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.
My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.
I was diagnosed with Depression and ADHD several years ago. I was prescribed Venlafaxine for the depression and Methylphenidate for the ADHD. Unfortunately, the Venlafaxine didn’t work for me. Later, I learned about *mycotask* and their approach to using psychedelic mushrooms as a treatment for depression. I decided to try a mild-to-medium dose of psilocybin. Initially, it was intended for a recreational trial, but I noticed a significant improvement in my mental well-being for several weeks afterward. I felt happier, more in control of my emotions, and my social anxiety disappeared, all from just one experience!

Cuvtixo D awww come on!!!! I was like good ol Terence with his witty remarks and vocabulary. One that I don't think I heard before. What a comment and then you just go spoil it lol. Only jokin bud.
As a teen with social anxiety -- even among my own family members -- I drank some psilocybin tea. Afterward, during a conversation with my mother, I felt a calm come over me and that a veil had been lifted. At that moment there was no anxiety. My normally buzzing mind was silent and it seemed that I could see and think clearly. Normally feeling unsure of myself, I experience a period of feeling confident that everything was going to be alright.
By the way ;"yes,You can look in the mirror on mushrooms" I have done it during one of my trips...I was kind of scared to do that because of stories I have heard:What if I see something horrifying??? So,very slowly and carefully I have gazed myself on the mirror and wawww ....I was soooo beautiful ;my God I didn't know how beautiful I was until then...There was nothing to be afraid of...Everything was beautiful and so did I...So I say do not condition yourself and give yourself a chance to see how beautiful You truly are...
I wish! I've done it many times and it doesn't last long before I have to look away. A few times it has been quite scary, most other times I'm just uncomfortable seeing myself as unfamiliar.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Psychedelics in general have done what hundreds of hours of PTSD therapy couldn't. I went from being on 31 pill daily for mental states to 0 over the course of 13 weeks. Like everything in the world. It's not for everyone and experiences will certainly vary. Me and my friends approached it from a lens of healing and learning and it's exactly what we got out of it.
The one time I had a bad trip, ended up being a great learning experience. I took some shrooms, called ALL of my friends. They sounded excited when I told them I was on shrooms. Inevitably they would ask if they came over they could have some. I didn't have any extra, then they would say, "Oh I can't trip sit with you I'm busy". This hit me deep in the feels, causing a bad trip. So I asked myself why I had sooooo many shitty "friends". The answer? "You're a druggy and so are they. You're pretty shitty too. You're a loser. Move away from your toxic home town and stop doing drugs". Felt excited and happy after getting this answer. I moved that same week. Best decision of my life.
Macro vs Micro had success in doing a few Macro first. Allowing the mushrooms to blast you into self awareness, showing you the shadows and trauma that have been hiding under the rug. Micro dosing has helped me stay on the pulse of my shadow work, helping me remember my best self.
But how do u find it. Kinda bs. I been off and on opiates for 6years. Now clean from that I wanted to try and put myself back together. But these chemicals shouldn't be this hard to get considering all my other connections??
I am so greatful and thankful I saw "how to change your mind' on Netflix and that it is legal where I live. It has literally changed my mind and my life. Thank you Michael Pollan
People with depression proceed with caution. I suffered from extreme depression and ptsd from a accident that left me burned and disfigured. I struggled with depression for years but never suicidal. I tried a mushroom trip as a last resort to cure my depression and what happened scared me! The trip made me comfortable with the thought of death. Almost made me think that suicide wouldn’t be so bad, it’s ok to die. These thoughts scared me to no end! I didn’t have these thoughts before the trip. Luckily I spoke with my wife throughout this process and together we worked it out. Later on a tried micro dosing which ultimately I believed truly helped me. The micro dosing made me more open and I was able to lay it all out and work thru things with my wife to help guide me. So just a word of caution. And please let your loved ones know what you are doing so they can offer help if needed.
The real fear is in living... when you got to that place in your head where you didn’t fear death is where it would have been helpful to have someone guide you through and back to how it relates to living and go into that in the trip. 🤟
I was once worried that I might be a psychopath. I told this to my counselor and she said, "I definitely know you're not a psychopath." I asked her how she knew. "A psychopath wouldn't be worried about it. A psychopath wouldn't care." I dont know if that conveys what I'm trying to say, but what I'm getting at is perhaps being scared of being ok with suicide is a good thing... depression is like a living death and a lot of our thoughts while depressed are like being ok with dying like that. So perhaps that is the lesson. Well...I think I really shit the bed on that one and i dont think what I said makes any sense, but I hope you know what I mean. Being scared of beingnok with death is like being afraid of death which, for a person with a wonderful wife etc is a good thing. Kicks your ass into appreciating life.
Well i mean the suicide part probably is your utilitarian logical male energy interpreting the new information of “death is ok” and yes, i believe that deat actually is ok although i’m scared of it (also ok) and wouldn’t pre maturely inflict in on myself.
@@l.p.5499 Psychedelics are very different from weed in my opinion. The experience will let u see things from an entirely new perspective, and most of the benefits are felt after the experiences has ended
@@l.p.5499 They are completly different. I have been a heavy weed smoker for 4 years and recently gotten into psychedelics and there is a huge difference. it will help disolve your fears and PTSD with the right mindset that you want to. But not comparable at all for what you get out of it.
@@bradleymyers Well, another question I have is, will it make you all panicky and freaking out and stuff like that. The reason why I ask is because if I smoke pot it makes me freak out and think I'm dying. I don't know, my brain is probably just messed up.
I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking mushrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD managed , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
@STRAWMAN HUMAN he always lied and Dennis admitted it. He got smacked too many times Plato g the heroic doses. He stopped using for years. But kept the going. I'm all for it.again and again..just take your time you will get to the place you should be.
I had given up hope and began using mushroom medicine. It has transformed me from the inside out. I'm sharing my journey now too and hope that people will benefit from it. Thanks for this great content.
@Mike Knight It is human to fear death but those cancer patients Pollan told us had the most logical reason to even fear not so distant death. Howerver, by dissolving their ego with high-dose psilocybin, their fear disappeared to nothingness. I do really want that. We want that. So we can eventually live in this world
The way I understand this, ego is the sense of "I" in the same way that "deja vu" is the sense of "I already lived this moment", I mean, a sense, an illusion, a software that is useful for survival in this stage of life, but it is too a big problem and a potential threat to the whole human raze. Ego is what generates fear. Once ego is dissolved there's no fear anymore.
I remember my Dad trying (and failing) to discourage me from psychedelics. "The things you see in your head, they're not real, why would you want to see that" Because Dad, I think they're actually more real than anything in this fabricated society, and I only wish that more people would open their minds and see the true light of nature and divinity 🙏❤️
Drugs that alter one's conciseness are for those who need a crutch and have an inability to confront and control their minds and actions and environment. Psychedelics even what is called micro-dosing today is a bandage at best as with most drugs like this even if you keep the dose the same the effect can be drastically different and vary in intensity from one to the next.
@GothGuy666 Wrong I have ! and My girlfriend lost a dear friend to suicide from Psychedelic Psilocybin. It's not always the high that's the problem but the coming down or off the drug, believe me, I know. I can just imagine the potential of micro-dosing and one day coming down or off the Psilocybin and the unpredictable "FATAL" depression that could set in, especially for one trying to cope with depression already, it's like playing Russian roulette. All psychedelics are unpredictable, Good Luck.
Yes, Michael Pollan is a remarkably lucid speaker, and forever delving into life’s most necessary & urgent topics . Grateful for his work, and Bioneers.
Mirror work is one of my favorite activities, my face infinitely swirling, feeling that I'm not just one living thing, but seeing that I'm a collection of many smaller things living in harmony
I looked in thhthe mirror while on lsd and saw the face of Adolf Hitler. Much later i heard that that house had been used by te Nazi´s for interrogation during their occupation of Europe. In the same house, I did a small experiment: I was not drinking any alcohol then, but my boss had given me a bottle of sherry and 2 glasses for a job well done. So i sat, meditated, and asked a question: what is alcohol? Then i drank 2 small glasses of sherry and lay down. About 10 minutes later a carpet of all black inscts, spider like, entered the room and crawled towards me. Terrifying. I knew it was a hallucination but could do nothing to stop it. I could not utter any sound.Paralised with fear. That was 45 years ago. Mind is a strange and tricky place. Nowadays, i just shift focus and enter the Transcendent anytime. No need for any drugs.
@@sandrastreifel6452 "those natural substances do aid and improve your meditations".This may be true for some, and not so much for others. In the end, even Terence McKenna did not make a lot of improvement compared to Ram Das. With all his knowledge and experience, he still was trapped in the mind. I see Psycheldelic users who have blown up ego´s and think they are so great, but actually horrible people. Psyechedelics, if used correctly, may give some insight using it once or twice, and stimulate to start meditation, but i also see, that it becomes a hindrance once the level of psycvhedelics is reached "naturally", via meditation. The ego strikes back at such a point, and all advance disappears because the "body-memory" triggers the ego back into action. And then it is much harder to get rid of. Psychedelics do nothing to evaporate the ego.
“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us.” ― St. Antony the Great
I also met the creator. I recognized it as my father(masculine). I dissolved into the universe like water into dry dirt. Complete unity with the all that is. At this moment I consider it my most important experience.
very droll Personally, and sincerely I say that we both know nothing at all. I was shown visually, and spoken to linguistically, but most importantly noticed that love is all that matters in the end. I wish you the best of it all my friend✌️😁
@@shotgunbilly4150 Im debating of getting ahold of maybe 5 or 6g and doing the samething. I need think some shit over. Did you just do it at home or did you go somewhere in the woods?
i feel like psychedelics should be called sociatives because they are kind of the opposite of dissociatives in the sense that they connect your senses instead of unplugging you from them.
Brain dead drug abuser talking to himself. I thought you should know that this statement makes no sense to anyone but yourself. Stop frying your brain and maybe one day you'll be able to write a coherent sentence.
Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression. The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself.
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful, it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues.
My experience with ayahuasca was like this, I became blades of grass, mountain soil, and so many other things. The most profound experiences I’ve ever had.
Thank you for that wonderful speach! I've had my LSD-experience fifty years ago. Now I am in meditation and yoga. In my experience, Sadhguru is a very good guide to life and to integrate psychedelic experience. Gardening also works.
My experiences have always thus far reminded me of our symbiotic relationship with not only the vast universe but everything around us . Thank you for this thoughtful message 🙏🏼
I think these tools are amazing. When I first tripped on mushrooms I was very anxious and started to get the sweats as you do. Then all of a sudden I felt powerful jolts of joy and love running through me all throughout my body, I then felt guilty that I felt soooo good and wished the same for everyone. After this I cried with happiness for a while, as if my body needed to release built up tension through crying which then put me at massive ease. Later when things were starting to wear off I had this urge to text my friends and family and connect with people to share the love. Such a fascinating substance, and I believe the mushrooms give you what you need not what you want. I feel it left me a stronger person mentally.
Same here. When I did shrooms I wanted to hug everyone in my family. Tell everyone I loved them… however my trip turned sour and made me feel extremely alone towards the end
Yep, ancient cultures have known about it for thousands of years, Psilocybin mushrooms, Peyote, Ayuahasca etc... only now is it starting to become more accepted
I will recommend you to this online specialist who helped in guiding me through my first experience, they sell and ship all sorts of psychedelics and psilocybin products, discreetly check them out...
I feel like, especially these days, everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful/intentional therapeutic use of substances like these.
Psychedelics helped me a lot, they are the reason why i didn't take my life when I was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, l'm doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
It absolutely is, but it's recommended to only do it 3 days in a row, take one day off, and then repeat. This way, your tolerance will have less time to develop as the psychoactive substances accumulate in your body to help ease your nerves
I'm tripping on shrooms now and I highly vouch what he's saying 😃! Thank you shrooms for helping me so much I owe my life to them! Good vibes to you all during the quarantine! ❤🍄✌🔮🌌🥳
When i dropped 500ug of lsd a couple of days ago I had the complete experience of dying (in my head if course). And that made me realize that it is both okay to die, but also that I didn't want to die. The whole experience really brought perspective and a newfound joy into my life. I don't regret taking psychedelics, and it definitely won't be my last time!
👆.👆.👆look up that handle, he ships worldwide , and he got>>shrooms, Dmt, lsd, mmda, kat , psilocybin, Xanax, chocolate bars, he's got alot.🍄💊🍄🍫🔌 .... ....
21:13 I love to look in the mirror while I'm on psychedelics... I feel like I'm looking deep into all of my lifetimes as I change right before my eyes...
Duumek kk The way i see his comment is that prior to using psychedelics, he was too caught up with the material/superficial world See, when you get psychedelic experiences, you start to see things as they really are and start to pick up on subtleties Hence why i said that if you fail to see the nuance, that you were probably yourself still “addicted to reality” implying that your conditioning still makes you see things from the “material/superficial” perspective that just blocks you from seeing things from another optics Does that make any sense or am i sounding way too much pseudo intellectual?
I tried psychedelics in the form of shrooms also with some really strong weed and alcohol together. And needless to say the trip itself did not go well. However I think it was the catalyst to coming out a changed man. Afterwards i realized I was a very unhappy individual and there was a lot of dark shit buried deep within my sub-conscience. Things ive always thought if i said or expressed out loud people would hate me. My one friend who was with me while i was tripping out stood by me and to this day is probably my closest friend. Needless to say, ive come out a changed man. In 3 months I’ve eliminated all of my people-pleasing tendencies, ive sought professional help for something that happened to me in my childhood, started a new career, I even started dating. I probably won’t go out of my way to try it again but that experience has made a lot of things that i thought were impossible, VERY easy today.
Mushrooms are meant to be taken with respect. Mixing a dirty addictive drug with it like alcohol defeats the entire purpose. Making your experience not as beneficial. Psilocybin demands respect or else it will not respect you.
I can relate because my first microdose did not go well. I, too, attribute it likely to be the result of having too much "stuff" in my past that I lug around every day. I was going to not take it again but with this realization, I thought I should give it another go. Hopefully, I will find similar success.
Mixing can make a trip go wrong. Weed amplifies any paranoia, alcohol affects your thinking. I definitely drink and smoke but I’m telling you there’s something special about doing a “clean” mushroom trip. Mixing can make it go weird
One possible way to answer the final question of how do we democratise this knowledge is suggested by his sitter Mary i.e. it might be a good idea to have Meditation as a core subject in preschool/primary/infant schools?
I just experienced my first “bad trip”, i induced an anxiety attack about specific things troubling me in life, i came to the realization that my anxiety was about hypothetical situations that may not even happen, my overwhelming visuals were halted and all i could feel in myself was pure light and love. I had solved the biggest thing troubling me in life with the help of LSD. I can honestly say that this drug has cured my anxiety and depression about my future, my life seems so bright ahead of me. I wish all of you luck in finding your own way❤️
Come back to this comment within a year, to see if it still applies. I don't believe a trip can clinically 'cure' anything to be honest. When you have scientific evidence besides some random fMRI scan of the same single brain on acid. BTW feeling sad isn't the same as depression, if you didn't know that already. If you go to a psychiatrist or doctor and he gives you a diagnosis, you can call tell me you suffered from a major depressive disorder. Depression is a lifelong illness, if you've had 3 depressive episodes, the chance of having a next one in the near or further future is almost certain.
Hopefully this works for you. It's possible to get a mental breakthrough with or without pychedelics. I do recall everything was so beautiful when I was stoned, and so dismal when I came down.
@@kjell159: There’s compelling scientific evidence of long-lasting improvement for people with PTSD, Major Mood Disorders resistant to other treatment, and those in end of life care. Depression isn’t just sadness; anxiety isn’t just feeling nervous, but psychedelic-assisted-therapy has a very different mechanism of action from antidepressant medication, or from ECT. Those are essential medical care, but psychedelics are, too!
I had an amazing experience on mushrooms looking in the mirror, saw how I’d been living like I was on an island, meaning I didn’t allow anyone to help me and never let anyone see my raw emotion. I saw how it was effecting the people in my life. I also saw where I made up that I had to be that way and was able to let it go. It was amazing! I did have a guide sitting with me while doing this.
Hello Tiera. I was wondering if you could give me some information on the "guide" part? Was this just some friend that had psychedelic experience and was willing to assist? Or was it something you could pay or sign up for? I've had very deep depression and suicidal thoughts for a few years but I recently have been taking massive strides in controlling things and I would like to revisit psilocybin but with a GUIDED trip instead of the random nature of my few brief experiences I had in college. Basically I would just like to know how you find a guide if this sort of thing is a systematic process. Thanks a ton for reading.
@@sandrastreifel6452 Your insight whilst looking in a mirror is both revealing and has transformed the way you see yourself in relation to others. You broke through the barriers of your perception and that's excellent because you now have a new perspective on yourself. Well done and keep up the introspection, it will lead you to more openings in your psyche and a deeper connection with reality.
Any classics experts still around? I cannot find a Bach Cello Suite in G Minor, just one in G Major. It fits the desciption very well. Does anybody know if Michael just got a tiny detail wrong here or can you point me to the Suite he might have meant?
***I can refer you to this dude who I met online who guided me through my first ever dmt experience he's got mushrooms LSD MDMA and other psychedelic he ships discreetly****
Looking in the mirror is a whole different world, you dive in deeper into yourself when you see your face changing in front of your face. Don't be scared people. Its worth it

Great lecture! Once the ego is stripped away we will transcend to our higher selves (our true selves). We must let go to truly experience this life and all of the beauty in it, especially within ourselves.
I owned a book of Micheal Pollan “How to Change Your Mind”. My partner gave it to me and until now I am still amazed. Looking forward for my first psychedelic journey with him this year! 😍😍😍🥰🥰
Love the story so much, first time i got the balls to try it i turned into a blue macaw made of ginger bread and flew through an endless palace made of clear crystal and flew through the refracting rainbow light rays. All while being bundled in a blanket. Keep in mind im claustrophobic to the point where i cant hug for more than 5 seconds. I woke up the next day and could function in small spaces. Not perfectly, still get freaked out but i dont panic instantly. Much happy 😊
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life..I became a better version of myself. This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and a bunch of bad thought/behaviour pattern were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands alot..it gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip. The main reason for the trip was my severe Depression and it definitely helped me. Before all I could do was lay in bed, now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.
Last year, I took shrooms thinking it was going to hit like an edible or something. Shit was scary at first but amazing once you start getting deeper into your thoughts
It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not sadness... Psychedelic are the reason why I didn't take my life when I was at my end.i was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity
I'm tripping on shrooms now and I highly vouch what he's saying 😃! Thank you shrooms for helping me so much I owe my life to them! Good vibes to you all during the quarantine! ❤🍄✌🔮🌌🥳
Some truffles came through the post a few months ago. Shared half with a friend so it was a small dose but still felt something. No intense visuals but I felt some mystical awareness and noticing the way the guitars were propped up at an angle making me think of pyramids from ancient times. My friend said He felt stoned although we were smoking a bit of weed too. Can't wait for the next trip hopefully, it will make lockdown thought as if everything is just fine and humanity's future is gonna be just fine.❤
I had mushrooms once many years ago, but all I can remember is that I couldn't walk up the stairs, I had to crawl up them. It felt similar to couch lock after having cannabis. After hearing these talks I'd like to try them again, but I really don't like the feeling of couch lock, and I didn't have any insights or anything. Maybe micro dosing would be better?
I hope that there are a lot of young people watching this because people like Michael Pollan are getting up in their years and I'm hoping that a new generation is out there ready for the miracle time when you can start working with psychedelics again.
I completely agree with you on young people learning about the benefits of psilocybin. I have personally done only Psilocybe Cubensis Mushrooms and Peyote, two completely different experiences altogether but I want Young people to learn how to do it responsibly and not as a "party drug".

I don't know about telepathic, but it certainly wouldn't hurt for us to all feel a sense of connection with not only each other, but with the world around us as well. That could very well lead to a very large shift in the way humans deal with conflict. We have a very long way to go in terms of breaking down the stigma that surrounds psychedelics. That negative influence alone could throw somebody into a terrifying negative experience, so it should only be done by those who do not fear what they have to offer. Hopefully we can end the stigma.
I had different experiences with ayahuasca and when I was listening to Mr. Pollan I thought that those experiences are so similar . Thanks for this amazing video. ❤🙏🏻love.
You don't need any psychedelics just sit in a dark room for 1 week The key mechanism starts with melatonin, which is created in the brain by converting tryptophan into serotonin, which is then converted into serotonin. There needs to be enough tryptophan in the body through diet. Then, the melatonin builds up over the course of the next few days. It builds up at the rate of 2-5mg per day which then tapers off at 15-20mg. The body then recognizes that melatonin is no longer needed and begins producing pinoline, 5-MeO-DMT, and DMT. THis part of the process takes about 3 days. Pinolene is released within the pineal gland (as all these compounds are) and produce “the light show” that is commonly seen in many psychedelics. The DMT and 5-MeO-DMT is a key part of the therapy. During this point, “ego death” can be experienced with an increase in “beingness”. During days 6-8, 5-MeO-DMT (which is normally only found in the womb and in the first few months) is now reactivated. Around day 9-12, there is enough mono amine oxidase inhibition from the pinoline secretion to allow the melatonin cycle to be intercepted by adrenaline and ephedrine activity to be converted into a DMT serotonin pathway. The DMT levels reach above 25mg which allows the body to transcend into “hyperspace” or the DMT realm. So you can have the same Tripp without the drug itself.
Talkedkestrel the chem all makes sense, but can you elaborate on what you mean by dark room? Pitch black? Dark in general? Dim lights? Meals, bathroom, etc... thanks!
Nope. Declaration of Independence, but not in the Constitution, or any legal document thereafter. Fact is we are sorely missing any legal right to cognitive freedom. It's tragic.
@@squirlmy So true. And The UK followed the US by finally banning magic mushrooms in 2004. Forty years after the US. That's still a mystery to me. Forty years with no damage done? Then they ban it. I was picking them legally in the eighties. Very odd.
A couple of years ago I was in a big black hole with drugs . I tried once LSD and from that day I stopped everything I literally traveled inside myself and what I saw was terrible and beautiful.
I have to say that psilocybin and LSD are completely unique substances. I, as a clinical psychologist, never interested in Yoga in my life until the event I took huge dose of psilocybin. During the trip I somehow "remembered" how to perform Yoga. The first time in my life I performed Yoga for over an hour in a park while under the effect of psilocybin. This miracle happened 5 months ago but also I had so hard time comprehending what's going on really. After a long consideration I started to upload on UA-cam (I am still very amateur but whenever I take psychedelics I am able to remember more and more from my past life. )
From my experience as a veteran PSychonaut of over 40+ years there is a marked difference between organic and synthetic forms of psychedelics. Organic forms like Mushrooms, Ayahuasca, Peyote, and san Pedro have a connection to an "other" that is a guiding or interactive presence. Synthetics like LSD do not have this association. There is no "Mother LSD" like there is a "Mother Aya". I would like to see Psilocybin trials using natural Mushrooms instead of synthetics or extractions. I believe that isolating a specific chemical from a Plant Teacher alters the connection and experience. I know that the scientific mind has a delusion about dosage and control, but those with experience know that just a little at times can be a lot. There is a "next step" though to integration and processing; after wringing out the Jungian type associations to the journey-ask yourself "of all the journeys to have/co-create, WHY this one?". This question and the quest if so chosen will really open the Rabbit Holes of your psyche. Also, you need quite a few more journeys than one to really get an appreciation for this! I love Michael and have read his books, but I think he should do more than just dip his toes in.

@@mateocarlos2674 I am with you-but for scientific research they prefer synthetic compounds so they can measure accurately. Since Science does not have an "answer" for Consciousness-it fails to extend the concept to NATURE and recognize that there are "Plant Teachers". Have a Great Day Brother!
Well said. And I agree with your assessments. Lsd helps me do the laundry when I don't feel like it.😂 Sounds ridiculous, but it helps me get over tetious day to day things. Which is actually a big deal for me. Makes me see the value in bothersome things, and softens the edge a bit. And I think it carries over to some extent. And recreationally, it's a good time, reasonably safe, so I'll use it vs. a booze bender, and that's been a life improvement. Cheers!
It is strange that many are afraid to look in the mirror. This is a very cool experience, I looked in the mirror many times using different dosages and it was always a fascinating experience.
27:55 - Oh man. Watch out. As open minded as I am about stuff like this I'm not for giving it to people on the sly. I know you were only joking, though. Everyone has to come to the enlightenment their own way by free choice.
29:59... I'm the most open minded, yes that can be done, kinda person in the world.... but I don't think all the "knowledge" or well thought out words in the world could help someone understand and embody what it's like to do psychedelics. I think you need to experience it. We don't even have language to describe a lot of it... So my answer to your question... at least what I've been doing... is I talk about psychedelics all the time. There will be a "taboo" feel to it, until theres not... and I think information, and brining things to the light is key... so I just keep planting seeds that psychedelics are one of the most profound and life enhancing things I believe anyone can ever do. I also think we all should plant cannabis seeds at EVERY opportunity... anywhere. Anywhere anywhere. I think cannabis growing wild would change everything (and, no, I don't even smoke.. I've just done tons of research on the benefits because I was trying to figure out how to heal my mom... and cannabis came up... over and over and over, and with all types of benefits for people with all types of diseases... Plus you can eat it, and make 10's of thousands of materials from it, including a biodegradable plastic, and we could even replace gasoline with it... and so much more... ) Thanks for the talk, I really enjoyed that 😊🙏🏼💖
I ate a bunch of mushrooms one time and saw a fly get caught on some sticky fly tape it was buzzing so loud it sounded like it was screaming for its life. kinda bummed me out
Amazing talk! I guess the first step to democratize these experiences is by moving psychedelics from schedule 1 to schedule 2 and allow them to be used in psychotherapy to treat depression and anxiety. From then I think things will go their way
Thank you! I'm excited about how psilocybin is going to change the culture of the West. When people take it to end depression/anxiety/addictions, studies show that it decreases authoritarianism. They become more open to new ideas. This is the direction that our country needs to change in. How exciting!!!!!
Just from microdosing .5 gram, this oddly enough seems to be the case. It helped me work out conflict with others, see the perspective from basically a bird looking in. It was about uniting vs revenge and excluding others. I thought, wow if everyone saw it this way….we’d be a highly advanced species. Right now we are just semi average in my book ( some cool things for sure) but lacking potential. AND this meant ME as well, I am not excluded. So I decided to quit my vices and become a productive member in society. If shrooms can do that experience to everyone then we are in for one amazing ride!
*Hey I'll refer you to this specialist who guided me through my experience,he got all kinds of psychedelic stuff and he ships discreetly to any location**∆∆
One point to add about the 'objectification of the other', it is part of the environmental crisis in that workers in general have limited autonomy and are used as objects for maintaing wealth and power of the top of social hierarchy. So, people are not only acting under another 'other's control, they are often doing something for which there is no significant personal meaning. Both worker and owner become mere objects to each other. And capitalism, as long as it presupposes capability for infinite growth, obviously accelerates risks to resources that keep us alive, paradoxical as it may be. I feel like I am stating the obvious, but it came to mind when he spoke of objectification. We kind of get into materialistic loops I think. Connection to the material world is crucial for survival of course, but I think the prevailing societal catalyst of industrial capitalism takes it to a level of excess waste, and it has proven to be too unsustainable to let it keep dominating our motivations and our social and institutional cohesion. Psychedelics I hope can help change hearts and minds. And I don't believe everyone has to take them in order for that to happen. Just passing on the idea that science, and spirituality (or you might just say 'mental health') really are both important - that we can't live purely objective lives, and that wouldn't be fulfilling - starts to open a new conversation and brings spirituality into a new light, that really does have practical value. We wouldn't have a tendency to treat mental illness, or a tendency to want happiness and fulfillment even when not mentally ill, if those feelings weren't beneficial, right?
MetalNick Yes! You are correct about this. I would add that I too was moved to connecting our human condition currently with the way our species objectifies pretty much everything. It makes me wonder if this tendency is at once a crucial defense mechanism for survival and self defense as well as a sort of evolutionary hiccup in terms of us fitting into our ecosystems. Way way back we had a greater cultural connection to the natural world simply because of how our limited technology kept us in touch with it. We had various traditional mythologies and rituals that linked us closely to the rest of life; we had a sort of homeostasis at one point. Then something happened and slowly, exponentially we have refined our egos and disconnection from anything that we perceive as not us, who ever we may be. I think an interesting example of shared oneness that still struggles to exist happens to pregnant women. This is a literal example of one being becoming more than that. This deep connection is essential for survival as well. However there is a constant effort on the part of western medicine, politics, and other societal forces to immediately segregate the mother from the offspring, sometimes at conception in order to maintain control and power over this deep desire to separate and organize everything into categories that ultimately keep us apart and unwell. There is an ego death talked about in birth in many cultures and traditions; that in order to bring a new being into the world the mother must travel to the land of the dead and come back again, or, be alright with the idea that she may not. And that is seen as the pivotal moment in the act of giving birth. I know that I took this in a much different direction than yourself but it is something we all go through and we can see the deep emotions that revolve around this issue the world over. Control versus acceptance, bonding versus alienation from the body. Religions built upon the denigration and mistrust of this process. Anyway it’s awesome people are validating this important experience and advocating for the renewed social acceptance of this amazing ability of ours. 🦋❤️🐝
If you didnt rethink your entire being when you were tripping, then you didnt trip hard enough. Almost every time ive taken mushrooms, it has made me take a cold hard look at who i really was, what i was really doing. Who i was affecting. Things i needed to change. It was a huge “self check” on the ego. Every time i trip, i shed layers of my ego. Also purging is a good thing. It is the soul shedding the body of many demons. The feeling of relief and weight off my chest was absolutely exhilerating.
Purging like throwing up after you gorge on food can be good if in fact you don't gorge on more food to. Keep throwing it up , ! This means your brain is on pause ,you're not paying attention, ,you know what's best but won't listen to those good messages because your too busy trying to REPENT

I love the mirror but I am experienced. It isn't for noobs. If your looking for the next level the mirror can be a new experience but have your guide help you away from it after a reasonable time or you can get stuck. You must have a powerful mind to do this though.
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
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. They drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quit illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had become medically dangerous to quit.
My crippling insecurity that was caused by emotional abuse in my childhood got cured on taking 5grams and also dramatically reduced the severity of my PTSD and uncovered very many repressed emotions I had

I actually emailed Michael Pollan and he responded to me, wasn't a full on conversation, but I still really appreciated that he took the time out to respond to me after reading my rather long winded message.
Simple summary: you are a spirit having human experience. Your conscious core self is hidden under the shell of ego(unconscious self). You always thought and identified yourself as your ego, with its illusions. Lsd or shrooms makes your ego dissolve. Spirit self will emerge. You don't have a soul. You are a soul. This is what emerges. You won't understand it. You will experience it. Human thinking mind can't compherend the awareness (spirt) But you can be it. You can be yourself.
The first time I ever heard of Pollan was today on NPR. On the same day watching a interview with Maynard from Tool.. this was a suggestion. Thank you Universe🤘❤
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.
My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.

I tried golden teachers for the first time, and it was an amazing experience.
I was diagnosed with Depression and ADHD several years ago. I was prescribed Venlafaxine for the depression and Methylphenidate for the ADHD. Unfortunately, the Venlafaxine didn’t work for me. Later, I learned about *mycotask* and their approach to using psychedelic mushrooms as a treatment for depression. I decided to try a mild-to-medium dose of psilocybin. Initially, it was intended for a recreational trial, but I noticed a significant improvement in my mental well-being for several weeks afterward. I felt happier, more in control of my emotions, and my social anxiety disappeared, all from just one experience!

As a teen with social anxiety -- even among my own family members -- I drank some psilocybin tea. Afterward, during a conversation with my mother, I felt a calm come over me and that a veil had been lifted. At that moment there was no anxiety. My normally buzzing mind was silent and it seemed that I could see and think clearly. Normally feeling unsure of myself, I experience a period of feeling confident that everything was going to be alright.
What happened after that? Did you continue to use?

By the way ;"yes,You can look in the mirror on mushrooms" I have done it during one of my trips...I was kind of scared to do that because of stories I have heard:What if I see something horrifying??? So,very slowly and carefully I have gazed myself on the mirror and wawww ....I was soooo beautiful ;my God I didn't know how beautiful I was until then...There was nothing to be afraid of...Everything was beautiful and so did I...So I say do not condition yourself and give yourself a chance to see how beautiful You truly are...
Send me the mushrooms.
Felt the same way when I experienced it after ego death.
I wish! I've done it many times and it doesn't last long before I have to look away. A few times it has been quite scary, most other times I'm just uncomfortable seeing myself as unfamiliar.
Aisha Lila I don't like looking in the mirror on shrooms, not so good
@@NabilBreda I would advise against looking in the mirror
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporesss
Psychedelics in general have done what hundreds of hours of PTSD therapy couldn't. I went from being on 31 pill daily for mental states to 0 over the course of 13 weeks. Like everything in the world.
It's not for everyone and experiences will certainly vary. Me and my friends approached it from a lens of healing and learning and it's exactly what we got out of it.
The one time I had a bad trip, ended up being a great learning experience. I took some shrooms, called ALL of my friends. They sounded excited when I told them I was on shrooms. Inevitably they would ask if they came over they could have some. I didn't have any extra, then they would say, "Oh I can't trip sit with you I'm busy". This hit me deep in the feels, causing a bad trip. So I asked myself why I had sooooo many shitty "friends". The answer? "You're a druggy and so are they. You're pretty shitty too.
You're a loser. Move away from your toxic home town and stop doing drugs". Felt excited and happy after getting this answer. I moved that same week. Best decision of my life.
Macro vs Micro
had success in doing a few Macro first. Allowing the mushrooms to blast you into self awareness, showing you the shadows and trauma that have been hiding under the rug. Micro dosing has helped me stay on the pulse of my shadow work, helping me remember my best self.

@stellascott2095allude to where
People with depression proceed with caution.
I suffered from extreme depression and ptsd from a accident that left me burned and disfigured.
I struggled with depression for years but never suicidal.
I tried a mushroom trip as a last resort to cure my depression and what happened scared me!
The trip made me comfortable with the thought of death. Almost made me think that suicide wouldn’t be so bad, it’s ok to die.
These thoughts scared me to no end!
I didn’t have these thoughts before the trip.
Luckily I spoke with my wife throughout this process and together we worked it out.
Later on a tried micro dosing which ultimately I believed truly helped me.
The micro dosing made me more open and I was able to lay it all out and work thru things with my wife to help guide me.
So just a word of caution.
And please let your loved ones know what you are doing so they can offer help if needed.
Isn't being scared of those thoughts a sign it made you realize that you didn't want to die?
The real fear is in living... when you got to that place in your head where you didn’t fear death is where it would have been helpful to have someone guide you through and back to how it relates to living and go into that in the trip. 🤟
I was once worried that I might be a psychopath. I told this to my counselor and she said, "I definitely know you're not a psychopath." I asked her how she knew. "A psychopath wouldn't be worried about it. A psychopath wouldn't care." I dont know if that conveys what I'm trying to say, but what I'm getting at is perhaps being scared of being ok with suicide is a good thing... depression is like a living death and a lot of our thoughts while depressed are like being ok with dying like that. So perhaps that is the lesson. Well...I think I really shit the bed on that one and i dont think what I said makes any sense, but I hope you know what I mean. Being scared of beingnok with death is like being afraid of death which, for a person with a wonderful wife etc is a good thing. Kicks your ass into appreciating life.
Well i mean the suicide part probably is your utilitarian logical male energy interpreting the new information of “death is ok” and yes, i believe that deat actually is ok although i’m scared of it (also ok) and wouldn’t pre maturely inflict in on myself.

@@ThetennisDr Doesn't 4 aco dmt convert to psilocin in the body?

@@l.p.5499 They are completly different. I have been a heavy weed smoker for 4 years and recently gotten into psychedelics and there is a huge difference. it will help disolve your fears and PTSD with the right mindset that you want to. But not comparable at all for what you get out of it.
@@bradleymyers Well, another question I have is, will it make you all panicky and freaking out and stuff like that. The reason why I ask is because if I smoke pot it makes me freak out and think I'm dying. I don't know, my brain is probably just messed up.
@@l.p.5499
Marijuana makes a lot of people paranoid. (You're not weird.)
I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking mushrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD managed , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
I have autism, I was diagnosed with it when I was 15. I tried shrooms and it made me function so much better.

In my opinion, the giant knot is fear. When fear is diminished, so is the ego.
wise
@Mike Knight It is human to fear death but those cancer patients Pollan told us had the most logical reason to even fear not so distant death. Howerver, by dissolving their ego with high-dose psilocybin, their fear disappeared to nothingness. I do really want that. We want that. So we can eventually live in this world
Glenn Reggie I could see what I would look like as an old man (I was about 18)
A world without fear is a world without hate
The way I understand this, ego is the sense of "I" in the same way that "deja vu" is the sense of "I already lived this moment", I mean, a sense, an illusion, a software that is useful for survival in this stage of life, but it is too a big problem and a potential threat to the whole human raze.
Ego is what generates fear. Once ego is dissolved there's no fear anymore.
Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.
Does anyone know where I can source them?

I remember my Dad trying (and failing) to discourage me from psychedelics. "The things you see in your head, they're not real, why would you want to see that"
Because Dad, I think they're actually more real than anything in this fabricated society, and I only wish that more people would open their minds and see the true light of nature and divinity 🙏❤️
Bruh wtf are u talking about this is reality lolol tf u mean fabricated society
Drugs that alter one's conciseness are for those who need a crutch and have an inability to confront and control their minds and actions and environment. Psychedelics even what is called micro-dosing today is a bandage at best as with most drugs like this even if you keep the dose the same the effect can be drastically different and vary in intensity from one to the next.
Mark, that was beautiful my friend.
@GothGuy666 Wrong I have ! and My girlfriend lost a dear friend to suicide from Psychedelic Psilocybin. It's not always the high that's the problem but the coming down or off the drug, believe me, I know. I can just imagine the potential of micro-dosing and one day coming down or off the Psilocybin and the unpredictable "FATAL" depression that could set in, especially for one trying to cope with depression already, it's like playing Russian roulette. All psychedelics are unpredictable, Good Luck.

Travis Evans yes I agree, looking in the mirror isn’t all that scary
I looked in thhthe mirror while on lsd and saw the face of Adolf Hitler.
Much later i heard that that house had been used by te Nazi´s for interrogation during their occupation of Europe.
In the same house,
I did a small experiment: I was not drinking any alcohol then, but my boss had given me a bottle of sherry and 2 glasses for a job well done. So i sat, meditated, and asked a question: what is alcohol? Then i drank 2 small glasses of sherry and lay down.
About 10 minutes later a carpet of all black inscts, spider like, entered the room and crawled towards me. Terrifying. I knew it was a hallucination but could do nothing to stop it. I could not utter any sound.Paralised with fear.
That was 45 years ago. Mind is a strange and tricky place.
Nowadays, i just shift focus and enter the Transcendent anytime. No need for any drugs.
@@gammaraygem: Meditation, along with, or after psychedelics is extremely valuable and those natural substances do aid and improve your meditations.
@@sandrastreifel6452 "those natural substances do aid and improve your meditations".This may be true for some, and not so much for others. In the end, even Terence McKenna did not make a lot of improvement compared to Ram Das.
With all his knowledge and experience, he still was trapped in the mind.
I see Psycheldelic users who have blown up ego´s and think they are so great, but actually horrible people.
Psyechedelics, if used correctly, may give some insight using it once or twice, and stimulate to start meditation, but i also see, that it becomes a hindrance once the level of psycvhedelics is reached "naturally", via meditation. The ego strikes back at such a point, and all advance disappears because the "body-memory" triggers the ego back into action. And then it is much harder to get rid of.
Psychedelics do nothing to evaporate the ego.

i feel like psychedelics should be called sociatives because they are kind of the opposite of dissociatives in the sense that they connect your senses instead of unplugging you from them.

I think these tools are amazing. When I first tripped on mushrooms I was very anxious and started to get the sweats as you do. Then all of a sudden I felt powerful jolts of joy and love running through me all throughout my body, I then felt guilty that I felt soooo good and wished the same for everyone. After this I cried with happiness for a while, as if my body needed to release built up tension through crying which then put me at massive ease. Later when things were starting to wear off I had this urge to text my friends and family and connect with people to share the love. Such a fascinating substance, and I believe the mushrooms give you what you need not what you want. I feel it left me a stronger person mentally.
Same here. When I did shrooms I wanted to hug everyone in my family. Tell everyone I loved them… however my trip turned sour and made me feel extremely alone towards the end
On the same journey as we speak thanks for putting it in words

Wonderful book! We have to safe the Earth right now. Everybody should make a «trip» in the nature!
If only!
Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, they really helped me.
I feel like, especially these days, everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful/intentional therapeutic use of substances like these.
Psychedelics helped me a lot, they are the reason why i didn't take my life when I was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, l'm doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
I’ve been struggling with anxiety for years, until I met cole.shroom, a good mycologist.
@Christian 23 yes @cole.shroom
Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist who will teach you the right things you need to know.
Micro dosing is very helpful for PTSD and depression. So yes it's ok to do shrooms everyday. Just a tiny bit.
Cris Brackett yeah, but he clearly means enough to produce a noticeable psychotropic effect
@Williamhaney86 thank you for your duty and service🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
It absolutely is, but it's recommended to only do it 3 days in a row, take one day off, and then repeat. This way, your tolerance will have less time to develop as the psychoactive substances accumulate in your body to help ease your nerves
Ketamine clinic is available.
I'm tripping on shrooms now and I highly vouch what he's saying 😃! Thank you shrooms for helping me so much I owe my life to them! Good vibes to you all during the quarantine! ❤🍄✌🔮🌌🥳
What type of meditation is good to do between trips? Is TM good enough or is better to do a different type of meditation?
When i dropped 500ug of lsd a couple of days ago I had the complete experience of dying (in my head if course). And that made me realize that it is both okay to die, but also that I didn't want to die. The whole experience really brought perspective and a newfound joy into my life. I don't regret taking psychedelics, and it definitely won't be my last time!
Love that me too I cane back so happy with everything in my life so thankful for being me.

21:13 I love to look in the mirror while I'm on psychedelics... I feel like I'm looking deep into all of my lifetimes as I change right before my eyes...
Thanks to hallucinogens I was able to quit my addiction to reality.
Addiction to reality? you were addicted to reality?
Duumek kk that is what he said. u can read right?
Duumek kk
If you fail to see the clever nuance he tried to make then you’re probably addicted to reality yourself
@@ImKevinFTW probably you're right. I didn't tried to insult anyone just was curious what he meant.
Duumek kk
The way i see his comment is that prior to using psychedelics, he was too caught up with the material/superficial world
See, when you get psychedelic experiences, you start to see things as they really are and start to pick up on subtleties
Hence why i said that if you fail to see the nuance, that you were probably yourself still “addicted to reality” implying that your conditioning still makes you see things from the “material/superficial” perspective that just blocks you from seeing things from another optics
Does that make any sense or am i sounding way too much pseudo intellectual?
I tried psychedelics in the form of shrooms also with some really strong weed and alcohol together. And needless to say the trip itself did not go well. However I think it was the catalyst to coming out a changed man. Afterwards i realized I was a very unhappy individual and there was a lot of dark shit buried deep within my sub-conscience. Things ive always thought if i said or expressed out loud people would hate me. My one friend who was with me while i was tripping out stood by me and to this day is probably my closest friend. Needless to say, ive come out a changed man. In 3 months I’ve eliminated all of my people-pleasing tendencies, ive sought professional help for something that happened to me in my childhood, started a new career, I even started dating. I probably won’t go out of my way to try it again but that experience has made a lot of things that i thought were impossible, VERY easy today.
Mushrooms are meant to be taken with respect. Mixing a dirty addictive drug with it like alcohol defeats the entire purpose. Making your experience not as beneficial. Psilocybin demands respect or else it will not respect you.
I can relate because my first microdose did not go well. I, too, attribute it likely to be the result of having too much "stuff" in my past that I lug around every day. I was going to not take it again but with this realization, I thought I should give it another go. Hopefully, I will find similar success.
Mixing can make a trip go wrong. Weed amplifies any paranoia, alcohol affects your thinking. I definitely drink and smoke but I’m telling you there’s something special about doing a “clean” mushroom trip. Mixing can make it go weird
One possible way to answer the final question of how do we democratise this knowledge is suggested by his sitter Mary i.e. it might be a good idea to have Meditation as a core subject in preschool/primary/infant schools?
Im looking for safe dosage....
Such a positive, articulate presentation on the potential of psychedelics - I love Pollan's matter-of-fact style and humor
I just experienced my first “bad trip”, i induced an anxiety attack about specific things troubling me in life, i came to the realization that my anxiety was about hypothetical situations that may not even happen, my overwhelming visuals were halted and all i could feel in myself was pure light and love. I had solved the biggest thing troubling me in life with the help of LSD. I can honestly say that this drug has cured my anxiety and depression about my future, my life seems so bright ahead of me. I wish all of you luck in finding your own way❤️
Come back to this comment within a year, to see if it still applies.
I don't believe a trip can clinically 'cure' anything to be honest. When you have scientific evidence besides some random fMRI scan of the same single brain on acid.
BTW feeling sad isn't the same as depression, if you didn't know that already. If you go to a psychiatrist or doctor and he gives you a diagnosis, you can call tell me you suffered from a major depressive disorder.
Depression is a lifelong illness, if you've had 3 depressive episodes, the chance of having a next one in the near or further future is almost certain.
What about anxiety ?
Hopefully this works for you. It's possible to get a mental breakthrough with or without pychedelics. I do recall everything was so beautiful when I was stoned, and so dismal when I came down.
@@kjell159: There’s compelling scientific evidence of long-lasting improvement for people with PTSD, Major Mood Disorders resistant to other treatment, and those in end of life care. Depression isn’t just sadness; anxiety isn’t just feeling nervous, but psychedelic-assisted-therapy has a very different mechanism of action from antidepressant medication, or from ECT. Those are essential medical care, but psychedelics are, too!
i hv facing SAD from last 4 years can i also try shroom for this type anxiety 😭
I had an amazing experience on mushrooms looking in the mirror, saw how I’d been living like I was on an island, meaning I didn’t allow anyone to help me and never let anyone see my raw emotion. I saw how it was effecting the people in my life. I also saw where I made up that I had to be that way and was able to let it go. It was amazing! I did have a guide sitting with me while doing this.
Hello Tiera. I was wondering if you could give me some information on the "guide" part? Was this just some friend that had psychedelic experience and was willing to assist? Or was it something you could pay or sign up for? I've had very deep depression and suicidal thoughts for a few years but I recently have been taking massive strides in controlling things and I would like to revisit psilocybin but with a GUIDED trip instead of the random nature of my few brief experiences I had in college.
Basically I would just like to know how you find a guide if this sort of thing is a systematic process. Thanks a ton for reading.
Yet - did this event have an influence on your life/living since then on ?
I must look in the mirror, next time I trip!
@@sandrastreifel6452 Your insight whilst looking in a mirror is both revealing and has transformed the way you see yourself in relation to others. You broke through the barriers of your perception and that's excellent because you now have a new perspective on yourself. Well done and keep up the introspection, it will lead you to more openings in your psyche and a deeper connection with reality.
Well i have a feeling that i would have a similar trip as you. Now im interested to try it

Love the story so much, first time i got the balls to try it i turned into a blue macaw made of ginger bread and flew through an endless palace made of clear crystal and flew through the refracting rainbow light rays. All while being bundled in a blanket. Keep in mind im claustrophobic to the point where i cant hug for more than 5 seconds. I woke up the next day and could function in small spaces. Not perfectly, still get freaked out but i dont panic instantly. Much happy 😊

Alter, du hast das so gut auf den Punkt gebracht! Dankeschön!
Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to get them, anyone?
doc.jeanne is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Yessss
I just had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great! I loved it.
Explaining the feeling of shrooms is literally impossible, until you try them yourself.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life..I became a better version of myself.
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and a bunch of bad thought/behaviour pattern were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands alot..it gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip. The main reason for the trip was my severe Depression and it definitely helped me. Before all I could do was lay in bed, now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.
Last year, I took shrooms thinking it was going to hit like an edible or something. Shit was scary at first but amazing once you start getting deeper into your thoughts
It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not sadness... Psychedelic are the reason why I didn't take my life when I was at my end.i was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity
Psychedelic’s have ways to deal with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, but it’s just so hard to source here
I've been having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress..not until I came across Myco_louiis.. he really helped me!

@@harryjoyce95 yooo
One love bro! Stay down?
started microdosing now I feel like all my fears have dissipated 😱
Some truffles came through the post a few months ago. Shared half with a friend so it was a small dose but still felt something. No intense visuals but I felt some mystical awareness and noticing the way the guitars were propped up at an angle making me think of pyramids from ancient times. My friend said He felt stoned although we were smoking a bit of weed too. Can't wait for the next trip hopefully, it will make lockdown thought as if everything is just fine and humanity's future is gonna be just fine.❤
10:20 , its weird how that room was alreaddy quite , but at 10:25 it went even more quite somehow
I had mushrooms once many years ago, but all I can remember is that I couldn't walk up the stairs, I had to crawl up them. It felt similar to couch lock after having cannabis. After hearing these talks I'd like to try them again, but I really don't like the feeling of couch lock, and I didn't have any insights or anything. Maybe micro dosing would be better?
Start with 1 gram. Then 2
I hope that there are a lot of young people watching this because people like Michael Pollan are getting up in their years and I'm hoping that a new generation is out there ready for the miracle time when you can start working with psychedelics again.

How do we use this to evolve into a telepathic species?
Idk but getting everyone tripping sounds like a good place to start
I don't know about telepathic, but it certainly wouldn't hurt for us to all feel a sense of connection with not only each other, but with the world around us as well. That could very well lead to a very large shift in the way humans deal with conflict. We have a very long way to go in terms of breaking down the stigma that surrounds psychedelics. That negative influence alone could throw somebody into a terrifying negative experience, so it should only be done by those who do not fear what they have to offer. Hopefully we can end the stigma.
I had different experiences with ayahuasca and when I was listening to Mr. Pollan I thought that those experiences are so similar . Thanks for this amazing video. ❤🙏🏻love.
You don't need any psychedelics just sit in a dark room for 1 week
The key mechanism starts with melatonin, which is created in the brain by converting tryptophan into serotonin, which is then converted into serotonin. There needs to be enough tryptophan in the body through diet. Then, the melatonin builds up over the course of the next few days. It builds up at the rate of 2-5mg per day which then tapers off at 15-20mg. The body then recognizes that melatonin is no longer needed and begins producing pinoline, 5-MeO-DMT, and DMT. THis part of the process takes about 3 days. Pinolene is released within the pineal gland (as all these compounds are) and produce “the light show” that is commonly seen in many psychedelics.
The DMT and 5-MeO-DMT is a key part of the therapy. During this point, “ego death” can be experienced with an increase in “beingness”. During days 6-8, 5-MeO-DMT (which is normally only found in the womb and in the first few months) is now reactivated. Around day 9-12, there is enough mono amine oxidase inhibition from the pinoline secretion to allow the melatonin cycle to be intercepted by adrenaline and ephedrine activity to be converted into a DMT serotonin pathway. The DMT levels reach above 25mg which allows the body to transcend into “hyperspace” or the DMT realm. So you can have the same Tripp without the drug itself.
Talkedkestrel the chem all makes sense, but can you elaborate on what you mean by dark room? Pitch black? Dark in general? Dim lights? Meals, bathroom, etc... thanks!

Nope. Declaration of Independence, but not in the Constitution, or any legal document thereafter. Fact is we are sorely missing any legal right to cognitive freedom. It's tragic.
@@diggleda2952 In the US? It's all illegal pretty much everywhere. There is far more freedom outside of the US when it comes to psychedelics.
@@squirlmy So true. And The UK followed the US by finally banning magic mushrooms in 2004. Forty years after the US. That's still a mystery to me. Forty years with no damage done? Then they ban it. I was picking them legally in the eighties. Very odd.

I have to say that psilocybin and LSD are completely unique substances. I, as a clinical psychologist, never interested in Yoga in my life until the event I took huge dose of psilocybin. During the trip I somehow "remembered" how to perform Yoga. The first time in my life I performed Yoga for over an hour in a park while under the effect of psilocybin. This miracle happened 5 months ago but also I had so hard time comprehending what's going on really. After a long consideration I started to upload on UA-cam (I am still very amateur but whenever I take psychedelics I am able to remember more and more from my past life. )
I'll refer you to and online store where I got my own psychedelics and microdosing stuff very good reliable vendor

I'm a 62 year old vegan.. What is a cardiologist?
From my experience as a veteran PSychonaut of over 40+ years there is a marked difference between organic and synthetic forms of psychedelics. Organic forms like Mushrooms, Ayahuasca, Peyote, and san Pedro have a connection to an "other" that is a guiding or interactive presence. Synthetics like LSD do not have this association. There is no "Mother LSD" like there is a "Mother Aya". I would like to see Psilocybin trials using natural Mushrooms instead of synthetics or extractions. I believe that isolating a specific chemical from a Plant Teacher alters the connection and experience. I know that the scientific mind has a delusion about dosage and control, but those with experience know that just a little at times can be a lot. There is a "next step" though to integration and processing; after wringing out the Jungian type associations to the journey-ask yourself "of all the journeys to have/co-create, WHY this one?". This question and the quest if so chosen will really open the Rabbit Holes of your psyche. Also, you need quite a few more journeys than one to really get an appreciation for this! I love Michael and have read his books, but I think he should do more than just dip his toes in.

Preferred shrooms to the soul-less harsh LSD.
@@mateocarlos2674 I am with you-but for scientific research they prefer synthetic compounds so they can measure accurately. Since Science does not have an "answer" for Consciousness-it fails to extend the concept to NATURE and recognize that there are "Plant Teachers". Have a Great Day Brother!
Well said. And I agree with your assessments. Lsd helps me do the laundry when I don't feel like it.😂 Sounds ridiculous, but it helps me get over tetious day to day things. Which is actually a big deal for me. Makes me see the value in bothersome things, and softens the edge a bit. And I think it carries over to some extent. And recreationally, it's a good time, reasonably safe, so I'll use it vs. a booze bender, and that's been a life improvement. Cheers!
It is strange that many are afraid to look in the mirror. This is a very cool experience, I looked in the mirror many times using different dosages and it was always a fascinating experience.
27:55 - Oh man. Watch out. As open minded as I am about stuff like this I'm not for giving it to people on the sly. I know you were only joking, though. Everyone has to come to the enlightenment their own way by free choice.
Right. Everyone is on their own ego development path and will arrive at it when they are ready..can’t wait force this.
That sounds like what the CIA did, in their brainwashing “experiments”, project MKUltra! Different purpose, still non-consensual.
29:59... I'm the most open minded, yes that can be done, kinda person in the world.... but I don't think all the "knowledge" or well thought out words in the world could help someone understand and embody what it's like to do psychedelics.
I think you need to experience it. We don't even have language to describe a lot of it...
So my answer to your question... at least what I've been doing... is I talk about psychedelics all the time. There will be a "taboo" feel to it, until theres not... and I think information, and brining things to the light is key... so I just keep planting seeds that psychedelics are one of the most profound and life enhancing things I believe anyone can ever do.
I also think we all should plant cannabis seeds at EVERY opportunity... anywhere. Anywhere anywhere. I think cannabis growing wild would change everything (and, no, I don't even smoke.. I've just done tons of research on the benefits because I was trying to figure out how to heal my mom... and cannabis came up... over and over and over, and with all types of benefits for people with all types of diseases... Plus you can eat it, and make 10's of thousands of materials from it, including a biodegradable plastic, and we could even replace gasoline with it... and so much more... )
Thanks for the talk, I really enjoyed that 😊🙏🏼💖
Can you help me for Avm brain 🧠 what to do
I ate a bunch of mushrooms one time and saw a fly get caught on some sticky fly tape it was buzzing so loud it sounded like it was screaming for its life. kinda bummed me out
LOL reminds me of the acid trip @ 17 where we were laughing our asses off at a fly on the wall... Maybe I need a good laugh again.
Fuck man lol I would've tried to help the lil dude.
Amazing talk! I guess the first step to democratize these experiences is by moving psychedelics from schedule 1 to schedule 2 and allow them to be used in psychotherapy to treat depression and anxiety. From then I think things will go their way
Thank you! I'm excited about how psilocybin is going to change the culture of the West. When people take it to end depression/anxiety/addictions, studies show that it decreases authoritarianism. They become more open to new ideas. This is the direction that our country needs to change in. How exciting!!!!!
Just from microdosing .5 gram, this oddly enough seems to be the case. It helped me work out conflict with others, see the perspective from basically a bird looking in. It was about uniting vs revenge and excluding others. I thought, wow if everyone saw it this way….we’d be a highly advanced species. Right now we are just semi average in my book ( some cool things for sure) but lacking potential. AND this meant ME as well, I am not excluded. So I decided to quit my vices and become a productive member in society. If shrooms can do that experience to everyone then we are in for one amazing ride!

What is the cello suite that he's referring to. MP says Bach cello suite in G minor, but Bach didn't write one in G minor. Anyone?
One point to add about the 'objectification of the other', it is part of the environmental crisis in that workers in general have limited autonomy and are used as objects for maintaing wealth and power of the top of social hierarchy. So, people are not only acting under another 'other's control, they are often doing something for which there is no significant personal meaning. Both worker and owner become mere objects to each other. And capitalism, as long as it presupposes capability for infinite growth, obviously accelerates risks to resources that keep us alive, paradoxical as it may be. I feel like I am stating the obvious, but it came to mind when he spoke of objectification. We kind of get into materialistic loops I think. Connection to the material world is crucial for survival of course, but I think the prevailing societal catalyst of industrial capitalism takes it to a level of excess waste, and it has proven to be too unsustainable to let it keep dominating our motivations and our social and institutional cohesion. Psychedelics I hope can help change hearts and minds. And I don't believe everyone has to take them in order for that to happen. Just passing on the idea that science, and spirituality (or you might just say 'mental health') really are both important - that we can't live purely objective lives, and that wouldn't be fulfilling - starts to open a new conversation and brings spirituality into a new light, that really does have practical value. We wouldn't have a tendency to treat mental illness, or a tendency to want happiness and fulfillment even when not mentally ill, if those feelings weren't beneficial, right?
MetalNick Yes! You are correct about this. I would add that I too was moved to connecting our human condition currently with the way our species objectifies pretty much everything. It makes me wonder if this tendency is at once a crucial defense mechanism for survival and self defense as well as a sort of evolutionary hiccup in terms of us fitting into our ecosystems. Way way back we had a greater cultural connection to the natural world simply because of how our limited technology kept us in touch with it. We had various traditional mythologies and rituals that linked us closely to the rest of life; we had a sort of homeostasis at one point. Then something happened and slowly, exponentially we have refined our egos and disconnection from anything that we perceive as not us, who ever we may be. I think an interesting example of shared oneness that still struggles to exist happens to pregnant women. This is a literal example of one being becoming more than that. This deep connection is essential for survival as well. However there is a constant effort on the part of western medicine, politics, and other societal forces to immediately segregate the mother from the offspring, sometimes at conception in order to maintain control and power over this deep desire to separate and organize everything into categories that ultimately keep us apart and unwell. There is an ego death talked about in birth in many cultures and traditions; that in order to bring a new being into the world the mother must travel to the land of the dead and come back again, or, be alright with the idea that she may not. And that is seen as the pivotal moment in the act of giving birth. I know that I took this in a much different direction than yourself but it is something we all go through and we can see the deep emotions that revolve around this issue the world over. Control versus acceptance, bonding versus alienation from the body. Religions built upon the denigration and mistrust of this process. Anyway it’s awesome people are validating this important experience and advocating for the renewed social acceptance of this amazing ability of ours. 🦋❤️🐝
MetalNick beautifully expressed.
If you didnt rethink your entire being when you were tripping, then you didnt trip hard enough. Almost every time ive taken mushrooms, it has made me take a cold hard look at who i really was, what i was really doing. Who i was affecting. Things i needed to change. It was a huge “self check” on the ego. Every time i trip, i shed layers of my ego. Also purging is a good thing. It is the soul shedding the body of many demons. The feeling of relief and weight off my chest was absolutely exhilerating.

I'm watching this in 2020 and absolutely horrified at the total lack of any social distancing ;)
I actually emailed Michael Pollan and he responded to me, wasn't a full on conversation, but I still really appreciated that he took the time out to respond to me after reading my rather long winded message.
Simple summary: you are a spirit having human experience. Your conscious core self is hidden under the shell of ego(unconscious self). You always thought and identified yourself as your ego, with its illusions. Lsd or shrooms makes your ego dissolve. Spirit self will emerge.
You don't have a soul. You are a soul. This is what emerges.
You won't understand it. You will experience it.
Human thinking mind can't compherend the awareness (spirt)
But you can be it. You can be yourself.
Where can I get mushrooms for ptsd?
The first time I ever heard of Pollan was today on NPR. On the same day watching a interview with Maynard from Tool.. this was a suggestion. Thank you Universe🤘❤
