Absolutely but it wasn't only Nixon it was a long line of assholes, racists, puritans, conservatives, ... Medications are and always will be imperfect tools - just like everything we make - so to stop research into it because of recreative abuse and overblown stereotypes, grown largely out of fantasies and ignorance is frankly disgusting. We're stuck in the 60s in important sectors like pain management and mental disorders. Forced to panickly and franticly prescribing anti-epileptics to schizophrenics and muscle relaxers to pain patients. And yes those do work for some people. But it sucks and the drug-drug interactions can be dangerous. Those two things (pain and mental wellbeing) devour quality of life and do lead to people throwing themselves out of windows or worse.
Nixon was way off base on many of his policies, but I think he genuinely meant well and was just a product of his era. If you watch some of the videos from his legacy channel, your opinion of him may change as mine did. I was very surprised to see a thoughtful and well-meaning man in his post presidential interviews. LBJ was the real bad guy, and Nixon inherited a terrible war.
I started doing drugs since my teenage. Got addicted to fentanyl for over 6 years. Fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression,anxiety and mental disorder. Not until my sister recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 2 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
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 essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
Having struggled with anxiety for more than 10 years, this is what I have been waiting for. Sadly I'm so old that by the time this treatment will be available in my country, I will not need it. Research on these drugs has been halted for 70 years due to the failed "War on Drugs".
You should try and get on one of the clinical trials - I managed to do this and it changed my life. Good luck my friend, I hope that you are able to shake this monkey off your back and enjoy your golden years.
Psychedelics helped me out of my lowest point in my depression. A month after my first ever psychedelic session y picked up psychology and im the top student of my class, ending this year. Cant wait to keep working with them with both myself and others, the way the shamans have been doing for centuries.
Which psychedelic medicine did you use specifically? Did you have intrusive thoughts? Do they reduce them? What improvement did you really feel? Kindly explain to us .Thank you.
bro watchout with drugs, you actually open yourself to the spiritual realm. You lose you divine garment that protects you against demons. Ive been a heavy smoker of weed for several years ad started to have weird thoughts images and the impression of being talked too. Ive taken LSD, psychedelics, and people had demon faces under LSD, I didn't understand that at the time, look up "demon face syndrome), thats basically how I saw everyone in a rave party and I just thought "why are they all ugly"
Ketamine, Isd, dmt and psilocybin containing mushroom are amazing. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
Yes he's George_doze1. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
It might seem fast to some, but I did my senior project on LSD for treatment of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder in the late 1980s and almost all my sources were from before Congress added LSD to the prohibition list in October 1966. We should have had this decades ago, but politicians got in the way.
Politics run by greedy & corrupt Big Pharma. That's why the FDA doesn't approve natural remedies like vitamin & herb supplements, ugh. And now they're almost as expensive as a lot of Rx drugs. 😬😠
Thank God for people like yourself that kept persisting in the background. Its because people refused to swallow the lies of the war on drugs thats its all becoming possible today.
You mean Big Pharma??? That's who the government works for. It is said that they are witholding around 6000 cures. Their goal is to keep us sick and suffering. We need to demand the cures.
Psychedelics ABSOLUTELY helped me discover a new perspective that in turn, helped me to heal old traumas and do the hard work. This is a beautiful development!
Psilocybin saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple of years they'll all over for treatment of mental health issues
I battled with depression, anxiety & C-PTSD. I do hear that shroom cures depression. Wish doctors could be more open to nature medicine over big pharmacy but we know why though
Psychedelics shrooms tend to fix problems at their core, unlike modern medicine which tries to fix the symptoms. This is why psychedelics work great for depression and addiction.
Psychedelics have had enormously profound positive effects for me! The government lied to us and now we’re FINALLY researching these amazing compounds. THANK YOU Dr. Marks for covering this important topic!!
This is why people need to think for themselves not do what we're told or beleive what's right and wrong cuz others say it. Laws and morals are not mutually exclusive.
Sort of funny seeing some up in arms about potential therapeutic uses of these, while the more damaging and dangerous effects of recreational alcohol throughout society, is "shrugged off" as totally normal by most...
I think most of society agrees alcoholism is terrible and drinking is less popular now than at any point in history. It has no medicinal benefits. While psychedelics do have a therapeutic effect for many people, it also can be harmful for a lot of people as well. I just argue that it should be approached with caution and on a case-by-case basis, that's all.
Alcohol is the only legal drug in all 50 US states. Sadly, it's abused - and used to self medicate - with negative consequences. Alcoholism destroyed my dad's family when he was growing up. He doesn't drink yet has shown effects of his father's emotional aB*$e & dysfunction, which has negatively affected me.
A psych professor of mine participated in the lsd trials at Stanford in the 1960s. It’s such a bummer this research got shelved. It could have helped so many over the decades.
Psychedelics we're a crucial part of inpatient detox. Giving the spiritual experience / reset she's talking about. The guy who started AA had the idea in his trip
Glad to see Mind Medicine is on the cutting edge of this. I invested $5000 a few years back hoping for some kind of innovation beyond SSRIs to address this wave of depression and anxiety that seems to have taken root in our society. Appreciate your vids Doc, keep up the good work.
Wow, just one dose for a year of benefit. It's certainly worth putting aside our societal judgments on psychedelics and really exploring this treatment . I'd love to know more...
Either way, it will be expensive as hell. Doubt insurance will cover, especially in my state. Grateful there's more research on mental health remedies though! Counseling just doesn't work for everyone.
That is the problem with these amazing plant medicines. We've been force fed absolute bollox from the government for decades about the harm potential of these molecules so they are frowned upon by the general public. This can also lead to people being in the totally wrong mindset if they are curious enough to experiment with psychedelics. A mindset of anxiety or fear when administering any plant medicines can lead to terrifying experiences. This is a huge step forward for humanity. Some people are able to achieve meditative states without the assistance of any medication, which is great for them, but due to the hectic and overwhelming environments a lot of people lead their lives in it isn't so easy. These are fantastic tools if used in the right set and setting.
It’s also fair to ask why so many substances that were available extra-legally and “aftermarket” historically now require private sector investors to spend $100 million on studies to justify monetizing a pharmaceutical patent for $50 billion? (A 50,000% return on investment). They could regulate quality control from a consumer-protection standpoint like supplements. I know the answer is to implement stopgaps to reduce the risk of Substance Use Disorder, but that’s A LOT of oligopoly to achieve that outcome- and the majority of that wealth is not going to frontline scientists and doctors.
Supplements are actually not regulated and not required to have quality control unless the company that makes them decides to do this. When tested, many supplements were found to not contain what they claim to contain or have wildly varying levels of the ingredient used. Though I do hope that with all this research into psychedelics, governments finally also legalize the use of these substances in their "natural" form.
Yep, I think we all know it's greedy pharmaceutical companies & execs filling their pockets. Big Pharma runs the US. Politicians & lawmakers corrupted by greed (bribes & extortion?) have allowed this for decades. Also, the traffickers & abusers make it difficult for law-abiding citizens who need meds for health & survival. Frustrating!
I've had problems with depression and anxiety most of my life, since I was young. In the 90s, my early 20s, I tried acid 2 or 3 times, and I want to share that looking back it's the one thing I'm glad I tried, it was definitely good for me. Ecstasy might have been good too, I tried that next but it became a habit and I think I did way too much of it, and that was definitely not good. Alcohol, I wish I had never tried. Anyway, I look forward to seeing it properly produced and used experimentally, finally. This is great news.
microdosing L for adhd helped me years before i had an official diagnosis and actual official meds. L is an incredible medicine and tool , im not surprised it helps anxiety as well
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thaaaaankyouuu for understanding that not everyone has the same level of normal.... Some exercise, some mediate and some take lsd medication. But we all are trying to get better that's for sure❤❤❤❤
@ChengJason-mq5um I just asked my local dealers. I'd ask people who sold weed if they knew anywhere I could get them and eventually you find someone. Definitely was like 14 years of therapy lol. Best experience of my entire life
@@seneek8079 The average dose adults take for usage is 3.5g. I get 30 gummy doses from that. I take approximately 0.2mg a day. I don't feel it but after about a week, the Vail started lifting. ☺️
Relying on any substance to save your life is dangerous talk. It's your will and ability to implement neccecery changes in your life that save your life.
@@kayhaich Nope. Been on over 20 different medications over 28 years for 10 different diagnoses that were all wrong. We finally found what works. I'm neurodivergent and it is what works for me. ☺️
Woah this is such an amazing thing to learn about... I knew some other drugs were being studied, but didn't realize things were so close to being brought to the public. Thanks for bringing us the news!
Thank you for making an update on this. I’m currently a psych student, my interest was peaked when my professor mentioned psilocybin therapy. I’ve been obsessed with psychedelic studies, and reading clinical trial results since. Please keep up the psychedelic education videos!!
This makes me so happy! It's incredibly exciting. I know that acid has always actually helped me in times in life that have been full of tumult. Been through some really bad bullshit with some guys lately. Dated my ex of 8 years that I broke up with in 2011. We were only together for a couple of months and he really treated me like trash and it was just an awful time. But last weekend I managed to get a hold of some acid and I got to say. It was really so helpful. I remember who I am now in ways that I for some reason forgot. It really is such a blessing
Thank you Dr. Marks for all the info! This new development ought to help a lot of people who are currently suffering, because trends show that depression/anxiety are on the rise. Psychedelics have radically altered my life for the better, with LSD basically "curing" my alcoholism and decade-long depression. Psilocybin, the small few times I tried, helped me achieve significant, deep philosophical insight into the nature of existence, spirituality, and love that I'm eternally grateful for. But it would be irresponsible to tout the benefits without cautioning people to be safe and do ample amounts of research before trying such powerful substances. If strong positive effects can happen, then strong negative ones can too even if they may not have an equal likelihood. Plus overall, the neurochemical benefits of psychedelics can be achieved through meditation and the other things mentioned, which I do nowadays to maintain peace of mind soberly. Whatever anyone does, hope they are doing so in a safe, healthy way 💜
I used to have terrible anxiety, PTSD, OCD, depression, and doing acid for the first time in my mid 20's really helped calm me down and work thru trauma I had been holding onto for so long that I didnt know how to get rid of. I am very calm now but I still struggle with depression and suicidal ideation so I do acid every time it comes around and I always feel at 100% my happiest and most creative not to mention having the an immense will to live and love for life while on it. I believe these breakthroughs can help so many ppl just like me.
I did LSD last year in august. I was having frequent panic attacks, anhedonia, executive dysfunction in college and my job, major social anxiety. I had an ego death and felt like I was a clean slate, no more anxiety or depression. I only recently started to feel anxious again, but that 10 months post-trip gave me so much FREEDOM to learn about myself and learn to regulate myself emotionally.
Finally good news for patients with anxiety and depression. I wonder for years now why we haven't better medications in this field. Thanks for sharing, too.
Most of those people are on some kind of drug that their doctor perscribed to them, so it doesn't make much of a difference. The only thing that's different is now we're able to do clinical trials to find better ways to produce, and dose.
Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
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.
@@Polianafreitas436 Yeah but the right set and setting aren't that easy to accomplish. It took me a while to go looking for a shrink and it took me another while to really open up to her. And then Covid hit and I couldn't afford it anymore while we all sorta went crazy but that's a different story :D.
As soon as I left the military I self medicated on everything. That seems to have been a huge key in things. It was highly wrong back then and I'm happy to see this coming out years later. For anyone not just vets.
So grateful for this video. I’ve experimented in my younger years and noticed a big change positively (in the right safe setting) and it help me get through some very hard stuff without crippling fear. But yes it go through the proper processes before more widely available. Thank you again!!
I've said it once, I'll say it again. My friends felt bad for going to a rave without me because I have epilepsy, not that I wanted to go anyway, I also have moderate to severe anxiety and major depressive disorder. So a week after the rave, we got together at my place and I tried psilocybin. I wasn't just able to party with my friends, I was able to just be normal. Shrooms literally cured my depression.
Hi Dr. Marks, I really enjoy your videos. As a woman, I feel ignored and dismissed by the medical community, for both physical and mental symptoms. The distrust I have for most doctors has only gotten worse since I became "sick" with ME/CFS and have gained a lot of weight. Have you done/ will you do an episode on Gender Bias in mental health treatment- specifically concerning the use of psychedelic/ "street drugs?" I've been suffering from depression for decades and I desperately want to try something New. I have literally a bucket of psych meds that I tried, some worked a little or never worked, and then quit after 6 months+ because they weren't helping. Do you have the data that shows how many women vs men are approved for these treatments? I wasn't allowed to have my tubes-tied until I had a kid, which inevitably happened but was not in my plan. I feel like the medical community doesn't treat me like a person. How can women advocate getting new psych treatments?
I think if I wanted to decrease anxiety I would either address the actual issue causing it, lift heavy weights or supplement with magnesium but yeah if you want the ClA developed mind melter go right ahead I will pass. On a side note you drop acid in an anxious state you’re going to have a really bad time.
As a Psychedelic nerd and advocate, I have issues with this. MM-120 and LSD 25 are wild, crazy, not for everyone. You can fudge studies to say whatever you want to get your patented drug approved. They should use better/milder lysergamides like Al-Lad or Mipla for this sort of treatment, things that don't send you into a state of mind that can easily teeter into psychosis. Things that don't induce heavy anxiety. This study about MM-120 is kind of BS. If LSD cured anxiety, I would've been anxiety-free 20 years ago, but now, finally I'm finding some things that actually work. And it was Mescaline that really showed me how to face my anxiety and stay busy and focused through each moment. The fact is, these companies are pushing LSD cuz there is room to patent. Let's focus on the safe stuff first, mushrooms, cactus, mdma, etc.
I always enjoy your show, as an Autie with a special interest for psychopharmacology... I love that you go into M.O.A. in a way that layman can grasp. The true mark of brilliance is the ability to simplify complexities. You do that, and save me a lot of time explaining things to friends that ask. Cheers and qudos!
So exciting, as an anxious neurodiverse person, I’m thrilled to hear that the medical community has truly found the actual uses for these amazing compounds. Can’t wait to give it a try. Mushroom therapy was a huge catalyst for healing o. My journey. Thank you so much, love your informative work.
I'm 39. Male. Ukrainian. Over the course of a year, I took LSD (110, 140, 160 µg) 12 times, once a month. The substance was pure. Each trip was profound in terms of my psychological breakthroughs. My goals were: anxiety, my tendency to fall into depressive moods, to find myself(which was kinda lost after my long depression), to improve my mental health overall. I did it in my room(dark, warm and comfy). My last trip I did in the Carpathian mountains (I met the sunrise there). During each trip I listened to Ambient music(Robert Rich, Brian Eno). Result: exceeded all my expectations. LSD is a highly underestimated medicine for the human mind. Under the right circumstances it can bring a lot of positive changes to one's mind.
Yay! I have a wonderful psychiatrist and therapist. I still have anxiety attacks and have low grade anxiety much of the time. I can hardly wait for this "new" treatment!
If I’m feeling a hankering for some major, big-time anxiety, I take LSD. Experiencing time disappear completely brings the crippling fear for me, every time.
I had crippling social anxiety before I took LSD, after my first trip my brain completely shed itself of it, and the anxiety is now a distant memory ! bets shit I ever did
Why does it have to take so long for research in order for them to approve a substance into therapy? Why can it be as short as six months? It’s ridiculous.
I have severe social anxiety disorder. Please tell me how I can be part of this study. The only "advice" I've gotten from mental healthcare staff is to "breathe deep, hold it for 4 seconds, and let it go slowly" which is like telling someone with a broken leg to "walk it off".
I don’t know. I had some pretty bad trips on acid as a depressed teenager and one from of mine from high school ended up in a live in mental health facility from taking LSD.
It's funny how these cases are completely omitted in these kind of campaigns, or they minimise the harm with statements like "you took too much" or "maybe this drug isn't for you"
Whilst I am beyond pleased to see that times are changing as it relates to psychedelics, unfortunately the tone of this video leaves me concerned that Western medicine is doing what it usually does by ignoring the deeply human and spiritual experience that psychedelics induce which are central to healing. Yes, microdosing has shown some efficacy but for PTSD, addiction and treatment resistant depression, I doubt it would be successful. Whilst it is correct that psychedelics help with neuroplasticity, this in and of itself is not enough because it is a negative or unworthy core belief that needs to be addressed and that's where the deeply emotional psychedelic experience comes in. I was fortunate enough to take part in a Clinical Trial using Psilocybin and the 8 hour experience I had under clinical observation was life changing and affirming. These experiences help address that core belief of unworthyness and replace it with a sense of connectedness and worthyness. With correct follow up with a psychotherapist or counsellor in the weeks after, the individual establishes new thought patterns that are aligned with this core belief and the neurosis subsides.
I really hope to be able to try these. I tried ketamine and my first infusion was a miracle! The best I’ve felt in over 30 years. It only lasted for 3 days though🙁 I really want to be able to go outside and experience a happy life with my family. I barely ever go outside anymore. It’s hard for me to keep my own yard looking nice
LSD has given me great experiences and tools that allowed me to free myself of anxiety, depression, and gave me higher levels of self awareness. It’s let me fix my own problems, inspired me to go to further education, and has been an almost spiritual tool for me. It’s so cool to see this and other psychedelics be on the list of stuff to get closer to fda approval.
Thanks Dr. Tracy. Your videos have really been helping me and i find your clinical presentation and deep voice quite soothing. When i took Acid recreationally i was surprised to find the drug made me very assertive and motivated, which is unusual for allot of people which take it for the first time. This led me down a path of self reflection where i believe i worked out i have BPD, and am prone to cortisol induced combat posturing, which has caused many issues in all my relationships. Even as a kid i always saw myself as a combat organism what with being male, but i never really stopped to realize that that was a warped self identity due to all the violence i faced growing up I have been struggling due to the very emotional opinions conventionally brained people have towards BPD people, they all think we are monsters, but in truth i cant help entering a state of secondary psychosis, and it leaves me not knowing weather to blame myself or those around me... I hate feeling like a human landmine, but your videos have been enlightening me of many coping mechanisms which i will be sure to make use of in the future. Thanks for all you do!
If it helps, why not giving it a shot? What I would like to know more about is the probability of depression/ anxiety as side effects of using psychoactive substances during therapy/ the probability of anxious states/ neurosis occuring while using them. What about possible antagonistic effects when using “classic“ medication like SSRIs and/ or SNDRIs?
5-HT1A antagonism (which some antidepressants, including mirtazapine and good-ol. clomipramine) can mediate acid trips and lessen the potential dysphoria/possibility of a bad trip. MDMA and DXM do need to be treaded on with great care, though, especially if you’re on an MAOI (like phenelzine).
I am totally on board with this, if it fixes the problem from the root, why not? Why choose to keep struggling when you can fix it from the bud? I am all in.
you know, when i 1st looked @ your 'comments' before i watched this vid, it seemed like everyone had drank the cool aid in signing off--but, actually, after watching the vid i sign off. i've had GAD throughout the decades w/not much co-morbidity & the THOUGHT of something i take once & it works for 12 wks--rewiring my brain & making me 'clearer'--sounds . . . WONDERFUL!! 'gad' is like some thing @ this point i don't even notice & am so used to, i've never even thought about what life would be like w/out it.
I was a participant in the LSD trial and got a what I think was a low/non-therapeutic dose that only briefly caused visual distortions. I know you're supposed to enter a clinical trial knowing that you might get a placebo, nonetheless, I was still hoping for a therapeutic dose. Unfortunately, when I didn't, my depression skyrocketed. I remain hopeful that one day I might get relief.
The strongest medication I took was for schizophrenia when I had a massive panic attack. Took it for a few days and it helped me calm down to regular anxiety. Now I take a different anxiety medication.
I'm curious to know if mm-120 slows down ones thought process. If not, and there is significant decrease in anxiety symptoms that sounds wonderful. It's hard to imaging what that would feel like, I'm excited to see where the research goes.
I don't make a difference between a "drug" and medicin. They are molecules which have effects on the brain. Like she said, also food and exercise and experience have effects on the brain.
Microdosing occasionally allowed me to decide to just have one good day every so often. And I really needed that. A day when I felt connected to nature and my pets and just more grounded. Until I could get the right therapy and time to work through my life.

Yes he's George_doze1. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
Wow amazing to see y’all know him.
Where did u get this treatment ?
It might seem fast to some, but I did my senior project on LSD for treatment of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder in the late 1980s and almost all my sources were from before Congress added LSD to the prohibition list in October 1966. We should have had this decades ago, but politicians got in the way.
It's so mind-boggling how a few politicians single-handedly caused human suffering for 70 years
Politics run by greedy & corrupt Big Pharma. That's why the FDA doesn't approve natural remedies like vitamin & herb supplements, ugh. And now they're almost as expensive as a lot of Rx drugs. 😬😠
Well the experimenters abused the substances, so there's blame there too.
Thank God for people like yourself that kept persisting in the background. Its because people refused to swallow the lies of the war on drugs thats its all becoming possible today.
You mean Big Pharma??? That's who the government works for. It is said that they are witholding around 6000 cures. Their goal is to keep us sick and suffering. We need to demand the cures.
Psychedelics ABSOLUTELY helped me discover a new perspective that in turn, helped me to heal old traumas and do the hard work.
This is a beautiful development!
If you actually need to purchase or seek advice....

Please recommend a supplier I'm overseas..I need help
Psilocybin saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple of years they'll all over for treatment of mental health issues
I battled with depression, anxiety & C-PTSD. I do hear that shroom cures depression. Wish doctors could be more open to nature medicine over big pharmacy but we know why though
Psychedelics shrooms tend to fix problems at their core, unlike modern medicine which tries to fix the symptoms. This is why psychedelics work great for depression and addiction.
I can recommend you to Frierson Selman he is a genius
dr_fselman shrooms made me discover a lot about myself, the trips I got were mind and eye opening
Mushroom trip, the best medication for the body and soul ❤
Psychedelics have had enormously profound positive effects for me! The government lied to us and now we’re FINALLY researching these amazing compounds. THANK YOU Dr. Marks for covering this important topic!!
This is why people need to think for themselves not do what we're told or beleive what's right and wrong cuz others say it. Laws and morals are not mutually exclusive.
Sort of funny seeing some up in arms about potential therapeutic uses of these, while the more damaging and dangerous effects of recreational alcohol throughout society, is "shrugged off" as totally normal by most...
Exactly
Good point
Thank you!!!
I think most of society agrees alcoholism is terrible and drinking is less popular now than at any point in history. It has no medicinal benefits.
While psychedelics do have a therapeutic effect for many people, it also can be harmful for a lot of people as well. I just argue that it should be approached with caution and on a case-by-case basis, that's all.
Alcohol is the only legal drug in all 50 US states. Sadly, it's abused - and used to self medicate - with negative consequences. Alcoholism destroyed my dad's family when he was growing up. He doesn't drink yet has shown effects of his father's emotional aB*$e & dysfunction, which has negatively affected me.
A psych professor of mine participated in the lsd trials at Stanford in the 1960s. It’s such a bummer this research got shelved. It could have helped so many over the decades.
Ted Kaczynski was also involved in those trials.
@@meghalalwani1963 Why would I take the word of an insane serial killer? It's well documented that he had a noticeable break after the experiments.
It was probably several factors. I doubt that psychedelics are good for everyone.
Thanks. You have been a steady source of help for me, and it’s very appreciated.
Thanks so much for your generosity! I really appreciate it 🙏🏽
I've had great success with psychadelics. Doing an intentional acid trip helped my wife stop being an alcoholic!
I want to try it very badly but it’s not legal and I’m terrified of getting counterfeit product
@@jenathent4840Very relevant concern, street chemicals are risky. Perhaps you could afford to go to a psilocybin spa/retreat in Oaxaca or California?
@jenathent4840 do you live in California?
@@ashleymittsI do and also looking for it
Psychedelics we're a crucial part of inpatient detox. Giving the spiritual experience / reset she's talking about. The guy who started AA had the idea in his trip
Glad to see Mind Medicine is on the cutting edge of this. I invested $5000 a few years back hoping for some kind of innovation beyond SSRIs to address this wave of depression and anxiety that seems to have taken root in our society.
Appreciate your vids Doc, keep up the good work.
Thank you .SSRIs just don't work for me .The side effects of Nausea and Vomiting is unbearable as well for me.
Micro-dosing has always been the better alternative if used properly
Might you need to get for yourself or seek advice? look up my 🔌. A seasoned mycologist
@@nuhali5917Same here. 😕
Wow, just one dose for a year of benefit. It's certainly worth putting aside our societal judgments on psychedelics and really exploring this treatment . I'd love to know more...
I think they said twelve weeks, not twelve months.
Either way, it will be expensive as hell. Doubt insurance will cover, especially in my state. Grateful there's more research on mental health remedies though! Counseling just doesn't work for everyone.
That is the problem with these amazing plant medicines. We've been force fed absolute bollox from the government for decades about the harm potential of these molecules so they are frowned upon by the general public.
This can also lead to people being in the totally wrong mindset if they are curious enough to experiment with psychedelics. A mindset of anxiety or fear when administering any plant medicines can lead to terrifying experiences.
This is a huge step forward for humanity. Some people are able to achieve meditative states without the assistance of any medication, which is great for them, but due to the hectic and overwhelming environments a lot of people lead their lives in it isn't so easy. These are fantastic tools if used in the right set and setting.
It’s also fair to ask why so many substances that were available extra-legally and “aftermarket” historically now require private sector investors to spend $100 million on studies to justify monetizing a pharmaceutical patent for $50 billion? (A 50,000% return on investment). They could regulate quality control from a consumer-protection standpoint like supplements. I know the answer is to implement stopgaps to reduce the risk of Substance Use Disorder, but that’s A LOT of oligopoly to achieve that outcome- and the majority of that wealth is not going to frontline scientists and doctors.
Supplements are actually not regulated and not required to have quality control unless the company that makes them decides to do this. When tested, many supplements were found to not contain what they claim to contain or have wildly varying levels of the ingredient used. Though I do hope that with all this research into psychedelics, governments finally also legalize the use of these substances in their "natural" form.
Corruption plain and simple. We live in an oligarchy that does not want the citizens to be well.
Yep, I think we all know it's greedy pharmaceutical companies & execs filling their pockets. Big Pharma runs the US. Politicians & lawmakers corrupted by greed (bribes & extortion?) have allowed this for decades. Also, the traffickers & abusers make it difficult for law-abiding citizens who need meds for health & survival. Frustrating!
I've had problems with depression and anxiety most of my life, since I was young. In the 90s, my early 20s, I tried acid 2 or 3 times, and I want to share that looking back it's the one thing I'm glad I tried, it was definitely good for me. Ecstasy might have been good too, I tried that next but it became a habit and I think I did way too much of it, and that was definitely not good. Alcohol, I wish I had never tried. Anyway, I look forward to seeing it properly produced and used experimentally, finally. This is great news.
Your joy in talking about these new medication trials makes me smile. Have a great day.
microdosing L for adhd helped me years before i had an official diagnosis and actual official meds. L is an incredible medicine and tool , im not surprised it helps anxiety as well
💯 Way more helpful than stimulants which drove me nuts and even exacerbated some of my ADHD symptoms. Lions Mane is really great for that too.
If micro-dosing helps your ADHD you're much better off with LSD than Adderall.
How often do you take it ?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thaaaaankyouuu for understanding that not everyone has the same level of normal.... Some exercise, some mediate and some take lsd medication. But we all are trying to get better that's for sure❤❤❤❤
Yes 💖 our paths to our better selves may be different, but we're all climbing the same mountain.
Thank you for giving me hope. If I can experience joy for once in my lifetime, then it would be a game changer. 😃
Yesssssss! This drug is what helped my anxiety the most. It actually helped me transform my negative thinking patterns on a long-term level!😊
Same here I'm a Christian but that stuff helped me heal and find the kingdom of God within me
Can you share where you got it from?
@ChengJason-mq5um I just asked my local dealers. I'd ask people who sold weed if they knew anywhere I could get them and eventually you find someone. Definitely was like 14 years of therapy lol. Best experience of my entire life
Thank you for your work, Dr. Marks. I’ve been tuning in for years now. You are appreciated! 🙏🏾
I have been microdosing psilocybin for five months. Psychedelics saved my life. I'm so glad they're finally getting it.
This may be a stupid question, but how do you know what amount to take?
@@seneek8079 The average dose adults take for usage is 3.5g. I get 30 gummy doses from that. I take approximately 0.2mg a day. I don't feel it but after about a week, the Vail started lifting. ☺️
Relying on any substance to save your life is dangerous talk. It's your will and ability to implement neccecery changes in your life that save your life.
@@kayhaich Nope. Been on over 20 different medications over 28 years for 10 different diagnoses that were all wrong. We finally found what works. I'm neurodivergent and it is what works for me. ☺️
Woah this is such an amazing thing to learn about... I knew some other drugs were being studied, but didn't realize things were so close to being brought to the public. Thanks for bringing us the news!
Thank you for making an update on this. I’m currently a psych student, my interest was peaked when my professor mentioned psilocybin therapy. I’ve been obsessed with psychedelic studies, and reading clinical trial results since. Please keep up the psychedelic education videos!!
this finding makes me so happy. i wish for every person to be free of negative thinking. it's my deepest desire
That's very naive. None of us can be free of negative thought, only free to understand thoughts change.
This makes me so happy! It's incredibly exciting. I know that acid has always actually helped me in times in life that have been full of tumult. Been through some really bad bullshit with some guys lately. Dated my ex of 8 years that I broke up with in 2011. We were only together for a couple of months and he really treated me like trash and it was just an awful time. But last weekend I managed to get a hold of some acid and I got to say. It was really so helpful. I remember who I am now in ways that I for some reason forgot. It really is such a blessing
Thank you Dr. Marks for all the info! This new development ought to help a lot of people who are currently suffering, because trends show that depression/anxiety are on the rise. Psychedelics have radically altered my life for the better, with LSD basically "curing" my alcoholism and decade-long depression. Psilocybin, the small few times I tried, helped me achieve significant, deep philosophical insight into the nature of existence, spirituality, and love that I'm eternally grateful for. But it would be irresponsible to tout the benefits without cautioning people to be safe and do ample amounts of research before trying such powerful substances. If strong positive effects can happen, then strong negative ones can too even if they may not have an equal likelihood. Plus overall, the neurochemical benefits of psychedelics can be achieved through meditation and the other things mentioned, which I do nowadays to maintain peace of mind soberly. Whatever anyone does, hope they are doing so in a safe, healthy way 💜
Wow. Such a hopeful piece of news. I have treatment resistant depression and GAD. I’ve been suffering most of my adult life.
I used to have terrible anxiety, PTSD, OCD, depression, and doing acid for the first time in my mid 20's really helped calm me down and work thru trauma I had been holding onto for so long that I didnt know how to get rid of. I am very calm now but I still struggle with depression and suicidal ideation so I do acid every time it comes around and I always feel at 100% my happiest and most creative not to mention having the an immense will to live and love for life while on it. I believe these breakthroughs can help so many ppl just like me.
Is it not permanent
This is a very cool video, I think every drug should be legal for medial use to treat mental health! Thank you Dr. Tracey Marks
You’re so welcome!
Exciting!! We so need new agents for anxiety. I hope to try this when available.
These will be game changers for millions of people suffering with anxiety, depression, and trauma in general. 💫
It really helped me thanks to my well meaning mycologist
Thank you Dr. Marks, you are giving me hope🙏🏾.
I did LSD last year in august. I was having frequent panic attacks, anhedonia, executive dysfunction in college and my job, major social anxiety. I had an ego death and felt like I was a clean slate, no more anxiety or depression. I only recently started to feel anxious again, but that 10 months post-trip gave me so much FREEDOM to learn about myself and learn to regulate myself emotionally.

Finally good news for patients with anxiety and depression. I wonder for years now why we haven't better medications in this field. Thanks for sharing, too.
I love how you even offer an alternative for people who are against drugs!
Most of those people are on some kind of drug that their doctor perscribed to them, so it doesn't make much of a difference.
The only thing that's different is now we're able to do clinical trials to find better ways to produce, and dose.
@@Tsugimoto1"most people"? That's rubbish
It's awesome to see this. What I'd be worried about is the existential crisis some go through
Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
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.
@@Polianafreitas436 Yeah but the right set and setting aren't that easy to accomplish. It took me a while to go looking for a shrink and it took me another while to really open up to her. And then Covid hit and I couldn't afford it anymore while we all sorta went crazy but that's a different story :D.
Out of curiosity what benzo and how much did you take daily ?
As soon as I left the military I self medicated on everything. That seems to have been a huge key in things. It was highly wrong back then and I'm happy to see this coming out years later. For anyone not just vets.
Thanks FDA for pretending we haven’t been knowing
So grateful for this video. I’ve experimented in my younger years and noticed a big change positively (in the right safe setting) and it help me get through some very hard stuff without crippling fear. But yes it go through the proper processes before more widely available. Thank you again!!
I've said it once, I'll say it again. My friends felt bad for going to a rave without me because I have epilepsy, not that I wanted to go anyway, I also have moderate to severe anxiety and major depressive disorder. So a week after the rave, we got together at my place and I tried psilocybin. I wasn't just able to party with my friends, I was able to just be normal. Shrooms literally cured my depression.
Wow omg really !!?

Yes it has been known to be a mind-blowing drug.
Hi Dr. Marks, I really enjoy your videos. As a woman, I feel ignored and dismissed by the medical community, for both physical and mental symptoms. The distrust I have for most doctors has only gotten worse since I became "sick" with ME/CFS and have gained a lot of weight. Have you done/ will you do an episode on Gender Bias in mental health treatment- specifically concerning the use of psychedelic/ "street drugs?" I've been suffering from depression for decades and I desperately want to try something New. I have literally a bucket of psych meds that I tried, some worked a little or never worked, and then quit after 6 months+ because they weren't helping. Do you have the data that shows how many women vs men are approved for these treatments? I wasn't allowed to have my tubes-tied until I had a kid, which inevitably happened but was not in my plan. I feel like the medical community doesn't treat me like a person. How can women advocate getting new psych treatments?
I’ve been using ketamine therapy for the past two months and it’s bust a major help in bringing back my old self before anxieties started kicking in.
Have they taken into consideration that these meds are so available on the street?

I think if I wanted to decrease anxiety I would either address the actual issue causing it, lift heavy weights or supplement with magnesium but yeah if you want the ClA developed mind melter go right ahead I will pass. On a side note you drop acid in an anxious state you’re going to have a really bad time.
I have high anxiety and plenty of magnesium. I went on magnesium supplements and my levels went too high. So check your levels if you supplement.
Yesterday I was searching a video about psychedelic treatment of anxiety amongst your content and I couldn't find it. Today you post one
Congrats on finding your echo chamber
As a Psychedelic nerd and advocate, I have issues with this. MM-120 and LSD 25 are wild, crazy, not for everyone. You can fudge studies to say whatever you want to get your patented drug approved. They should use better/milder lysergamides like Al-Lad or Mipla for this sort of treatment, things that don't send you into a state of mind that can easily teeter into psychosis. Things that don't induce heavy anxiety. This study about MM-120 is kind of BS. If LSD cured anxiety, I would've been anxiety-free 20 years ago, but now, finally I'm finding some things that actually work. And it was Mescaline that really showed me how to face my anxiety and stay busy and focused through each moment. The fact is, these companies are pushing LSD cuz there is room to patent. Let's focus on the safe stuff first, mushrooms, cactus, mdma, etc.
I always enjoy your show, as an Autie with a special interest for psychopharmacology... I love that you go into M.O.A. in a way that layman can grasp. The true mark of brilliance is the ability to simplify complexities.
You do that, and save me a lot of time explaining things to friends that ask.
Cheers and qudos!
Something about her tone tells me everything I need to know. Bear in mind, folks, a bad shrink WILL destroy your life.
So exciting, as an anxious neurodiverse person, I’m thrilled to hear that the medical community has truly found the actual uses for these amazing compounds.
Can’t wait to give it a try.
Mushroom therapy was a huge catalyst for healing o. My journey.
Thank you so much, love your informative work.

Jurassic Park scientists didn't go through approved clinical trials. They bypassed all checks and balances, bought an island and went for it.
Also, they did think if they should, because people are dealing with anxiety. So I don’t see what’s the point of this quote in the comments?

@@alisterfolson makes sense you didn’t read it nor did you watch the video.

LSD Today. Crack and Cocaine Tomorrow.
Cocaine is excellent at treating depression. Why it isn't usually recommended is another topic.
Exactly
I thought crack was already out with stimulants
@@riseagain9677Just might be. A few yrs ago they were talking about cocaine in the psych meds...
You can't really compare this.
I'm 39. Male. Ukrainian. Over the course of a year, I took LSD (110, 140, 160 µg) 12 times, once a month. The substance was pure. Each trip was profound in terms of my psychological breakthroughs. My goals were: anxiety, my tendency to fall into depressive moods, to find myself(which was kinda lost after my long depression), to improve my mental health overall. I did it in my room(dark, warm and comfy). My last trip I did in the Carpathian mountains (I met the sunrise there). During each trip I listened to Ambient music(Robert Rich, Brian Eno).
Result: exceeded all my expectations. LSD is a highly underestimated medicine for the human mind. Under the right circumstances it can bring a lot of positive changes to one's mind.
Yay! I have a wonderful psychiatrist and therapist. I still have anxiety attacks and have low grade anxiety much of the time. I can hardly wait for this "new" treatment!
If I’m feeling a hankering for some major, big-time anxiety, I take LSD. Experiencing time disappear completely brings the crippling fear for me, every time.
I absolutely love LSD and psychedelics
I had crippling social anxiety before I took LSD, after my first trip my brain completely shed itself of it, and the anxiety is now a distant memory ! bets shit I ever did
Why does it have to take so long for research in order for them to approve a substance into therapy? Why can it be as short as six months? It’s ridiculous.
I have severe social anxiety disorder. Please tell me how I can be part of this study. The only "advice" I've gotten from mental healthcare staff is to "breathe deep, hold it for 4 seconds, and let it go slowly" which is like telling someone with a broken leg to "walk it off".
Hi you better?
I don’t know. I had some pretty bad trips on acid as a depressed teenager and one from of mine from high school ended up in a live in mental health facility from taking LSD.
It's funny how these cases are completely omitted in these kind of campaigns, or they minimise the harm with statements like "you took too much" or "maybe this drug isn't for you"
Whilst I am beyond pleased to see that times are changing as it relates to psychedelics, unfortunately the tone of this video leaves me concerned that Western medicine is doing what it usually does by ignoring the deeply human and spiritual experience that psychedelics induce which are central to healing. Yes, microdosing has shown some efficacy but for PTSD, addiction and treatment resistant depression, I doubt it would be successful. Whilst it is correct that psychedelics help with neuroplasticity, this in and of itself is not enough because it is a negative or unworthy core belief that needs to be addressed and that's where the deeply emotional psychedelic experience comes in. I was fortunate enough to take part in a Clinical Trial using Psilocybin and the 8 hour experience I had under clinical observation was life changing and affirming. These experiences help address that core belief of unworthyness and replace it with a sense of connectedness and worthyness. With correct follow up with a psychotherapist or counsellor in the weeks after, the individual establishes new thought patterns that are aligned with this core belief and the neurosis subsides.
I really hope to be able to try these. I tried ketamine and my first infusion was a miracle! The best I’ve felt in over 30 years. It only lasted for 3 days though🙁 I really want to be able to go outside and experience a happy life with my family. I barely ever go outside anymore. It’s hard for me to keep my own yard looking nice
You're such a gifted speaker and educator.
Psychodelics helped me understand forgivness, and im confident enough to say i wouldnt have gotten trough that without the help of those medications
My girlfriend had crippling anxiety 23 years of her life and one acid trip took it all away for good. Still blows my mind to this day.
LSD has given me great experiences and tools that allowed me to free myself of anxiety, depression, and gave me higher levels of self awareness.
It’s let me fix my own problems, inspired me to go to further education, and has been an almost spiritual tool for me. It’s so cool to see this and other psychedelics be on the list of stuff to get closer to fda approval.
What a great video! It explained the whole map surrounding the subject which is the key way to learn ❤ superb big picture thinking!
Thanks Dr. Tracy. Your videos have really been helping me and i find your clinical presentation and deep voice quite soothing.
When i took Acid recreationally i was surprised to find the drug made me very assertive and motivated, which is unusual for allot of people which take it for the first time.
This led me down a path of self reflection where i believe i worked out i have BPD, and am prone to cortisol induced combat posturing, which has caused many issues in all my relationships.
Even as a kid i always saw myself as a combat organism what with being male, but i never really stopped to realize that that was a warped self identity due to all the violence i faced growing up
I have been struggling due to the very emotional opinions conventionally brained people have towards BPD people, they all think we are monsters, but in truth i cant help entering a state of secondary psychosis, and it leaves me not knowing weather to blame myself or those around me...
I hate feeling like a human landmine, but your videos have been enlightening me of many coping mechanisms which i will be sure to make use of in the future.
Thanks for all you do!
If it helps, why not giving it a shot?
What I would like to know more about is the probability of depression/ anxiety as side effects of using psychoactive substances during therapy/ the probability of anxious states/ neurosis occuring while using them. What about possible antagonistic effects when using “classic“ medication like SSRIs and/ or SNDRIs?
5-HT1A antagonism (which some antidepressants, including mirtazapine and good-ol. clomipramine) can mediate acid trips and lessen the potential dysphoria/possibility of a bad trip. MDMA and DXM do need to be treaded on with great care, though, especially if you’re on an MAOI (like phenelzine).
I am totally on board with this, if it fixes the problem from the root, why not? Why choose to keep struggling when you can fix it from the bud? I am all in.
This is exciting! Thank you for covering this! ❤
you know, when i 1st looked @ your 'comments' before i watched this vid, it seemed like everyone had drank the cool aid in signing off--but, actually, after watching the vid i sign off. i've had GAD throughout the decades w/not much co-morbidity & the THOUGHT of something i take once & it works for 12 wks--rewiring my brain & making me 'clearer'--sounds . . . WONDERFUL!! 'gad' is like some thing @ this point i don't even notice & am so used to, i've never even thought about what life would be like w/out it.
I was a participant in the LSD trial and got a what I think was a low/non-therapeutic dose that only briefly caused visual distortions. I know you're supposed to enter a clinical trial knowing that you might get a placebo, nonetheless, I was still hoping for a therapeutic dose. Unfortunately, when I didn't, my depression skyrocketed. I remain hopeful that one day I might get relief.
The strongest medication I took was for schizophrenia when I had a massive panic attack. Took it for a few days and it helped me calm down to regular anxiety. Now I take a different anxiety medication.
I always appreciate the information and breakdown! Keep up the great work!!
Acid absolutely made my anxiety WORSE. Be VERY CAREFUL people.. one bad trip can ruin you mentally 🥵🪦💀
Thank you, for the update, Doctor.
I'm curious to know if mm-120 slows down ones thought process. If not, and there is significant decrease in anxiety symptoms that sounds wonderful. It's hard to imaging what that would feel like, I'm excited to see where the research goes.
Nova Mentis Life Sciences is working on using psylocibin for autism.
I don't make a difference between a "drug" and medicin. They are molecules which have effects on the brain. Like she said, also food and exercise and experience have effects on the brain.
I once knew a custom surfboard shaper whose logo read (his name began with an “L”) “L S D L’s Surf Designs . What are you on? “
LSD 😂😂I feel I have the best plug, shut way too good
Microdosing occasionally allowed me to decide to just have one good day every so often. And I really needed that. A day when I felt connected to nature and my pets and just more grounded. Until I could get the right therapy and time to work through my life.
Oh I believe it. When I was taking LSD frequently, I had significantly reduced OCD symptoms.
A true communicator. Thank you.
Wow, thank you
