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.
Ive started taking mushroom powders in my morning tea and give supplements to one of my teenagers. Such a difference. Mushrooms are the hidden gem. Mother nature has everything we need.
There is no need for commercialization of mushrooms only decriminalization and is abhorrent to allow pharmaceutical companies to monopolize it. I do not support the industrialization of mushrooms when they are more than accessible to the individual easily and safely. Now having psychotherapist and people trained in the therapeutic aspect is necessary so you don't have ignorant people out here making issues worse, but I will not support pharmaceutical companies or mushroom dispensaries.
@Will Smith, amen and thank you. I don’t understand why people think it’s so cool and progressive to hand these cottage industries, such as cannabis or mushroom farming, to wealthy profiteers. Legalization is nothing more than an upward transfer of wealth.
I agree with most of this, except that I think commercialization and pharmaceutical production will not necessarily be bad. I think they can coexist with personal use of mushrooms, and will fill a different need. Also, I think that decriminalization does not go far enough. I think legalization is necessary because decriminalization typically only covers small amounts of a substance for personal use, but still criminalizes sale and distribution. Legalization is necessary in order for business like the dispensary in Vancouver that Tony talked about in this video to be able to operate safely. Not all jurisdictions are as lax as Vancouver.
I agree. As soon as the pharmaceutical companies are able to patent this and legally sell it to use for prescriptions, you can say goodbye to the idea of decriminalization. Personally, I would rather things stay the way they are than see this precious medicine exploited by our government.
@BrianOSheaPlus good points, legalization is great for the individual but I'm not sure im on board with dispensaries small or large scale. Thank you for sharing your views on the topic.
Research shows that psilocybin mushrooms have promising results for mental health support, particularly in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
“The abuse” lmao that cracks me up…. The “high” it gives, SAVED MY LIFE. It woke me up, changed my life. Got me off of dangerous drugs DOCTORS strung me out on. If it wasn’t for psilocybin I would still be homeless and hopeless…. Today, I am happy, housed, with a full stomach & warm. Seems like they don’t want us to be TO HEALTHY lol
Yea. If it wasn’t for the mushroom, I would still be hating myself and my life for staying in a toxic environment from my last job. I wanted to quit before to change my life, so I did
Maybe opioids? Not mushrooms but very similar thing (LSD) also allowed me to break free from a very tough addiction that I thought would be 100% impossible to break free from with the help of medical intervention and that I'd be forced to just greatly suffer for 2 weeks no matter what, but yes it saved me
People are missing that this stack was invented by Paul Stamets and he was the one who filed the patent. This is the smart move. He’s patenting it precisely because he doesn’t want it to be scooped up by big pharmaceutical companies. He wants it to be an over the counter vitamin supplement in every store
@@NetsarimTheWatchman dont you get it he patents it so others dont patent it. you could aswell run around a red state with your spliff saying "nature cant be governed" see if the cops let you keep your weed jsut because you have a hippie catchphrase
Psilocybin is an ancient and powerful medicine. It is amusing that “modern” medicine is only now trying to understand what Indigenous people have know for a millennia.
Anybody who has undergone intend psilocybin therapy will understand that trying to get life changing therapeutic benefits of psychedelics without the trip is laughable.that’s what rattles you out of depression.
I experienced an ego death after taking 5g of penis envy. Best experience of my life. Depression is non existent. Childhood trauma no longer plague me. This is not a drug, it's a medicine. These mushrooms did what years of therapy could never do.
I can't speak for everyone magic shrooms rejuvenated me, No doubt about that. It lifted an existential angst that I have been carrying for years. It never came back.
Stamets has filed lots of patents. The question is does he try and enforce them. As far as I know he doesn’t. The patent then serves to prevent other companies from patenting and enforcing that patent. I think he is wrong on some things but right to patent his ideas so they can’t be stolen by corporate America.
@@karlsapp7134 I get this. It's just now he leading the pack on filing these patents and if he successful others can file with the intent to enforce. This reminds me of herbal company trying to trademark name firecider even though it's something herbalists have been selling and making for ever. That company lost and went under thankfully. All can continue using the name.
@@tonyrandall3146 Thats the spirit! But "so what" has led to the "Generational Toxic Psychosis" we are seeing now. Multiple generations of "patented" chemicals derived from already working and natural snbstances being marketed to everyone for the past several generations. 80s and 90s methylphenidate and lithium babies are having babies that have had babies, and all are given new lines of "patented" medications. Thus giving us the current "mental health crisis" enjoy
@@jul.escobar i appreciate what he's done for mushroom lovers but he's the type of guy who would sell colonized grain spawn and make people promise not to expand the culture, etc. which is totally in line with trying to patent the lions mane+psolocybin combo
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I suffered severe trauma several years ago after divorce with my wife. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Spent my whole life fighting bipolar. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my son recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind
Yes he's Dr.benfungi. 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.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
I need guidance I can do 400-500 ugs of Lucy and 3-5 of shrooms and don’t get visuals a higher dose just makes me more disoriented and voices in my head non stop.
@@calebsarah9985 I know about this man he is the best shroom source I know at the moment. He has the best strain products I've used since I started micro dosing journey in march... He's really good at what he does.
Psychedelics helped me a lot, they are the reason why i didn't take my life when I was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, l'm doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
Nice job. FYI you misidentified Panaeolus cyanescens in this video at 4:55 (mistakenly calling it Psilocybe cyanescens which are a wood lover species with brown caps). Also the nickname "Blue Meanies" was first associated with "Panaeolus cyanescens" and is not the nickname of Psilocybe cyanescens. There is also a cubensis strain called "blue meanie" (whoever is responsible for that should be flogged, haha).
I'm in Detroit, the second city in Michigan to decriminalize Psilocybin containing mushrooms with Ann Arbor being the first and Hazel Park rounding up the number three spot two years ago with hopefully more to come and eventually legalization 🙂

Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
I can understand patenting a hybrid, but patenting a stack is like patenting a chocolate chip cookie. Garbage practice that inflicts undue hardship on practitioners and recipients.
Wrote a bachelors thesis on lions mane, and I can tell you that they definitely have a positive, but reversible, effect on people with dementia. They don't have that high of an effect on anxiety or depression, but they do increase curiosity and decrease anxiety in rats with dementia. It increases short term memory, but this is also reversible with a 1 month daily dosage schedule. It's possible that it will retain some positive effects upon longer use but I haven't found any studies on this. The erinacines and hericenones show pretty promising results on in vitro studies in nerve cell growth, and can be used to treat scertain types of nerve damage and increase nerve damage healing rate.
Any idea to why I keep getting an upset stomach everytime I have tried Lions Mane? I have tried it from different sellers too, powder form. I can't take any alcohol so I never tried the Alcohol LM tincures.
@@Man_eee See if you can get it fresh instead and try cooking it. You may have had trouble digesting the chitin of the cell wall of the fungi. Some supplements don't properly make them bioavailable beforehand.
@mycrodexmushrooms Wow okay interesting, that might be it. I have never tried it any other way bc I just didn't know what to do with it if I had a big fresh piece of it raw. I will have too try it out. So you say cook it and just eat it? How much would I ha e to eat?
@@naomio.7503 Macro dosing has helped the most. Usually 3 grams. Twice a month. My cravings for alcohol and crack have disappeared. It took about 2 months of dosing and I suddenly realized the cravings where gone. Now I know they can come back. But never in my life since beginning to use have the cravings disappeared. Be careful with psilocybin.
I have been microdosing psilocybin on and off for a couple years now to effectively get rid of depression. Since the last 6 months i've also started adding in lion's mane and it really feels like a good synergy. The lion's mane sorta increases my brain's RAM, while the psilocybin takes care of the brain's processor and videocard.
I don't know about lion's mane but psilocybin I would not describe like that. The analogy just isn't right. You be better off saying psilocybin does many many things and one thing is empting the recycle bin.
Dunno about that patent on mushroom cocktail for neurogenesis. Can I also patent a coffee blend that brings a buzz? You can't just patent nature, can you ?🤔
Yes, Stamet's is simply mixing what many folks, including myself, already have. I respect Stamet's but I occasionally hear him say things that just sound like blatant marketing (and that's a euphemism) on his part. He's gotta be a very rich man already. Nothing wrong with that in itself but it comes across as undignified and unbecoming of a man of science.
Monsanto has been doing it for years. In fact I believe it was Monsanto that created a loophole about patenting nature. Not that I agree with it at all.
Psychedelic definently have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like depression and anxiety, I'd like to try them but it's just hard to source here. Hope you can help.
I have been micro dosing on the batch of mushrooms I got from one guy online for the last few months for depression and anxiety and the results has been immeasurable. The world has beauty again whereas before it was grey and painful.
Can you tell us how someone can patent something that is composed of three natural ingredients? (Especially when one of those ingredients is considered illegal under US Federal Law?)
ChatGPT answered: In general, it is possible to obtain a patent for an invention that includes natural ingredients, as long as the invention meets the criteria for patentability. In the United States, the criteria for patentability are: Novelty: The invention must be new and not previously disclosed to the public. Non-obviousness: The invention must not be obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the relevant field of technology. Utility: The invention must have a useful application. Natural products or ingredients may be more difficult to patent because they are often considered to be part of the prior art or background knowledge in a particular field. In such cases, it may be necessary to demonstrate that the natural ingredients used in the invention are being used in a novel or non-obvious way that provides a useful result. This can be achieved by providing experimental data or other evidence of unexpected or advantageous properties of the combination of natural ingredients in the invention. If an inventor were to apply for a patent for an invention that includes an illegal substance, they would be risking prosecution and other legal consequences for their involvement in an illegal activity. [It goes on to basically say that if the government has made psilocybin legal to study for medicinal purposes, then it stands to reason that the government would also allow medicinal patents.]
@@Pothos969 ChatGPT: "No, you cannot patent bread. Patents are granted for inventions that are novel, non-obvious, and useful. You may be able to patent a specific process for making bread, or protect a recipe through other forms of intellectual property such as trade secret so that it is not disclosed to the public."
Just watched an incredible vid on that! My whole life we were told those are death caps, don't touch. Now I'm reading about so many people getting help from it. Amazing stuff.
hats off and i could tell you a great story about my escape from paxil . low dose spirit molecule got me off that nightmare drug which i did not need but they gave it to me and i took it as i was desperate . i ballooned . it didnt help me . i couldnt get off it .
I made a tincture of cubes I grew and Lions mane. Combined them. Microdosed it with some nootropic from natural stacks. And it was like taking the limitless pill.
I'd love to hear of a study combining hyperbaric oxygen therapy and microdosing psilocybin. I have done hyperbaric oxygen therapy for hearing loss because it can regrow nerves. I wonder how much this stack with Hyperbarics could help people and in what way.
corporate commercialization of mushrooms is only going to lead those who know about mushrooms to no longer speak freely about teaching others about mushroom cultivation! it's bad enough people are taking social media posts & turning them into ebooks for $9.99 a pop. Psilocybin With Lion's Mane is not a secret, I figured it out in my living room almost 3 years ago. and if they get an international patent I am just going to have to start telling people how to make their own capsules or freemixture for $40.00 a pound.
I am using lion mane with my brother right now. My brother has dyslexia and adhd couldnt study for 10 minutes,couldnt understand the subjects. I made him start bacopa monieri ,ashwaganda and lions mane he is studying 4 hours right now. I am gonna add psilocybin next week and it probably gonna be life changer for him and me since I have bipolar disorder. My olanzapine caused drug induced Parkinson and seconder hyperthyroidism due to lack of dopamine, so I decided to research proper mechanisms of depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder along with drug's mechanisms. My doctor diploma finally proved to be a useful thing.
@@astridwerewolf1648 None of those helps with dopamine levels,receptors ,hypothroidism , concentration or motivation. They are just for detoxification and Glicine has memory benefits, although bacopa monieri is better at memory retention, and it helps neurons to grow, which helps with adhd. Ashwganda is good at dealing with autoimmun diseases like hashimato which both my brother and I have,also gives relaxation effect so it helps with anxiety which is another symptom of Adhd. If you want to protect your brain from alzheimer your supplementations is superb but it is not our priority right now
@@docacuwatson I mean it is scientific as an alternative medicine can get except the psilocybin part since it is used as a phase 3 for depression right now. For Adhd it is just a suggestion but there are studies about it. For bacopa monnieri it is good at increasing memory (Documented) also increase motivation in some people(Observation). Make some people sleepy so take it with a grain of salt It is well documented that lion mane helps neuron growth so it could help Adhd but it is not documented for Adhd. Ashwaganda is for our Throid problems since we both have hashimato. It is not really that effective for throids but it gives relaxation so we use for anxiety(Documented) For my parkinson and akathism I have used tyrosine(Dopamine precursor) and 5 htp(Serotonin precursor) there are mixed results in these two due to their dosage differences I think since tyrozine dont do anything below 500 mg. This was a completely leap of faith for me since I didnt have any choice I was severely depressed my dopamine synthesis was on the floor so couldnt wean off my drugs(There isnt much medicinal things you can do since dopamine agonists makes things worse on the long run and the main treatment is waiting to pass away). At first, I took tyrosine 2 times a day then I lowered to once a day and once two days now I do not need it. My Parkinson and akathisia gone away on the first week then came back slightly when I lowered the dosage in 1 month I got rid of my dopamine deficiency completely and weaned off my antidepressants started using psilocybin instead. I didnt go into depression for 4 months, but there is a catch it is really difficult to adjust tyrosine dosages so I got into two hypomanic episodes due to that but since I also used 5 htp I didnt get into depression. Last two parts are completely observational and theoretical. I found this treatment by studying solely mechanisms of actions and taking a leap of faith. It may not work on other people. So it in not that scientific at all
This is a great video. I ate some psilocybin mushrooms a couple times in my early 20s. I remember it being a very pleasant experience. Now I'm 42. I haven't eaten psilocybin mushrooms since, but I've recently become interested in the therapeutic benefits of these mushrooms.
Thanks for the video Tony! Great as always. Just wanted to make a quick correction on one thing you said in the video which commonly gets said but isn't true. You said that Psilocybe Cyanescens are known as Blue Meanies, but that's not actually the case. These often get mistaken for Blue Meanies because they have "Cyanescens" in the name. But the real Blue Meanies do not come from the Psilocybe genus. Blue Meanies are Panaeolus Cyanescens, which is a whole separate genus than Psilocybe altogether. The mushrooms look quite a bit different than Psilocybes and most cubensis in particular. Blue Meanies (Panaeolus Cyanescens) are very small compared to Cubensis. They have very thin stipes, don't grow that tall, and are almost pure white, with extremely intense blue bruising. I know this isn't the biggest deal or anything, but I often hear this myth being propagated and even some spore vendors will call their Psilocybe Cyanescens by the name of Blue Meanies. But it's not too hard to look into the backstory of Blue Meanies and what they actually are. I think a bit of the confusion comes also from the fact that Panaeolus Cyanescens had it's named changed at some point from Copelandia to Panaeolus. But I assure you that the true Blue Meanies are not a Psilocybe mushroom, but rather a mushroom belonging to the Panaeolus genus!
Interesting that patents are coming that is leveraging what is largely publicly funded research. It's a bit sad to see that this research in Australia will be monopolized in North America where the marketing of Lions Mane will be manipulated by large industrial powers.
Seeing Paul as the Founder and CEO of the patenting company takes a little of my worry away. I think Paul just wants to ward off commercial competition for the stack. I highly doubt he'd choose to go after the lone microdoser for trying to establish personal peace or pursue spiritual betterment.
I was thinking the same thing. Glad someone else caught it as well. Psilocybe Cyanescens are also known as wavy caps and are wood lovers. They are known to contain higher amounts of psilocybin.
There's a lot of potential in psychedelics, I can't wait to try any of them mushroom specifically but it's just so hard to find a reliable source over here, l'll be glad if anyone can be of help
I just got back from the Mycomeditations retreat on February 28th. The best! They were so good to us and really put people first. I’m in awe of both their dedication and the effects of the trips. I’ve become a much calmer, more relaxed version of myself!
The war on drugs is lost as soon as it's waged. It's more important to offer safety and authenticity vs clandestine contraband. If you've ever re-produced you already know your kids aren't going to listen to you. I'd much rather allow them to experiment in safety. The bigger question....why do they NEED to escape in the first place. Yes some drugs have chemical hooks that lead to physical dependance, but that's NOT what addiction is about. Addiction is about coping with the cage you feel like you live in. If i was in the jungle during the Vietnam war, forced to kill people I know nothing about, I'd probably spend my time doing heroin too...like many of them did. I wouldn't want to be emotionally or mentally present either. The question then becomes; if we have such an epidemic of addiction, then what are we doing to create and perpetuate this jungle for addicts? They definitely feel isolated and alone, and prefer the cocaine laced water (just like in the rat park experiment) to the alternative. It's a kind of slow suicide. I think we are not aware enough of the circumstances our neighbors experience. We spend too much time competing with each other. We should look over our neighbors fence not to see if they have more than us, but if they have enough. We should share with those who don't. We should listen to those that are wounded. Survival of the fittest is something we've already conquered, it no longer serves us; we don't need that for survival anymore. We need compassion to grow further.
People call cocaine a "hard drug" yet you can buy Coca tea leaves in almost every grocery store in South America. It's basically like the green tea of South America. They give it to kids. So yea, we all need more public education about dosages and the consequences of higher doses for each drug. I used to think heroine was a "hard drug"...And it is...But poppy tea can be consumed several times before cravings begin and honestly the cravings arent even as strong as sugar cravings. In the Middle East poppy tea is served ceremoniously at funerals for obvious reasons. There is a time and a place for all drugs.
@@joelwhite3591 I actually want to make this a side hustle. I have access to tons of wood for free and I live on a coast full of tourists, gourmet restaurants and what not. My father knows a couple of chefs who would freak out if I handed them the mushroom. They'll love it
I feel like the psilocybin + lions mane + niacin stack has been common knowledge for years amongst people who are in to this sort of thing. How is that patentable?
Hi, I am from India. My son diagnosed with SSPE disease and there is no treatment for this in the world. Can you help me out. If any mushroom will help him. His age is 6 Year and I only have him . if any information please share.
If you have never done shrooms before I suggest you start with a low dose, consider lemon tekking for alleviation of short term and relatively minor stomach discomfort. We do not digest the cell walls of magic mushrooms but the discomfort will not last long and in low doses does not occur at all for with myself. If you do decide to trip, be in a safe place with someone you trust. If you must be alone, don't leave the house until the most intense part is over. Occasionally, a sensation of dysphoria may occur but will usually pass. I just remind myself (only once this occurred) that psilocybin is not toxic, I can't over dose from them and that the intense part of the trip will be over within two hours after "peaking". Also and btw, shrooms are in no way addictive. If you're really freaking out just stay in bed where you can't be harmed and let it happen. This all may sound very scary but knowledge is best. My most frightening trip left me feeling wonderful after I peaked. I did not regret taking them and noticed the anti-depressive effects for weeks afterwards. That was in the late 70s when I was a teenager. Many decades later I found a safe source for mushrooms and decided to both trip and micro-dose (when my depression got severe) again. With a little research I experienced incredible trips (2-3 times a year at most for me, each occasion being unique) and my depression was quashed from occasional micro-dosing. There are many excellent websites available for more thorough research. I take powdered Lion's Mane daily but I recently heard that the fruiting body of the mushroom is required for an effective result. The alcohol extracted pill form seems to be always sold out. May I ask which form of LM you have had such positive results with? Whatever the case, have a decent spring!
@@BAsed_AFro I can't find the video that explains it but It was done by Paul Stamets and he said put ice cubes on the fresh mushrooms, keep in fridge for at least 24 hours. The water will turn blue. It's easier on the gut than lemon tek or any other way that I've found. You can keep in fridge for a week or so. If I find the video I'll let you know.
The whole "hard drugs" thing is pretty strange wording. pot, Coke and mushrooms are natural from plants. even morphine is natural from the poppy plant. Then you have the hard chemical stuff like meth and other similar drugs which could be actually considered "hard". These natural drugs, like alcohol have been with humanity for thousands of years. But for some weird reason modern society feels like banning them. Possibly pharma driven bans.
1 mg would be .01 gm (not .1 gm), which would appear to be a tiny amount and much less than any other microdosing regimen that I have seen mentioned. I don't see how such a small amount of Psilocybin would be clinically effective in any way.
Stamets literally critized a guy in one of his books for patenting a technique for growing morels, now he's patenting a combination of naturally occurring compounds. SMH
i wanna see the person who takes 200mg of niacin and be like "i didnt get a flush, its all fine......all fine....." I think they rather mean 100mg or 50-100mg, of course if they mean the flush version of niacin
Isaiah 28:3-5 KJV -🍄 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,🍄
Been using that combination with Lion's Mane and Niacin for a while. NOT happy that someone is trying to make a patent on something that we already have available to us. I've seen how this can go bad!
At 21:10 -- It would also be interesting to see how the over 55 age group would have performed with just lion's mane, or lion's mane + B3 (i.e. the Stammets stack without psilocybin). If they performed as well as the PS+LM+B3 group, this kind of treatment would be available to more people given the legal status of psilocybin in many countries.
I can tell u for sure Lions mane has improved my memory considerably, processing too. Been Taking it daily for 2+ years. No doybtvabout it, wife has commented Many times.
@@barneyrubble4827 that's great to hear. I give my mother lion's mane also. She is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's, so it might be too late for her, but even if it only helps a little, it's worth it.
It is considered bad form to name a species you discovered after yourself. Just thought I would offer this explanation for why Paul Stamets didn't name any of his discoveries after himself.
Ever notice how sharp the minds of mushroom folks are? I just started microdosing cubensis last week twice and now feel more anxious and low mood. hmmmmmm Not bragging ...but at age 70 I am the third best score on Deadpool pinball in a very busy arcade. I also tried lions mane 1,200 mg daily for 60 days with no increase in acuity, memory etc... Maybe Im already "there"? I vape high cbd hemp so maybe thats why? I took about .10gm then bumped it up with no effect.
How do you pantent natures gifts to humans by just combining two naturally grown ingredients? Anyone? I am not awake yet and maybe just not comprehending correctly.

@13:55 - god forbid people actually want to get high! Lol, this is such a weird thing to do. Obviously, if people want to get high, they can and will. There's plenty of legit over the counter things on sale that can get you high. Doing this is pretty clearly just to maintain a certain perception about the product / brand, and in the end just comes off as kind of puritanical and pearl clutchy.
I have been on Sprout's brand Lions Maine Tincture drops since December and my memory is remarkable. I have never like mushrooms. 🍄 I don't like the taste or the way they look...that's why the chose the drops.
I'm not for combining in mass quantities. To me it is a dosage variant of a base amount. Unless I have a pill cutter the correct amount is known after, say, 5 dosages. I would buy from a stable company that had, say, a dispensor that gave amounts in graduations and packaged that in a capsules for sale. Also Male & Female amounts are not the same in my book of fair play.
1mg of psilocybin/psilocin is an interesting pick for the stamets stack. Just looking at the research article from pubmed you highlighted, they used .1-.3g or 100-300mg… Using only 1mg of psilocybin starts to seem like a scam unfortunately, and I love Paul stamets haha
I like Paul,too,but,the supplements he sells are NOT made with the whole mushroom. Instead,mycelium grown on rice…which is NOT nearly as good as medicine made from the WHOLE fruit body. It’s been a couple years since I checked his products,so,maybe he’s changed 🤷♀️I hope so….
hes been saying that for years: it appears like that with all mushrooms - the effect is even greater if you take really small doses, but over a longer period of time .. + pauses sometimes, wich increase that even further
@@toneenorman2135 they are still mycelium based, but I don’t knock his company for this as there’s different benefits to mycelium vs fruiting body and it’s different per mushroom. I agree that certainly from a cost standpoint, it’s cheaper to sell mycelium based products tho.
@@L4Nigav while that may be true from anecdotal or past experience… it does not change the fact that the product they submitted for patent and the product used in research studies used to verify their claims was completely different. The main selling/marketing point of the product is obviously the psilocybin, however you had to use 100x the amount of psilocybin in research trials to see a significant difference between control groups. And that was only in 1 categorical endpoint. A bit disappointing, but the product isn’t even released yet so I’m hopeful! Psilocybin has the chance to radically change medicine and mental health for the better and I don’t want to see it taken advantage of, or the opportunity squandered and set back another 30-40 years
No one should be allowed to patent this. The people at the patent office need to wake up. It's no different than a recipe. You can't patent a recipe. You can't come up with an idea for Carrot-onion soup and then patent it. Anyone can make any recipe they want. That's why big companies like KFC and Coca-Cola need to keep their recipes secret. Imagine someone takes a niacin vitamin and then makes some lions mane soup with magic mushrooms. You'd go to jail for patent infringement for taking a vitamin and making soup. The patent office needs to stop blindly handing out patents to anyone who comes along with an idea. The patent office obviously isn't reviewing these patents for validity before they hand them out. The person who patented this and the patent office themselves need to be sued!!! At the very least the patent needs to be reviewed. This is no different than the scientists who tried to patent broccoli sprouts because they discovered they contained high amounts of sulforaphane. Nothing but pure greed. Plain and simple.
How can they patent combining these three natural things. Totally against a corporation having patented a stack that I'm already doing. How does it pass the tests for a patent!?
I have tried ketamine and found it useful but it is financially unfeasible to continue. No idea how to find psilocybin to microdose. I have no desire to use mushroom recreationally, I have in the past, but I would rather use them therapeutically.
If you are reading this, start growing, it’s not that hard and you will reap the benefits. Growing gourmets on the other hand is harder and requires more equipment
I can’t stand this…. Every time I hear about Big Pharm and all of these patents I get so discouraged. ZERO support from me. The Patents on mdma + lsd ran my cup over.
I’m stunned, that in a country where there (is) used to be a complete anti establishment around any type of drug, that on a non chemically and/or non synthetic and non harmful completely natural drug they find a way to patent it!! It’s sad to see that a natural product that can be beneficial for so many people, a small group finds a way to make it exclusive.
We will just find our own , and grow our own , they are pretty easy to cultivate at home, people will take the “safe” pharmaceuticals version of it but we know that the actual chemical comes from a naturally growing mushroom that is all over the world
There does not have to be a law on the books that specifically states that something is legal - if there is no law stating something is illegal, then it is legal. Period. You do not need a government's permission to do something if there is nothing restricting it.
I was part of this study on the phones. The ringer tapping was extremely bad. I ended up quitting out of frustration specifically at this finger tapping. I bet many didn’t even pay attention to the numbers but I would watch the taps not count on a consistent basis unless I went slow or alternated fingers (cheating). Just fyi some flaws existed in this study. I’m not sure how many people they got interested and were able to hold their interest in reporting all this info daily who where in the control group. What’s the interest or engagement of those not “participating” in the study but just doing work for it. I would venture much less interest in this way, and much harder to hold their interest for any period of time let alone an extended time period.
Got like halfway into your comment and it hit me... maybe you were the problem? Lol you quit a study out of frustration.. you bet many didn't even pay attention? You mean you bet many were like you with some type of ADHD-like symptoms that cause you to, oh idk.. not pay attention or get frustrated easily? Lol. I'm just looking at comments instead of the video, but it sounds like you were told to do this thing and you got bored or frustrated and blamed the study for you agreeing to do something boring
"Blue meanies" are Panaeolus cyanescens not Psilocybe cyanescens. Psilocybe cyanescens are the "wavy caps" that grow on wood chips in the Pacific Northwest. Good episode though.
Hi! One question, I already have the lion’s mane and psilocybin both are drops (extracts) is is posible to mix it?? I started with lion’s mane 1 week ago with 10 drops that’s about 3 G … do you think If it’s possible to get half and half to increase the benefits?? Thankfully Great job 👏🏼👏🏼
It's a bit of a shame to hear people are patenting mushrooms (or extracts thereof). It really sounds like big pharma, not what I expect for people who advocate for the benefits of mushrooms. I'll stick with the whole mushrooms.
The effects of magic mushrooms are like a reset button for my mind. They help me clear my thoughts and feel refreshed.
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.
Ive started taking mushroom powders in my morning tea and give supplements to one of my teenagers. Such a difference. Mushrooms are the hidden gem. Mother nature has everything we need.
Golden teachers has been my go-to mushroom for months, it has helped in my recovery journey
How do you get your supplies of psychedelic products and supplements?
where do you fetch from?
There is no need for commercialization of mushrooms only decriminalization and is abhorrent to allow pharmaceutical companies to monopolize it. I do not support the industrialization of mushrooms when they are more than accessible to the individual easily and safely. Now having psychotherapist and people trained in the therapeutic aspect is necessary so you don't have ignorant people out here making issues worse, but I will not support pharmaceutical companies or mushroom dispensaries.
@Will Smith, amen and thank you. I don’t understand why people think it’s so cool and progressive to hand these cottage industries, such as cannabis or mushroom farming, to wealthy profiteers. Legalization is nothing more than an upward transfer of wealth.
I agree with most of this, except that I think commercialization and pharmaceutical production will not necessarily be bad. I think they can coexist with personal use of mushrooms, and will fill a different need. Also, I think that decriminalization does not go far enough. I think legalization is necessary because decriminalization typically only covers small amounts of a substance for personal use, but still criminalizes sale and distribution. Legalization is necessary in order for business like the dispensary in Vancouver that Tony talked about in this video to be able to operate safely. Not all jurisdictions are as lax as Vancouver.
I agree. As soon as the pharmaceutical companies are able to patent this and legally sell it to use for prescriptions, you can say goodbye to the idea of decriminalization. Personally, I would rather things stay the way they are than see this precious medicine exploited by our government.
@BrianOSheaPlus good points, legalization is great for the individual but I'm not sure im on board with dispensaries small or large scale. Thank you for sharing your views on the topic.
@ender5023 with legalization comes regulation and that doesn't usually work out well for the common man.
Research shows that psilocybin mushrooms have promising results for mental health support, particularly in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
My recovery journey was supported by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms.

Yea. If it wasn’t for the mushroom, I would still be hating myself and my life for staying in a toxic environment from my last job. I wanted to quit before to change my life, so I did
Maybe opioids? Not mushrooms but very similar thing (LSD) also allowed me to break free from a very tough addiction that I thought would be 100% impossible to break free from with the help of medical intervention and that I'd be forced to just greatly suffer for 2 weeks no matter what, but yes it saved me
People are missing that this stack was invented by Paul Stamets and he was the one who filed the patent. This is the smart move. He’s patenting it precisely because he doesn’t want it to be scooped up by big pharmaceutical companies. He wants it to be an over the counter vitamin supplement in every store
Precisely. It also sets a precedent for clinical trials and medical research l, currently banned by being a Scheduled Drug
It is already an over the counter vitamin in the original form.
I think niacin is part of his stack too.
Nature cannot be patented. He can try but he just smooth became what he fought his whole life.

Psilocybin is an ancient and powerful medicine. It is amusing that “modern” medicine is only now trying to understand what Indigenous people have know for a millennia.
Anybody who has undergone intend psilocybin therapy will understand that trying to get life changing therapeutic benefits of psychedelics without the trip is laughable.that’s what rattles you out of depression.

I can testify to dr_xzavier, he’s good.
@Maverick Brownsure!! dr_xzavier.
Yes and he delivers anonymously.
I experienced an ego death after taking 5g of penis envy. Best experience of my life. Depression is non existent. Childhood trauma no longer plague me. This is not a drug, it's a medicine. These mushrooms did what years of therapy could never do.
The feeling I felt from taking shrooms as a whole was spectacular, I felt completely supported.
Heard so much about magic mushrooms i'd like to give it a try please where do I get from?
I can't speak for everyone magic shrooms rejuvenated me, No doubt about that. It lifted an existential angst that I have been carrying for years. It never came back.
dr.butlershrooms products are as well vegan friendly.
dr.wheelershrooms is the best, he's been my supplier for anything psychedelics.
Even just the thought of a mushroom patent is disappointing. That'd be like patenting love
I agree. Slapping greed right over beauty
Stamets has filed lots of patents. The question is does he try and enforce them. As far as I know he doesn’t. The patent then serves to prevent other companies from patenting and enforcing that patent.
I think he is wrong on some things but right to patent his ideas so they can’t be stolen by corporate America.
@@karlsapp7134 I get this. It's just now he leading the pack on filing these patents and if he successful others can file with the intent to enforce. This reminds me of herbal company trying to trademark name firecider even though it's something herbalists have been selling and making for ever. That company lost and went under thankfully. All can continue using the name.

@@tonyrandall3146 Thats the spirit! But "so what" has led to the "Generational Toxic Psychosis" we are seeing now. Multiple generations of "patented" chemicals derived from already working and natural snbstances being marketed to everyone for the past several generations.

@@marcodeleon7047 yup. I see a little clearer now. Unfortunate.
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I suffered severe trauma several years ago after divorce with my wife. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Spent my whole life fighting bipolar. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my son recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the
morning after. So no hangovers. No
depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now
have a more calm mind
How can I find him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.benfungi. 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.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
I need guidance I can do 400-500 ugs of Lucy and 3-5 of shrooms and don’t get visuals a higher dose just makes me more disoriented and voices in my head non stop.

Psychedelics helped me a lot, they are the reason why i didn't take my life when I was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, l'm doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
@right_trips is the best ever i must say.
Nice job. FYI you misidentified Panaeolus cyanescens in this video at 4:55 (mistakenly calling it Psilocybe cyanescens which are a wood lover species with brown caps). Also the nickname "Blue Meanies" was first associated with "Panaeolus cyanescens" and is not the nickname of Psilocybe cyanescens. There is also a cubensis strain called "blue meanie" (whoever is responsible for that should be flogged, haha).
I'm in Detroit, the second city in Michigan to decriminalize Psilocybin containing mushrooms with Ann Arbor being the first and Hazel Park rounding up the number three spot two years ago with hopefully more to come and eventually legalization 🙂

Patenting something that has already existed for years👍

@@ender5023 talking about the mixture of the two
@@tylerkong4940 Yeah Paul had told people about it in his talks for some time.
I can understand patenting a hybrid, but patenting a stack is like patenting a chocolate chip cookie. Garbage practice that inflicts undue hardship on practitioners and recipients.
Wrote a bachelors thesis on lions mane, and I can tell you that they definitely have a positive, but reversible, effect on people with dementia. They don't have that high of an effect on anxiety or depression, but they do increase curiosity and decrease anxiety in rats with dementia. It increases short term memory, but this is also reversible with a 1 month daily dosage schedule. It's possible that it will retain some positive effects upon longer use but I haven't found any studies on this.
The erinacines and hericenones show pretty promising results on in vitro studies in nerve cell growth, and can be used to treat scertain types of nerve damage and increase nerve damage healing rate.
Any idea to why I keep getting an upset stomach everytime I have tried Lions Mane? I have tried it from different sellers too, powder form. I can't take any alcohol so I never tried the Alcohol LM tincures.

Be careful with psilocybin.
This is the crux of Dana Larsen’s vision - to help addicts get off harmful drugs. The way CTV botched that was beyond cringey
Deems and Ibogaine works better
I have been microdosing psilocybin on and off for a couple years now to effectively get rid of depression. Since the last 6 months i've also started adding in lion's mane and it really feels like a good synergy. The lion's mane sorta increases my brain's RAM, while the psilocybin takes care of the brain's processor and videocard.
I don't know about lion's mane but psilocybin I would not describe like that. The analogy just isn't right. You be better off saying psilocybin does many many things and one thing is empting the recycle bin.

Yes, Stamet's is simply mixing what many folks, including myself, already have. I respect Stamet's but I occasionally hear him say things that just sound like blatant marketing (and that's a euphemism) on his part. He's gotta be a very rich man already. Nothing wrong with that in itself but it comes across as undignified and unbecoming of a man of science.
Not in EU in the USA I think you can.
Exactly, How can a corporation patent a stack I'm already doing. How can they pass the tests to get something so natural patented!?
Monsanto has been doing it for years. In fact I believe it was Monsanto that created a loophole about patenting nature. Not that I agree with it at all.

Grow your own. All you need are spores to start.
Can you tell us how someone can patent something that is composed of three natural ingredients? (Especially when one of those ingredients is considered illegal under US Federal Law?)
ChatGPT answered: In general, it is possible to obtain a patent for an invention that includes natural ingredients, as long as the invention meets the criteria for patentability. In the United States, the criteria for patentability are:
Novelty: The invention must be new and not previously disclosed to the public.
Non-obviousness: The invention must not be obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the relevant field of technology.
Utility: The invention must have a useful application.
Natural products or ingredients may be more difficult to patent because they are often considered to be part of the prior art or background knowledge in a particular field. In such cases, it may be necessary to demonstrate that the natural ingredients used in the invention are being used in a novel or non-obvious way that provides a useful result. This can be achieved by providing experimental data or other evidence of unexpected or advantageous properties of the combination of natural ingredients in the invention.
If an inventor were to apply for a patent for an invention that includes an illegal substance, they would be risking prosecution and other legal consequences for their involvement in an illegal activity.
[It goes on to basically say that if the government has made psilocybin legal to study for medicinal purposes, then it stands to reason that the government would also allow medicinal patents.]
Because they don’t occur naturally together in nature.
So, I can patent "Bread"?
@@Pothos969 ChatGPT: "No, you cannot patent bread. Patents are granted for inventions that are novel, non-obvious, and useful. You may be able to patent a specific process for making bread, or protect a recipe through other forms of intellectual property such as trade secret so that it is not disclosed to the public."

it's bad enough people are taking social media posts & turning them into ebooks for $9.99 a pop.
Psilocybin With Lion's Mane is not a secret, I figured it out in my living room almost 3 years ago.
and if they get an international patent I am just going to have to start telling people how to make their own capsules or freemixture for $40.00 a pound.
I am using lion mane with my brother right now. My brother has dyslexia and adhd couldnt study for 10 minutes,couldnt understand the subjects. I made him start bacopa monieri ,ashwaganda and lions mane he is studying 4 hours right now. I am gonna add psilocybin next week and it probably gonna be life changer for him and me since I have bipolar disorder.
My olanzapine caused drug induced Parkinson and seconder hyperthyroidism due to lack of dopamine, so I decided to research proper mechanisms of depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder along with drug's mechanisms. My doctor diploma finally proved to be a useful thing.
Get him to take NAC supplements and Glycine supplements.
@@astridwerewolf1648 None of those helps with dopamine levels,receptors ,hypothroidism , concentration or motivation. They are just for detoxification and Glicine has memory benefits, although bacopa monieri is better at memory retention, and it helps neurons to grow, which helps with adhd. Ashwganda is good at dealing with autoimmun diseases like hashimato which both my brother and I have,also gives relaxation effect so it helps with anxiety which is another symptom of Adhd. If you want to protect your brain from alzheimer your supplementations is superb but it is not our priority right now
Hopefully you are writing a scientific paper because your information is important to share for others who have these conditions.
@@docacuwatson I mean it is scientific as an alternative medicine can get except the psilocybin part since it is used as a phase 3 for depression right now. For Adhd it is just a suggestion but there are studies about it.
For bacopa monnieri it is good at increasing memory (Documented) also increase motivation in some people(Observation). Make some people sleepy so take it with a grain of salt
It is well documented that lion mane helps neuron growth so it could help Adhd but it is not documented for Adhd.
Ashwaganda is for our Throid problems since we both have hashimato. It is not really that effective for throids but it gives relaxation so we use for anxiety(Documented)
For my parkinson and akathism I have used tyrosine(Dopamine precursor) and 5 htp(Serotonin precursor) there are mixed results in these two due to their dosage differences I think since tyrozine dont do anything below 500 mg. This was a completely leap of faith for me since I didnt have any choice I was severely depressed my dopamine synthesis was on the floor so couldnt wean off my drugs(There isnt much medicinal things you can do since dopamine agonists makes things worse on the long run and the main treatment is waiting to pass away).
At first, I took tyrosine 2 times a day then I lowered to once a day and once two days now I do not need it. My Parkinson and akathisia gone away on the first week then came back slightly when I lowered the dosage in 1 month I got rid of my dopamine deficiency completely and weaned off my antidepressants started using psilocybin instead. I didnt go into depression for 4 months, but there is a catch it is really difficult to adjust tyrosine dosages so I got into two hypomanic episodes due to that but since I also used 5 htp I didnt get into depression.
Last two parts are completely observational and theoretical. I found this treatment by studying solely mechanisms of actions and taking a leap of faith. It may not work on other people. So it in not that scientific at all
How the hell can a natural ingredient be patented. So I can go and patent an chicken now eyh
This is a great video. I ate some psilocybin mushrooms a couple times in my early 20s. I remember it being a very pleasant experience. Now I'm 42. I haven't eaten psilocybin mushrooms since, but I've recently become interested in the therapeutic benefits of these mushrooms.
Putting a patent on the combination lions main and psilocybin is like putting a patent on coffee with milk... I dont get it....?
I’m in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and my fav shrooms so far is jedi mind fu€£
Thanks for the video Tony! Great as always. Just wanted to make a quick correction on one thing you said in the video which commonly gets said but isn't true. You said that Psilocybe Cyanescens are known as Blue Meanies, but that's not actually the case. These often get mistaken for Blue Meanies because they have "Cyanescens" in the name. But the real Blue Meanies do not come from the Psilocybe genus. Blue Meanies are Panaeolus Cyanescens, which is a whole separate genus than Psilocybe altogether. The mushrooms look quite a bit different than Psilocybes and most cubensis in particular. Blue Meanies (Panaeolus Cyanescens) are very small compared to Cubensis. They have very thin stipes, don't grow that tall, and are almost pure white, with extremely intense blue bruising. I know this isn't the biggest deal or anything, but I often hear this myth being propagated and even some spore vendors will call their Psilocybe Cyanescens by the name of Blue Meanies. But it's not too hard to look into the backstory of Blue Meanies and what they actually are. I think a bit of the confusion comes also from the fact that Panaeolus Cyanescens had it's named changed at some point from Copelandia to Panaeolus. But I assure you that the true Blue Meanies are not a Psilocybe mushroom, but rather a mushroom belonging to the Panaeolus genus!
Thank you for clarification . Positive knowledge ,
Interesting that patents are coming that is leveraging what is largely publicly funded research. It's a bit sad to see that this research in Australia will be monopolized in North America where the marketing of Lions Mane will be manipulated by large industrial powers.
Paul Stamets isnt a large industrial power…??
Seeing Paul as the Founder and CEO of the patenting company takes a little of my worry away. I think Paul just wants to ward off commercial competition for the stack. I highly doubt he'd choose to go after the lone microdoser for trying to establish personal peace or pursue spiritual betterment.
I guess you meant to say panaeolus cyanescens in the first clip ( the true blue meanies)-not psylocybe ( a wood lover).
Definitely, if I said "psilocybe cyanescens" that was an error
I was thinking the same thing. Glad someone else caught it as well. Psilocybe Cyanescens are also known as wavy caps and are wood lovers. They are known to contain higher amounts of psilocybin.
Great news brother! Psilocybe Cyanescense is called the wavycap if im not mistaking, The Blue Meanie is the Panaeolus Cyanescense.
I was scrolling down the comments to see if anybody else had noticed😂

The war on drugs is lost as soon as it's waged. It's more important to offer safety and authenticity vs clandestine contraband. If you've ever re-produced you already know your kids aren't going to listen to you. I'd much rather allow them to experiment in safety. The bigger question....why do they NEED to escape in the first place. Yes some drugs have chemical hooks that lead to physical dependance, but that's NOT what addiction is about. Addiction is about coping with the cage you feel like you live in. If i was in the jungle during the Vietnam war, forced to kill people I know nothing about, I'd probably spend my time doing heroin too...like many of them did. I wouldn't want to be emotionally or mentally present either. The question then becomes; if we have such an epidemic of addiction, then what are we doing to create and perpetuate this jungle for addicts? They definitely feel isolated and alone, and prefer the cocaine laced water (just like in the rat park experiment) to the alternative. It's a kind of slow suicide. I think we are not aware enough of the circumstances our neighbors experience. We spend too much time competing with each other. We should look over our neighbors fence not to see if they have more than us, but if they have enough. We should share with those who don't. We should listen to those that are wounded. Survival of the fittest is something we've already conquered, it no longer serves us; we don't need that for survival anymore. We need compassion to grow further.
BEAUTIFUL AND SO TRUE.
i did not know there were wavy caps in Jamaica. I also thought Panaeolous cyanescens were blue meanies, not Psilocybe cyanescens
People call cocaine a "hard drug" yet you can buy Coca tea leaves in almost every grocery store in South America. It's basically like the green tea of South America. They give it to kids. So yea, we all need more public education about dosages and the consequences of higher doses for each drug.
I used to think heroine was a "hard drug"...And it is...But poppy tea can be consumed several times before cravings begin and honestly the cravings arent even as strong as sugar cravings. In the Middle East poppy tea is served ceremoniously at funerals for obvious reasons.
There is a time and a place for all drugs.
Allowing people to patent stacks is an innovation stifling practice.
I need to find out if lion's mane will grow on mahogany. Will it work?
@@joelwhite3591 I actually want to make this a side hustle.
I have access to tons of wood for free and I live on a coast full of tourists, gourmet restaurants and what not.
My father knows a couple of chefs who would freak out if I handed them the mushroom. They'll love it
I feel like the psilocybin + lions mane + niacin stack has been common knowledge for years amongst people who are in to this sort of thing. How is that patentable?
If it's truly already common knowledge, then under patent law it's called "prior art" and is _not_ patentable.
Hi, I am from India. My son diagnosed with SSPE disease and there is no treatment for this in the world. Can you help me out. If any mushroom will help him. His age is 6 Year and I only have him . if any information please share.

I have been on just Lion's mane for 1+ month and the results are amazing. I have shrooms too but don't feel like consuming them
What are your benefits that you have see? I have had a clearer mind. Less brain fog.
If you have never done shrooms before I suggest you start with a low dose, consider lemon tekking for alleviation of short term and relatively minor stomach discomfort. We do not digest the cell walls of magic mushrooms but the discomfort will not last long and in low doses does not occur at all for with myself. If you do decide to trip, be in a safe place with someone you trust. If you must be alone, don't leave the house until the most intense part is over. Occasionally, a sensation of dysphoria may occur but will usually pass. I just remind myself (only once this occurred) that psilocybin is not toxic, I can't over dose from them and that the intense part of the trip will be over within two hours after "peaking". Also and btw, shrooms are in no way addictive. If you're really freaking out just stay in bed where you can't be harmed and let it happen. This all may sound very scary but knowledge is best. My most frightening trip left me feeling wonderful after I peaked. I did not regret taking them and noticed the anti-depressive effects for weeks afterwards. That was in the late 70s when I was a teenager. Many decades later I found a safe source for mushrooms and decided to both trip and micro-dose (when my depression got severe) again. With a little research I experienced incredible trips (2-3 times a year at most for me, each occasion being unique) and my depression was quashed from occasional micro-dosing. There are many excellent websites available for more thorough research. I take powdered Lion's Mane daily but I recently heard that the fruiting body of the mushroom is required for an effective result. The alcohol extracted pill form seems to be always sold out. May I ask which form of LM you have had such positive results with? Whatever the case, have a decent spring!
@@Alsatiagent I put ice on fresh mushrooms , put in fridge and drink the blue water. I learned this from an expert on this channel.
@@quake2u What's that like exactly?
@@BAsed_AFro I can't find the video that explains it but It was done by Paul Stamets and he said put ice cubes on the fresh mushrooms, keep in fridge for at least 24 hours. The water will turn blue. It's easier on the gut than lemon tek or any other way that I've found. You can keep in fridge for a week or so. If I find the video I'll let you know.
I know a guy who’s suffering from PTSD, social anxiety disorder and depression. What’s the best kinds of shrooms that would treat all of the above?
Liams_spores_
I did the JRE trip, lions mane, cordyceps, alpha brain instant, mushrooms, edible weed.
The whole "hard drugs" thing is pretty strange wording. pot, Coke and mushrooms are natural from plants. even morphine is natural from the poppy plant. Then you have the hard chemical stuff like meth and other similar drugs which could be actually considered "hard". These natural drugs, like alcohol have been with humanity for thousands of years. But for some weird reason modern society feels like banning them. Possibly pharma driven bans.
1 mg would be .01 gm (not .1 gm), which would appear to be a tiny amount and much less than any other microdosing regimen that I have seen mentioned. I don't see how such a small amount of Psilocybin would be clinically effective in any way.
1mg of *Psiloycbin* which would be roughly equivalent to .1 g of dried mushrooms (obviously depending on the species etc.)
Stamets literally critized a guy in one of his books for patenting a technique for growing morels, now he's patenting a combination of naturally occurring compounds. SMH
i wanna see the person who takes 200mg of niacin and be like "i didnt get a flush, its all fine......all fine....." I think they rather mean 100mg or 50-100mg, of course if they mean the flush version of niacin
The CEO of MycoMedica is Paul Samets. Hes just funding his own confirmation bias as always.
Stop patenting gods gifts 😂
But how else will he make unholy amounts of money?
Isaiah 28:3-5 KJV -🍄 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,🍄
Been using that combination with Lion's Mane and Niacin for a while. NOT happy that someone is trying to make a patent on something that we already have available to us. I've seen how this can go bad!
Look up benedict_spores
I eat my eggs with bacon. Sure hope theire not going to patent that too..
So can I get a patent for combining peanut butter & jelly? 🤦
At 21:10 -- It would also be interesting to see how the over 55 age group would have performed with just lion's mane, or lion's mane + B3 (i.e. the Stammets stack without psilocybin). If they performed as well as the PS+LM+B3 group, this kind of treatment would be available to more people given the legal status of psilocybin in many countries.
I can tell u for sure Lions mane has improved my memory considerably, processing too. Been Taking it daily for 2+ years. No doybtvabout it, wife has commented Many times.
@@barneyrubble4827 that's great to hear. I give my mother lion's mane also. She is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's, so it might be too late for her, but even if it only helps a little, it's worth it.
04:55, CORRECTION: You mean panaeolus cyanescens (aka blue meanies) dunglovers, NOT psilocybe cyanescens (aka wavy caps) woodlovers
Big corporate greed is going to ruin shrooms
It is considered bad form to name a species you discovered after yourself. Just thought I would offer this explanation for why Paul Stamets didn't name any of his discoveries after himself.
about as stupid as legalizing cannabis only for medical purposes.
Patents are exactly why we as civilization cannot have nice things.

Ever notice how sharp the minds of mushroom folks are?
I just started microdosing cubensis last week twice and now feel more anxious and low mood. hmmmmmm
Not bragging ...but at age 70 I am the third best score on Deadpool pinball in a very busy arcade. I also tried lions mane
1,200 mg daily for 60 days with no increase in acuity, memory etc...
Maybe Im already "there"? I vape high cbd hemp so maybe thats why? I took about .10gm then bumped it up with no effect.
How do you pantent natures gifts to humans by just combining two naturally grown ingredients? Anyone? I am not awake yet and maybe just not comprehending correctly.
A lot of pharmaceutical medication is simply based on plants unfortunately.

I’ve got mushrooms 🍄 …..
@13:55 - god forbid people actually want to get high! Lol, this is such a weird thing to do. Obviously, if people want to get high, they can and will. There's plenty of legit over the counter things on sale that can get you high. Doing this is pretty clearly just to maintain a certain perception about the product / brand, and in the end just comes off as kind of puritanical and pearl clutchy.
wait, that guy is selling lsd? xD
I have been on Sprout's brand Lions Maine Tincture drops since December and my memory is remarkable. I have never like mushrooms. 🍄 I don't like the taste or the way they look...that's why the chose the drops.
I'm not for combining in mass quantities. To me it is a dosage variant of a base amount. Unless I have a pill cutter the correct amount is known after, say, 5 dosages. I would buy from a stable company that had, say, a dispensor that gave amounts in graduations and packaged that in a capsules for sale. Also Male & Female amounts are not the same in my book of fair play.
1mg of psilocybin/psilocin is an interesting pick for the stamets stack.
Just looking at the research article from pubmed you highlighted, they used .1-.3g or 100-300mg…
Using only 1mg of psilocybin starts to seem like a scam unfortunately, and I love Paul stamets haha
I could totally see companies selling what amounts to a couple dollars worth of shrooms in tablet form and charging people $60 for them
I like Paul,too,but,the supplements he sells are NOT made with the whole mushroom. Instead,mycelium grown on rice…which is NOT nearly as good as medicine made from the WHOLE fruit body. It’s been a couple years since I checked his products,so,maybe he’s changed 🤷♀️I hope so….
hes been saying that for years: it appears like that with all mushrooms - the effect is even greater if you take really small doses, but over a longer period of time .. + pauses sometimes, wich increase that even further
@@toneenorman2135 they are still mycelium based, but I don’t knock his company for this as there’s different benefits to mycelium vs fruiting body and it’s different per mushroom. I agree that certainly from a cost standpoint, it’s cheaper to sell mycelium based products tho.
@@L4Nigav while that may be true from anecdotal or past experience… it does not change the fact that the product they submitted for patent and the product used in research studies used to verify their claims was completely different. The main selling/marketing point of the product is obviously the psilocybin, however you had to use 100x the amount of psilocybin in research trials to see a significant difference between control groups. And that was only in 1 categorical endpoint. A bit disappointing, but the product isn’t even released yet so I’m hopeful! Psilocybin has the chance to radically change medicine and mental health for the better and I don’t want to see it taken advantage of, or the opportunity squandered and set back another 30-40 years
No one should be allowed to patent this. The people at the patent office need to wake up. It's no different than a recipe. You can't patent a recipe. You can't come up with an idea for Carrot-onion soup and then patent it. Anyone can make any recipe they want. That's why big companies like KFC and Coca-Cola need to keep their recipes secret. Imagine someone takes a niacin vitamin and then makes some lions mane soup with magic mushrooms. You'd go to jail for patent infringement for taking a vitamin and making soup. The patent office needs to stop blindly handing out patents to anyone who comes along with an idea. The patent office obviously isn't reviewing these patents for validity before they hand them out. The person who patented this and the patent office themselves need to be sued!!! At the very least the patent needs to be reviewed. This is no different than the scientists who tried to patent broccoli sprouts because they discovered they contained high amounts of sulforaphane. Nothing but pure greed. Plain and simple.
How can they patent combining these three natural things. Totally against a corporation having patented a stack that I'm already doing. How does it pass the tests for a patent!?
People shouldn't be able to patent nature. Just cause they contained it.
I have tried ketamine and found it useful but it is financially unfeasible to continue. No idea how to find psilocybin to microdose. I have no desire to use mushroom recreationally, I have in the past, but I would rather use them therapeutically.
Blue meanies😂, the ones around here in cow pies, are the smaller types, I don't know the Latin names but it's rural southwestern VA
If you are reading this, start growing, it’s not that hard and you will reap the benefits. Growing gourmets on the other hand is harder and requires more equipment
Dont hurt anyone else, hopefully not do any harm to yourself and everything in moderation. This world is full of medicine if we look.
I almost never view videos more than 20 min long. Please make them shorter so it's more viewable.
Psilocybe cyanesens isn't called a blue meanie anywhere on earth.
He was mistaken it's Paneaolus cyanescens and they are called blue meanies

We should officially dub this mushroom 'The Lionocybin'.
I’m stunned, that in a country where there (is) used to be a complete anti establishment around any type of drug, that on a non chemically and/or non synthetic and non harmful completely natural drug they find a way to patent it!! It’s sad to see that a natural product that can be beneficial for so many people, a small group finds a way to make it exclusive.
We will just find our own , and grow our own , they are pretty easy to cultivate at home, people will take the “safe” pharmaceuticals version of it but we know that the actual chemical comes from a naturally growing mushroom that is all over the world
the definition of pharma is greed
There does not have to be a law on the books that specifically states that something is legal - if there is no law stating something is illegal, then it is legal. Period.
You do not need a government's permission to do something if there is nothing restricting it.
This is my first mushroom grow but if everything goes well, I will have ~3kg Lion's Mane to "microdose".
Ah, Mr. Eiht. Isn't this uncannily similar to a conversation we had awhile back? Still not a sclerotia.
Heck you don't have to micro dose lions mane, the more the merrier in my experience. Natural Adderall for us with ADHD
@@DivineLightPaladin you need clearly more. You need to be way more smart.

I was part of this study on the phones. The ringer tapping was extremely bad. I ended up quitting out of frustration specifically at this finger tapping.
I bet many didn’t even pay attention to the numbers but I would watch the taps not count on a consistent basis unless I went slow or alternated fingers (cheating). Just fyi some flaws existed in this study. I’m not sure how many people they got interested and were able to hold their interest in reporting all this info daily who where in the control group. What’s the interest or engagement of those not “participating” in the study but just doing work for it. I would venture much less interest in this way, and much harder to hold their interest for any period of time let alone an extended time period.
Got like halfway into your comment and it hit me... maybe you were the problem? Lol you quit a study out of frustration.. you bet many didn't even pay attention? You mean you bet many were like you with some type of ADHD-like symptoms that cause you to, oh idk.. not pay attention or get frustrated easily? Lol. I'm just looking at comments instead of the video, but it sounds like you were told to do this thing and you got bored or frustrated and blamed the study for you agreeing to do something boring
what was the macrodosing schedule they had you guys on?
"Blue meanies" are Panaeolus cyanescens not Psilocybe cyanescens. Psilocybe cyanescens are the "wavy caps" that grow on wood chips in the Pacific Northwest. Good episode though.
Hi! One question, I already have the lion’s mane and psilocybin both are drops (extracts) is is posible to mix it??
I started with lion’s mane 1 week ago with 10 drops that’s about 3 G … do you think If it’s possible to get half and half to increase the benefits??
Thankfully
Great job 👏🏼👏🏼
It's a bit of a shame to hear people are patenting mushrooms (or extracts thereof). It really sounds like big pharma, not what I expect for people who advocate for the benefits of mushrooms. I'll stick with the whole mushrooms.
