I had a psychedelic experience once that sent me to eternity and meeting the creator. My ego dissolved yet I was physically terrified. It was so magical and so full of love, changed my life for good. In the most positive way possible.
Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.
I do respect and believe in psychedelics as treatment, yet I’m reluctant about using them personally. Not sure about how “good” it may do to someone
dr.martyshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
I find it funny if there's any psychedelic therapy there online
Psilocybin saved my life from 16 years of uncontrollable suicidal thoughts. After just a few experiences I realized my depression and ptsd were completely gone. Imagine carrying heavy chains from the age of 11 for almost two decades and then all of a sudden that burden is gone.
LSD did it for me. I have not been sad in ages.

I'm glad you found the healing you needed. Hopefully more people can find help in similar ways as we learn more.
I am happy for you 😊
@@Alex-js5lg your a beautiful person ❤️
I tried some psilocybe cubensis and the experience I had was life altering, life saving trully. I am a 25 yo man who suffered from severe depression and PTSD for 6 years. I felt trapped in a never ending nightmare that was consuming me slowly but surely without any way out. I was on 3rd line of treatment, tried to take my own life twice, couldn't go long without sharp chestpain, backpain, migraines. An invisible burden that would soften sometimes just to come back even stronger and strip me of all hopes. I don't want to paint psychedelics as a panacea but in my case, where I felt like common western medecine had failed me, it trully was a miracle. I had lost my faith in a god but the mystical journey felt like a revelation, a contact with a higher entity. My darkest thoughts, the things who traumatized me and the dread of existence were filling my head but without any anxiety or fear. There was a sense of purpose and unity within the world, our beautiful nature and the cosmos it was trully magnificient. It was something words can't do justice, I felt like weeks had passed during the 6 hours it lasted. After I came back to a normal state of conciousness I felt no pain, no sorrow, no emptyness. I was a person again and not just a shell emptied by years of suffering. It was a real reset in my brain, I had forgotten what it felt to feel something other than pain or dread. What it feels to look forward to something that is not the release of death. I am so happy. It's been 5 months and I trully feel like I am healed.

Good for you man! Pray for me mate - I’m still stuck there
So good to hear about your experience-thank you for sharing.
be well my fellow human
@@katehenderson8194 … please tell someone who you trust that you are not doing so well. please get help somewhere. hugging you in spirit here and forever. peace to you always.
Psychedelic really healed me years back. These are great healing compounds! When used in proper context.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source, anyone?
doc.jeanne
Is on Instgram?
Yess.
I just had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great! I loved it.
I did psychedelics many times in my 20's. Almost every trip was amazing and incredibly enjoyable. No it didn't make me insane, but gave my life a renound sense of child-like wonder that has stayed with me 40 years on. Yes there were a few times tripping when I had moments of real terror, but it was always quickly followed by laughter over it. I have no regrets over taking it.
An example of a terror moment - at the peak of a trip, I threw up a taco with beef chilli in the toilet. I looked down and saw my heart beating in the bowl. I was convinced that I pucked out my ❤️. I had a panic attack, thinking it would be a waste of time to call for an ambulance, because I will surely be dead any moment. After a minute, I spent the next hour laughing about it. I was fortune to have never lost the fact that I was under the influence of a drug. I have heard of people who forget this fact and had terrible trips that affected them badly. Taking these drugs are not for everyone. Especially people with real psychological problems.
@@smeer001 When doing psychedelics in groups, it makes sense to have a "designated driver." It's one thing to see your own heart in the toilet, but to have another 'tripper' agree with you would be total schizophrenia. 😬😬😬 🤣
Many times in your 20's? Does that mea you've stopped now? If so, why?
@@justmemyselfandi7760 I am 59 years old now. Far removed from circles of people who could get any. I can honestly tell you though, if I could get it I'd drop a hit right now.
I agree. I am approaching 40 years of psychedelic journeys, mostly with respect, also. I am GRATEFUL
I am writing about this for my english exam next year, its disgusting the amount of backlash I have got from the teachers and the school so far, I love seeing this subject evolve and replace the stereotypic and misinformative information that we are taught at school.
Good for you to have the balls to speak your mind.
I feel you on this. I got my addiction studies degree in 2018 with the main goal of working with psychedelics to treat addiction when the legal avenues arise. I was up front about my intentions from the get go and many of the teachers were not supportive of my path. I did a paper on MDMA and had used the phase 1 studies from MAPS as a source. My instructor at the time tried to say they (MAPS) were a bunch of "crack pots" in California and wasn't going to accept the sources of my paper because she thought they weren't peer review studies. Not only that, she thought to make an example out of me for the rest of the class and put my paper on blast in class. Of course I made her look like a fool when I shared my peer reviewed examples and, of course, she had to accept my paper and apologize for being wrong. I've known the benefits of psychedelics since a very early age. I'm very thankful the tide has finally turned and that these medicines will soon be available to help our sick society. Keep up the good work!
That’s awesome! I’m taking my English course this year and I got to choose my course theme I’ll write 5 essays on. I chose mycology and there is a specific essay I get to write specifically about psychedelics. I’m sorry you are getting backlash I’ve actually got not only support but the curiosity of my classmates. I’m just so happy people do take it seriously. Congrats for having the confidence to talk about something that needs to be talked about. That’s very admirable.
Some of the stuff out there is exactly what you were taught in school. Make no mistake. Others though, psychedelics in my case especially Cubensis, are fundamental to who you are supposed to be. Almost as if taking them, synchronizes you with all realities. If you let it. I guess if we entertain one we must give all methods their just respect. So long as it is in a known-to-be-safe environment, especially for first-timers, then I firmly believe every person should exp at least once. Correctly done, I also believe many of the current ills of the world could be solved a lot quicker if the right decision makers would just take psychedelics, one single time. It is almost more about the inner harmony, the months that follow, than it is about the actual 5 - 6 hour trip.
Going to be doing a presentation on psychedelics tomorrow lol
Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .
Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source out here.
I have been having constant and unbearable anxiety because of university. dr.jeromespores is life saver. Thank you
@@ahmetberat7357 Does he ship?
@@ahmetberat7357 How did it go, is this person reliable? I am in the same boat as you and I want to so bad to try it out.
@@lucasanthony5648 dr.jeromespores
I was being treated for Bipolar disorder, I was on an antipsychotic, mood stabilizer, anti depressant and anti anxiety medication. I've been off my meds for a little over two years now and actually feel JOY! I give the credit to changing my environment and Psilocybin. Psilocybin can rejuvenate neurons that have become dormant from depression and actually grows and thickens dendrites! This is how we can help encourage neuroplasticity.
I really wish 🍄 were legal. The only way I can get off of these SSRIs is microdosing. They're turning brains into pudding. I don't have regular access so I'm gonna have to learn to fruit my own to heal myself. I'd rather not do it in a medical setting anyway lol.
Yeah levine_tripps is highly recommended
Hi Gabrielle, very intrigued by your post as similar circumstances but never tried psilocybin so not sure process to follow. Please can you share what process you followed?
Wow..our stories match to a 'T'...Im hoping Psilocybin 🙏 will help me to finally free myself of the horrible anti phycotics I've been on for 15 years. Although they have helped me alot in my journey that put me in my current position, I am ready to come off of them because of the side effects. Thank you for sharing!!!!
Wonderful to hear…. I too was told to take anti-psychotics in my 20’s, but I said no… and if I had psychedelics as an option… my very very slow healing journey would have been much faster and deeper. After all the research, it is still illegal! The health care system is so impotent at best and often very harmful. Thankfully most police serves don’t really care and turn a blind eye. Anyway glad you have benefited so profoundly from psychedelics.
Psychedelics can have profound effects. My experiences literally made me into the man I am today - but their glorification is a grossly dangerous thing. They may have been used throughout the history of mankind, but usually in controlled and quasi-religious settings. A psychedelic trip in the wrong set or setting will shred your mind in ways that are simply not able to be described in language.
This is exactly what came to mind, what if change of perception is towards wrong dangerous side instead of creativity and great noble things? It would seem Having good environment around you and protection from bad dark side is crucial
I wholeheartedly agree. They've made me into a better, happier, more loving and understanding man. Harm reduction, moderation, and responsible use is paramount for all psychoactive substance use.
@@atk97 even bad trips can be extremely helpful. I promote responsible use though, to keep it as positive as possible
They were used in wars.taken before battles or to increase ability to fight
@@bumblebootwiddletoes5185 my experiences have always been just flowers, rainbows, and unicorns. Also the fabric of reality unraveling itself and all that, but always positive I just can't seem to get bad trips and I'm not satisfied with my power to suppress them, I feel like I'm more powerful than Ayahuasca and not even when I try to confront it to get shaken up it happens It's just been too good for me, I wish there were some more challenges, I want to actually grow and learn and I'm all for the "bad trips", bc it's always a confrontation with myself where i learn something useful. I really don't see how one can have a bad trip without having the worst environment ever or being completely unprepared for the experience/afraid of themselves/the " "plant" teacher" Like, I just completely surrender and trust it, even mentalizing: "take over my body and take me away, as far away as you like and then some" when the ego death starts to creep in
I graduated high school in Billings MT in 1972. I’m grateful there were psychedelics, especially psilocybin and peyote, readily available. Many lovely times in the mountains. I’m old now and it’s been decades, but I treasure the experiences and the memories.
50 years later and here I am walking the same path you did. Absolutely love spending time near the mountains, especially to stargaze. Thanks for your comment
how come you don't use them anymore?
Hell, yes brother.
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.

Nobody buy off of anyone in a youtube comment section. 1. They are probablu scams and 2. if you get caught, its a felony charge and can really screw you over.
What country are you in? I might know some websites that can help you out
Ah yes, the Crypto Bros sure know how to pivot
the best place to find them is go to an underground party or rave, or start hanging out with some hippies or alternative groups of people and just ask around
I am currently enrolled in a study at Johns Hopkins for psilocybin and with my first dose - I have seen so many positive changes and will have second dose next week!! It has given me a new positive outlook on me and life.
Interesting to hear that, psilo has tremendously become a perfect healing for depression and anxiety, I've great time while breaking through em..

Psychedelics give you the ability to shut down the thinking mind... Everyone is different but it allows you to step out of thinking, the same thing meditation does.. the difference is only practice, practicing to step out of thinking.... Meditation

Omg this is on World Science?!?!? Amazing!!!
This isn't the first vid they've done on psychedelics, I'd highly recommend that one also
We need the scientists who are awake to help us fill the gap
Do (not) get high on your own supply - with a twist;)
Right the fact it got a platform to speak is amazing
Yes - I'm so glad they're sharing this conversation. I'm not a Rogan fan, but Brian Greene talked with him about psychedelics a bit when he was on. Those specific episodes were very insightful.
Reggie explained how us improv musicians can sense what's coming in the next millisecond is spot on and the best explanation of our abilities I ever heard! he's bright and talented as he'll and I always loved him on James late show.This is being told by a 55 year improving guitarist. I gave up reading music 25 years ago and so glad I did.
Yeah, and once you have a fundamental grasp of the instrument it really becomes like that of humming or whistling/singing and makes it allot easier to improvise as you are not expending any of your focus on how you’re gonna move your fingers so you can be fully present while listening to a band or track and play along in real time, which also becomes easy once you understand the structure of how music and songs work and train your ear to pick up on the chord changes. Different songs have different chord structures (ex: a song with a 1,4,5 progression in the key of C major would progress with the first chord being C, followed by C and then F) the why isn’t important, but my point is simply that songs follow a set formula and once you learn the formulas you are then aware of how the song progresses so that you’re not swing in the dark guessing. And the coolest part of all this is that with sufficient practice this all happens subconsciously and at that point your entire focus is exclusively on expressing your emotion and imparting how the musical piece makes you feel into the mix and even that doesn’t require much effort, though is a very personal thing to pour the entirety of your soul out into what you’re playing and feels like a very vulnerable place. Kinda like crying in public. That’s why I don’t perform, but I am in love with music and will play guitar until draw my last breath :) 🤙
He was put on the spot at the end and delivered, just amazing!
Psychedelic therapy treats mental health issues, anxiety and depression. Likely will be one of the most profound experiences a human can have in a lifetime.
I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
dr.perryshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Been through this conversation before. I can’t do anything without a proper medical professional following me.
YES, he is dr.perryshroom. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
It would be great to hear in more detail about your mystical experiences during meditation.
What a sober & realistic discussion, thank you 😊 👍✌️
sober.
This is one of the best discussions I have seen about psychedelics,in the public sphere.
Lordytrip deals on different psychedelic You can get most psychedelic from them
Brian, chapeaux in my opinion one of your Best Big Ideas to explain the world of psychedelics. Truly a masterpiece! You covered in 100 minutes how new science will help people to make suffering an option and to live their dream. Many thanks to your participants to share their beliefs.
Reggie is on the mark. If you haven't done much psychedelics you haven't really got a ton of understanding of them. Learning from experience always trumps books. There is no time. The self is real and unreal simultaneously. We're all God eating cake and having it too.
@Mycotenn

I have personally experienced the power of psychedelics through Mother Ayahuasca, which helped me to see reality through the lens of love and to release trauma and negativity that was stored in my subconscious mind. Which has led to a new understanding of myself and also my place in the world. Psychedelics have the potential to heal traumas, connect us with our creativity, and expand our consciousness. I am grateful for the insights and healing that psychedelics have brought into my life and I believe that they have the potential to change the world. 🌿✨🙏

I took mescaline once 49 years ago. I cant draw acceptable stick figures...on mescaline i drew 2 perfectly to scale drawings. One was a classroom pencil sharpener that was screwed to the wall, the other an air grate in the ceiling of the same classroom. I was 16 and in high school. Mescaline unlocked something in my brain that made the drawings possible. Nothing like that has ever happened again.
Peyote is spirit . I understand Agarpe from buttons . I wrote poetry Mescalito spoke to me on a deep level
Mine is San Pedro cactus 🌵
You know it's legal right? You can puchase San Pedro or T panachoi/T bridgesii/T Peruvian cactus cuttings and make tea out of the cactuses. All legal. It's legal to grow these cactuses and the cuts of cactus. It only becomes illegal when you eat or prepare it. They are used commonly as landscaping plants. Sometimes of the year you can find these plants at Walmart or home Depot garden centers. I can't draw stick figures either. Never tried drawing on mescaline. I'm just getting my cactus garden started.
@@1lightheaded I can’t figure out, why it that Mecalito so often “reveals” itself when mescaline is used. Never heard of an “ LSDito, or an DMTtto LOL !

When we are asking people for sacrifice, and to serve and protect, a psychological program should be the first condition of employment. All people who wield power should be willing to learn about themselves. Thank you Rick, Reggie, Gul, and Brian for an open honest discussion, it's refreshing. The idea of opening up a critical time frame to increase your understanding you is really broadening our horizons.

Synergy revelations, Brian Green, great choices of participants, wow, intellectual art. Tears in my eyes, gladness at these days of enlightenment...sadness, the wasted time, lost research, the legislation adopted and imposed on generations, shameful madness. This open minded conversation on the cusp of hopefully a great renaissance of perceptive awareness where all are invited to celebrate enlightenment.... Ascension unto the sacred love, vibrational truth of which we all partake. Here in Hawaii there is an timeless adage, "try look your inside."

Very true to my own experience. I re-lived some traumatic pain again which felt more intense but at the same time I felt safe feeling pain, fears etc so intensely. And it was a mix of emotions, good & bad during ego death. And then it all ended with tons of tears of happiness..bitter sweet moment when I said omg it’s so sad people don’t see love but it’s everywhere!! I felt so much love everywhere and inside me too, as if something was healing me with lots of love…It was almost the same emotion when my son was born.

I’ve been microdosing over the past month and have noticed a wonderful change in myself. Psychedelics are medicine #legalizepsychedelics
what are you taking and how did you get access to them?
I'm also curious to know your dosing schedule.
I respect you guys more and more, thank you!
Excellent documentary. Very well organised and thought out. Thank all of you who participated in this debate!
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Focus, purpose, intention, emotion, reasoning, create new connections
Reggie’s narration was amazing. I could listen to him all night
my last trip taught me things about myself that I can't even put into words. I used to trip for fun and games or to enjoy a video game or TV. But my last trip. my last trip showed me where I was wrong. what I was not doing that I should be. it was frightening but being a experienced user and sorta a pysconaut , I knew what was happening. my subconscious had finally revealed to me what I had been shying away from. let's just say now , I'm a dad of two and a husband to a loving wife. if you are going to use , use wisely , in a comfortable setting. remember there is no such thing as a bad trip. what's makes a trip bad is just you learning something about yourself , your environment, others, that you have been ignoring or pushing to the subconscious. accept the Information you are allowed incite to. the ln when you come down fix it. become better. one love ! one consciousness. peace love and happiness fellow star beings ❤
I would say we are experiencing the source of everything, which doesn’t distinguish between inside and outside. Infinite love.
We’re finally getting this in place. An extra bonus to helping those with PTSD, anxiety and depression I believe will be the side effect to the casual user/society….More empathy, love and caring. We could use it right about now.
My experience on psychedelics has been a great benefit, one ought to take the right dosage, below is where I usually got mine..

Psilocybin is brilliant! Spirituality and creativity and joy. Shedding all teenage concerns about being cool, popularity, gadgets. Reengaging with nature. Deeper love for other people and living beings and for being in itself as a whole. No downside like with marijuana. More energy and confidence and vision.

Great talk, I thank you all for helping get the word out of the immense possibilities being shown for our society. "Turning the Tide," a talk by Terence McKenna, is my favorite talk on this subject (previously known as, "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism.") The "machine gun" drug you took, Brian, drug sounds like salvia devonorum, or possibly jimson weed. Both are delirients, like amanita mus-scare-ya, ketamine, bath salts, "synthetic marijuana," etc. "Prior knowledge" -- our mind's *projective systems* causes us to "see what we expect to see," literally. But if we become aware of what we're doing only half-consciously, we can turn it off, or turn it down a notch or two, and see things more clearly, or broadly. You've probably heard the saying, of "perceiving the universe in a pebble" or something to that nature. Here's how Terence McKenna said it: "...we’re accustomed to seeing things on the surface; to being focused in the now moment; to be focused in those aspects of reality that directly impinge on our own health, diet, and immediate well-being. And the depth in everything--*the infinity in a rose, the infinity in a wave breaking on a beach*--all that has been swept aside by our *utilitarian instincts.* The psychedelics dissolve that historical presence and release us into a kind of eternal time, the time we existed in before history. And there, authentic being is waiting for us." --Terence McKenna, radio interview on KPFA radio
Great post. Been following MAPS since it's inception. Used correctly MDMA can (among other things) literally unleash the hidden /suppressed mega-creative side, developed in some of us artists (that sometimes only comes anymore WITH the use of compounds like MDMA). The affect on a person can change their life. If you can imagine being one or two steps away from another "Pieta" or your personal "Mona Lisa", or becoming a Warhol. I speak from experience. I see the amazingly creative and healing potential of MDMA/psilocybin therapy/treatment. The blessings we receive from these organic compounds is un-ending.
I know of a woman who had a brain tumor size of golf ball in left Temporal removed, the aftermath left her with tunnel vision, anxiety, vertigo, and few other issues, long story short, the doctors told her nothing could do for her. After time her husband did so much research and come upon micro dosing pylocibin, so she tried it and from first dose and after, it helped her with anxiety, memory, vertigo, and made her feel normal again, it didnt help with vision but it did help her to point she was able to go back to work, and regain her life. Her husband had found studies showing that pylocibin helps the brain neuroplasticity, and the doctors said in her case make the brain light up twice as much, showing that it was helping the brain waves, the synapses, and help bridge the brain connections around the area where they removed the tumor, and had said it was helping the brain send signals better.
I can recommend you to this psyc specialist where I get my stuffs from..

I would take it again, because it took me out of depression. The problem is, I was doing so good, I ran into a narcissist and went out with her, and ruined everything in my life. If I get another chance, I am staying single, and happy.
This is a beautiful and curious conversation. Thank you for having it, I hope everyone is open to this conversation.

I had an experience similar to what Huxley and the others describe here of their psychedelic experiences - absolute Oneness and indescribable euphoria - that lasted for 3 days as a result of intensive study of A Course in Miracles. I truly believe and have lived ever since (26 years ago now) that this “altered” experience is True Reality …. while most of humanity lives a dimmed down version of life.
Thank you so much for this video. It has come to my awareness at amazing timing and it is so complex and interesting.
absolutely brilliant conversation
Over-The-Counter, inexpensive, easily accessible, available. A spiritual and mental health supplement.
They blow away ALL your defence mechanisms and show reality and the interconnection of everything , spooky but more real than our very myopic view ! A spiritual experience that ALL leaders need to check out . Great thanks
this is definitely one of the best discussions I've heard on the topic and with nothing but positive review comments here in the thread it just blows my mind that these "tools/medicines" are still illegal but not surprised at the same time when this country cares more about financial gains than it does healing the mind and traumas. mush love everyone. please do your part, anything you can towards helping this information reach who it needs to reach. psychedelics have changed my life so much and had made me a better person but haven't had the chance to experience them the last 13 years and since then my traumas, ptsd, anxiety, depression and anger have all enveloped my life but I don't know a single person in to psychedelics in person which saddens me but just shows me how sorely needed this information needs to be heard.

Great perspective, And yes, Life is to our own understanding! Which is why our ideas and understanding of what is accepted/ acceptable is based on our environment(ie. learned socially)... We "ALL" need to come together civilly and grow outwardly! BSR As that is our natural path of evolution...

Thanks for a great informative presentation and guests
Thank you for the lesson, all four of you.
I read some of the experiences expressed here in the comments. Some good, some not so. It is a fascinating, subjective and therefore complicated subject. I am a chemist and think about molecules in many ways. I love brain chemistry, memories, the interpretation of light hitting our retinas to create the world we live in and the consciousness we acquire to deal, enjoy, hate, cry or simply watch such universe being there. Am I a part of the universe? Of course! My point: a hot pepper, a soft or loud song, a bird chirping, the excitement or horror of parachuting from an airplane, the soft touch of a human hand, they all provide the same input into our brain. Then we interpret such inputs per our style, our mood and what our life is like in the moment. In a hurry? Bored? Happy? Same input, different reaction, even for me. I love spicy food, rollercoasters, am a risk taker (not stupid things though, whatever that means) so I wonder what goes through my mind that makes me so different even from my siblings. Yet similar in some ways. Genetics. To all and everyone of you, past, present and future, enjoy your senses. I will spare you from discussing synesthesia which is an awesome topic of conversation. Cheers!
came off of a shroom trip last night and understanding the concept and the experiences people have conveyed can only be learned thoroughly if you have partaken in some sot of drug induced trip. I feel as i have completely changed my way of thinking and mindset as a whole since being shown that love goes no where, you must show it to receive it and once i had that shown to me through psychedelics, everything changes. It starts off small because you test it out to friends, family and SO's but as Brian said in the video, over time your goal start becoming a reality as your intentions are with nothing else but love. I do strongly encourage other minds suffering with pain, PTSD and other types of mental illness to experience this whole other world.
I’m loving this Reggie Watts love of Words ❤

In the 1960s, we used to prepare for a trip. We chose the music we wanted, draped windows with beautiful fabrics, set out candles for the lighting, and incense. We set up areas for laying down, and comfortable sitting. We bathed or showered, and placed interesting and beautiful things around the room, and unplugged the phone. We also removed mundane objects from the area. We had water ready for everyone, and often juice. We designated someone who would not take the drug, but was there in case someone needed talking down. We all took it together at the same time. These preparations made for very positive experiences. It was never a party drug for us, so we received a more Spiritual journey that was profound.🖤🇨🇦
2 years back me and my fellas we took a trip next to the sea, slightly as you said. We had a great time all six of us.
@@sinefuture It really does make a difference.🖤🇨🇦
Wow I am super pumped for this
We got shroom varieties, LSD , DMT, Psychomeds, gummies ,ecstacy, hit us up.. We got you covered 👆👆🍄🍄☝☝
In my experience, when two or more people share a joint experience that focuses their attention and which they jointly contribute to (such as watching a movie, making love, massage or even playing a game) then it is totally possible to share hallucinations. I've had this several times with various people. Whilst it doesn't prove external energies being revealed but it is rather baffling to think that two or more people are hallucinating the very same thing.
Yeah gotta say glad you said that about having the same hallucinations as others, I remember the first time I experienced it vividly, I remember cos it was that profound an experience
we all see different rainbows depending on light and distance even when we're next to each other. thanks for opening my vision today
I have absolutely experienced that with another person. It is truly astonishing when it occurs, as if two minds become one.
100% agree I have had these myself . I was amazed that myself and a few friends held a conversation without a word being spoken.
@Hoffman Jecka little overwhelmed but not uncomfortable
Brilliant conversation, thank you everyone for sharing 💚 I'm Researching guided Psychedelics as a natural treatment for myself. The discoveries are very encouraging 🙌

Brian, Terrence McKenna would be thankful and proud of you to bring on the topic of psychedelics, Kudos to you👍 as McKenna frequently spoke about, psychedelics is the most significant way for the human and environment to survive, especially in the toxic world that we live in right now. Thanks so much Brian👏✨
Sometimes it turns out the whole illegalisation of certain substances was money/fear driven by people with their own agendas. Since these boycots are almost global while their health contribution could be so large, I feel like the people stalling this progress for so long should be held accountable (or at least be called out). Here in the Netherlands, for example, we like to follow the US a bit too much. Also, psilocybin mushrooms have been illegalized some years ago because a French tourist committed suicide while on mushrooms. I guess i'm trying to say that the whole "war on drugs" thing is still backfiring.
@@rikvermeer1325 Lordytrip got diffrent psychedelic You can contact them to get that if you can't access it
An amazing conversation...I can only hope that more people stay away from the propaganda and misinformation about psychedelics and we open it up to an experience that can be good or bad or bleh...but an experience none the less and should be learned from and cherished as a choice that we should be allowed to make for ourselves.
Rick Doblin is the real GOAT!!!
These things changed my life in such a positive way. It's definitely a lot to take in, like 50 years of knowledge shoved into my brain in one night. But it was worth it. It might not be for everyone but I think if you go into it with a positive outlook and want to know specific things, you will get what you expect.

I first learned about Psychedelics by reading a Time/Life book on Psychology, basically a picture book with competent "pop-sci" articles that went with the pictures. I was probably around 10 y.o. when I first read it. I was intrigued, but I never had access or the urge to actually try it myself until I was a lot older and had read up on the subject for years at that point. I also was into ancient Asian culture and self-learned (with books, of course), to have semi regular meditation sessions when quite young, lol, I hid it from my family because I knew that they would make fun of me for it. I also eagerly read Carlos Castaneda's first few books, Charles Tart books and other fad type books of the time, lol, the Tao de Ching, learned the 40-yarrow stalk method for divining the I Ching as a teen, read several books on shamanism, practiced drumming, rattle shaking, chanting and various visualizations common amongst most shamanistic tradition, like finding the entrance to and entering the lower world to find something like your spirit animal/entity for instance. When I finally tried hallucinogens, I figured that I was ready for it. Well, ...he-he... it was more powerful, more visual, spiritual and emotional than I thought it would be and I discovered a few things about life and the universe. It was a total blast in that place and time in my life. I had several extremely wonderful and a few very frightening experiences. That song "Don't Let It Show", by the Alan Parson's Project makes me chuckle still...

I could watch this for 2 more hours. ❤ I’m sad that it ended.
That was so gorgeous, thank you for facilitating. And that moment at the end, magic.
Mdma combined with psilocybin, is a magical journey.
Wow!! WSF now has a dedicated episode for this. We are going in a right direction.
Well they did make another episode where they talked about how psychedelics have been used historically, mostly in the tribal sense
Love the comparison of the experience to amplified musical improv... very valid.
This time spent in my life's journey, was eye opening. I am aware of these ideas. I agree and wish for the awakening of the "others".
Mycopete..
Did alit of acid and am truly glad i did. It opened my mind to many thing and changed my thought process for the better. I realized at a young age experiencing acid what really is important in the whole realm of the universe. I can only imagine what kind of uptight snot nose person would have been. Thank god im not that awful person. Never had a bad trip, like i said i did alot starting a a young age. It was my drug of choice. Today i have no addictions and still know what really matters in life its not what most people think and if you want to know you need to have your own experience with acid the answer is different for everyone
Thank you for this wonderful, fascinating, and entertaining presentation!

I was coming out anethestic, I woke up and saw myself as part what I was part of everything . Such As I can see through the bed I was sitting up on into mesh of amazing colours, yet I was aware of myself. I couldn't understand this different temporary reality which was frightening. Now I understand. Thank you everyone for sharing this video. Amazing.

I think that consciousness is a fundamental force of nature, and psychedelics are just a way to break the barriers between "thought" and "reality".
What an amazing contribution from such knowledgeable guests. I found myself feeling like I was included in the discussion with you all and yet I learned so much. This kind of information is priceless. I sense this topic is going to build momentum very quickly thankfully ! Thank you so much to all four of you very interesting people. 👏
My 1st experience with psychedelics was age 18 and LSD. I was hesitant the first time. After that I wanted more. It was not an addiction as they claim but a desire to explore myself more intimately within my own mind. I learned a lot while on LSD and "magic mushrooms" about my own life experiences and how to put the negatives in a better perspective. Being 55 now I wish to have more experiences like that again. I am curious to see if the "trips" would be along the same line or different since almost 30yrs have passed since the last "trip". I could put more here but then it would be a novel.

I would give it another shot!
I am about to turn 60 and I am also curious of what it would be like to take it again. More than 20 years since last trip.
@@smeer001 ... Glad I am not the only one that has the curiosity after such a long break.
My first and last trip was 53 years ago. My last flashback was 10 years ago. I took a huge dose..... wanted the full effect, and got it. Changed my life for sure. Don't need to ever do it again. Not necessary for me.
