Oh Jesus dude. Freak this Hollywood Neil Brennan 🐃💩. It's obvious you're looking for purpose brother. All your fans love you and think you're hilarious. You thought it would feel more fulfilling then it does. Stop fighting it Brother. You need a good clean strong woman to settle down with. Otherwise you're just a sad straight man. Chasing his tail
Keep fighting the good fight Theo good call looking within but drugs aren't necessary they're also not necessarily not necessary but things like pcilicyben and lysergsmides such as 1p-lsd lsd ald-52 are going to actually cause a rewiring of brain ie increase dopamine re uptake and seretonin production and bring you closer to the person you want to be where as ketamine is just the same shit as alchohol without the hangover and with some added strangeness it basically loosens us up allows us to dissacociatate from the pain of our experience and reflect differently upon them much like alchohol just more lucid psychedelics explain why it was necessary for us to experience the pain and trviliation and makes us feel like a damn god who's put the path in front of your animated character to complete this game on the highest difficulty ;D
Mushrooms made me kinder. I was an aggressive bully in my friends group growing up, never physically but I liked fucking with people and sometimes went too far if I had the slightest excuse to, even lost friends from just being a callous asshole like my father. I got over a lot of that shit from a few deep personal trips, it still rises up, but I really can just let those thoughts and emotions go a lot easier now.
I was thinking the same thing. There's a lot of people out here hurting and not knowing what to do about it. If ketamine treatment helps you & other influencers in a truly positive way then that can open the doors for similar treatments down the road for us regular folk. Thanks for sharing your story, Theo.
Theo I've tried to text Nick a million times to just ask for a picture of u BRO, ur my man 💪🏼💪🏼. Bro, I'm dying of cancer and I've gone through the same shit u did growing up and dealing with depression and other stuff. I'm desperately trying to find happiness and feel good inside, ull make it 🤘🏼💪🏼💯 GANG GANG CUZ
Hey - I’ve got 29 years sober - don’t let anybody else define your sobriety. I have struggled with depression all my life, being sober help me handle it. But, sometimes medication is necessary. Do what you have to do. Depression kills. Please Stay.
Great advice. Everyone has to find their own path, but do what you have to do to take care of yourself. If you are having problems with depression (dare I say mental health?) and/or substance abuse, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Screw the stigma. You don’t have to fight that battle alone. That notions leads people to suicide and/or overdoses. I see it every day.
That's real talk... Bill Wilson, founder of AA, had to learn the same thing! People told him he wasn't sober anymore because he used psychedelics for spiritual, emotional growth.
Thanks for letting posting this man! Im 1 year clean and sober, and have never been more miserable, lost, depressed, and suicidal in my life. I am currently in an inpatient clinic that will be administering me several doses of ketamine via infusion. Can’t stand those typical NA/AA criticism. Like imagine if you can’t find the motivation to get up and make yourself a meal, or shower daily. And none of the typical antidepressants don’t work. Anyone who judges us can kiss my butt.
@@adriannamatos865 hang I there - it’s not easy. Remember the 12 steps are suggestions, and people may thump the big book, but they are not final judge and jury. If you need medical help get it. Congratulations and hats off for getting a year while fighting the depression monster.
Mad timing for me, had my second breakdown today in a week and called the mental health crisis team, I’m 29, 9 months sober from alcohol and I need help. It is the hardest thing to admit sometimes so many issues from childhood I haven’t dealt with, thank you for this Theo.
You've already taken the first step- admitting you have a problem and need help....much love and support your way, there is help out there you just can't give up. Ever.
it's the deepest dissatisfaction that gives us the emotional charge to activate and remember who we really are...dark night of the soul brother, let it all come up and allow it to be there and be OK... you will get through this and be very grateful on the other side, you're journey is just beginning
I am a dual diagnosis nurse and I also am in recovery. Theo, even though you will have so many people tell you that you are no longer sober(especially us licensed medical professionals and other addicts in recovery). But, WHATEVER you feel you need to make you better- DO IT!!! Every person's recovery and needs are different. I felt/feel those feelings of uncomfort in my own skin. I self medicated like most of us do. I was and am willing to try ANYTHING to make me feel like a "normal " person. It doesn't matter what others think. Only u have to live inside your skin/head. I wish you inner peace
@@RedsBigRig it’s nothing to take lightly, but when your anxiety gets so bad that you become suicidal, what other choices do you have? Best decision I’ve ever made
i will be starting ketamine therapy soon for treatment resistant depression and PTSD and as Theo described the experience, it seems like a full blown intense psychedelic type journey so i’m curious to know if you feel comfortable during the intensity because of the dissociative effects, or did it ever get overwhelming at any point?
Been doing it for a few months. After a while, at least I don't miss it. Tried having a few drinks, started to just not like it. Being sober doesn't make you the fun friend, but it helps you find yourself if you're lost.
This is so true. I lost my brother this past December and it hurts he couldn't get the help he needed. The only thing I can say is cherish your loved ones, take the time to talk, and get help that's available. 🙏✌❤
Jokes aside, people don’t understand drugs. Veterans have used MDMA with therapy to overcome war trauma, faster than anything before. With so much suffering in the world, it’s OK to try what will help, in a supervised professional setting of course. We gotta separate medicinal from recreational use, in our culture.
I agree, except I do believe it can be recreational as well. It is a different experience, hiking by yourself on LSD/mushrooms and then going to a doctor for it. Intention is so important. I sold psychedelics for almost ten years and have tripped more than 500 times, and one thing I learned is that it is perfectly acceptable for the intention to be, "to have fun with my friends". But there does need to be places where you can go in the care of a doctor for mental health reasons. The fact that psychedelics are illegal is one of the things that blows my mind the most, like what the fuck is wrong with the government where they make that a crime? If you haven't tripped, it is nothing like what you think it is. Like, there is a zero percent chance that you even could begin to understand what even happens until you do it. It may not blow your mind spiritually at a low dose, but it is a wonderful thing. And eventually you will have a mystical experience. Which undeniably exists in clinical psychology, and transforms people's lives permanently. I am 100% convinced that psychedelics are where religion even comes from, it is beyond obvious. And honestly I would have never understood spirituality without using ayahuasca. I could have written about it and had some strong opinions, but I didn't even have a clue. There is nothing better that can happen to you in life than a spiritual experience. Happy tripping! If you're scared to get it and do it with friends, I am so excited for you that probably here very soon you can get it from a licensed professional. Because it is not something that's easy to talk about, you can only experience it. It goes so far beyond language that it is literally impossible to describe in words of any language.
@Gas Pack The way I see it, many people wouldn't even use it unless a doctor gave it to them in their care. And if that gets more people to have this experience, then good. That's really all it boils down to. The more people trip these days, the better off the world will be. And I honestly believe that. I think what you're saying is entirely true. Trips by myself, especially ayahuasca, have been so above and beyond the most important experiences that I will ever have in my entire life that if I said anything different, I would be lying. People have this label already that it is a "drug". Well, they don't understand. It doesn't matter how that you got to that state through a drug, just getting to that state of consciousness is boundlessly important to the human experience. Who cares if a "drug" does it to you?? They're not even like other drugs! You can't even compare any psychiatric medication or narcotic to a psychedelic, they are literally in two entirely different ballparks. Not even CLOSE to the same thing. The fact that psychedelics and other drugs are even in the same category is a problem. Because the experience that you get from a good trip is not like "being high", it is like you seriously reach enlightenment or nirvana.. It is like something that these religions have been explaining for thousands of years about love and life and death.. And what the hell is more important in a human experience than those things? The crazy thing is that love is even so involved. If I never had tripped, I would not even understand love in the fundamental way I do now and how vital it is to the human condition. This shit is where religion came from.
I think my mental health issues were actually caused by tripping. was pretty traumatic every damn time I got even more suicidal, and I did it exactly for depression. thats why Im kindof not pro-using psychedelics, I like the idea of this trippy beautiful spiritual thing helping, but in reality, it dpesnt always, and might even leave you with permanent issues and add to current ones. nice that it wprks for ppl,wish it did fpr me
brooo i am 49 still dealing and just tried shrooms for the first time in my life ...keep at it man ...the world needs you ...And i love you brother stay strong
Most I even done was like 3 dry grams. Big tall shrooms orange caps white stems. But have done like 1/2 gram blue vein shrooms and it gets you deep in thought and giggley. Most important part, trust where/who you get them from.
None of these descriptions or the actions of any of the people I have seen on that crap leads me to believe this will help anyone figure anything out or lead to bliss
@@kennethgibson1092 do some more research and watch actual videos of people going through the infusion or talking about it afterwards. It has changed my life completely. I went from not leaving the house for 2 months to now losing 15lbs since I started a month ago. I see vibrant bright colors again, nothing is dull and gloomy like the last 10 years. This can help so many people but it's not talked about enough.
Hey bro, I'm feeling a similar way to how you're describing. My dad was never really around and these days I'm irritated at the smallest things. Keep on with therapy brother, stay strong ❤
I love this guy for a million reasons but mostly because he is brave enough to be himself. "big tears sneaking little tears in..." hilarious, this man is damn hilarious even when he is sad. Thanks Theo for helping me too.
I went for chronic pain but it made me reconnect to the essential and help with ptsd. I could feel a golden light triangle in my stomach connected with the souls of my daughters. I also felt really deeply for people who have less in life and wished them well. Thinking that safety is such a precious state and being thankful for it.
I was at inpatient rehab in Florida this time last year. Suffering from. PTSD, OCD, ADD, MDD, GAD, SAD, in addition to my substance use disorder. Your videos helped me heal during months in the hosptial. I'm starting at home ketamine therapy this week and am so hopeful
Having a high level of self awareness can be the key to life, or it can be the lock. Good luck everyone, long as you are on the right side of the dirt you still have a chance.
Brother Theo- you’re teaching with a preaching a type of talk I’ve never heard at the sustained level you bring it. Your thoughts are levels deep. You pack a thousand words into the 10 or 12 you string together to form (what may be lost on some as a ) superficial funny image but then hits the listeners brain at a truly profound level. Keep preaching/keep teaching. Peace and happiness to you on your journey. Preach on brother.
That healthy laughter is where it’s at. I suggest everyone try and get at least one or two good belly laughs a day, it’s really good for mental health and the flushing of dopamine and serotonin, that’s why comedy is so beautifully cathartic. The judgments he shared about coming at people in his life with anger even tho he doesn’t want to that’s because it’s projections of what one is feeling internally. So laughter and self joy you are so right, it’s a wonderful sign :)
I absolutely love this man. I identify so closely. I just never have the balls to express it, or put myself out there. I can't seem to put myself in new or uncomfortable places. I am 4 years clean as of yesterday, I have a good job, secure and so on. But I just still don't feel right. Work sleep work sleep. No social life. Nothing. Stuck.
I feel this for sure. Around 2 years clean, and I feel healthier, I have a 'put together' life, but still something is missing. With all the problems of drugs, there was atleast excitement, which can feel valuable for a while. And while I'm happier to be healthier, I still feel as tho I'm missing that 'more' or that excitement. Just going through the motions
You’re a a truly special human being Theo Von. Brave, true, intelligent as hell and fucking hilarious. My hearts with yours. Hope you find the peace your searching for.
I can relate. My dad was older when he had me and he had MS. Kids made fun of him sometimes but he was humble enough to understand they were being dumb kids. He went to all my sports and was very supportive and positive. He was a great athlete when he was young but had to work when he turned 16. He was very smart but he had 7 brothers and 1 sister and he was the youngest. His mom died when he was 3. He didnt graduate high school but very sharp. He wanted me to go to college and worked hard to get me there. He never missed a game or important function for me. He was well like by everyone. He made everyone feel special. I miss him. I never told him I loved him when he was alive. I had alot of guilt and shame about my selfishness. I pray I see him in heaven. Trust in Jesus....Keep on with your comedy and honesty. Sober is a state of mind not only about dry time...there are ali3t of angry non drinkers out in the world. Stay awesome brother. I hope to meet you one day. Come to CT casinos. You would rock there. Do you like the band Molly Hatchet? I bet you do Southern Rock....Spade does..peace.. God speed
i’ve had my struggles for the last ten years with substance abuse.... i really appreciate your openness about your situation. helps me feel less like a loser and more human. Thank you 🙏
"Is this really helpin or am I just doin drugs?" - My exact thoughts when I took prescription meds for the first time at 24. I was like "Is this why people love prescription drugs so much? Or has it just been so long since I've had a good day that I don't know what it feels like anymore?" I'm still not really sure 2 years later. Eh, thoughts.
@@JLopez30 That thought originally came about after I had gotten a prescription for Adderal, initially for motivation and to help me from getting distracted. I shortly after got methylphenidate which is more of a lower-stimulant version of adderal, but is fast releasing where the adderal are slow release tabs. Then Sertraline for depression soon after. Then Risperdone to help turn the 50 thoughts/things on my mind into 1-2 I can focus on and obtain. Then Clonazapam for anxiety which I take very sparingly because I've read much about Benzodiazepine withdrawal and it's not something I want to add to my list of shit. Granted, I probably should be taking it more as I never leave the house, but I'm not sure which is the lesser of the two evils yet and until Im more confident on which is which, I don't wanna deal with another dependency. At a point I was taking them all every morning because I cant keep any kind of proper schedule where I take my meds throughout the day. I think it was like 10 pills.... I've since self-regulated my dosages to better suit "just what I need" rather than trying to "get back to normal." If that makes sense. I also got diagnosed with Tourettes at 24 so the Risperdone helps with that as well. Im not sure how it plays into the above but im absolutely sure it does. Anyways, I hope I gave you the response you were hoping for. Take care my friend, keep your stick on the ice. Were all in this together! :D
this conversation made me feel seen and understood❤️most people won't talk as openly about feelings and it was good to hear honestly refreshing thank you theo
You inspired me to try and get sober man. I know this kind of stuff can be hard to talk about but you make it look easy and you find humor in dark places. Im glad you're trying as hard as you are and I hope you find what you're looking for man!
You’re so honest and put yourself out there I can’t even believe you have an ego. Keep it up because I know you’re helping a lot of people out there. For those who read this, after working in a cancer center for 15 years and then getting a little taste of my mortality with rheumatoid arthritis I was able to let go of almost all my ego and really embrace life the way I believe our creator wanted. Please put away your materialistic desires, help humanity and your neighbor, and just treat others the way you want to be treated. I’m not saying don’t have a career and don’t make as much money as you can but please don’t let that be your main focus. Never met a cancer patient that wish they had more money and spent less time with friends and family making memories. 🤔🤔😎✌️
Those different programs running are different aspects of yourself emerging, swirling, integrating, transforming. Hang in there Theo it’s a courageous journey!
Ive been in and out of recovery for 18 years. Half my life. I have reached these levels of spiritual clarity naturally but sustaining them over long periods of time for me has been the only way to hold on to my life. When i let it slip away by not contiuing to do what is best for my inner child combined with my present moment, that is when old ideations start to reappear and manifest. All of the unconditional love i have returned to being is no longer my reality. I believe in the treatment and therapy that is taking place in you Theo. Ive never experienced it but ive heard good things. It doesnt matter about clean time when youre just trying to dig deep and look for rare treasures that are priceless.
Damn, he is so smart... if you listen to him, his descriptions of things are almost poetic. Had he had a proper upbringing in a good school system and environment with parental support... who knows.
Brother, you have a special gift with the way you talk. Your mind is brilliant! You touch people’s hearts and minds more than you may know... Much Love
One of the craziest “spiritual experiences” I’ve ever had was when I was in hospital on ketamine. I literally felt I had “seen the light”. I dunno, still can’t really explain it. Maybe just the drug, but it felt so real
Three weeks ago ‘a friend’ micro-dosed this at one of his low points that seemed to come in waves, refused to asked for help but still wanted a solution. Didn’t expect much but what happened next was nothing short of a miracle.. clear mind of negative thoughts, knew where the right path was again, enjoyed work, enjoyed life, gym started up, taking care of himself and utilmately all this lead to happiness which he hadn’t felt in years. It’s not a daily thing, And not for enjoyment. But when those brutal lows come along, a micro amount does something that words won’t let me explain, this might not be for everyone .. but when you’re at the point of not caring anymore and taking other stuff to escape the pain.. just know this has changed lives for the better in quite a few people now.
Josh fish this sounds like exactly what I need to try, I've had many periods of sobriety ,6 months to 2 and 1/2 years but always go back to drinking, depression and anxiety are hard sober,I tripped about 10 times when I was younger and I've been reading about micro dosing but don't know where to get ,I'm in Manchester UK. Can anyone help. Thanks lee
Love the openness bro. Helps me think/deal with my own stuff. The wondering if I’m OK has been a massive issue in my life too. I’ve found if stop thinking about if I’m ok and I act like I’m ok (which is difficult and uncomfortable) and start to feel ok.
"Just Tears Running out of my face like they were trying to get into another country", "There were big tears tryin to smuggle in little tears" lol. This guy is becoming one of my favorite podcasters.
Great and honest example of how hard life is, when you are really observant, which is a trait of great comedians, you can see enough to become disenchanted with how life is, and what we are expected to be. The problem is the structure of society, when almost half of people are suffering depression, so many using drugs to cope. The problem isn’t within the person who is depressed or self medicating to cope, the problem is with how we are meant to live.
Dude tread carefully here. It can be mentally addictive and if you have any blood pressure issues keep a close eye on that ( as well as history of alcoholism). Hope it works for u.
I wish people could sample my life or other people's lives with a 💊. Imagine taking a sample of pain from someone's life when their health is gone forever. Imagine sampling disease for 48 hours. Imagine sampling that pain and suffering . Life tastes different after your health is gone.
imagine sampling the life of a reasonably young, attractive and wealthy up and coming comedian, or even dropping a dose of theo von and finding out that depression tastes just the same regardless of circumstance. life is indeed a cycle brother(?) I pray for you('re) taste buds in hope you can nachos el chilli bean w/ guacamole +lime salsa once more.
why would you want to take a pill and experience pain? that sounds ridiculous. i get that you want to be able to walk in someones shoes, but why the fuck negatively
@@TheTexan99 I was a drug dumpster back then. Hand it over and I'd do it. K was my favorite tho. It's amazing my brain is still functioning 🤣😂🤣😂. Drum n Bass 🔊 for life......at 40
Theo you doing big work using your power to be in a vulnerable state and people hearing that maybe they are not alone in feeling some type of way about you sharing your story from an authentic place not many are so honest with themselves. You are an alchemist you took that experience and even though alot were painful you took that base metal and transformed that pain into something positive that brings healing to more than you probably realize and your not the only one but I think some people might underestimate you but you doing a good thing brother appreciate you
I had ketamine once. Not what I expected. Working on the ambulance we've given it to a lot of people. I've seen so many different reactions to it, but never the one I had, and that you described. We even gave it to a 95 year old woman, she sand Elvis and tried to dance. Me I cried my eyes out all the way back from the dentist. At some point I told my fiance I think I'm having a bad trip put on grateful dead right now. Still didn't work still couldn't break through. Thats when I realized sometimes you need to just get that good cry in. After that I felt sooooo sooooo soooo refreshed. Here I was the day after getting 8 teeth out and I'm up cooking breakfast and cleaning like it was just a purge of emotion.
@@crystalm2460 it's a strong dissociative so it is used for analgesia it most cases. Its especially great with painful injuries that are also gruesome in appearance. Because of that dissociative property. So like angulated fractures or compound fractures. Things like that. Some services that have Rapid sequence intubation (rsi) protocols will use it in addition to other medications for that initial sedation to facilitate a tube. I've seen it used for treatment of seizure, but I don't think there is a lot of evidence behind that yet.
Ketamine is a dissociative that’s why it helps take your ego out of the way, we use it as paramedics for people who have had severe traumas. So they can separate the terror of what is actually happening. That’s part of it at least. It’s a very interesting drug.
I’m not to savvy but I can say that in the moment if someone is losing their shit, it absolutely helps both them and us. Plus I would think that ptsd would be easier to deal with or not even manifest because your brain associates what happened with no emotion and everything being fine.
It really does mute your conscious mind. To me it feels similar to when a limb falls asleep and goes numb... but shutting up that inner monologue lets the non-verbal parts of your unconcious come to the surface and hit you with some great insights. Won’t cure you per se, but it will make very clear to you the things you need to work on to heal.
I went to rehab one year ago this weekend. Your conversations about rehab and recovery in an open way absolutely encourages me that I can do it. Haven’t done my d.o.c. Since. But found a lot of early help in ketamine recreationally, I lost my dad at 6 and it opened those pathways to memories I didn’t realize I had. Interested to hear what gets dug up.
When you said you’re not interacting with people in the loving way you want to, I’m going through that exact same thing. It makes me sad / mad that I cant feel that connect lately, especially with my loved ones. Life is short, time is passing us by so quick, to not connect fully with our loved ones or people around us is very frustrating.
Theo I'm a lurker but I just want u to know that the light you are in search of will present itself as long as you keep loving yourself. Cheers brother
Damn Theo, your podcast is amazing. I love your brutal self honesty. It's refreshing and inspiring. Keep laying it all out there and anyone who says you aren't sober bc of ketamine therapy needs to worry about their own sobriety and work on themselves.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart you put into words so fucking good that I couldn't since I got clean and sober. I was able to show my wife and her more understand what I was saying. Thanks brother keep up the fight your a warrior like your man Dustin P. You and the Diamond inspire me and help me with my sobriety.
Do not care about what others think of you doing Ketamine Therapy! You do you!!! You're the one that has to live with how you feel, not those with opinions. You remind me a lot of me. I have done the therapy, have the same feelings as you and therefore, I appreciate your honesty and being bold enough to put it out there. You and I are a lot alike.... Thank you for sharing!!!
good luck to you man, it takes strength to open up like that, especially to the world. i know you'll be better. these are really hard times for everyone.
We all start from the beginning numerous times. We’re constantly changing and reinventing and bettering ourselves. But just like the Phoenix becomes ashes it rises bright and fiery.
I hope Theo knows he's loved by so many people. So many of the comments on his videos are just full of love for him. Theo, if you read this, don't be afraid to love yourself brotha. Gang gang
It's fine if u do it correctly. Never try to do anything after you start. Have basic music or something to guide the trip. Do your k and lay down. It's not a party drug it induces near death experience

You will make it through. Keep going through! Much love
Try shrooms
I am a dual diagnosis nurse and I also am in recovery. Theo, even though you will have so many people tell you that you are no longer sober(especially us licensed medical professionals and other addicts in recovery). But, WHATEVER you feel you need to make you better- DO IT!!! Every person's recovery and needs are different. I felt/feel those feelings of uncomfort in my own skin. I self medicated like most of us do. I was and am willing to try ANYTHING to make me feel like a "normal " person. It doesn't matter what others think. Only u have to live inside your skin/head. I wish you inner peace

I've been doing ketimine infusion for 8 years for PTSD from the war. It saved my life.
Me too. Does the VA flip the bill or you out of pocket?
What is it like? I'm extreamly nervous
@@RedsBigRig it’s nothing to take lightly, but when your anxiety gets so bad that you become suicidal, what other choices do you have? Best decision I’ve ever made
@Gas Pack I’ve done every psychedelic under the sun. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING has ever came close to a 45 minute IV ketamine infusion
i will be starting ketamine therapy soon for treatment resistant depression and PTSD and as Theo described the experience, it seems like a full blown intense psychedelic type journey so i’m curious to know if you feel comfortable during the intensity because of the dissociative effects, or did it ever get overwhelming at any point?
It takes a special kind of crazy to be in this world sober.
fr
Without a doubt.
Not necessarily to simply "be in this world sober" but more like WANTING "to be in this world sober. Especially with the way things are nowadays
Been doing it for a few months. After a while, at least I don't miss it. Tried having a few drinks, started to just not like it. Being sober doesn't make you the fun friend, but it helps you find yourself if you're lost.
This is so true. I lost my brother this past December and it hurts he couldn't get the help he needed. The only thing I can say is cherish your loved ones, take the time to talk, and get help that's available. 🙏✌❤
Theo’s unusual way with words is the best. He has a lot going on in his brain, and I love it. He’s one of a kind, for sure.
You’re the first person to say this
I’ve never been so in love with a person I have never actually spent time with, lol. He’s a 1 in 10,000,000 kind of guys.

@@ndnrb_ Yep. Hearing him talk,was like hearing myself talk. And I'm from dallas.😂
Jokes aside, people don’t understand drugs. Veterans have used MDMA with therapy to overcome war trauma, faster than anything before. With so much suffering in the world, it’s OK to try what will help, in a supervised professional setting of course. We gotta separate medicinal from recreational use, in our culture.
I agree, except I do believe it can be recreational as well. It is a different experience, hiking by yourself on LSD/mushrooms and then going to a doctor for it. Intention is so important. I sold psychedelics for almost ten years and have tripped more than 500 times, and one thing I learned is that it is perfectly acceptable for the intention to be, "to have fun with my friends". But there does need to be places where you can go in the care of a doctor for mental health reasons. The fact that psychedelics are illegal is one of the things that blows my mind the most, like what the fuck is wrong with the government where they make that a crime? If you haven't tripped, it is nothing like what you think it is. Like, there is a zero percent chance that you even could begin to understand what even happens until you do it. It may not blow your mind spiritually at a low dose, but it is a wonderful thing. And eventually you will have a mystical experience. Which undeniably exists in clinical psychology, and transforms people's lives permanently. I am 100% convinced that psychedelics are where religion even comes from, it is beyond obvious. And honestly I would have never understood spirituality without using ayahuasca. I could have written about it and had some strong opinions, but I didn't even have a clue. There is nothing better that can happen to you in life than a spiritual experience.
Happy tripping! If you're scared to get it and do it with friends, I am so excited for you that probably here very soon you can get it from a licensed professional. Because it is not something that's easy to talk about, you can only experience it. It goes so far beyond language that it is literally impossible to describe in words of any language.
@Gas Pack The way I see it, many people wouldn't even use it unless a doctor gave it to them in their care. And if that gets more people to have this experience, then good. That's really all it boils down to. The more people trip these days, the better off the world will be. And I honestly believe that. I think what you're saying is entirely true. Trips by myself, especially ayahuasca, have been so above and beyond the most important experiences that I will ever have in my entire life that if I said anything different, I would be lying. People have this label already that it is a "drug". Well, they don't understand. It doesn't matter how that you got to that state through a drug, just getting to that state of consciousness is boundlessly important to the human experience. Who cares if a "drug" does it to you?? They're not even like other drugs! You can't even compare any psychiatric medication or narcotic to a psychedelic, they are literally in two entirely different ballparks. Not even CLOSE to the same thing. The fact that psychedelics and other drugs are even in the same category is a problem. Because the experience that you get from a good trip is not like "being high", it is like you seriously reach enlightenment or nirvana.. It is like something that these religions have been explaining for thousands of years about love and life and death.. And what the hell is more important in a human experience than those things? The crazy thing is that love is even so involved. If I never had tripped, I would not even understand love in the fundamental way I do now and how vital it is to the human condition. This shit is where religion came from.
I think my mental health issues were actually caused by tripping. was pretty traumatic every damn time I got even more suicidal, and I did it exactly for depression. thats why Im kindof not pro-using psychedelics, I like the idea of this trippy beautiful spiritual thing helping, but in reality, it dpesnt always, and might even leave you with permanent issues and add to current ones. nice that it wprks for ppl,wish it did fpr me

I really like that quote “self awareness can be the key to life, or it can be the lock” so true
Brother Theo- you’re teaching with a preaching a type of talk I’ve never heard at the sustained level you bring it. Your thoughts are levels deep. You pack a thousand words into the 10 or 12 you string together to form (what may be lost on some as a ) superficial funny image but then hits the listeners brain at a truly profound level. Keep preaching/keep teaching.
Peace and happiness to you on your journey. Preach on brother.
i noticed you got sum fire back in you boy just laughing at your own stories again
That healthy laughter is where it’s at. I suggest everyone try and get at least one or two good belly laughs a day, it’s really good for mental health and the flushing of dopamine and serotonin, that’s why comedy is so beautifully cathartic. The judgments he shared about coming at people in his life with anger even tho he doesn’t want to that’s because it’s projections of what one is feeling internally.
So laughter and self joy you are so right, it’s a wonderful sign :)
I noticed it too on the last KatS episode.
Probably the most honest man on the internet, the respect I have for Theo is insane
I absolutely love this man. I identify so closely. I just never have the balls to express it, or put myself out there. I can't seem to put myself in new or uncomfortable places. I am 4 years clean as of yesterday, I have a good job, secure and so on. But I just still don't feel right. Work sleep work sleep. No social life. Nothing. Stuck.
I feel this for sure. Around 2 years clean, and I feel healthier, I have a 'put together' life, but still something is missing. With all the problems of drugs, there was atleast excitement, which can feel valuable for a while. And while I'm happier to be healthier, I still feel as tho I'm missing that 'more' or that excitement. Just going through the motions
Theo's metaphor game is impeccable! He needs to b on a rap song intro

I can relate. My dad was older when he had me and he had MS. Kids made fun of him sometimes but he was humble enough to understand they were being dumb kids. He went to all my sports and was very supportive and positive. He was a great athlete when he was young but had to work when he turned 16. He was very smart but he had 7 brothers and 1 sister and he was the youngest. His mom died when he was 3. He didnt graduate high school but very sharp. He wanted me to go to college and worked hard to get me there. He never missed a game or important function for me. He was well like by everyone. He made everyone feel special. I miss him. I never told him I loved him when he was alive. I had alot of guilt and shame about my selfishness. I pray I see him in heaven. Trust in Jesus....Keep on with your comedy and honesty. Sober is a state of mind not only about dry time...there are ali3t of angry non drinkers out in the world. Stay awesome brother. I hope to meet you one day. Come to CT casinos. You would rock there. Do you like the band Molly Hatchet? I bet you do Southern Rock....Spade does..peace.. God speed

Yo I was dying when he was talking about the glow sticks... then he said dust muppet side piece and I lost it
So much love for this guy - I love feeling better. I’ve seen so many people try to get sober but feel terrible
"Is this really helpin or am I just doin drugs?" - My exact thoughts when I took prescription meds for the first time at 24.
I was like "Is this why people love prescription drugs so much? Or has it just been so long since I've had a good day that I don't know what it feels like anymore?"
I'm still not really sure 2 years later. Eh, thoughts.
What were the meds for if you don’t mind me asking man?
@@JLopez30 That thought originally came about after I had gotten a prescription for Adderal, initially for motivation and to help me from getting distracted. I shortly after got methylphenidate which is more of a lower-stimulant version of adderal, but is fast releasing where the adderal are slow release tabs. Then Sertraline for depression soon after. Then Risperdone to help turn the 50 thoughts/things on my mind into 1-2 I can focus on and obtain. Then Clonazapam for anxiety which I take very sparingly because I've read much about Benzodiazepine withdrawal and it's not something I want to add to my list of shit. Granted, I probably should be taking it more as I never leave the house, but I'm not sure which is the lesser of the two evils yet and until Im more confident on which is which, I don't wanna deal with another dependency.
At a point I was taking them all every morning because I cant keep any kind of proper schedule where I take my meds throughout the day. I think it was like 10 pills.... I've since self-regulated my dosages to better suit "just what I need" rather than trying to "get back to normal." If that makes sense.
I also got diagnosed with Tourettes at 24 so the Risperdone helps with that as well. Im not sure how it plays into the above but im absolutely sure it does. Anyways, I hope I gave you the response you were hoping for. Take care my friend, keep your stick on the ice. Were all in this together! :D

You’re so honest and put yourself out there I can’t even believe you have an ego. Keep it up because I know you’re helping a lot of people out there.
For those who read this, after working in a cancer center for 15 years and then getting a little taste of my mortality with rheumatoid arthritis I was able to let go of almost all my ego and really embrace life the way I believe our creator wanted. Please put away your materialistic desires, help humanity and your neighbor, and just treat others the way you want to be treated. I’m not saying don’t have a career and don’t make as much money as you can but please don’t let that be your main focus. Never met a cancer patient that wish they had more money and spent less time with friends and family making memories. 🤔🤔😎✌️
Those different programs running are different aspects of yourself emerging, swirling, integrating, transforming. Hang in there Theo it’s a courageous journey!
You’re the only person I’ve been able to relate to this much
Ive been in and out of recovery for 18 years. Half my life. I have reached these levels of spiritual clarity naturally but sustaining them over long periods of time for me has been the only way to hold on to my life. When i let it slip away by not contiuing to do what is best for my inner child combined with my present moment, that is when old ideations start to reappear and manifest. All of the unconditional love i have returned to being is no longer my reality. I believe in the treatment and therapy that is taking place in you Theo. Ive never experienced it but ive heard good things. It doesnt matter about clean time when youre just trying to dig deep and look for rare treasures that are priceless.

One of the craziest “spiritual experiences” I’ve ever had was when I was in hospital on ketamine. I literally felt I had “seen the light”. I dunno, still can’t really explain it. Maybe just the drug, but it felt so real
Drugs can just be gateways to a real experience. The experience was real, the drug was a catalyst :)
“They got you on the spiritual grill” this mans analogies and metaphors are golden.
Three weeks ago ‘a friend’ micro-dosed this at one of his low points that seemed to come in waves, refused to asked for help but still wanted a solution.
Didn’t expect much but what happened next was nothing short of a miracle.. clear mind of negative thoughts, knew where the right path was again, enjoyed work, enjoyed life, gym started up, taking care of himself and utilmately all this lead to happiness which he hadn’t felt in years.
It’s not a daily thing, And not for enjoyment. But when those brutal lows come along, a micro amount does something that words won’t let me explain, this might not be for everyone .. but when you’re at the point of not caring anymore and taking other stuff to escape the pain.. just know this has changed lives for the better in quite a few people now.
Josh fish this sounds like exactly what I need to try, I've had many periods of sobriety ,6 months to 2 and 1/2 years but always go back to drinking, depression and anxiety are hard sober,I tripped about 10 times when I was younger and I've been reading about micro dosing but don't know where to get ,I'm in Manchester UK. Can anyone help. Thanks lee
Love the openness bro. Helps me think/deal with my own stuff.
The wondering if I’m OK has been a massive issue in my life too. I’ve found if stop thinking about if I’m ok and I act like I’m ok (which is difficult and uncomfortable) and start to feel ok.

Great and honest example of how hard life is, when you are really observant, which is a trait of great comedians, you can see enough to become disenchanted with how life is, and what we are expected to be. The problem is the structure of society, when almost half of people are suffering depression, so many using drugs to cope. The problem isn’t within the person who is depressed or self medicating to cope, the problem is with how we are meant to live.

I had ketamine once. Not what I expected. Working on the ambulance we've given it to a lot of people. I've seen so many different reactions to it, but never the one I had, and that you described. We even gave it to a 95 year old woman, she sand Elvis and tried to dance. Me I cried my eyes out all the way back from the dentist. At some point I told my fiance I think I'm having a bad trip put on grateful dead right now. Still didn't work still couldn't break through. Thats when I realized sometimes you need to just get that good cry in. After that I felt sooooo sooooo soooo refreshed. Here I was the day after getting 8 teeth out and I'm up cooking breakfast and cleaning like it was just a purge of emotion.
Why would someone in an ambulance be given ketamine? I thought it was only used recreationally or in alternative therapys.
@@crystalm2460 it's a strong dissociative so it is used for analgesia it most cases. Its especially great with painful injuries that are also gruesome in appearance. Because of that dissociative property. So like angulated fractures or compound fractures. Things like that. Some services that have Rapid sequence intubation (rsi) protocols will use it in addition to other medications for that initial sedation to facilitate a tube. I've seen it used for treatment of seizure, but I don't think there is a lot of evidence behind that yet.
Bro, I can relate. Even though I'm a toad, I still want universal love in my life.
Dude.....thanks for sharing.......I am so impressed by your emotional maturity. I wish we could all speak on their own issues like this.
Ketamine is a dissociative that’s why it helps take your ego out of the way, we use it as paramedics for people who have had severe traumas. So they can separate the terror of what is actually happening. That’s part of it at least. It’s a very interesting drug.
Sounds unhealthy. As an EMT in El Salvador we let patients experience reality not disassociate from it and make it harder to mitigate ptsd.
I’m not to savvy but I can say that in the moment if someone is losing their shit, it absolutely helps both them and us. Plus I would think that ptsd would be easier to deal with or not even manifest because your brain associates what happened with no emotion and everything being fine.
It really does mute your conscious mind. To me it feels similar to when a limb falls asleep and goes numb... but shutting up that inner monologue lets the non-verbal parts of your unconcious come to the surface and hit you with some great insights. Won’t cure you per se, but it will make very clear to you the things you need to work on to heal.
@@ixxgxx it’s actually not unhealthy.
I went to rehab one year ago this weekend. Your conversations about rehab and recovery in an open way absolutely encourages me that I can do it. Haven’t done my d.o.c. Since. But found a lot of early help in ketamine recreationally, I lost my dad at 6 and it opened those pathways to memories I didn’t realize I had. Interested to hear what gets dug up.
Just tackling that stuff is already more emotionally mature than most people.
You’re doing alright.
Praying for you brother! I hope you can unwrap the negativity deep inside and let it go or learn to cope. You brighten so many lives
