Psilocybin helped me break through years of anxiety and depression, offering clarity and peace I couldn’t find with traditional treatments. It gave me a fresh perspective on life.
Psychedelics has changed my life, and literally saved my marriage! I’m so much more patient and caring now. I now love the outdoors and can appreciate everything in nature. Just got back from camping and I sat there most of the time observing the birds and nature’s dance. I’m so grateful
People that have done psychedelics have been saying this for decades. It shouldn’t require millions of dollars to prove these effective. The government & pharma industry need to get out of the way. It also shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to partake in psychedelic assisted therapy. Regardless, thank you guys for spreading the message.
Just posted a similar comment. People have known this since the 70s yet these scientists and the government know better! It's all for you protection as they wouldn't want you to harm yourself! That's why legalise alcohol & nicotine so you can slowly kill yourself. Alcohol is one of the most pernicious and damaging drugs out there, yet you can walk into any shop and get the stuff. But you're not allowed to take one trip of mushrooms or lsd and have one of the most profound experiences you'll have in your lifetime with the potential to lead to the cessation of these government controlled substances - along with pharmaceutical drugs. We know psychedelics are extremely low on the addiction chart yet they're still classed as a schedule 1 drug.
You're not going to convince medical mafia to forfeit one of their most profitable rackets without a gunfight, and you're never going to convince the politiwhores to stop taking money from the medical mafia without a bidding war.
100% not a single doubt in my mind, that ppl have been using them for decades/ thousands of years, and I hoesntly believe many of the things that we have been taught even religion type stuff has been through psycedelics
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxietyNot until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
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 Spain. Really need
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus
Psilocybin mushrooms have certainly had a beneficial effect on my mental health. They've been quite effective for me in managing my anxiety and depression.
Yeah. More people should try psychedelics. Not only in a medical environment because in some countries they are illegal. But with the right set and setting they can do wonders.
Phsychedelics helped me quit illicit pills addiction, I was messed up I was depressed and a danger to myself. Good videos and help like this should be seen always.
I am microdosing atm and it has changed me dramatically. It has helped with my panic attacks and chronic migraines. It makes me think in a different very constructive way. It makes me think about me. I am exercising, eating a wonderful healthy diet and no junk food to speak of. And it has stopped from procrastinating. That issue died. This just an amazing transformation!
DMT, LSD, and psilocybin mushrooms are truly remarkable. A few years back, I was grappling with severe depression and mental health issues, and was diagnosed with BPD. It wasn't until a friend suggested psilocybin mushrooms that things began to change for me. It was a lifesaver, and I've been completely clean for 6 years.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire article about psychedelics. They saved you from death bud, lets be honest.
I came around to say something similar, Ever tell yourself something but underneath you know you don’t believe it? Even if you knew what you said is true but the underlying systems don’t agree? Having PTSD and taking large (controlled) dose of shrooms paired with (a lot of previous) cog. Beh. Therapy felt like 1000 hours of therapy. In a sense, it brought everything to the same level of focus so I could pick what to keep and what to let go.
Would you please describe the set and setting for your shroom trip? Asking to have an idea of how to go about one myself. I don't want to have to wait for those MDMA sessions tbh
@@aymalkhan5781 I studied extensively and have a fair amount of observational experience. I have never seen evidence of them creating it. However, they could exacerbate the condition. I would never recommend someone try them who has been diagnosed with that condition.
Im an executive at a large behavioral healthcare company, and I can tell you the smart psychiatrists out there arent ignoring this information. We need clear trials with outcomes to provide the treatment with these drugs, but all that is in process. Very exciting to see this work coming to fruition
this will truly bend the arc of history. I've been waiting for this moment for so long and I'm so happy you guys can finally speak about this to the world.
Huberman is late to the party. He even said it himself that he was scared to talk about this. Michael pollan has been talking about this for a very long time. Hamilton Morris has been talking about this for a very long time. Outside of the mainstream media has been having this discussion for a very long time. Now once huberman sees that these brave individuals have not been tarred and feathered he comes out to talk about it? He is not at the forefront of anything unfortunately, especially not psychedelics.
Andrew Huberman- IT'S ABOUT TIME!! haha ;) I've been listening to you since the start of your podcast. I'm so glad to hear you're finding balance in your psyche via psychedelics. As a therapist myself, I see many high-achievers get to where they are because of a traumatic past; a sort of "flip the script" or "reverse the curse." The degree to which they achieve is of equal, b;ut opposite, order of magnitude congruent to their trauma. At some point, they reach a personal vertex only to realize they're still not happy. The use of psychedelics allows a type of "centering" that anchors people to their own calm middle ground; a place between what we perceive as our psychological extremes. We don't have to exist in a "0 or 180 degree" state; we can exist at 90 degrees, while also knowing we'll always have access to all degrees between 0-180 if we consciously choose to use those parts. With further growth, we realize we have access to 360 degrees of consciousness in our psyche, and then the dimensions expand from 2D to 3D; and we see ALL of ourselves within the context of our interpersonal relationship dynamics. I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOUR GROWTH!!!!
Psilocybin is helping release and navigate traumatic grief and loss of my only child, my daughter Kaylah Orban at age 22. I have struggled with depression all my life and it’s helping realize so much more about Spirituality and Consciousness as well as Heal the past by releasing it. Thank you for sharing.
How amazing to see Dr. Huberman so obviously moved by his personal, guided, experiences with psychedelics. Yes, finally thanks to MAPS and Co. there will be an astounding clamor for how these medicines are profound in their scope of provoking self-reflection on what this life is about. May the availability come sooner than later. The healing will spread far and wide.
I’m really excited to see where the next decade takes us in this field. I’m glad to say that here in Australia from this coming July psilocybin and MDMA will be able to be accessed legally from licences psychiatrists for mental health issues. Very proud moment for us. First nation in the world to be doing so. This sets a precedent for the rest of the world.
Yep! I bet you'll have to jump through hoops to have access and I can almost guarantee your GP will have to get Government permission to treat anyone first as well, I have no idea though. Every Australian could do with a hero dose right now. Apparently 1 in 6 Australians have thought about suicide in the last year😢,( i have no idea how big the study was)
@@kerryangus3030 nah I don’t really think there will be any kind of hurdles like that, I think the part that will make it difficult will be getting in to see a psychiatrist without a 6 month waiting list because of how busy they all already currently are!
@@shardj5151 I'm talking about using psilocybin and MDMA legally in a therapeutic setting with psychologists etc. and not only in a trial setting. In those few places where mushrooms are legal to consume are they being used to help treatment-resistant depression? This is what I am referring to.
We might want to consider getting the Medical Industrial Complex out of the way as a middleman (at least for anyone and everyone not in a clear and severely high risk mental condition). Trip sitter qualifications for 99% of the world: responsible-ish adult, sober, and awake. The rest is pernicious money grabbing window dressing to enable the same industries that have saturated the world in ridiculous, designed to be habitual compounds (from lithium to benzos to SSRIs) that are either worthless, beneficial but addictive, or some combo of these). Your.body. Your mind. Your consciousness. Your soul. Life is risk. Ingest whatever you like. Build whatever process to maximize the therapeutic potential, including professionals, but don't allow these powerful compounds to be doled out by the dastardly folks selling obesity drugs, statins, Vioxx, etc etc etc. Somehow, they'll fuck up a good thing and in the most idealistic scenario imaginable, they're drive the cost up 100x or more as the carve out there latest pound of flesh from a beleaguered, confused, depressed, traumatized global population. Think about it..
@@TheCALMInstitute Paul sells top quality mushroom supplements that fulfil a great need. He is not just about Psilocybin. He is about all things mycelia.
My youngest teenage son seemed to mature almost over night early last year. Then I noticed him meditating. In talking with him I learned he had tried some mushrooms and it had changed his reality. The way he described it was to let go of everything and see it without any bias. I've been wanting to try them ever since. All this stems from my "stuck" son who is so depressed he can sleep for 16 hours a day sometimes.. I think mushrooms are quietly changing our world.
Isn't it fantastic that instead of fear, now insight and knowledge actually determine the way we as humanity now look at these psychedelics and discover their meaningful uses! Great interview, holy smokes! I bet McKenna, Hofmann and Shulgin are smiling, watching all of this unfold, from the heavens🙏
Music in the distance, slowly coming in, followed by an instrumental period, then a transition out. If only there was an electronic version of that, that thousands of people across the globe felt magically connected with each other while listening to it.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Wow, this is amazing. I’m a 58 year old lady who has suffered with severe depression and chronic suicidal ideation for half a century and have just recently been using cannabis to help unravel some of my issues and this gives me even more hope of a better life. ❤
What is it that wants or hopes for a better life? It may be that what wants or hopes or fears is the thing that dies during deep psychedelic inquiry. Then the grasping or striving or searching ends and nourishment comes without effort...without one even knowing. ❤
I convinced my mom who has never done drugs or ever been drunk (she’s 68) to do mushrooms. Truly what she needed. She said she wished all her friends could experience it. She called it “ a reset.” I know personally it was one of the most needed and meaningful experiences I had ever had. I would go every 6 months or so and do 3.5G alone, with intent. I have no need anymore but do see the mass benefits. It’s here on our earth for a reason. ❤
@@katemccrew no I just did it at my house with my mom. With myself I would go and stay in a hotel for a night. I like to set an intention and then go and be alone. Eye mask and headphones 🎧 and just let whatever needs to come, come. If there was fear and you would want to be supervised I know there are some people who offer to “trip sit” and you would rent an Airbnb and have your experience there. They usually would supply what you need as well. My son bought me a book called “The psychedelic explorers guide.” Could be helpful if you are just starting out.
I'm living in San Francisco, and the sheer number of people living on the streets who would have access to MDMA therapy would just be absolutely transformative to the whole city.
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 gone , 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.
We need to extend the conversation to 5MEO-DMT (from the Sonoran Desert toad) as well. This medicine brought a spirituality to my life that has greatly improved my day to day. Great talk!
We have known that psilocybin used with the proper dosage and intention is a gift in a big way since Ram Dass and Timothy Leary. You have been limited by your institution in exploring it, at least mentioning publicly. The handcuff of institutions. Your influence keeps growing 👁️🙌 Ben would be proud.. This is a big one.👁️
Just had psilocybin treatment in Ashland, Oregon. It ended three years of PTSD, grief, depression and anxiety in one session. I lost three years of my life with trying sooooo many other things that didn’t work. This fucking worked! It should not be illegal. Legalize it immediately and get people some help and some peace!
psychedelics saved my life. i wish my grandpa who died of depression had access. thanks tim for being one of the first people to get me thinking about them. and thanks andrew for all your work and influential conversations. you both have helped me so much!
Psycedelics have helped me alot, I was already a pretty open minded person,but before doing psycedelics I didn’t believe in a higher power but they helped me breakthrough a lot and confirm a lot of things that I believed to be true,
Thanks to both of you for making this more known. The used dosage (equals about 3g dried psilocybe cubensis) is not yet heroic dose, but high enough to push trough most of defense mechanisms. Psilocybin has helped me a LOT, especially those higher dose introsprect trips, and also low dose nature trips. (Also had a so called "horrortrip" because I wasn't able to let go... so it's not allway fun) Hopefully Psilocybin assisted therapy will be No.1 treatment for depression.🙏 Can safe many lifes.
I truly appreciate the changing conversation around psychedelics and I am grateful for anyone who keeps doing the important pioneer work to show people their true nature and potential. That said, a few things that were said in this talk don't sit quite right with me. Thanking the people who pushed for legal research, etc. is very much warranted and important. But imo it's just as important to thank the people who've risked their freedom and in some cases even their lives to bring these substances to the people while a large portion of the population condemned them due to their own misconceptions. We also have to thank the people who truly pioneered the research throughout the past century, both legally and illegaly. Those who weren't afraid to stand by their experiences and beliefs in the face of massive negative propaganda. The emphasis on only taking these compounds with licensed medical personell, while aiming at harm reduction and safe use, which is commendable, doesn't do reality justice. I've had massively therapeutic, transformative experience with psychedelics with some good friends out in nature and to me that is still one of the best possible settings one could wish for. Of course not everyone is lucky enough to have friends they can be 100% themselves and vulnerable around and I get that even today being very careful about how you communicate your stance around this topic is important, but I couldn't let that stand on its own.
I think the emphasis of using these as medicines in a professionally regulated environment comes from caution. Caution not to awaken the fear of the powers that be (corporations, government, inherent human conservativism "it's always been classified as dangerous for as long as I and my parents remember so it must be dangerous"). It needs to be a step by step process, starting with proven, publicly repeated over and over again therapeutic successes until it can start to become truly socially acceptable. This is to avoid another big crackdown Nixon style.
Nicely put, I agree very much. One thought I had, reading your comment: could it be, that even in this phase that we're in, concerning psychedelics and for the sake of creating public support, it would be wise NOT to overstate the recreational use but rather the therapeutic use first? I mean, coming from condemnation and labelling, maybe the contrast to openly advocating for recreational use might just be one step too far, imho. Again, don't get me wrong, I 100% relate to your experience, I have had the great fortune of having the greatest experiences myself also with like-minded friends on both MDMA and psilocybin and unless contra-indicated for medical or psychiatric reasons, I would in fact recommend anyone to also have these experiences outside of a controlled, "therapeutic" setting, because imho, these compounds bear in themselves the therapeutic qualities already 🙏
"licensed medical personnel" were the ones carrying out mk ultra, abusing large numbers of psychiatric patients and using these substances in the development of the USA's torture program during the 60s. I fail to see how being part of the medical establishment is at all related to being trustworthy or a good therapist
I LOVE this convo!! I'm late to the game too because I used to believe psychedelics would threaten my sobriety with alcohol so I just considered them off limits (plus they kinda scare the sh!t out of me after a huge mushroom dose I had as a teenager...). Now I realize that actually these visionary plants have the potential to heal a lot of what was under so many of our alcohol addiction in the first place; trauma, anxiety, depression... So yea, the recent data helped me change my mind. And so a few months ago, at 13 years sober from alcohol, I went to Peru and drank ayahuasca for the first time. And honestly I don't think it would have been possible to heal and evolve in the way that I have from ayahuasca with any other healing modality. There's something deeply profound, beyond words, to experience what seems like existing as consciousness traveling through dimensions without a body, mind, personality, identity... and then come back. It really puts everything in a new perspective and has left me feeling very empowered.
Believe it should be said: the REAL HEROES of this story are the Indigenous practitioners, shamans and medicine men/women that have not only had the courage to preserve the medicinal plant practices of their culture in the face of insurmountable challenge and existential threat from outsiders, but also the wisdom, grace and humility to pass the knowledge on to those same interlopers despite all the violence and hostility they have endured. Much love and respect for the original stewards of plant medicines, as well as those who continue to bear the torch 💕
I’m also surprised he didn’t mention Fadiman ? Among those heroes holding the torches. Really he grandfathered the whole Microdosing movement starting in the 60s and wasn’t he at Stanford too? I thought it was odd that he wasn’t mentioned on that shortlist. Excellent clip though
Mdma showed me I could love myself at 17, when things in school and at home were really tuff. To know that you can love yourself is a blessing! Love the nighties :)
From my personal experience with cosmonuating the psylocybin experience i did get the most theraputic benefits from closed eyes controled setting with a kit of grounding mechanisms,personal safety anchors and specifically solfeggio frequencies from instrumental guitar music.these controled experiences were extremely transformative and helped me in the domain of social relatedness and empathy,confidense with people and it seems to help dissolve alot of fear.i fear less and thats the most important!
Hi everyone. I did psilocybin last night for the first time. I'm 19 YR. And trust me its like you reach out to everything you always wanted. Its like you meet the divine energy and higher power. And that loving energy comes from the mind. And that blows your mind. Its like there is absolutely no past , now , or future. Time doesn't mean anything if U R on the right does.
Talks like these are instrumental to the “bending of the arc” that Tim mentioned. These things are powerful and not to be conflated with the broad category of “drugs” that people use solely to have a good time or escape real problems. Psilocybin is powerful and has been very important in my own growth and development and I can’t wait for more to be discovered about these mystical mushrooms.
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.
Psychedelic mushrooms really made a positive difference for me in dealing with addiction and depression. They've had a significant impact on my mental well-being, surpassing the effects of antidepressants.
FINALLY! WE ARE SO GLAD Dr. Huberman has kept an open mind, did his research into the modern research, and shared what he has learned! No mention of Dr. Paul Stamets? The Stamets Stack to treat neuropathy via neurogenesis.
NN DMT helped me go through a 30 years never ending mourning of my grand mother. Instantly! I can't explain what happened in my brain. But I have to say I am happy I found it
I'm just glad everyone is starting to wake up. It's very hard to control people if they are robbed of tools of enlightenment. Just want to say thank you Andrew. I've been listening to you more these days. It's fun for me being a psychologist to listen to a neuroscientist.
I can't fathom why Psilocybin is illegal in places, the peace you can get from such a small does is immeasurable. Yet people can walk into any store and buy a drink that will potentially make them violent with a high probability of hurting someone or worse and this is fine.
I had a most amazing spiritual trip that I will never forget. Then the next trip was pure hell. I finally came down. A week later the panic, fear, and delusions came back on me suddenly and stayed for weeks. I coukdnt sleep, eat, or function. So be very careful, bad trips can ruin you.
I was at the first VETS fundraiser in SD. I never bothered to come say hello as I respect people's privacy. I appreciate that both you and Andrew were present to show your support and I look forward to saying hello in the future. Your voices are so important to cracking apart the paradigm of negative info surrounding these plant medicines.
Psilocybin mushrooms have been a part of my peoples culture, religion and history for 2,000 years. My family and I are proudly keeping our heritage alive and every summer solstice we celebrate.
What the psychedelic experiment does, if curated correctly, is allow for a remembrance of ourselves as the divine, creative beings we all truly are. You aren’t who you thought you were. You simply aren’t that person. And in this life you can know it.
Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here
Last year, I took shrooms at Las Vegas 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
I rarely take a dose large enough to have visions. And that introspection period has been tremendous in my healing. And yes music! In a few retreats where I had big doses they played music and wow!! A whole new level.
*Psychedelic definitely have undeniable benefits to deal with PTSTD,ADDICTION,TRAUMA AND DEPRESSION ETC.The experience gave me freedom.I was Able to get shrooms,dmt,edibles,lsd etc from this licensed mycologist who ships to my location without hassel*
I had an experience with a high dose of Mushrooms (almost 4 grams). It was not a pleasant trip (I "died" several times, among other strange experiences), but after I've ended up with a solid idea: suicide has no sense. So, yes, psychedelics can be a strange but good way to deal with depression and related negative mind states.
Shrooms brought me out of my depression from my grandpa passing away. Grandpa died March 2023 and I took the shrooms on NYE still thoroughly depressed. Can’t explain it, but I felt reborn and just okay again as soon as I came down. Crazy stuff, no more necessary for me. That was a hell of an experience overall
Thats great, but what I would love to hear more about is the subjective change of daily moods of people who has tried microdosing, because thats what I would try as I do not want to experience a "trip" but just a small increase in my daily well being and mood.
Psychedelics changed my life for the better. Love the link to music. I ended up learning how to play guitar because of how euphoric music was during those experiences lol.
The great thing now is how much knowledge is available to we lay people. Bet we're ahead of most professionals. Not because we're smart but we haven't the "disadvantage" of old school teaching. Probably if I had spent all that money and time getting that paper, I'd stand by it also.
@@davidboyle1193 Ok. I'm going to start a channel at some point, under a different name, but I can go over it a bit here. The way I see it there are three different levels of microdosing psilocybin. There is the level where it isn't perceptible, which would be .1 to .15 (all in grams). There is the level where you can tell but it won't be highly altering, which is .2 to .35. There is above that where it's about more of an experience, but not full on like heroic doses, which would be around .4 to .8. As far as where you choose within these ranges, it's about your tolerance, and that will go up and down very quickly. So, as an example, if you are doing level two, maybe you start with .2 on day one, and by day four in a row you do .3. It's important to understand with microdosing small amount changes are a big deal. What I just mentioned is a 50% raise. I personally think level two is where you need to be for really big physical effects, and that's why the few studies into microdosing haven't been successful here yet (they demand imperceptibility so as to conduct double-blind placebo studies). I, also, am a very strong believer in only doing it about half the days, and remember after days off your tolerance is going to go way down.
The pioneers are the shamans that have been facilitating these treatments for hundreds of years! This realm will be just fine with you or without you guys.
Indigenous People always have known the Truth, and the Truth of Nature. The West is far behind.. Which explains the disconnect and spiritual warfare in America. Your right.
Don't forget to respect the mushrooms, Golden Teacher basically,they have some very powerful potential. I just did about 7g on 4/12/2023 and it went well actually but barely escaped a bad trip.
It is absolutely beautiful how people talk so many things about psychedelic and magic mushrooms too.. Everyone focused on how magic mushrooms can change and also save lives.. I haven't try it but I deep down I really what to try it.. just looking for a reliable source..
I wholeheartedly agree. I’m a 54 yr old mother of 4. I’ve taken 🍄 half a dozen times over the last 40 years and each time my empathy for myself has grown exponentially. I also have a way more fun and lighthearted view of life 😍
Whats so sad I am a combat vetran and struggle with quite a bit and I wish I had the ability to try some of these treatment modalities. Maybe one day 😔
VERY interesting potential, Some details will be great. What type and grade of trauma? How is a clinican guided session looks like, etc… We all wanna help ourselves and our communities…
The fact that pharma wants to eliminate the " experience " of these natural medicines would make them ineffective it is in my experience a large part of the healing process
I am new to the psychedelics and have only tried psilocybin for a couple of months now. In my career as a hairdresser I have seen and heard so much traumatic stories of my clients and I truly beleive that combined with the right doses, education on the matter and some deep work integrating music, journaling thoughts after each session and a few other tools that psychedelics have the power to heal humanity and this world. It has really helped me accept my negative self talk and thoughts due to ADHD. Lets hope we are smart enough to have a open mind.
I know I have a high level of control to not become dependent on anything particularly drinking (which I don’t enjoy much anyway) but psychedelics saved my creative life and mental health. You have to respect the science and not abuse of it and that’s how you become functional while respecting it.
I micro dosed mushrooms after fighting depression for over 7years, being incapable of work for the last 2years. In shot summary I became depression free within a couple of months and still I'm 6months later it saved me.
For most of us who have “traveled” these paths there was NOT a SINGLE clinician or therapist anywhere near us at ALL in ANY WAY and we’ve known this for THOUSANDS of years. If you think we’re waiting on the “experts” for permission you’re delusional, utterly. “Turn on, tune in, drop out”-Dr. Timothy Francis Leary
This is an important podcast. Thank you, thank you, thank you! After going deep into the massive benefits and miniscule risks associated with entheogens and fungi specifically, I dedicated a big part of my life to understanding the safely and efficacy of these gifts . And while direct medical supervision is an important route for some, it is not the only safe route and often it is not the best route. Safety of the explorer is of primary importance, but (as stated) mushrooms in particular have an infinitesimal risk of dangerous experiences or abuse, and like all other classics, a near zero risk for addiction. And while some people will need close supervision due to cognitive and or emotional challenges, the bulk of the adult human population, with (the correctly phrased term) "appropriate supervision", would see benefits ranging from simple to profound. How is this not fundamentally a good thing? The importance, no, the criticality of Set and Setting of higher dose experiences (microdosing is another topic for another time) cannot be overstated and was prior to more recent studies, was routinely dismissed, or at least diminished by those in the medical community who studied this space with no personal experience to draw on. We need to learn from those lessons as we go forward in a discerning and measured way.. There are few things in our world that have the net positive impact that these medicines have, and we were repeatedly robbed of their benefits when the church and then the government persecuted those who understood these gifts. As hyperbolic as it might sound, we are at a crucial time in human history. A time where we can begin to apply these profoundly beneficial compounds to the health and wellbeing of people all over the world for pennies on the dollar. I hope we, the government, or the pharma industry don't screw it up....again. Mush appreciation! 🍄❤
A very articulate and intelligent overview of the research on psychedelics as a medical treatment. Great respect to Huberman for his work and his commitment.
For harm reduction sake you should probably update that conversion you did from psilocybin to dried mushrooms - it is wildly inaccurate. In general, cubensis potency is 1% active alkaloids per gram, but can be higher than 2%. So a closer estimate of 25mg psilocybin is 2.5 grams dried cubensis- which is not a heroic dose. It is the high end of a normal dose. Also this calculation is just for cubensis, pan cyans potency is way higher. Whatever you do, do not take 5 grams thinking it is a solid estimate for 25mg of psilocybin. It is not. It could be more than double the intended dosage. Negative side effects increase after 30mg, with little increase in beneficial effects.
The fact that these professors were fired, paired with the fact that psilocybin is this thousands year-old plant that people have been using for such a long time just begs soooo many questions. How can we have a conversation about mental health if we can't place all the facts about the timeline properly? All of this stuff has to be looked into and then we can really have genuine and fruitful dialogue about what mental health is.
i had a different experience in highschool acid kind got me to get my act together to realize i can put forth thee effort and whent from failing two years to graduating 2 years years early and getting a job at a farm and ranch/hardware store to keep building my self
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psylocybin in my area , I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance , I felt free , the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released , that's exactly what it did
i think joe rogan deserves a lot of credit for providing a platform for popularizing the idea of taking psychedelic intervention in order to navigate traumatic experiences. i've been a pretty straight arrow my whole life; i've consumed alcohol less than the number of fingers i have on my hands in my whole life. but making this stuff legal and accessible means there's a potential new perspective out there when it comes to the shitty experiences many of us have to carry with us

Lol
Physicians should not be gatekeepers for psychedelics.
No shit dumb ass drugs are good
Johnny come lately’s
Psychedelics are way easily accessible for me from a mycologist who introduced me to dmt and other psychedelics products
Psychedelics not only outperform antidepressants for many people but also provide a deeply meaningful recreational experience.
Psilocybin helped me break through years of anxiety and depression, offering clarity and peace I couldn’t find with traditional treatments. It gave me a fresh perspective on life.
Hey, anyone know a good source?
doctorquilll is my go to for anything related to psychedelics.
He’s on telgram?
Yes, and TikTok, highly recommended.
Thank you Dr. Huberman for having the bravery to tell the truth about psychs
You need to acknowledge the work done by Dr. Carl Hart as well. He’s a major figure in this scene.
And James Fadiman
Psychedelics has changed my life, and literally saved my marriage! I’m so much more patient and caring now. I now love the outdoors and can appreciate everything in nature. Just got back from camping and I sat there most of the time observing the birds and nature’s dance. I’m so grateful
never taken any psychedelics but hopefully it opens doors for me to happiness
@@eyelikefetty4840 it's a powerfull tool, go at it carefully
I just start to interest in psychedelic. How long does it take your brain? And how many times you have to use it before your brain change?
What are you taking?? I'm really interested in saving my marriage too 😂❤
Me too!
People that have done psychedelics have been saying this for decades. It shouldn’t require millions of dollars to prove these effective. The government & pharma industry need to get out of the way. It also shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to partake in psychedelic assisted therapy. Regardless, thank you guys for spreading the message.
Just posted a similar comment. People have known this since the 70s yet these scientists and the government know better! It's all for you protection as they wouldn't want you to harm yourself! That's why legalise alcohol & nicotine so you can slowly kill yourself. Alcohol is one of the most pernicious and damaging drugs out there, yet you can walk into any shop and get the stuff. But you're not allowed to take one trip of mushrooms or lsd and have one of the most profound experiences you'll have in your lifetime with the potential to lead to the cessation of these government controlled substances - along with pharmaceutical drugs. We know psychedelics are extremely low on the addiction chart yet they're still classed as a schedule 1 drug.
It only gets “officially” approved when the goverment finds a way to make money off it
Big pharma especially needs to FO!
You're not going to convince medical mafia to forfeit one of their most profitable rackets without a gunfight, and you're never going to convince the politiwhores to stop taking money from the medical mafia without a bidding war.
100% not a single doubt in my mind, that ppl have been using them for decades/ thousands of years, and I hoesntly believe many of the things that we have been taught even religion type stuff has been through psycedelics
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxietyNot until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episodeenough to start working on my mental health
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 Spain. Really need
Dr.raymycology is your guy. Best
shrooms and psychedelics guy I know
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
My recovery journey was supported by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT, LSD are exceptional as well
I've been looking to try shrooms. Can someone direct me to a source?
doctor.cyruss is your guy, got all kinds of psychedelics.
He's on TikTok
It's amazing how they work better than antidepressants and serve recreational purpose as well.
Can doctor.cyruss post to me in Texas?
Psilocybin mushrooms have certainly had a beneficial effect on my mental health. They've been quite effective for me in managing my anxiety and depression.
Yeah. More people should try psychedelics.
Not only in a medical environment because in some countries they are illegal. But with the right set and setting they can do wonders.
Psychedelic mushrooms had a profound healing effect on my severe PTSD that I struggled with for years.
Phsychedelics helped me quit illicit pills addiction, I was messed up I was depressed and a danger to myself. Good videos and help like this should be seen always.
Is he instgram?
Sure, dr.blakee
@@zackmm4917is he reliable, I lost contact with my supplier
It ’s wild, everyone’s feel of shrooms is different though
I love myself when I’m on shrooms, lol everything feels right.
I am microdosing atm and it has changed me dramatically. It has helped with my panic attacks and chronic migraines. It makes me think in a different very constructive way. It makes me think about me. I am exercising, eating a wonderful healthy diet and no junk food to speak of. And it has stopped from procrastinating. That issue died. This just an amazing transformation!
Please can you say which one, mushrooms? I'm struggling with junk food!
DMT, LSD, and psilocybin mushrooms are truly remarkable. A few years back, I was grappling with severe depression and mental health issues, and was diagnosed with BPD. It wasn't until a friend suggested psilocybin mushrooms that things began to change for me. It was a lifesaver, and I've been completely clean for 6 years.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire article about psychedelics. They saved you from death bud, lets be honest.
Doctor.jeremyy is the person you want. He's the most knowledgeable about psychedelics that I know.
Yep
Can Doctor.jeremyy post to me in AZ?
Sure, anywhere and very discreet.
Psilocybin transformed my relationship with myself and has given me agency over a long standing PTSD diagnosis.
I came around to say something similar,
Ever tell yourself something but underneath you know you don’t believe it? Even if you knew what you said is true but the underlying systems don’t agree?
Having PTSD and taking large (controlled) dose of shrooms paired with (a lot of previous) cog. Beh. Therapy felt like 1000 hours of therapy.
In a sense, it brought everything to the same level of focus so I could pick what to keep and what to let go.
Jodi, were you in a good space when you did em? I need the breakthrough but I’m worried they’ll break me with my current head space 😅
Would you please describe the set and setting for your shroom trip? Asking to have an idea of how to go about one myself. I don't want to have to wait for those MDMA sessions tbh
Dmt did wonders for c-ptsd in particular. I think it really needs to be studied for that specific form of ptsd.
Psilocybin helped me kick alcoholism, healed my anxiety, and changed my life. The world needs these now!!!!
But they can Create schizopherinia ✌
@@aymalkhan5781 I studied extensively and have a fair amount of observational experience. I have never seen evidence of them creating it. However, they could exacerbate the condition. I would never recommend someone try them who has been diagnosed with that condition.
Im an executive at a large behavioral healthcare company, and I can tell you the smart psychiatrists out there arent ignoring this information. We need clear trials with outcomes to provide the treatment with these drugs, but all that is in process. Very exciting to see this work coming to fruition
this will truly bend the arc of history. I've been waiting for this moment for so long and I'm so happy you guys can finally speak about this to the world.
Bend history back to it was before western capitalism. Psychedelics were used all over the world. Celtic England and Germany, Americas, Africa etc
Huberman is late to the party. He even said it himself that he was scared to talk about this. Michael pollan has been talking about this for a very long time. Hamilton Morris has been talking about this for a very long time. Outside of the mainstream media has been having this discussion for a very long time. Now once huberman sees that these brave individuals have not been tarred and feathered he comes out to talk about it? He is not at the forefront of anything unfortunately, especially not psychedelics.
Andrew Huberman- IT'S ABOUT TIME!! haha ;) I've been listening to you since the start of your podcast. I'm so glad to hear you're finding balance in your psyche via psychedelics. As a therapist myself, I see many high-achievers get to where they are because of a traumatic past; a sort of "flip the script" or "reverse the curse." The degree to which they achieve is of equal, b;ut opposite, order of magnitude congruent to their trauma. At some point, they reach a personal vertex only to realize they're still not happy. The use of psychedelics allows a type of "centering" that anchors people to their own calm middle ground; a place between what we perceive as our psychological extremes. We don't have to exist in a "0 or 180 degree" state; we can exist at 90 degrees, while also knowing we'll always have access to all degrees between 0-180 if we consciously choose to use those parts. With further growth, we realize we have access to 360 degrees of consciousness in our psyche, and then the dimensions expand from 2D to 3D; and we see ALL of ourselves within the context of our interpersonal relationship dynamics. I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOUR GROWTH!!!!
this is beautifully written!!
🎯
i love this analogy
Beautifully said!
Psilocybin is helping release and navigate traumatic grief and loss of my only child, my daughter Kaylah Orban at age 22. I have struggled with depression all my life and it’s helping realize so much more about Spirituality and Consciousness as well as Heal the past by releasing it. Thank you for sharing.
How amazing to see Dr. Huberman so obviously moved by his personal, guided, experiences with psychedelics. Yes, finally thanks to MAPS and Co. there will be an astounding clamor for how these medicines are profound in their scope of provoking self-reflection on what this life is about. May the availability come sooner than later. The healing will spread far and wide.
@Amelia Golden ?info? 😂
I’m really excited to see where the next decade takes us in this field. I’m glad to say that here in Australia from this coming July psilocybin and MDMA will be able to be accessed legally from licences psychiatrists for mental health issues. Very proud moment for us. First nation in the world to be doing so. This sets a precedent for the rest of the world.
Yep! I bet you'll have to jump through hoops to have access and I can almost guarantee your GP will have to get Government permission to treat anyone first as well, I have no idea though. Every Australian could do with a hero dose right now. Apparently 1 in 6 Australians have thought about suicide in the last year😢,( i have no idea how big the study was)
@@kerryangus3030 nah I don’t really think there will be any kind of hurdles like that, I think the part that will make it difficult will be getting in to see a psychiatrist without a 6 month waiting list because of how busy they all already currently are!
That is great! Gotta move to Australia!
> First nation in the world to be doing so
Ya know, other than all of the other ones where mushrooms were already legal
@@shardj5151 I'm talking about using psilocybin and MDMA legally in a therapeutic setting with psychologists etc. and not only in a trial setting. In those few places where mushrooms are legal to consume are they being used to help treatment-resistant depression? This is what I am referring to.
‘These compounds are going to change the arc of history’ Profound statement. Let’s make it happen.
We might want to consider getting the Medical Industrial Complex out of the way as a middleman (at least for anyone and everyone not in a clear and severely high risk mental condition). Trip sitter qualifications for 99% of the world: responsible-ish adult, sober, and awake.
The rest is pernicious money grabbing window dressing to enable the same industries that have saturated the world in ridiculous, designed to be habitual compounds (from lithium to benzos to SSRIs) that are either worthless, beneficial but addictive, or some combo of these).
Your.body. Your mind. Your consciousness. Your soul. Life is risk. Ingest whatever you like. Build whatever process to maximize the therapeutic potential, including professionals, but don't allow these powerful compounds to be doled out by the dastardly folks selling obesity drugs, statins, Vioxx, etc etc etc. Somehow, they'll fuck up a good thing and in the most idealistic scenario imaginable, they're drive the cost up 100x or more as the carve out there latest pound of flesh from a beleaguered, confused, depressed, traumatized global population.
Think about it..
hearing it said in those exact words gave me goosebumps... it is most definitely true
Paul Stamets needs to be added to that list as well. He has paved the way for much research in mycology.
I’m not sure that he hasn’t disgraced himself by selling supplements.
Agreed. And what about Terence McKenna? 🤔☺
He just had a newly discovered Mushroom named after him. Psilocybe Stametsii!
@@pcaul8156 he sold garbage quality stuff, mycelium on grain instead of whole fruiting bodies.
@@TheCALMInstitute Paul sells top quality mushroom supplements that fulfil a great need. He is not just about Psilocybin. He is about all things mycelia.
My youngest teenage son seemed to mature almost over night early last year. Then I noticed him meditating. In talking with him I learned he had tried some mushrooms and it had changed his reality. The way he described it was to let go of everything and see it without any bias. I've been wanting to try them ever since. All this stems from my "stuck" son who is so depressed he can sleep for 16 hours a day sometimes.. I think mushrooms are quietly changing our world.
hey question what kind of mushroom did he use and how much i really wanne try this for my depression
@@brb6769 PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS
Isn't it fantastic that instead of fear, now insight and knowledge actually determine the way we as humanity now look at these psychedelics and discover their meaningful uses! Great interview, holy smokes! I bet McKenna, Hofmann and Shulgin are smiling, watching all of this unfold, from the heavens🙏
Music in the distance, slowly coming in, followed by an instrumental period, then a transition out. If only there was an electronic version of that, that thousands of people across the globe felt magically connected with each other while listening to it.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Yes, bergwilly11
Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.
bergwilly11 is the best, he's been my go to for anything psychedelics.
@Micheal Harris Yes he is. bergwilly11
Wow, this is amazing. I’m a 58 year old lady who has suffered with severe depression and chronic suicidal ideation for half a century and have just recently been using cannabis to help unravel some of my issues and this gives me even more hope of a better life. ❤
What is it that wants or hopes for a better life? It may be that what wants or hopes or fears is the thing that dies during deep psychedelic inquiry. Then the grasping or striving or searching ends and nourishment comes without effort...without one even knowing. ❤
I convinced my mom who has never done drugs or ever been drunk (she’s 68) to do mushrooms.
Truly what she needed. She said she wished all her friends could experience it. She called it “ a reset.”
I know personally it was one of the most needed and meaningful experiences I had ever had.
I would go every 6 months or so and do 3.5G alone, with intent.
I have no need anymore but do see the mass benefits.
It’s here on our earth for a reason. ❤
Same here. Great benefit for me when done with good resposnible intentions. I dont need to do them anymore either but i can reset if needed
Or just microdose frequently
What where how
Is it a center that u ho to
@@katemccrew no I just did it at my house with my mom. With myself I would go and stay in a hotel for a night. I like to set an intention and then go and be alone. Eye mask and headphones 🎧 and just let whatever needs to come, come.
If there was fear and you would want to be supervised I know there are some people who offer to “trip sit” and you would rent an Airbnb and have your experience there. They usually would supply what you need as well.
My son bought me a book called “The psychedelic explorers guide.” Could be helpful if you are just starting out.
I'm living in San Francisco, and the sheer number of people living on the streets who would have access to MDMA therapy would just be absolutely transformative to the whole city.
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 gone , 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.
Eek I’m autistic too and might wanna try mushrooms. How do I go about it?
Yeah doc.brentttt is your guide. Man is exceptional with anything psychedelics.
Hello Can he be reached on IG?
Yes doc.brentttt
We need to extend the conversation to 5MEO-DMT (from the Sonoran Desert toad) as well. This medicine brought a spirituality to my life that has greatly improved my day to day. Great talk!
We have known that psilocybin used with the proper dosage and intention is a gift in a big way since Ram Dass and Timothy Leary. You have been limited by your institution in exploring it, at least mentioning publicly. The handcuff of institutions. Your influence keeps growing 👁️🙌 Ben would be proud.. This is a big one.👁️
I'm just now hearing of this stuff. Ben who?
Just had psilocybin treatment in Ashland, Oregon. It ended three years of PTSD, grief, depression and anxiety in one session. I lost three years of my life with trying sooooo many other things that didn’t work. This fucking worked! It should not be illegal. Legalize it immediately and get people some help and some peace!
What kind of dose was required for such a treatment? I see all kinds of suggestions, but I do wonder what clinical treatment uses, dose-wise.
Hey buddy! I'd point you to this legit source I got shrooms, dmt, ayahuasca and other psychs
@@adammiller2518Hey buddy! I'd point you to this legit source I got shrooms, dmt, ayahuasca and other psychs
psychedelics saved my life. i wish my grandpa who died of depression had access. thanks tim for being one of the first people to get me thinking about them. and thanks andrew for all your work and influential conversations. you both have helped me so much!
Ayahuasca and psilocybin saved my life. These conversations are so important to reach those who really need it
Psycedelics have helped me alot, I was already a pretty open minded person,but before doing psycedelics I didn’t believe in a higher power but they helped me breakthrough a lot and confirm a lot of things that I believed to be true,
So it made you believe in GOD?
Dr. Please consider doing a teaching topic on Pysylocybin for Brain Cloudiness from long haul Covid. Tks
Thanks to both of you for making this more known. The used dosage (equals about 3g dried psilocybe cubensis) is not yet heroic dose, but high enough to push trough most of defense mechanisms.
Psilocybin has helped me a LOT, especially those higher dose introsprect trips, and also low dose nature trips.
(Also had a so called "horrortrip" because I wasn't able to let go... so it's not allway fun)
Hopefully Psilocybin assisted therapy will be No.1 treatment for depression.🙏 Can safe many lifes.
I truly appreciate the changing conversation around psychedelics and I am grateful for anyone who keeps doing the important pioneer work to show people their true nature and potential. That said, a few things that were said in this talk don't sit quite right with me.
Thanking the people who pushed for legal research, etc. is very much warranted and important. But imo it's just as important to thank the people who've risked their freedom and in some cases even their lives to bring these substances to the people while a large portion of the population condemned them due to their own misconceptions. We also have to thank the people who truly pioneered the research throughout the past century, both legally and illegaly. Those who weren't afraid to stand by their experiences and beliefs in the face of massive negative propaganda.
The emphasis on only taking these compounds with licensed medical personell, while aiming at harm reduction and safe use, which is commendable, doesn't do reality justice. I've had massively therapeutic, transformative experience with psychedelics with some good friends out in nature and to me that is still one of the best possible settings one could wish for. Of course not everyone is lucky enough to have friends they can be 100% themselves and vulnerable around and I get that even today being very careful about how you communicate your stance around this topic is important, but I couldn't let that stand on its own.
I think the emphasis of using these as medicines in a professionally regulated environment comes from caution. Caution not to awaken the fear of the powers that be (corporations, government, inherent human conservativism "it's always been classified as dangerous for as long as I and my parents remember so it must be dangerous"). It needs to be a step by step process, starting with proven, publicly repeated over and over again therapeutic successes until it can start to become truly socially acceptable. This is to avoid another big crackdown Nixon style.
Nicely put, I agree very much. One thought I had, reading your comment: could it be, that even in this phase that we're in, concerning psychedelics and for the sake of creating public support, it would be wise NOT to overstate the recreational use but rather the therapeutic use first?
I mean, coming from condemnation and labelling, maybe the contrast to openly advocating for recreational use might just be one step too far, imho.
Again, don't get me wrong, I 100% relate to your experience, I have had the great fortune of having the greatest experiences myself also with like-minded friends on both MDMA and psilocybin and unless contra-indicated for medical or psychiatric reasons, I would in fact recommend anyone to also have these experiences outside of a controlled, "therapeutic" setting, because imho, these compounds bear in themselves the therapeutic qualities already 🙏
@@1samm1 my thought exactly 😉👇
"licensed medical personnel" were the ones carrying out mk ultra, abusing large numbers of psychiatric patients and using these substances in the development of the USA's torture program during the 60s. I fail to see how being part of the medical establishment is at all related to being trustworthy or a good therapist
I LOVE this convo!! I'm late to the game too because I used to believe psychedelics would threaten my sobriety with alcohol so I just considered them off limits (plus they kinda scare the sh!t out of me after a huge mushroom dose I had as a teenager...). Now I realize that actually these visionary plants have the potential to heal a lot of what was under so many of our alcohol addiction in the first place; trauma, anxiety, depression...
So yea, the recent data helped me change my mind. And so a few months ago, at 13 years sober from alcohol, I went to Peru and drank ayahuasca for the first time. And honestly I don't think it would have been possible to heal and evolve in the way that I have from ayahuasca with any other healing modality. There's something deeply profound, beyond words, to experience what seems like existing as consciousness traveling through dimensions without a body, mind, personality, identity... and then come back. It really puts everything in a new perspective and has left me feeling very empowered.
Here we've got LSD, DMT, chocolate bars, shrooms varieties, psilocybin, best therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, BIPOLAR, PTS, we ship internationally
Believe it should be said: the REAL HEROES of this story are the Indigenous practitioners, shamans and medicine men/women that have not only had the courage to preserve the medicinal plant practices of their culture in the face of insurmountable challenge and existential threat from outsiders, but also the wisdom, grace and humility to pass the knowledge on to those same interlopers despite all the violence and hostility they have endured.
Much love and respect for the original stewards of plant medicines, as well as those who continue to bear the torch 💕
Very very well said thank you🙏🏻
I’m also surprised he didn’t mention Fadiman ? Among those heroes holding the torches. Really he grandfathered the whole Microdosing movement starting in the 60s and wasn’t he at Stanford too? I thought it was odd that he wasn’t mentioned on that shortlist. Excellent clip though
Absolutely beautifully said thank you
Andrew and Tim are such a gift to humanity. What an exciting time.
Where could I find a guide on how to use psilocybin therapeutically?
Free therapy section
Mdma showed me I could love myself at 17, when things in school and at home were really tuff. To know that you can love yourself is a blessing! Love the nighties :)
From my personal experience with cosmonuating the psylocybin experience i did get the most theraputic benefits from closed eyes controled setting with a kit of grounding mechanisms,personal safety anchors and specifically solfeggio frequencies from instrumental guitar music.these controled experiences were extremely transformative and helped me in the domain of social relatedness and empathy,confidense with people and it seems to help dissolve alot of fear.i fear less and thats the most important!
Hi everyone. I did psilocybin last night for the first time. I'm 19 YR.
And trust me its like you reach out to everything you always wanted. Its like you meet the divine energy and higher power. And that loving energy comes from the mind. And that blows your mind. Its like there is absolutely no past , now , or future. Time doesn't mean anything if U R on the right does.
Brother what dose exactly?
Psychedelics we're one of the major things that helped get off opiates...It made me fully aware of what I was doing and helped me change
Congrats ❤ happy for you! Keep it up
It’s about time that people are allowed to try things to help their lives, when other things don’t help.😊
we always have.
I'm so happy to hear Andrew change his stance. I was confused when he was against psychedelics.
Talks like these are instrumental to the “bending of the arc” that Tim mentioned. These things are powerful and not to be conflated with the broad category of “drugs” that people use solely to have a good time or escape real problems. Psilocybin is powerful and has been very important in my own growth and development and I can’t wait for more to be discovered about these mystical mushrooms.
I've found listening to enlightening discussions more impactful when on psilocybin.
Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress..saved my life.
Does Mr Winston ship?
Yes, he ships discreet and anonymous
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I reach out to Mr Winston for guidance?
sure!! he is the best mycologist i would recommend for you😊
Psychedelics should be done when you are in a right state of mind, but many abuse it…
Set and setting is crucial!
Psychedelics have the potential to make a significant impact on mental health issues like anxiety and depression. They've been incredibly helpful for me personally.
I've been wanting to give it a go, but I'm struggling to find a reliable source.
dr.scottshroom is your guy. The best shrooms and psychedelics guy I know.
How do I reach out to him? He on instgram??
I tried golden teachers for the first time, and it was an amazing experience.
Psychedelic mushrooms really made a positive difference for me in dealing with addiction and depression. They've had a significant impact on my mental well-being, surpassing the effects of antidepressants.
FINALLY! WE ARE SO GLAD Dr. Huberman has kept an open mind, did his research into the modern research, and shared what he has learned! No mention of Dr. Paul Stamets? The Stamets Stack to treat neuropathy via neurogenesis.
NN DMT helped me go through a 30 years never ending mourning of my grand mother. Instantly! I can't explain what happened in my brain. But I have to say I am happy I found it
Kind of amazing how if you take something that kills the ego, you can actually process stuff you've been stuck in for too long.
I'm just glad everyone is starting to wake up. It's very hard to control people if they are robbed of tools of enlightenment.
Just want to say thank you Andrew. I've been listening to you more these days. It's fun for me being a psychologist to listen to a neuroscientist.
I can't fathom why Psilocybin is illegal in places, the peace you can get from such a small does is immeasurable.
Yet people can walk into any store and buy a drink that will potentially make them violent with a high probability of hurting someone or worse and this is fine.
I had a most amazing spiritual trip that I will never forget. Then the next trip was pure hell. I finally came down. A week later the panic, fear, and delusions came back on me suddenly and stayed for weeks. I coukdnt sleep, eat, or function. So be very careful, bad trips can ruin you.
I was at the first VETS fundraiser in SD. I never bothered to come say hello as I respect people's privacy. I appreciate that both you and Andrew were present to show your support and I look forward to saying hello in the future. Your voices are so important to cracking apart the paradigm of negative info surrounding these plant medicines.
MDMA literally changed my life. I'm lucky to not have any psychological issues but after one session I was a different, and better person.
I work with a treatment team that offers this and the results have been so compelling ❤
Where is that treatment place Jessica ?
Really excited to see where this goes!! I have severe anxiety and ocd and would love a cure.
Psilocybin mushrooms have been a part of my peoples culture, religion and history for 2,000 years. My family and I are proudly keeping our heritage alive and every summer solstice we celebrate.

@TRIPCLAN
I had an experience with a high dose of Mushrooms (almost 4 grams).
It was not a pleasant trip (I "died" several times, among other strange experiences), but after I've ended up with a solid idea: suicide has no sense.
So, yes, psychedelics can be a strange but good way to deal with depression and related negative mind states.
Why did you come to the conclusion that suicide had no sense?
Shrooms brought me out of my depression from my grandpa passing away. Grandpa died March 2023 and I took the shrooms on NYE still thoroughly depressed. Can’t explain it, but I felt reborn and just okay again as soon as I came down. Crazy stuff, no more necessary for me. That was a hell of an experience overall

Thats great, but what I would love to hear more about is the subjective change of daily moods of people who has tried microdosing, because thats what I would try as I do not want to experience a "trip" but just a small increase in my daily well being and mood.
Does wonders for my PTSD from shootings and trauma drama… Amen. 🙏🏽
I acquired mine from an online dmt psychedelic store they ship discreet¿?¿
They're on Instagram and telegram as>>

Nothing but good things to say about this clip…AND, the high emphasis on medicalization and use for psychiatric conditions is a bit narrow ❤
The critical scope of his profession is narrow. He's not sharing personal opinion. He's sharing professional opinion.
Psychedelics changed my life for the better. Love the link to music. I ended up learning how to play guitar because of how euphoric music was during those experiences lol.

they have the best psychedelic edibles and ships discreetly to any location.
The great thing now is how much knowledge is available to we lay people. Bet we're ahead of most professionals. Not because we're smart but we haven't the "disadvantage" of old school teaching. Probably if I had spent all that money and time getting that paper, I'd stand by it also.
I started microdosing on some days about a year ago and it's changed my life. You can get the benefits without tripping.
Whst dose ?
@@davidboyle1193 Ok. I'm going to start a channel at some point, under a different name, but I can go over it a bit here. The way I see it there are three different levels of microdosing psilocybin. There is the level where it isn't perceptible, which would be .1 to .15 (all in grams). There is the level where you can tell but it won't be highly altering, which is .2 to .35. There is above that where it's about more of an experience, but not full on like heroic doses, which would be around .4 to .8. As far as where you choose within these ranges, it's about your tolerance, and that will go up and down very quickly. So, as an example, if you are doing level two, maybe you start with .2 on day one, and by day four in a row you do .3. It's important to understand with microdosing small amount changes are a big deal. What I just mentioned is a 50% raise. I personally think level two is where you need to be for really big physical effects, and that's why the few studies into microdosing haven't been successful here yet (they demand imperceptibility so as to conduct double-blind placebo studies). I, also, am a very strong believer in only doing it about half the days, and remember after days off your tolerance is going to go way down.
@@davidboyle1193 Tim Ferriss deleted my reply. .2 grams. Only do about half days. I had a much longer explanation.
The pioneers are the shamans that have been facilitating these treatments for hundreds of years! This realm will be just fine with you or without you guys.
@Glowi Main buy ?? Buy plants and medicine that everyone can grow ??
Indigenous People always have known the Truth, and the Truth of Nature. The West is far behind.. Which explains the disconnect and spiritual warfare in America. Your right.
Thanks for this video! Love Andrew and it's so interesting to hear this. Would love to be able to do theraphy in Argentina with MDMA
@EsteemGallagher042 ??
Nothing better then an open mind
true, provided your not to gullible
I had great experiences with LSD. Still have great experiences with psilocybin once every couple of years
Don't forget to respect the mushrooms, Golden Teacher basically,they have some very powerful potential. I just did about 7g on 4/12/2023 and it went well actually but barely escaped a bad trip.
It is absolutely beautiful how people talk so many things about psychedelic and magic mushrooms too..
Everyone focused on how magic mushrooms can change and also save lives.. I haven't try it but I deep down I really what to try it.. just looking for a reliable source..
Psychedelics drugs should be used
When people are in their right state of mind, alot of people abuse them..

Not so hard, just find someone who sells it close to you.
@emmyjohnson8022
Don't really know how to get one, new to all this.
You got anyone who sells?

I wholeheartedly agree. I’m a 54 yr old mother of 4. I’ve taken 🍄 half a dozen times over the last 40 years and each time my empathy for myself has grown exponentially. I also have a way more fun and lighthearted view of life 😍
Whats so sad I am a combat vetran and struggle with quite a bit and I wish I had the ability to try some of these treatment modalities. Maybe one day 😔
You can still try them out

Thanks!!
But where does one go for this therapy? Are there recommendations on good, vetted therapists and facilities?
VERY interesting potential, Some details will be great. What type and grade of trauma? How is a clinican guided session looks like, etc… We all wanna help ourselves and our communities…
The fact that pharma wants to eliminate the " experience " of these natural medicines would make them ineffective it is in my experience a large part of the healing process
I am new to the psychedelics and have only tried psilocybin for a couple of months now. In my career as a hairdresser I have seen and heard so much traumatic stories of my clients and I truly beleive that combined with the right doses, education on the matter and some deep work integrating music, journaling thoughts after each session and a few other tools that psychedelics have the power to heal humanity and this world. It has really helped me accept my negative self talk and thoughts due to ADHD. Lets hope we are smart enough to have a open mind.
I know I have a high level of control to not become dependent on anything particularly drinking (which I don’t enjoy much anyway) but psychedelics saved my creative life and mental health. You have to respect the science and not abuse of it and that’s how you become functional while respecting it.
I micro dosed mushrooms after fighting depression for over 7years, being incapable of work for the last 2years.
In shot summary I became depression free within a couple of months and still I'm 6months later it saved me.
I have been looking to get my hands on mushrooms since growing isn't an option for me Anyone know where I can get the source??_
@@WooodThyes he's Dr.jeffshroom ❤
@@Tina-hb7ecI really get happy anytime I see people talking about dr jeffshrooom, he is the best All pure psychedelic and shrooms I get from him
DMT was the best trip I had , first time was crazy but the second experience was amazing .
@@FranklinDiverse-lm6mjThis has got my interest, is the person reliable am eager to get some GT and does he ship??
And acid trip saved my life, totally corrected my ill thinking... It helped me let go of guilt I didn't even realize I was carrying..
For most of us who have “traveled” these paths there was NOT a SINGLE clinician or therapist anywhere near us at ALL in ANY WAY and we’ve known this for THOUSANDS of years. If you think we’re waiting on the “experts” for permission you’re delusional, utterly. “Turn on, tune in, drop out”-Dr. Timothy Francis Leary
This is an important podcast. Thank you, thank you, thank you! After going deep into the massive benefits and miniscule risks associated with entheogens and fungi specifically, I dedicated a big part of my life to understanding the safely and efficacy of these gifts . And while direct medical supervision is an important route for some, it is not the only safe route and often it is not the best route. Safety of the explorer is of primary importance, but (as stated) mushrooms in particular have an infinitesimal risk of dangerous experiences or abuse, and like all other classics, a near zero risk for addiction. And while some people will need close supervision due to cognitive and or emotional challenges, the bulk of the adult human population, with (the correctly phrased term) "appropriate supervision", would see benefits ranging from simple to profound. How is this not fundamentally a good thing?
The importance, no, the criticality of Set and Setting of higher dose experiences (microdosing is another topic for another time) cannot be overstated and was prior to more recent studies, was routinely dismissed, or at least diminished by those in the medical community who studied this space with no personal experience to draw on. We need to learn from those lessons as we go forward in a discerning and measured way.. There are few things in our world that have the net positive impact that these medicines have, and we were repeatedly robbed of their benefits when the church and then the government persecuted those who understood these gifts. As hyperbolic as it might sound, we are at a crucial time in human history. A time where we can begin to apply these profoundly beneficial compounds to the health and wellbeing of people all over the world for pennies on the dollar. I hope we, the government, or the pharma industry don't screw it up....again. Mush appreciation! 🍄❤
A very articulate and intelligent overview of the research on psychedelics as a medical treatment. Great respect to Huberman for his work and his commitment.
For harm reduction sake you should probably update that conversion you did from psilocybin to dried mushrooms - it is wildly inaccurate.
In general, cubensis potency is 1% active alkaloids per gram, but can be higher than 2%. So a closer estimate of 25mg psilocybin is 2.5 grams dried cubensis- which is not a heroic dose. It is the high end of a normal dose.
Also this calculation is just for cubensis, pan cyans potency is way higher.
Whatever you do, do not take 5 grams thinking it is a solid estimate for 25mg of psilocybin. It is not. It could be more than double the intended dosage. Negative side effects increase after 30mg, with little increase in beneficial effects.
The fact that these professors were fired, paired with the fact that psilocybin is this thousands year-old plant that people have been using for such a long time just begs soooo many questions. How can we have a conversation about mental health if we can't place all the facts about the timeline properly? All of this stuff has to be looked into and then we can really have genuine and fruitful dialogue about what mental health is.
i had a different experience in highschool acid kind got me to get my act together to realize i can put forth thee effort and whent from failing two years to graduating 2 years years early and getting a job at a farm and ranch/hardware store to keep building my self
Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psylocybin in my area , I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance , I felt free , the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released , that's exactly what it did

i think joe rogan deserves a lot of credit for providing a platform for popularizing the idea of taking psychedelic intervention in order to navigate traumatic experiences. i've been a pretty straight arrow my whole life; i've consumed alcohol less than the number of fingers i have on my hands in my whole life. but making this stuff legal and accessible means there's a potential new perspective out there when it comes to the shitty experiences many of us have to carry with us
