchelios3904 The mushroom
FR man, it's like a counseling session with your hyper-aware self, truly an enlightening experience.
And a lot CHEAPER!! 😂😎
Right on the money in my (limited) experience. It was like an aggressive session I wasn’t allowed to walk out on.
zachary gutierrez haha. Never read something more true lol
Psilocybin mushroom has also shown effectiveness at easing fear and anxiety in people with terminal cancer.
came out of the experience feeling rejuvenated with a new found appreciation for life and nature.
Been looking to try shrooms how do you get yours ?
Heard so much about magic mushrooms I'lld like to give it a try please where do I get?

psilocybin single handedly saved my life. it's like an antidepressant and a therapist all in one. I decided to keep living.
That’s great to hear. I didn’t expect to, but I coped with my best friends death through the use of an eighth of mushrooms. These drugs can change lives.
@@extremeencounter7458 they really really can man.
Exactly i have never had money to pay for therapist so shrooms was the only way to help myself
Can you get paranoid with it?
Congrats! And same! I thought I was dying (what I've been wanting for a long time) and I realized, I wanted more time. I realized I wanted to live! what a magical plant! 🪄
every time he says "in my opinion" i hear "from my experience" :D
Waqas Ali what u doing buddy
hopefully he has experienced them. i would hate for phychologicists (and others) to be talking about this and not have had any trips/sessions. :-)
Haha same
Hahaha sooo true !
Yes! Ha ha! He is way to intricate, empassioned and entirely convinced that these "reports" cannot put into words the experience. How would he know that if he hasn't been taking them. Lmao
good or bad trip, your gonna learn so much about yourself if you do this
@Erik Costanzo Lager sometimes it's you that causes the depression. it cured my dysthymia on my 2nd trip. had a bad trip 2 days ago, while tripping with my brother and cousin. my brother was the one who made me feel better and we just constantly talking while enjoying the nature down our block. i appreciate my brother more now.
totally agree!
On my bad trip I learned how fragile out mind is. I got "incepted" with irrational fears and thoughts that it took years to get rid of. Psychadelics are not to be taken lightly!
True I had my first experience 2 days totally life changing
@@Hrema Hear you there. I feel like I am finally coming out the other side.
Tried shrooms for the first time a week ago and had an amazing experience. I was battling bad depression due to being in the military and after taking the shrooms they opened my mind and released emotions I’ve had hidden for years. I feel much better mentally now.
im going to enter in the military now and i am in the same situation. Any advice? I would like to be a militar but im scared of leaving this peaceful civil life

Another tip for a trip. Give your trip a distinct intent. Try and give a strong association between the substance and your intention for taking the trip. "To explore myself". "To become more connected to those around me". Keep it short, probably one sentence. And focus strongly on that intention. I even look at the substance before taking it, bestowing this sort of strong association. Then consume the substance, and take a couple seconds to focus on your intention for the trip again. Then go about whatever you were going to do. Don't fret over it, it will work as a beautiful guide for your trip. It's choosing which direction you're going to roll the snowball down the hill. So choose wisely and genuinely. I feel this is never mentioned in psychedelic advice, and myself only sort of randomly thought up this helpful step before my last 3-4 trips. But those last ones were a spiritual and existential goldmines. Deep inner and outer deliberations on what exactly makes up the build of my "living existence". This does sort of fit into the set of your mind in set/setting. But I feel it is almost it's own important and distinct step because it is so powerful and influential on your journey
I know this is old but that is a good trip tip. I find that by preparing yourself even months in advance and writing down questions you want to explore during your trip is a great way to get a lot of value out of the experience. Of course when you are tripping you might completely disregard all your preparations but having notes reminding you what your sober self would like to know can put you on a mission. This also can work with marijuana to a similar degree.
Perfectly stated! I also recommend talking or in some way communicating with the substance, almost in an animistic way. Maybe in a letter or some dedicated journal entries...maybe with some automatic writing.
I agree.
Well said!
I’m going to try this! I’ve been looking for a method to make it more “focused” and “intentional,” thanks!
All world leaders should be "Required" to take it before taking office... let it be their "Oath of office"... what a wonderful world.
RHINO41153 heroic doses only
I always argue that they should put it into the drinking water. Why stop at fluoride? If the government is going to medicate its population with fluoride, they should at least give people a healthy drug like psilocybin shrooms. Of course I don't believe that they should put any drug into the water supply. But I do believe that everyone should ingest mushrooms at least a few times in their life. And it's a crime that it is illegal. It is the cure to most mental issues. Truly Manna from Heaven
That's the best idea I've heard in years! Maybe make them do it in a sensory deprivation area...
They should be required to take much poison of any kind, as long as it is a lethal dose.
Regardless if they take it- it doesn't always work the same for everyone.. some people have profound experiences while others just have fun.
Best thing is: You don't need to be sick to have benefitial effects of psychedelics usage :)
benefishal*
mvvagner?
mvvagner lol beneficial
How can you do them without feeling sick?
Make sure you don't eat any food at least 6-8 hours before a trip. I usually fast the whole day before a big time trip. Also, if you are going for a big dose, I'd advise you to remove meat from your diet AT LEAST a week before a trip. It may make a massive difference to some people, not all though. Shrooms have levels and your preparation is kind of different for all of them. You can have a 1g-1.5g without that much prep, but I've found that anything 3.5+ (depending on experience) is always worth of prep. Aaaaand, yes, marijuana. Weed can help you reduce any sickness you might feel. I always feel sick even at lower doses, so I have had to learn to manage it.

ShpookyBear369 Check dutch sites and you can order it from there or just ask your friends and they will give you contact on someone who posses them, also they grow all around the world, so you can learn how to "hunt" them .... But if you really want to try them make sure you are mentally healthy, have good set and setting and if you never had experience with psychs make sure you have sober tripsitter and do your own research, I would recommend PsychedSubstance channel, he has many great videos on it ;)
How many grams?
ShpookyBear369 research dark net markets, they’re legit even though it doesn’t seem like it, you just have to learn how to use them
@Casey Sims happy hear this for you. Still doing it? If so, how has it all went?

One of the best talks on Tedx and Ted Talk. It is really for a metaphysical mind. "Decrease in blood flow in the default mode ....." Read my stroke of insight by Dr. Jill Bolte.
Jacob Watson not everything is black or white. That's like telling someone who is professionally diagnosed with clinical depression to just stop feeling that way. A lot of times it's a lack of serotonin so it's not possible to achieve the feeling of joy. All the trash drugs prescribed by doctors and pushed by big pharma, all have the side effect of increased suicidal thoughts. That's it is ridiculous. Ever been injured and prescribed a pain killer? That's literally opium or heroine. Psilocybin can be microdosed, which doesn't get you high or trip, it attaches to your serotonin and allows you to feel more joy, to achieve a happiness without being in a haze and potentially killing yourself. I'm sure you'll argue with drugs are bad, if you can't feel happy like other people you're just not trying." Don't speak of what you don't know kid. You can wake up in the morning and hum and skip around your house, some of us wake up and think that eating a bullet would be serenity. Consider yourself lucky
I cannot lie. Mushrooms took me from a bad place mentally, physically, and spiritually, and then put me into an amazing one. Without that experience I wouldn’t be where I am today in life.
@Tim Fisher - how long did it last?

Adán Nada maybe Adam and Eve ate some kind of psychedelic substance.. the Bible doesn’t say it was an apple... it was a fruit. Maybe the fruit had DMT or something special inside of it, in order to change the human genotype. Studies show that psychedelics actually can change the DNA structure of our genetics ...

The best description I ever heard of acid was that it made the world feel like you were a kid again, I had no idea that science would find it to be true
True. It takes your emotional control back several years too. Also slows down your visual cortex permanently. Your vision won't be as sharp afterward. Avoid higher doses.
@@stargazer2042 Haha it’s funny you mention that. I “know someone” who came across the opportunity to take a mystery dose that my neighbor had. That mystery dose turned out to be heroic. Thankfully he and his girlfriend were both experienced enough to know how to handle it and from what he told me, it was an absolutely life changing experience for both of them. Vision’s doing fine but he had 20/20+ beforehand. Emotional control on the other hand is an interesting topic. I don’t recall him having any real outbursts as of late, and seems to be doing great overall. Will update later if I notice any changes though.
@@stargazer2042 funny cause after a summer of tripping on good acid my visions actually clearer and crispier now
Contact the above name ⬆️⬆️ for chocolate bars, shrooms LSD DMT
having used both LSD and shrooms in my 20s (many, many years ago…) i can verify that was def my experience - acid made us feel like kids again… discovering everything for the first time. Mushrooms, however, made you feel ancient, wise and connected to everything. Both actually do give you a feeling of connectedness but in different ways. Acid makes you feel like there’s no such thing as a coincidence. Whereas mushrooms you can actually see the lines of connectedness. I hope that made sense lol
psychedelics truly are beneficial. even if you have a bad trip your still gonna come away with a life changing message.
I've never had a bad trip. I don't believe in them.
I've heard a bad trip is you connecting to the subconscious you do not want to hear or connect to at all and that's why its bad. I believe that.

Psychedelics used responsibly can unlock the psyche. They have helped me to get to the core of my neurotic depressive thinking. I will go on to become a strong leader for others with grace and compassion now.
Daryl Smith im trying to accomplish the same
What is your psychedelic regime if I may ask please?
lol howd that work out for you
Boho Babie apologies for the year late reply, I never got a notification of your comment. I smoke DMT maybe twice a year, 3 times max. It shows me the work I need to do on myself, and what I need to accomplish to be of service to others within my profession as an education professional. I will microdose shrooms when I can get a hold of them, literally 0.2g up to 0.5g when I feel like it. I was microdosing 10mg of acid for a while to get some writing done, and although it was a stimulating cognitive enhancer, it did feel aggressive and twitchy. I’d stay away from acid and stick to the natural psychedelics. You can’t go wrong with DMT and Shrooms if used wisely and scheduled in to your life with ritual intent.
I had a very very bad Acid trip a few years ago which lead to PTSD a few months later. I believe it was because I straight away took MDMA after my Acid trip and didn't give my brain time to deal with what had just happened to me. It all began when I watched Waking Life one night and it triggered me to re-live the feelings I had in the trip. I began to shake and cry and convulse with fear on the floor of my bedroom floor. I had no idea what was happening to me - all I perceived was an intense flood of fear of just 'being' itself. I was so scared to keep living and even more scared of death. I had around 7 panic attacks daily for about 6 months. Life lost all meaning for me and the only thing that helped was meditative breathing techniques. No amount of consoling from my partner, family or friends made any difference and the world around me seemed like an alien universe. I questioned everything and lost any desire to do the things I loved. I saw a psychologist but she was no help and all day I researched what could possibly be happening to me. I was so scared I had ruined my life and desperately looked for an answer. Nobody understood the hell I was living every day and I felt so alone. Slowly I forced myself to start painting again. It really helped me and gave my overactive mind something to focus on that was calming. That and reading about the brain and reading books on Buddhism, understanding the brain and the mind. Over time I began to develop techniques for keeping the fear at bay. Now when I feel that specific existential fear come up (which is extremely rare) instead of letting it take over, I look at it almost like a box, I recognise it is there and I choose not to open it. It then goes away. I am now a totally different person than I was before the panic attacks. A much better person. Going through this experience helped me in so many ways and I am grateful for it. I have far less fear in my every day life and the social anxiety which I had my whole life is near non existent. I am far more confident and much stronger. I deal with things in life much better and I look forward to starting my day as opposed to sleeping in until 12:00 like I used to. I started my own business and care less about how I appear to others. I also have a lot more compassion for others and understand what it is like to extremely suffer. I believe that psychedelics are very very powerful tools and must be respected. I would not take back what happened and I hope that one day the legal use of plant medicines will help people. I also believe that we often grow through great adversity and our brains need a big kick up the arse sometimes to truely change. I write this in hopes that if anyone else is experiencing what I went through they may read it and know not to give up hope of being normal and happy again. I see this experience now as a gift.
B.Clare I went through a very similar thing. And the thing you wrote that stood out was the loss of social anxiety. Same here! I just don't feel awkward or like I'm self-monitoring all the time any more; I'm much less shy. It's great, right? 😊
B.Clare And btw, I'm a year into recovery and possibly better than before the panic attacks! I know the exact kind of existential fear that you mean, and I pray that others never have to feel it.
So great to hear!
B.Clare thank you for writing this. It resonates with a very similar experience that I had but it was induced by a bushman shaman sans psychedelics, just by energy, but in response to my question to him about a psychoactive plant that they use that I am doing research on. I was given an ego death experience that threw me into PTSD for years before it was diagnosed and I atladt had a grip on what was going on. Closest thing to a spell I've ever come across. Now I am on the other side of the dark woods I realise what a gift he gave me when I asked him, how do you use this plant...he threw me over the cliff into the abyss and said find your way out. I actually through an incredible series of coincidences ended up takung the plant I had gone to speak to him about to begin my journey back to myself. The trauma must be defused from the reptile survival hypocampus to stop it hijacking the higher minds thoughts. That was the begining of my recovery from PTSD.EMI..eye movement integration..its not a woowoo therapy, your eye movements belie the trauma buried in your ancient brain when triggers are mentioned. You need a trained person to do this . Hope this helps some one stuck in trauma mind with the incessant, exhausting thought noise. You must start crawling your way back to sanity, and don't ever lose heart. Healer heal thyself.
Psilocybin isn't acid .... stick to mushrooms.
The loss of 'self' is one the most profound effects in my experience. That and the honesty and depth of the self-reflection. It's like you've become someone else but with access to all the memories and together that enables you to see who/what you really are and see/judge yourself from a third person perspective. That can be quite a sobering experience - all your faults laid bare - nothing is hidden. What you learn during this time is not easily forgotten after the experience, which is definitely a good thing - it can motivate you to change and become a better person. He's right about the intensity - it's an amazing experience but not one that you'd want to last too long or repeat too frequently. If you do, you'll soon find yourself longing for 'reality' again - and your old self. A bit like a trip to the theme park - some rides you may absolutely love, but that doesn't mean you'd want to stay on the ride all day long, every day of the week ....urghhh!

I smoked DMT last Friday. I have not smoked nicotine since and I was a pack a day smoker. I tried NRT, Hypnosis and Champix (Varenicline) but DMT has made it work. I do get feelings that I am missing nicotine, but the higher centres of my brain are in full control now. I am not recommending anybody take DMT to cure nicotine addiction but I am recommending researching DMT for nicotine addiction.
Carrie Young I smoke 2 packs a day, And I dont even try to quit. But I see hope in DMT, one day I'll take it.
Ariel Avalos before you take it have a purpose for example to heal addiction. It worked for me and it was an amazing experience. Its better than smoking yourself into an early grave. Good luck!
there are lots of studies (john hopkins university and others) showing that dmt and psilocybin can cure additions like smoking and drinking. its amazing! and its a crime they are illegal.
@Carrie Young Did you go into the experience with the intention of healing nicotine addiction ? I smoke alot before and after alot of DMT experience.. but feel if there was the intention it would work? I did successfully come off meth using DMT but went in fully on that intention.

I've always explained tripping on shrooms as "feeling like you're five again" and also that it's a "reset button." It's amazing that what I intuited, the science backs up!
In my experiences I quite literally recall "thinking bigger" it was like my brain opened up and allowed a larger birds eye view of everything. I even visualized it with connections in my brain like wires, and how the words we speak are wireless transmissions of information and how that is really quite profound that we can understand (or at least interpret the experiences of others)

I'll tell you one thing I noticed, there's no hiding anything on mushrooms, you will have to surrender give in , anything suppressed will surface and you're face to face what truly eats at you I'm speaking on my personal experience dealing with greif loosing my only teenage daughter, it helps and I've just started the healing process....
If you want to do this, make sure you know how to relax, handle pain and accept yourself.
this is crucial !!
You'll temporarily loose those abilities during a trip. Even people who have done several trips will have scary trips eventually.
handle pain ???
People afraid of bad trips clearly never got severely depressed. You will do anything to get out of that dark cloud. A bad trip may even sound good to experience another kind of storm. I've been locked at home for days unable to do anything due to an extreme case of anxiety-depression that even gets me to faint. I would eat a bucket of shrooms right now if i had them.
Yoo! U good now?
I was given Prozac at 14 years old. I’m 28 now and something hasn’t been right since my mid teens. It shows as extreme generalized anxiety but I know that that isn’t my fate forever. I’m planning on using psilocybin mushrooms in the next 4-6 months and I am genuinely excited to feel like me again

Is there anything you do to keep yourself calm during them? This is my fear, that I'll go crazy with panic - and not knowing what to do about that if it happens is the only thing stopping me from trying it. I suffer from anxiety already.

'I seen flowers at night that were literally glowing'. Sounds like a line from "A Hard Rains Gonna' Fall" by Dylan.
I know a store on Instagram, they got mushrooms, In capsules and powder
MYCO_Ups is they name
I microdose psilosybe cubensis daily .25 to .5 4 times a year I go on an enlightenment quest 3.5+ and it has truly saved my life. Negativity no longer matters.

I took mushrooms tonight ☺️ ive had the best time with myself.... so peaceful and relaxed with who I truely are... this trip has shown me my complete journey with self.
Where did you get it from?
Psychedelics changed my life forever, they opened my mind and helped me find peace In myself and others ..
"Recreational" - Sure a psychedelic trip can be anything but rest but the word "re-creational" actually fits it very well in my opinion. When taking a psychedelic trip one is to make a profound experience. Therefore the patterns of thinking and perceiving are about to change, they re-create.
ccommon THIS is a very underrated comment, hats off
If you go by the definition of rec-reational. It is using it for fun like when people drink at parties. I personally don't use it that way because it will teach me a lesson. I meditate and listen to music. Its rare for me to have a difficult time when i do that. I do reflect on things i want to get over or improve. Like my PTSD and the symptoms.
Wow ! What an absolute gem 💎 of a talk this was ❤ I started micro dosing magic 🪄 mushrooms 🍄 a few weeks ago and i truly never felt better in my life ! Thanks 🙏 to simeon for speaking the truth and help others human being feel better about themselves and others…. Priceless
Happy for you. I’ve had treatment resistant depression for 3 decades. I ordered shrooms over the internet and they come in tomorrow. Hoping for the same, for myself.
that is really good! happy for you, i'm starting microdosing in a week, any tips?
I just had my first Ayahuasca experience last weekend which consisted of 3 ceremonies. This was the most outstanding and most significant thing I've ever done in my life! I gained deep insights into my subconsciousness, found the root of my anxiety and felt extreme love, extreme sadness and extreme emotional pain. Ayahuasca is a teacher, a medicine and a tool with a great healing potential. Not a drug. I'll take it again!
It’s been 15 + years for me, I need to jump back in and get my head right again.
let me know if you need anything

Bad trips are the best in my opinion. They break you down, kill your ego. And you build yourself back a better person, sometimes at the end of the experience. Sometimes after the trip. I personally love bad trips better than good trips. Everyone should do mushrooms at least twice a year.
I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for mushrooms, lsd, and cannabis.
This dude has more to say than he is saying there. Understandable, that he holds back, but sad, that we still have to hold back in front of so many people with this most important thing....
while none of this information was new to me personally, It is vitally important that we lift the stigma associated with these symptoms, and I am really happy to see more of this sort of thing out there!

Love everything he’s saying. Wish he’d take a breath.
Great talk, Simeon. Thank you!
Awesome talk, man. Really glad I found this. It's funny how many prosper and ancient civilizations used it and were much more spiritually evolved than us used psychedelics and now, we're farther then ever from these concepts, and the stigma continues... I can only imagine how must be an experience like that of psychedelics, and one day would like to try it when the time is right. I think it can be an incredible tool for our consciousness to use and evolve Thanks for the talk man, peace
All part of the conspiracy, specifically the great calculated dumbing down of the masses... :(
More spiritually evolved?? They practiced temple prostitution and child sacrifice. How much do you actually know about these ancient religions?
I have struggled with trauma and addictions all my life. Since i found psilocybin I’ve had good and bad trips. It is a very powerful and indeed dangerous drug. You will get out of your comfort zone. You will confront all lies that you have build to protect yourself. And if you are strong and righteous enough. You will gain lessons not found in any therapeutic environment. For myself i can say that psilocybin greatly enhanced my life. And it was extremely hard to overcome old coping mechanisms. I feel one with nature again as I’ve felt when i was still a child. I want to do good and stay true. I have quit smoking and drinking. I feel more aware and able to control my emotions. When i have nothing to do and sit in say a chair, i feel complete and restful. I feel no compulsive need to do anything. We are all connected, why wait for heaven when together we can create it here right now on earth. Psilocybin is not the answer, we are! Peace and love!

I have been through a lot of bad situations in life that have taken their toll, childhood, military family issues. Can honestly day that I feel like psychedelics have helped me a lot. I feel like I have been able to deal with a lot of issues that I couldn't get my head around or move on from and I feel like my outlook has changed on things and my life.

THANK YOU SIMEON KEREMEDCHIEV!!! VERY WELL SAID IN WRAPPING UP YOUR TALK
I used to love taking lsd and mushrooms but i feel like i got all i needed out of my expirience. A lot of trips i had were basically telling me to stop wasting my time getting high basically and focus more or the real world.
I want to offer an alternative perspective to those praising mushrooms: I took 1 trip on them, and the ill effects lasted about 3 years before my mind was "normal" again. It was like PTSD in that I would randomly break down crying after, have trouble sleeping, mood swings, repetitive negative thoughts, and so on. Did it alter my thinking? Absolutely. But it altered my mind in a way I MISSED my old mind. So to those thinking "OOOO This sounds so fun" I urge you to SERIOUSLY ask yourself if you want to risk a bad trip that will haunt you for years. Playing with your brain chemistry and sense of self shouldn't be taken lightly. Not everyone has a positive result.
Interesting you are in a very very small percentile which regard their psychedelic trip as a negative experience. I would want to know the Set,Setting and Dose of such an experience. I don't go around praising psychedelic mushrooms but the Functional ones which give you a high quality of health and long life. Chaga,Turkey Tail, Reishi and Lion's Mane have absolutely zero side effects, do not alter your state, have thousands of peer reviewed scientific papers behind them and thousands of years of safe use in the human population.
Sounds to me that you might have issues with dissociation. Psychedelics will amplify what is already there. So perhaps all of that negativity is something you’re avoiding consciously but your subconscious is screaming for it to be heard felt and experienced.
ditto - mushrooms can be very destabilising especially for those with trauma issues etc - open pandoras box at your own risk - as it's the new gold rush it doesn't suit anyone to talk about these very very common responses to bad trips
on a shroom trip come down while I listen to this, pretty eye opening.

I really enjoyed this video. It contains all of the information of a bunch of other separate videos. Wish I found this one first. Thank you! This Friday will be my first experience, in a controlled and safe environment with a Shaman.
I agree with all you said. I've been through psychedelic experiences since the last 30 years, along with a regular Yoga and workout practice. There is so much to learn about life and meaning of life. Thanks God to have this opportunity in that life.
Thank you so much for this highly researched information about the healthy, helpful, insightful, and life changing aspects of Psychedelics to help us humans connect with our divine energy and consciousness. May the world keep waking up!
Outstanding presentation. Thank you sir! 🙏🏻
I wish there was a way to more than like this. It's such important information so often denied to the public
microdosing shrooms helped my life instantly. i had a ed and was on the verge of living thru my eyes but not really seeing whats infront of me. i 100% stand by micro dosing, it made me live clearly again 💗 spiritually+ mentally for the better. but, with microdosing be ready to learn stuff about yourself bad and good, but know its all a lesson for the greater being of urself 🌬
what is your dosage ? thx
as someone who has taken LSD & mushrooms he is spot on about the trip, a truly unique experience that can potentially be quite frightening but you learn A LOT about yourself and about other people...
Had a crazy trip and he's spot on about everything I felt at around 16:50
Powerful Simeon Keremedchiev!
There’s a lot of potential in psychedelics, I can’t wait to try any of them mushrooms specifically but it’s just so hard to find a reliable source over here, I’ll be glad if anyone can be of help
Psychedelic drugs should be used when you’re in the right state of mind, a lot of people abuse them.
I've always wanted to trip but am do scared of having a bad trip

A little dose of it would definitely change your life

Psychedelics saved my 8 year relationship 💜
did you take them alone or together?
After a lifetime of materialistic pursuits and achieving many of my life's goals, I fell into a deep midlife depression. I languished in that depression for years assuming I had a chemical imbalance or some sort or hidden illness. I was sick, depressed, anxious and lost. Nothing helped. Doctors prescribed anti-depressants which only made things worse. While I had all the material possessions I could have ever wanted and a loving family, I became hopeless nonetheless. One day, which I now believe was not an accident, I came upon a video on KZhead discussing psychedelics as treatment for inter psychic depression. On January 2nd 2016 I took 5 grams of psilocyben mushrooms. My life changed in an instant. Like many before me, for the first time in my life, I felt a divine connection, an inexplicable awareness that everything I thought to be true, was BS. I felt a love like nothing I had ever felt before. It was the pinnacle moment of my life, even more impactful than the birth of my children. I had gone home and I did not want to return here at all. If I had died that night, I would have gone willingly to that place of divine love. A few months later, I went to an Ayahuasca ceremony. Like G. Hancock, I was given a thorough life review. I became aware instantly, how toxic I had become. The first night on Ayahuasca was the most horrifying and difficult experience of my life. I begged Mother Ayahuasca for mercy.( I really did feel an authoritative female presence) She was unrelenting however as she showed me again and again the horrors of my existence up this point. I died that night as for the first time, I gave up to a higher intelligence. She showed me a darkness I thought only existed in Biblical lore. The 2nd night I was so defeated I could fight no longer. I wept in silence until my tears dried up. I shared this with nobody else at the ceremony. I suppose in her grace, Mother Ayahuasca picked me up and asked if I was ready to live with purpose. I replied with an enthusiastic yes. After a few more difficult hours, she showed me a little mercy as I began to feel the love of my family. I began to feel my place in this world in a way I never considered. I began to dry tears of joy as I saw and felt the love of all things. At the end of the two day ceremony, I realized that these benevolent intelligent beings intended to use me as a mercenary for good. I was to spread a message of love. I knew people would listen to me too, because this new behavior was so uncharacteristic of me, that it left most friends perplexed and awed by the radical change in my behavior. I died and was reborn. I am not religious in any way and aI doubt all things until they are proven to me in an incontrovertible way. I now feel the presence of angels and like Graham Hancock, I too ended a 35 year addiction to Cannabis. I equate the experience to a system re boot, a cleansing and a cosmic download that prepares journeyers to become messengers of love. I use DMT occasionally and although the messages are often blurred in the haste of a ten minute trip into chaos and beauty, I always encounter entities, some loving, some not. I have been sized up by dark forces that seem to know immediately that I have died and been reborn. They bore with me and act disinterested. Entering those realms is a rush. As you cross over you see the glowing eyes of souls and alien beings waiting for you. The weaker trips leave you on the outside, but you see them waiting for you in the kaleidoscope of colors and geometric amalgamations as your earthly senses all become one. Like a few others have said on here, DMT is not a recreational drug and it will permanently change you. You will never see your world the same again. I wanted and needed that, but many do not. My Ayahuasca experience was so profound and horrifying, it gave me PTSD for about six months. I slept only a few hours a night and would routinely wake up with existential anxiety. I would like to see DMT slipped into the water source of all the world's leaders. No other molecule has the ability to change the world in an instant the way DMT could. I hope this post helps a few lost souls like me. Peace.
Does the cleansing and download of messages stick with you, or do you need a regular dose?
wow, what a story - bless you
My Cilent blessed me with shoorms for the first time a month ago and I gotta stay I never felt that level of happiness before I was laughing dancing singing being a child again ,it felt so good. I wasn't worried about yesterday or Tomorrow I was HERE .
I'm on lsd right now. (0:
Then finally all those comments under videos started making sense... ;)

Scarlet Pimpernel awesome!!!
Nope, you're not. Computer screens are just random shiny light sources when tripping and serve no purpose. Watching the clouds play with each other is more interesting. In fact, that's what happened in my first trip. I tried to make it perfect, got some relaxing music going, dl's a couple movies, had a friend over and all that. Ended up chilling for 8 hours in my lazy chair, watching the clouds and having a wide smile on my face. Just try it, preferably with friends in a forest.
@Astronaut I like shrooms but they're a bit too cerebral for me. I.e. I use them very seldom whereas LSD is more managable in that it can be dosed properly and even microdosed to facilitate productive work without tripping balls.
i have tripped a few times. EVERYTHING becomes theatre. Extremely eye opening. In a positive way. Everything seems to become very simplistic and personal potential just becomes surreal. Attention to detail is WOW

I got that “trip” just from smoking marihuana and it was the scariest experience ever and the most eye-opening thing that has ever happened to me. Awesome
A subject close to my heart.
Correction: There is no physical addiction the way it is with cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes, but there is an addiction the same way addiction to video games is. it's a desirable experience.
Addiction to video games is more or less the same as addiction to substances. If you're killing time or relaxing and your life doesn't evolve around gaming, it's not an addiction. There's no neurological proof for neurotic addiction unless substance is heavily neurotoxic, like alcohol. So, there's only psychological addiction and rare cases of bad neurotoxic addictions. What I mean is, tobacco for example isn't any more addictive than gaming until you're smoking hundreds of cigarettes per day. It's our social behavior that creates these ideas of addiction. Or the lack of intimate social structure in many cases and ultimately the conditioning. Psychedelics are very different from other substances and could be called as anti-addictive substances too. Reason for that revolves around the fact that they act more or less as 'sobering' experience. People tend to slip for addiction very young or after trauma. That's because they want to escape reality in their way. Some cases has to do with the fact that their life just happened to be full of stimulative substances (rock stars etc.). After certain time of conditioning (games, substances, tendencies etc.) one's addicted. Not because it's physical. Because they don't know about anything else. Trying to be without those habits has no stimulative content and usually causes anxiety. Sometimes it's bad case of illness sometimes it's petulance. Always it's different than what you've used to when under the affect/addiction. How about the anti-addictive affects of psychedelics? When consumed, they have inevitable change in perception. However you see or feel the world when under affect of psychedelics, it's still the most clear view of the world in the moment. If you have a reason to change your view of the addiction, it will happen. The clarity under psychedelics is something no other drug or bad habit can achieve. That's something one didn't feel when slipped to addiction, but it's something one is forced to experience at the moment. Anyway, addiction is the same as any other conditioned habit. If it's bad for your self or surroundings, it's addiction. If it's beneficial, it's something else.
Elite Extremophile Clearly you had never been addicted to anything serious... here is withdrawal symptoms from heroin: Pain areas: in the muscles Whole body: excessive hunger, lethargy, loss of appetite, night sweats, shakiness, weakness, clammy skin, craving, feeling cold, or sweating Behavioral: agitation, crying, excitability, irritability, restlessness, or self-harm Psychological: delirium, depression, hallucination, paranoia, or severe anxiety Sleep: insomnia, nightmares, sleepiness, or sleeping difficulty Gastrointestinal: gagging, nausea, vomiting, or flatulence Cognitive: disorientation, mental confusion, racing thoughts, or slowness in activity Mood: boredom, feeling detached from self, or loss of interest or pleasure in activities Nasal: congestion or runny nose Eyes: dilated pupil or watery eyes Also common: nervousness, seizures, sensitivity to pain, slurred speech, stomach cramps, teeth chattering, tingling feet, trembling, or tremor So tell me. does that sound the same as battling addiction to video games? p.s. Nobody smokes hundreds of cigarettes per day. That's deadly and probably physically impossible due to time limitation.
And you're clearly missing my point. Heroin for example isn't very neurotoxic substance, so it couldn't affect neurons the way it causes such symptoms. Yeah, I'm talking about heroin, not some toxic compound sold as heroin. So those symptoms are mostly due to psychological aspects and conditioning. Not for concrete damage on one's body due to heroin. Also, under heroine addiction, one's social structure and personal health care isn't very rational. Every external factor has as huge impact on one's addiction. Actually far higher than the substance itself. It's not impossible to have most of the same withdrawal symptoms on gaming addict. Also gaming addiction could have several other irreversible damages. I'll make example scenario of badly addicted gamer: This guy has been addicted to gaming for many years and it has gotten very serious year a go. He doesn't sleep, eat or drink responsibly. Doesn't leave house, until he's getting microwave pizza and Mountain Dew from shop other side of the road, for the next two days. His sleep consists of 0,5-1h REM sleep and 4-6h of non-REM. This could be sleep apnea for all it matters. His spine is deformed because he lives in his gaming chair. Every social intercourse he's had, is over the games he's playing. Last time he went to dentist was 11 years a go when he was 15 years old. Scenario like this causes very bad withdrawal symptoms and general health issues. He went to doctor for aching head and back. Also his body temperature was peaking at 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Had to put to intensive care unit. Muscle fitness is alarming. He has heart and vascular diseases due to bad diet, lack of exercise and sleep. Dental hygiene is bad and level of full body inflammation is high. It's a miracle he's not dead yet. Spinal cord is badly damaged and irreversibly so. This guy doesn't run ever again. First couple of days he spent at intensive care unit, for heart and vascular diseases and for the bad inflammation. From this time he has no memories other than paranoia, delirium and anxiety. After he's out of ICU his anxiety grows to depression and his concentration is severely disoriented and he's socially awkward. Withdrawal symptoms are bad at this time. There's no games to help him concentrate and he's scared of social situations. First time in years he has to confront his physical and psychological symptoms. His heart is at bad state and seizures are common. It could take many years to get close to what healthy person is. Because his spine, heart and vascular system is damaged, he'a in constant paint. It's hard to live with it which also increases the risk of suicide for anxiety and depression. Also such psychological condition could create almost every thinkable physical symptom. So, how gaming addiction isn't even close to heroin addiction? They're both nearly as neurotoxic (heroin being little higher than games), so mainly external factors and life style causes the withdrawal symptoms. p.s. I simply stated that the neurotoxic level of tobacco - to create physical addiction - is too low on common smoker.
So I simply corrected your list of "physically addictive" substances and tried to explain what addiction really is about. Alcohol is the only physically (neurologically) addictive substance for its shockingly neurotoxic trait on your list. Heroine and especially tobacco are both neurotoxic, but not in a way those would cause neurological addiction at commonly used dosage.
better to be addicted to psilocybin then coka cola or mcdonalds...and addiction to substances compared to something physical like sex or video games is like comparing apples to oranges
I have tried some of these substances for the first time as a 30 year old atheist. Absolutely an amazing life changing experience. The music I listen to, the value I now see in religion or spirituality, my now lack of fear in death, and my depression. Went off pills for 6 months. Now I have only tried shrooms and LSD once each. ONCE! I would never have believed a drug could have that long and pronounced experience after the event. I have not had a "bad trip" so I don't know that side of the experiences, perhaps my attitude might change. But I am intrigued by microdosing . Shame it's illegal, which makes me sad. Also there are few people I can share this experiences with because of the legality. Absolutely nuts!
What a great speech so informative, so documented and personal. Thanks for share.
Psychedelics must be easily accessible and taken yearly. I have read and heard amazing things about these but still haven't gotten the chance to try them.
Extremely well spoken, these substances let you perceive yourself and life around you in a deeper sense.

That stage is a trip
Scott Jones Looks like a tripping hazard!
Such a good speaker
Ever since I’ve started taking shrooms my depression is non existent I become more hyper focused on tasks and I truly feel I’ve transcended another step tbh if humans kill off their own egos the world would start getting a lot better

I'd love to hear more about the long-term benefits of bad trips. So if anyone wants to share his or her experience it would be highly appreciated.
Joe Rogan needs him on his podcast
The use of Psychedelics has pushed me to learn more about the world and myself including pushing me to move forward in education and social obligations. Can't describe the positive impact psychedelics can have on a person, their well being and the relationships they have with others.
I ENJOYED THIS TALK SO MUCH . THANK YOU!!
