What Psilocybin Does to Your Brain
-----
In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy delves into the fascinating effects of psilocybin on the brain. Learn what psilocybin is, how it affects different regions of the brain, including the prefrontal and visual cortices, and its impact on the default mode network, leading to phenomena like ego death. Discover the potential benefits of psilocybin for mental health, including its role in enhancing synaptic plasticity and its promising applications in treating conditions like PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction.
We also discuss the importance of set and setting in psilocybin sessions and highlight the potential risks and negative effects, especially for individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Psilocybin flipped the off switch on my social anxiety like a light switch. It's effect lasted long enough that I thought it permanent. My anxiety and doubts and lack of self worth was gone. Anything that can make you love yourself should be legal.
dr.martyshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
I find it funny if there's any psychedelic therapy there online
Of course , he is dr.martyshroom. Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was".
He's on instgram??
Picture of Amanita muscaria with the tag Psilocybin is so wrong
They just don't want you to actively forage for that particular mushroom so they displayed well known poisonous Amanita sp. 🍄
@@kevinclifton8276 I think if this was the case they should have mentioned it?
@@kevinclifton8276
Only poisonous if it is not prepared properly. There is a channel about them “aminata dreamer” or something similar
It is toxic, but there are ways of converting the more toxic Ibotenic acid into muscimol. As far as I know, the latter is less toxic, but I'm no expert!
Yeah, I noticed that too, but it is most people's idea of a mushroom. Psilocybe cubensis is much less attractive.
I have dealt with a crippling amount of social anxiety throughout my entire life. I took psilocybin with the expectations of having a fun visual trip for the first time, thinking nothing of how it would affect my brain. A week later, I noticed how much quieter things were in my head, and a lack of care for what others thought. Being around others is now just another part of my day, rather than a life or death fear.
I feel that, its helped me with my depression and my anxiety
I take mushrooms once or twice a year for that exact reason. Been doing that for 6 years give or take.
My last s*icide attempt was... 6 years ago. Hmmmmmmmmmm.....
Shrooms are incredible, I've had a few awsome times on them , happiness I never knew I could feel , a boner that wouldn't go away , it unlocks things in your brain you never would of thought were there.
I had a similar experience
Would it rid me of sx addiction? I've been with several hundreds of women and am still not satisfied.
Psilocybin mushrooms have definitely had a positive impact on my mental health. They've been really helpful for me in dealing with anxiety and depression.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source.
dr.scottshrooms is your guy. The best shrooms and psychedelics guy I know.
He's on instgram??
Yes
I had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great.
I was on 10 grams dry and experienced ego dissolution. I was in the space of "nowhere". only a thin red line kept me connected to the rest of the world. when it washed away, there was nothing left. then everything came back. and when there was nothing, it was as if I existed when I did not exist. it was "nothing". it's neither good nor bad. it is pure "nothing".
I don’t feel like repeating this experience, as if everything had already become clear to me. It became easier for me to live. less anxiety, less fuss. there was regularity. I began to notice such things as the sunrise from the window in the morning and enjoy it. as if old processes were rebooted.
With 10g i did not have ego dissolution but I just felt that my soul was shared with everyone else and that our individuality came from the limitations of physical world
Wooah I was born, lived a full life, died, and came back to life within 6 hours. Had a full on out of body experience from 3.5 grams. I was 16 and suicidal. Positive effects lasted over 10 years.
This sounds like the experiences of long-term meditators.
@@susanstewart1402 yes! Exactly my point. I used to meditate, and the effect from it somehow 0.01% of the average trip
@@VELVETPERSON I think that some people have more DMT naturally in the brain. Produced by the pineal gland, I believe. May explain some remarkable experiences and abilities people have shown in life and death situations.
With psychedelics, mindset is key. Don't fight it-embrace it. It will take you where you need to go.
My journey to recovery was aided by the therapeutic potential of mushroom
Psilocybin mushrooms show promise in supporting mental health.
Can I get em?
dr.melvinshrooms is the perfect fit for your needs.
Will he be On instgram?
Yea. he is dr.melvinshrooms
I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking mushrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD managed, lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
I have autism, I was diagnosed with it when I was 15. I tried shrooms and it made me function so much better.
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
I am autistic and as a result of late diagnosis I used to have debilitating social anxiety. After taking mushrooms It felt like I saw the social interaction and what was not working and afterwards it had tremendous effect on my social anxiety and improved my quality of relationship with people

Psilocybin helped me with my head injuries. And the very first time I did it, I realized everything is one, and all species live in symbiotic relations within this fractal universe we live in!
I love shrooms. I'm clean 4 years now. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without the help of psilocybin.
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I was diagnosed with cptsd since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.

Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Yes he is dr.porassss.
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
The insights I've gained from magic mushrooms have been invaluable. They've helped me understand myself and the world in a new way.
I've used magic mushrooms to overcome addiction and they've been a lifesaver.
The effects of magic mushrooms are like a reset button for my mind. They help me clear my thoughts and feel refreshed.
I've seen lots of positive reviews on mushies I'm really looking at trying them.. any idea?
I remember having some minor surgery years ago and at that point I had never done any kind of drug at all. I didn't even drink small amounts of coffee or alcohol. They hit me with an intravenous dose of Demerol and I felt worst so after my mushroom hit I found a better part of myself.

Psilocybin worked wonders in treating my crippling depression. They showed me what joy is, and how beautiful life could be.
Need
Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.
I micro dosed mushrooms after fighting depression for over 4years, 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.

It made me identify codependency and i was then mentally able to leave an abusive long term relationship. Thanks nature! 💖
Agreed! Thanks nature! And I'm happy things got better for you!
I tried psilocybin 2 times in my life. The first trip was 6 hours, the second was 5 hours. This is a feeling like no other. The state is as if we are not alone in this universe. I began to be more respectful of nature and animals. I cried at the end of the trip like a child because I was simply allowed to live on this planet. answered many of my own questions. Do this only with an experienced person. because a person is needed on this trip.
I've done it alone multiple times, the experienced person thing it's gatekeeping
@@jofla you a from ?
@@user-iu3nq9iu2w Chile
Having a trip buddy is a good and safe idea. I'm glad your trip was good.
Short answer. Childhood trauma impacts brain development. Hence mental health. Growing up with abusive parents wires you. Psychedelics unwires the trauma. Heals you.
I’m trying to convince my fiance to at least give it a chance his dad was very abusive to him, his older brother and his mom so yea I feel like it would help him so much
I've been micro dosing for a year and it's been absolutely a life changing experience. I'm so much more connected with my kids and I feel way less anxiety. I actually replaced my SSRI with this and have zero issues with the switch.
I went a year taking 4grams of psilocybin mushrooms once a week. It completely changed my life. I used to deal with depersonalization and derealization from my constant (heavy) marijuana use. Felt hopelessness I got to a point where I began to question the purpose of continuing to exist. My experiences on psilocybin were profound. It revealed so much to me. Cliche but it turned me into a man of God. I gave everything up and started going to church
You’re not alone on that. I did the same. Jesus is a good dude.
Idk if you're trolln. You took 4 grams of mushrooms every week for a year?!?!?! It takes me a week to snap out of a 3.5 gram trip. Also I feel that would drive one crazy and it is not necessary. You can receive all you need to realize from one good trip. The rest sounds recreational.
So you found god thru shrooms?
I became a Christian after a trip too. Wild.
@@NateJollayI became a Norse pagan after my trip, I met Odin and Thor 😂
I love your videos but the AG1 promo is off-brand for an evidence-based channel. Yeah, it won't hurt you, but that's just an expensive and incomplete multi-vitamin.
You are very correct. But someone has to pay the bills. This channel is over and above their normal day job, costs a lot to produce. So ignore the ad, and enjoy the content. Be rational.
@dannyswayze2133 I agree with you, and I usually skip over any ads, but if this isn't said then some people will trust what he says since this whole channel is based in evidence. You want to advertise something that you as the health content creator would trust. That's why AG1 reached out to him, because now the creator is risking his "fact based" reputation and they get this high esteemed individual promote their useless snake oil.
I left my body while on a trip. Felt like my soul was on a ballon and I could see myself and my friend who was driving us around. Definitely have consciousness outside the body.
Absolutely. Accounts of lucid dreaming, astral travel, out-of-body experiences also fit this description. Psilocybin opens some doorway in the mind.
“My soul was a balloon, my soul, came out of the socket.”
Connor McGregor
It’s nice when you hear a dr verify what you feel. For example I have always said I mentally feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest.
Psilo helped me more than I could wish for. I've been a functional addict for 14 years, stopped multiple times but each and every time the craving became so strong. One heroic dosage of mushrooms, it took me through hell and back for nearly 7 hours. I still felt it the weeks after. But I've been completely sober for 4 years now! Never felt any cravings since my psilocybine trip. It wasnt a fun experience at all but I'm glad I did it.
Was yours an opiate addiction? I'm addicted to opiates and I hear that mushrooms can help me overcome it.
@@Kaotik199O No in my case it was mainly weed & cocaine. But I'm sure mushrooms can help with opiates as well
@@Kaotik199O No in my case it was stimulants, but I'm sure that psilo can help with opiates as well (guess YT blocked my previous comment in which i named the stimulants)

Thanks for reaching out back to me though
So happy for you 🎊, psychedelics have huge untapped potential to heal❤
you need to be in a good headspace to do psychoactive drugs. there is a reason native Americans did chants and rituals first. you want a bad trip, do it randomly after work when you're stressed
Lmao bruh.
What is it with junkies telling people to do drugs? Are you trying to make others miserable like you?
@@Sun-diver You have obviously zero experience with psychedelics. People who use them are not "junkies." This person is offering rational advice, which is to exercise caution regarding circumstances and environment should someone decide to try it.

@@Sun-diver psychedelics aren't addictive. Feel free to look it up yourself.
Suffered from servere cluster headache for two weeks back in March. When I finally took 1 gram of psilocybe semilanceata, the pain faded away and my body could finally relax! That night I got 9 hours of interrupted sleep for the first time in 14 days.
I forage and grow them myself, but thankz botz. 🤓
@TH-bj1pb you home grow psilocybe semilanceata?
@@Streamcatcher No, sorry for not clarifying, but I've only grown cubes from spores.
Semilanceata I only harvest in autumn. Though I have them in my own lawn now, after watering it with semilanceata spores for a couple years lol :)
It definately improved mine. Now free of every other drug including sugar
How often do you need to “take the walk” to maintain your new thought process?
Would it free me from sx addiction? I've been with several hundreds of women and am still not satisfied.
I know an elderly woman who lost interest in sweet treats, coffee/tea, and obsessive knitting/crochet. The theme of psilocybin seems to be anxiety reduction so perhaps these substances, or any addiction really, is some form of self-medication for anxiety reduction. Psilocybin seems to reset some process in the mind. She is more calm than ever before, and much more clear in her goals. Funny.
@@juniordelgiorno5260 just when i feel like it nowadays. Usually 2-3 times a year. Can be acid aswell but then i have to be 100% sure about the acid and its origins. I can strongly recommend microdosing for some months that definately made a huge impact
@@ytsux9259 if you feel like it gets in the way for you in life then it might be worth trying but i really don't know. It can help release different addiction patterns for many people
I micro dosed psilocybin for about 3 months at 0.10 g and this stuff helped me feel my emotions but ALSO helped me focus SO much as someone who suffers with getting distracted. I would compare it a slightly less intense as aderall in that sense but almost equal focus enhancing effects.
I also ate 10g of it all at once one time and had quite the trip. The therapeutic qualities of these mushrooms cannot be overstated. I believe however the reason they are still a schedule 1 drug is because they help you question any sort of unreasonable authority which is a threat to the powers that be. Just a hunch.
Psilocybin helped me fully integrate from Dissociative Identity Disorder. The connecting effect it has helps rebuild the missing neural pathways between lobes and the hemispheres of the brain. The combo of shrooms and CBT/DBT techniques gave me the ability to be whole again. Words cannot describe how much of a blessing it is to be one person again, instead of a fractured shell within a shell.
Sounds like a dream come true
This is amazing!!!
wow! congratulations!
I have REALLY BAD anxiety and depression, like, life-alteringly, borderline handicapping anxiety and depression. Psychedelics help a lot. I haven't tried micro dosing because it seems like the research indicates the effect is mostly placebo. But in large doses, my trips help my suffering, in the moment, TREMENDOUSLY. Psychadelic trips may have saved my life. However, unfortunately for me, I have been unable to integrate the realizations and therapeutic breakthroughs I've experienced during trips into my everyday life, so I still experience a very rapid return to baseline mental illness.
Fortunately, psychedelics are non-addictive, and I am an addict in recovery, so if they were addictice, I would know. I just wish I could feel everyday like I do when I'm tripping, like everything is okay and everything will be okay.
I’m 100% convinced if everyone on earth tripped on mushrooms the same day, whatever crazy things might happen, afterwards “THE PROBLEM” would be solved.
I'm 100% convinced you are clueless. I've seen one friend commit suicide and another freak out seriously which lasted years afterwards with him riddled with crippling anxiety.
@@BigTimeRushFan2112
They had no guidance, sorry to hear that. Always learn about what you are doing before you do it. Especially something like this, these mushrooms must be respected properly.
@@NefariousMinds

@@BigTimeRushFan2112 you must have missed the part where I said whatever crazy things might happen.
Unless they had a bad trip a lot of people would be dead 😵
Tagging other mushrooms instead of actual psilocybin mushrooms is so misleading and can lead to ignorant interpretations and dangers especially foraging
Just wanna say this channel is gold
I'd like to touch on the schizophrenia topic. The interesting thing here is psilocybin doesn't get rid of their symptoms and yes it can trigger their schizophrenia, however there are some studies that say instead of the "voices or hallucinations" being negative and fearful, they are often times reported being more positive and loving when taking psilocybin
I'm waiting to see if the mushroom bots start commenting. 👀
"I was addicted to opiates for years until I found out about psychedelics. They cured me and I'm now 5 years clean. Never thought I'd be saying anything good about shrooms."
We're not bots. We're people whose lives were positively impacted by mushrooms.
00:10
That's not a psilocybin mushroom.
This one is called Amanita muscaria (Fly Agaric) and contains the psychoactive compunds ibotanic acid and muscimol.
The actives are doking at the histamin and gaba receptors.
I bet they got a fat paycheck for that "disinformation" lol
but this will never get a fact check other than us in the comments, that will be shadow banned 😂😂
they also probably did it because people can easily relate and identify them with the Super Mario Bros mushrooms.
@@deminybssounding a bit paranoid friendo. You're not shadow banned and I doubt anyone have them money for using a common mushroom picture haha
This needs more visibility. If anyone does not already know, DO NOT use these mushrooms expecting them to be psilocybin. They are very different mushrooms with very different uses
This is a great video and very well researched as always. I've never tried psilocybin but I hope I get the chance some day. I wouldn't take it recreationally for exactly the reasons you state but I also, fortunately, don't suffer from depression, so I wouldn't be eligible for it in a clinical setting. I hope someday this becomes more available, even in microdoses, for the general public. I think your channel is splendid and at a time when there is so much unreliable information on the internet it is a breath of fresh air. Well done.
What an awesome video! Well done.
Thank you for the information, and it was very interesting.
One thing i hate about comments in the videos about psychedelics is there are alot of bots and scammers telling to buy from them
Not all bro
top of the line content as usual, I'm glad to have watched this video cos it made a whole lotta sense and changed my perspective on previous trips I've had for the better, I'm also very impressed on how accurate them visual effects you've come up with correlate with the actual thing when tripping out it's too symmetrical and overall consistent but the idea is there with a lotta more chaos to it but yeah it totally checks out, absolutely dope stuff
As a warning from my experience, the Schizophrenia thing is real. I used mushrooms recreationally for a few weeks and it ended up triggering pretty severe Schizophrenia for a few months. I was lucky to recover eventually, but for a while it looked like I would never return to normal.
I love psilocybin, great video.
I wouldn't explain it any better yet I can confirm it can provide profound mystical experiences and visuals. 😊
If you got bad experience on it it's most likely that you have problem with yourself, not with psilocybin.
I see this video brought out all the drug addicts.
@@Sun-divercalm down, ur fingers might fall off from all the commenting buddy.
@@Sun-diverDude what is your problem? A bunch of adults talking about how they use a non-addictive plant based drug and you're getting all uppity. Do you get this way around people that drink coffee too?
I think you have some things to look at internally on why you feel this way about drugs and what that says about yourself.
I recommend you research more about psilocybin and make an informed comment back. You can start with the video you're commenting on
@@ElijahCem Lol, I’m not reading all that. Why are you being so sensitive? Are you on your period? Go overdose on something.
@@Sun-diver my thoughts exactly !
If you do mushrooms, do them in a room or environment you're comfortable in with people you trust, this avoids having a bad trip.
Don't do them in a public place cuz you will laugh at random things and you might start getting paranoid of people noticing you.
Start with a lower dose, say 3 mushrooms, and see how it makes you feel. Feel great? up the dose next time.
Mentalize yourself into accepting sensory changes, let them happen and don't fight them. Enjoy them!
You will see better, you will hear better, you will feel your mind opening, it's a wonderful experience... You will NOT see things that aren't there or have auditory hallucinations, you will stay in control of your mind and be aware of what you say and do at all times. You will remember your whole experience once the effects are gone.
Stay away from the Amanita Muscana, which is that red top mushroom with white dots. That is NOT psilocybin.
Don't do them too often (maybe once a month or two), if you do them too often you will quickly become immune and not feel any effect. This will be for life.
Definitely worth a try.
Do them in the woods 🌲🌲🌳🌳🌲🌲, mountains⛰️🌄🏞️ and bodies of water 🌊 . Also, listen to music 🎸.
immune for life? what makes you say that?
Thank you for sharing!
I would need to see some evidence of the claim that you can get immune to them before I believe that.
@@erockromulan9329 then go ahead and do them every day. I don't care
I've had varying levels of depression since my mid-teens. About a decade ago, I did a small dose (
I like to hike as well while tripping
Mushrooms more or less saved me. I made some shitty choices when I was younger that led to long term addiction and other fun consequences. All this left my brain a bit wonky. While I wouldn't say that I'm cured or back to "normal", the shroomies have helped to get me to a place that is very manageable. Definitely not for everyone but they are absolutely amazing on a few levels.
Im addicted to opiate pills... And I've heard that shrooms might help. Can you confirm this for me?
7.5 g helped me see that if I kept drinking. My girl would leave me. I'm alcohol free nowadays
Your videos are definitely good for my mental health🌝
I remember before I took it was extremely afraid of death, and the inevitability of it was always on my mind and prevented me from living. During the trip my two best friends sat on a roof with me, staring at the stars, and we talked about what life really is and how to make the most out of the time we have in this world because in the grand scheme of the universe we exist for just a flicker. It really helped me appreciate all that I have and I’ve really turned my life around because of it.
It's great to see positive things being said about psilocybin. The safety record of Imperial College and Johns Hopkins University are outstanding where psilocybin has been used, but it should only be used with trained guides and medical screening. If it's safe for you to proceed, the trips can be extremely challenging, but even more significant are the rewards on offer where someone "integrates" the experience - committing to change.
If you are out on your own, micro-dosing appears to deliver most of the benefits without worrying about your reaction .. especially the first time when you don't know how you will respond. Also, growing your own psilocybin avoids the problems of potential contamination inherent in purchasing from others.
Thanks for this information.
Psilocybin gives you enlightenment and makes you a fully realized human and its crazy that its illegal
That’s why it’s illegal. Less control of your psychology.
Oh but "they" will give the public all of the alcohol, tobacco and artificial sweeteners they can consume . . .With a "warning label" of course.

Silly thoughts, go back to work !
So much to say on this subject. I've tripped many times but I would so appreciate having a trusted professional look out for me and guide me to and through my darkest thoughts and memories. I've made massive breakthroughs by myself but it is extremely difficult to guide yourself whilst in that state. It would also be nice to have some of my thoughts vilified or challenged by an impartial observer.
Whilst this video had some down sides (fly agaric pictures and images with negative overtones in inappropriate places) I was otherwise impressed with how well put together it was. Great job guys!
I've only did a few times, but in my experience, I felt incredibly grateful. It makes you think about all the things people who love you have done for you, without you being aware. I had to call my mom a day after I recovered to tell her thank you, and that I love her lol. It does a lot more than make you feel grateful, but that was a particularly strong and positive experience for me. It felt nice to be reminded that people in my life do love me as much as I love them, and that I don't need to feel so anxious about my attachment to them.

I took about 3.5 grams once and we were listening to reggae music at my friends who has textured walls when all of the sudden all the texture on the walls came together to form two Jamaican guys with dreads that started dancing to the music all around the walls I couldn’t stop laughing it was the best mushroom experience I’ve ever had. I prefer to micro dose now big trips take a lot of energy out of you mentally.
Yes they do. Good ones boost your quality of life. Hard trips can send you into a spiral of doom if not processed correctly.
I love you guys! ❤ Great videos. Can you talk about LSD and MDMA?
excellent presentation of this topic 👍
Great Video!!!!!
Is it possible to microdose with mushrooms like it's done with LSD? Perhaps, what I want to know is if it's possible to achieve the same positive results?
I was thinking the same thing.
Asking for a friend?
I'd like to know which one is better, more effective and less addictive. I suffer of social anxiety and would like to be less coy and more sociable, more "daring" if I can say that...
@@affordpdr5113You can get them from Charlesmyco and mostly lion's mane and it seems effective and affordable.
He's on instagram.
My mother was in your class Saturday and didn’t know who you were LOL you gave her an art piece of a brain LOL
Yo please more about this subject.
Love to to see it

Take a mushroom and grab a star. Yoshi is there for you during your trip.
i had severe PTSD since early childhood. i used to experience strong dissociation and depersonalization. once i started healing the dissociation still happemed but without me being scared or trying to control it. so id just melt away and experience ego death while sober. it's not unpleasant but i wouldnt seek it on purpose.
Psilocybin is such a gift to mankind. Was very unhappy/depressed in my late 20’s. Studied psychedelics for two years before my supportive wife picked up on my wanting to try it to help with my issues. She ended up getting me some randomly. Incredible transformation. My wife and father had a lot to do, with their support. What it does is makes you realize you don’t have a long time to live, it shows you what’s wrong with your life, what you’re doing wrong and what’s wrong with the way you’re treating people. It allows you to release your grief one session at a time. At some point you will be much better aligned with life. You’ll find that you don’t need it because you already know what you need to do. The experience itself is beautiful and incredible, even the hard trips that show you how bad a person you can be/have been. It will never get old, how beautiful and bizarre the visuals are. Nothing is like it. Great set and setting, amazing music, blindfold, in a dark room for 6-8 hours is a fantastic way to discover the experience and yourself. I highly recommend the experience for discovery and improvement. Absolutely incredible. ❤️
I really enjoy your show, Thank You!
Awesome video! Can you do one on Ibogaine? One treatment of that gave me my entire life back.
What is Ibogaine? Pls
I use shrooms for my mental health so I am interested to know what it is

Great video. I would have like you to touch on micro dosing
Well presented, thank you!
The video is amazing thank you. I have severe ptsd and this is a topic that has been helping in a lot of ways. You have to dive into the world of micro dosing next. Instead of taking the dose your talking about you take a fraction of that dose. It’s has a lot of benefits as well. I’d love to see what y’all think of that side of the oomies.
I tried it a couple of times and can testify that it really Helped me with long term depression that i had
I have now a much more positive view of life and am more social than before
Shrooms should be legal IMO
Also I dont think 5g of shrooms is a high dose, the first time i took it was 5g and i just made me energetic but very relaxed
Second time i tried i did 10g and thats when the profound thoughts kicked in and the feeling of conection with others
My mental health can't get worse so why not..
Make sure you have a experienced tripsitter. Someone you trust. Hopefully the psilocybine is able to help you.
well, if you actually have a family history of severe mental health issues, it could actually make it worse or trigger an episode
It requires prep to work well. Prep should include therapy and mindfulness to reduce anxiety paranoia or create awareness about sources of depression. There is lots to do to prepare
@@mel3256
Nonsense!
Take them immediately.
Take them frequently. The "elites" get the BEST shrooms all for themselves.
Everyone is taking mushrooms. That is a GOOD thing. Remember PEACE and LOVE?
The government hates the idea that we would like to remake the world with L-O-V-E.
They hate FREE THINKERS. They think they should think for you. They say, "mushrooms are bad".
Are they? How? Then they will FRIGHTEN you to KEEP you under CONTROL. Is that any way to LIVE?
So get as many mushrooms as you you are able. Pass them out to friends.
The government is very busy slaughtering perfectly decent people because we LET them do it.
WE PAY THEIR SALARIES. They are OUR EMPLOYEES. NOT our "leaders". They are MORONS.
This same government would love to control your MIND...your CONSCIOUSNESS...your SOUL.
Does that sound like the kind of future that you want for yourself? Your family? Your friends?
And NO. We will not be VOTING our way out of this one. Sorry.
This time, everyone will have to get off their asses and PARTICIPATE.
A STUPID POLITICAL PARTY WILL NOT HELP YOU AT ALL! Get real.
Now that they have killed all those innocent children in Gaza...
...they have their eyes set on killing your children.
They hate "mushrooms". They hate Jesus. They hate you. They really despise me.
I was born before they could program me with their bullshit.
I am the original anarchist. The one they cannot stand.
Me and my "friends" are always up for a "good time".
Are you? Are you ready to spit in their eyes?
They need the tears. They NEVER cry.
If you take mushrooms...you may cry...
...tears of joy. Is that such a bad thing?
So get ready for an "interesting" summer.
These clowns in D.C. have absolutely no idea that the revolution is HERE.
Too late to stop us now. They "blew" it. They got sloppy.
WE FOUND the paper trail. Now we find the weakest link.
When we break that guy...
...we'll know ALL about September 11.
Then what?
Stay tuned.
I hope the best for you.
Interesting and Science based vlog from the Insitute of Human Anatomy channel. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent presentation! Thank you.
I've started microdosing with psilocybin and with it I was able to get off 4-5 prescribed meds that were not helping at all
Im addicted to opiate pills... And I've heard that shrooms might help. Can you confirm this for me?
@@Kaotik199O the only thing they may help with in regards to coming off opiates is the anxiety. It won't help with nausea/ diarrhea
@@Kaotik199OProbably font take advice from randos on UA-cam, I'd recommend doing a bunch of research online. Keyword psychonautics
@@Kaotik199O I'm not sure about that but I used kratom to get off opiates
The psilocybin content depends on whether the shrooms are dried or not. 3.5 grams of dried shrooms will give you a more intense trip than 3.5 grams of undried mushrooms.
Actually, it's not that predictable. There's a new pre-published study, which is sparking a more extensive investigation, done by a lab in Oakland. The gist of it is that Psilocybin can start to break down in some varieties of shrooms after 3 - 6 months. So the bigger study is to look at more examples, across more varieties and to look into the effect of variations in temperature, light, humidity, etc.. In general, some shrooms may get more powerful or concentrated, but many are likely to get weaker over time. Your best bet is still to probably be working with relatively fresh shrooms, but anything done outside of a clinical study is a bit of a crap shoot. Even so, at least there is no identified toxicity level that has been discovered.
0:10 "Psilocybin"

Very well done
9:26 I've actually always experienced some mild form of synesthesia myself where I associate musical tones with visual colors. For example middle C is a bright red color, and E above middle C is kind of a bright pink.
I did as a child, some words had colors. Towel was a blue green, the name Betty was a buttercream white. I missed it when it stopped.
I didn't realize I was a synesthete until trying mushrooms. Then I suddenly realized why I'd colour coded things in the way I had. It was mind blowing and has impacted me every day since trying mushrooms the first time. It also allowed me to analyse my apartment and throw out items which were coloured in ways that don't help me as a person.
I have been using and organizing magical sessions with the golden teacher variety for others for two years now.
From my experience, I have found that the golden mean formula works here
0.05 x (your weight) = ideal dose.
For example: your weight is 70 kilograms. 0.05 x 70 = 3.5 grams dry. at this weight, you are most likely to have a harmonious and light Trip. I weigh 85 kg, and my sweet spot is 4 grams dry. It's always a great pleasure to have a consistently high-quality Trip once a month.
This formula can be used not as a clear instruction, but as a “vector to which you can strive,” since everyone has a different metabolic rate
Thank you kind person. This helps a lot actually.
Love this topic!!! ❤❤❤❤
I tried that twice ❤ I got a headache first time or loved it , I felt nothing but love 💖
0:10 - but the active compound in fly agaric is Muscimol, very different from Psilocybin!
this error makes me want to puke. i am overwhelmed by the rampant incompetency in this country.
They just don't want you to actively forage for that particular mushroom so they displayed well known poisonous Amanita sp. 🍄
@@kevinclifton8276 now people actively searching for one type would forage wrong type and get another kind of trip (trip to the hospital, most commonly)
It's a stock photo of a mushroom. Maybe they couldn't find a stock one of psilocybin mushrooms?
@@clarencethomas01 you really believe that? No proper photos whatsoever, riiiiight
Only a couple of minutes in but already a couple of glaring and potentially dangerous errors.
1. At the beginning, that's a picture of amanita muscaria, which does not contain psilocybin and can be quite dangerous.
2. Psilocybin is not an hallucinogen. It's a psychedelic.
Feel like it activates certain parts of the brain so much more than are typically used, it has the ability to boost it’s function considerably
My adventures with it have been positive, it helped me get past my depression, relieved anxiety, helped quit other drug addictions, helped me be more social and open and gave life an overall better look, as if grey glasses were taken off finally. This all took years tho and so far I've had about 1 trip per year but it does feel like depression keeps coming back. Every time I take them, I set out some topics I want to get through, to somehow better life and it feels like I end up rebuilding some parts of my brain what in turn has left me questioning who or what even am I at this point, I'm not even close to what i was before taking them
Serious question: do people have near-death experiences solely because of a release of DMT by the body at or around death?
I think so.. I think it's responsible for alien abduction stories also Rick strassman has a book inner paths thru outer space where it compares DMT experience to UFO abduction experiences and they are identical
Nobody knows ... yet
I don't see how this is considered a schedule 1 drug when it helps more than destroy
I microdosed a few times on mushrooms and it helped me realize some connections in my life I needed to cut off. I went and blocked a few people and my anxiety and depression became manageable. I also have ASD and ADHD. I’ve never felt as good as I do now. 10/10 would recommend. But make sure there is someone there bc it can turn depressing during the trip.
It wasn't a microdose if you were tripping
Like I said after my first trip " everyone need to try this " I feel as if not just the depressed or anxious can see a benefit but every one can. I think this is what referred to as the third eye. After just one dose ur perception of reality will forever be change for the positive. Bad trips? No such thing. U just entered a part of ur mind ur scared to think about but is probably the most important thing to address.
The human body is so fascinating and deep. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Well the mushroom I just asked said no, so...
Is gingy really hooked on cocaine? 🤞🏼 thank you cool people that use their brains without apologies
Everyone who have a bad trip was self induced. They dont understand that they are responsible for that bad trip. All they have to do is focus on something they prefer.
For me, I basically lost my anxiety after tripping once on a micro dose. Like, it was the single best experience I’ve ever had; I know some people get scared of ego death, but for me it was such a peaceful, soothing feeling to know that it’s not that deep. I felt unity, like I swear I could feel the electrical fields of other living things, it was like a web of life that I wasn’t simply connected to, I was a part of. I also had no concept of fear or negative emotions, I was just so at peace and knew that whatever happened, everything was going to be okay. 10/10 would recommend, I felt like a new person with a lot more energy
I took a big dose of psilocybin and got a bunch happier for about 6 months, and a while after that I fell into the most awful mental space of my life. I had disturbing intrusive thoughts, experienced derealisation, severe depression, and frequent panic attacks. These are all things I'd never experienced in my life prior, and thankfully now 2 years later I've moved past that awful chapter of my life. My friend who I also introduced to mushrooms at the time eventually had a psychotic episode and ended up in a mental asylum for 3 months.
Please be careful. It's true that mushrooms boost your mood for a few months, but they are just too unpredictable - and that might not be all you get.
What dosage did you take?
@@Don-pk2uy 4g dried. I had read a bunch of studies on it, and had read a lot about hero doses and got swept up in media hype and sensational articles touting it as a miracle cure. I'd even read studies that said they could cure migraines. They did not.
I didn't have a bad trip either, it was wonderful, but it took such an extreme tax months later. I can't say for sure that mushrooms caused the downswing, obviously I'm one anecdote and even then I can't guarantee that's what caused it, but derealisation was one of the scariest things I'd ever experienced, and it was a lot closer to the mind-bending mushroom reality than it was our own. Also, the panic attacks I had were about how incomprehensible the universe was, and how there was no fundamental meaning in anything, and for some reason my mind would just race on these topics filled with primitive and irrational fear. It was so awful. I have a strong intuition that it was the mushrooms, and I've decided not to touch them again. I'm just glad I managed to make it through it all. I still don't know if I've 100% made it out of that hell but I'm doing a lot better now haha..

@@Don-pk2uy 4g dried. I was basically pulled in by a lot of sensationalized articles and videos, studies that test on a short term frame, and other stuff. I got pretty swept up in it and I'd read about hero doses and wanted to try it. I can't say for sure whether all the bad stuff came from psilocybin, I'm one anecdote and even still I can't definitively correlate them, but panic attacks about you and the things around you not being real is just so far from normal I find it hard to believe it just happened on it's own. It sucked and I'm glad I'm mostly through it.

They improved my life dramatically.
Microdosing saved my life. 😁
6:12 good representation of realistic visual distortions
9:25 good job on representing the phenomenon of synaesthesia.
just so everyone knows, synaesthesia can be learned; it's not just a side effect of a drug. i learned how to convert sound into images when I was but a wee lad. to say "brain pathways that are not ordinarily linked" is misleading since our society merely chooses what's "ordinary" for the sheep to do.
True, I use to imagine the chords on a piano as a particular shape and colour (Emajor was like a deep green and kinda pointy 🤷♀️) but I’ve since lost that ability, imagination ain’t what it use to be 😅
But how do I find a clinic that uses them on patients? I’m 62 with PTSD AND DEPRESSION. Would like to try this in micro doses. But how and where do I get info? Thx
