Psilocybin, love and the meaning of life | Mary Cosimano | TEDxKC

- Опубліковано 11 сер 2020
- Johns Hopkins Researcher Mary Cosimano shares promising results from clinical trials of guided psilocybin sessions being utilized in the treatment of addiction, depression, and cancer/end-of-life. The impressive results offer much hope for an effective treatment to heal “hearts and minds.” One of Mary’s key observations is the importance of love and connection - it seems, love is literally part of the answer. Mary Cosimano, MSW, has been working with the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research since 2000 when they began research with psilocybin. In her role as Director of Guide/Facilitator Services she is responsible for training and supervising Session Facilitators. She has served as Session Facilitator and research coordinator involved with all the psilocybin studies and has conducted over 450 study sessions. In addition to her work with the psilocybin studies, she has worked with the Club Drug Studies including Salvia Divinorum and Dextromethorphan. She taught individual and group meditation to breast cancer patients in a Johns Hopkins research study, and taught at California Institute to Integral Studies (CIIS) for their Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research program. In 2003 she started and has maintained a meditation group for employees in her department. She also has 15 years of experience with direct patient care as a hospice volunteer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I tried it one time, and it was the most peaceful, warm, intelligent experience. It changed me. I slept on my bed during my trip, i felt like the mushroom talked to me. It was incredibly vibrant, the way it massaged my mind. I came out totally refreshed, happy, and optimistic -- I also dropped my nihilistic thoughts.
How much was your dose and how did you know how much to take
But you don't really describe a significant change.
@@indigo_dreamz wanna get psychedelic products?
Yes it does massage the brain 🧠. I took another 1.85 dose. First time in 3 months. Wonderful and part of me attempted to face my ego to go over a job challenge or job change. My first trip was the best, this trip was more poignant.
Maybe it wasn't the mushroom talking to you, but your true authentic self 😊
If the entire sane population where able to take mushrooms worldwide, it would change the course of history.
There would be no more wars, for starters. You can't fight if all you feel is love.
Ancient Greece used to do
Gotta make it legal like cannabis so we can make this possible in our lifetime! Every one can have a heroic dose ✌🏼💕🍄
Interesting point!
@@DV-zv4ox Not to burst anyone's bubble here but take it from someone who's got some experience with these things: what you feel is very, *very* dependent on where you are, how you feel and how you're feeling before you start the experience. And even then it can literally change 180'' by simply walking into another room for instance. You'll be aware of this unless you take 'heroic' (don't, unless supervised by a professional) dosages, but it's an insane thing to experience. Also, you'll probably find that besides being very susceptive to outside stimuli influencing your experience, your own thinking influences it instantly as well. Having said that, my psilocybin experiences are easily some of the most unique and memorable things I've ever experienced - even though I can't put half of it into words properly. This may sound weird, but if you're familiar with the 'mindfulness' idea of acknowledging what you feel/hear/see, not judging that and then letting it go it can help whenever things take a weird/creepy/anxious turn.
Been depressed since childhood.
Never felt more accepted.
At 51 years old.
I can say.
Magic Mushrooms are my new treatment.
Awesome!
Hi can you tell me about magic mushroom,Is magic mushroom is an illegal drug or Is magic mushroom is a vegetable?
@@aaymathebest4705 They are illegal except in a couple states. But you can grow them yourself which isn't too hard. Check out some videos on Psilocybin.
@@sarchizm can you give a little bit detail?Do people use as a medicine or as a illegal drug?Is magic mushroom is vegetable or illegal drug?
Great to hear! What doses have you been taking?
Took 7.5 grams dried pancyans as my first try. Of all the documentaries, articles and personal interviews with fellow mushroom-takers, one aspect is common --- the sense of divinity. After the trip you know that everything you experienced there was caused by shrooms, you know you wre under the influence of another substance yet you KNOW that its much much more true than your experience while sober. Anyone who has tried it knows that there is much more to life than what we can understand. Even the most hardcore atheist will crumble at the face of the spiritual experience psilocybin provides.
Hit up @Mycohenry33 on Instagram.he sells psychedelics discreetly. He have shrooms, Dmt, Lsd, and more👽🍄
Im on shrooms right now, i cant agree more man
what is a hardcore atheist?
You are 100% correct and one of the few people who understand this. Right on, Have fun...
Mushrooms can be used to treat tobacco addiction and yet they're not legal and tobacco is???
Unfortunately.
Then large corporations can't profit off the misery and death of peasants! Are you INSANE!? Think of the TAX REVENUE!
In UK it is a serious crime to act on this enlightened revelation, and so I say with no regret I have no respect for UK law on this issue.
Tobacco= addition = long term customer, taxes, big Parma and corporate hospitals.
I'm taking mushrooms I've had lung cancer and I still smoke. How much mushrooms do I have to take before I will quit. I'm in
5.5 grams of dried mushrooms. The most difficult, yet the most transformative and blissful experience of my life. I can't imagine a more powerful and life changing substance you can consume. most important thing to remember before the experience ; It gives what you need, and not what you want.
That was 1 dose ? Seems like a huge amt?
@@eaburl It is indeed a heroic dose. You have to work up to this level. Your entire identity dies in this, and linear time doesn't exist in this realm. When the old 'you' die, it screams in frightened agony.. if you survive the panic, a new 'you' is born, pure and untethered from all the distractions of this world. The serene and blissful afterglow will last for days, and you're changed forever. I have done it once, and I have no need to do it again.
@@baberraza4231 It's cool that it worked so well for you but I just want to add that not everyone will have an intense experience like that with 5.5 grams. My friend once had a little more than 7 dried grams of very potent shrooms and while it was pretty strong, He did not experience ego death. So he prefers other tools to get there because He doesn't like the body load when increasing the dosage of mushrooms above 5g.
@@FritzVonR I agree, absolutely. experiences are different, because there are variables we don't fully understand. When I used 3 or 4grams, I had endless thought loops which often was more frustrating than beneficial. 5.5g is a breakthrough dose to get past all of that.
@@baberraza4231 what do you mean “if you survive “? How physically sick do you get , or how dangerous is it ? Thanks!
My father committed suicide in 2013. I was in and out of the psych “program” since I was 9. I was told to stay away from mushrooms and acid because I would be schizophrenic.
I’m now married. My step children have given me a new life. When my wife found me I was on my way to mimic my father. And now I can tell others how we are not a product of those who repeated what they knew. I know time is a only constant. And love is unwavering.untainted. But our fear becomes the anxiety. And our anger becomes our depression. Our pleasures become our pain. But when you find that balance. Love. LOVE is the only thing that can bring us back to ourselves.
Thank you for sharing your story brother, I’m glad to hear you’re in a better place
profound comment
The johns hopkins team has done more than almost anyone on this, their work will go down in history
So you know history? Do you know the 1st president of Johns Hopkins University was Daniel Coit Gilman of Yale's Skull and Bones fraternity? Do you know the connection therefore to China and drug addiction not to mention MK Ultra(hi guys)? Be still and know.
@@G8rquest lol ur funny bro
@@G8rquest did it ever occur to you that there’s more then one story in history? The one argument kills all impulse is not helpful
If we have a history... yes.
@@colemeeker908 It takes time for a husk to be discarded. Go play.
I'd been struggling with PTSD for 6 years, white-knuckling life and running around in circles in my brain trying to sort through what happened to me. Mushrooms completely transformed my outlook on life itself, on who I am, and gave me the outlet to feel pure bliss, safety, and love. It only took a couple of experiences for my PTSD symptoms to go into complete remission.
I’m overjoyed to read that
What dose did you take per session?
Amen I’m trying to do the same now
That is so wonderful to hear. I have major PTSD, depression, lethargy after two lawsuits [we won both of them, but the stress.....took it's toll] Trouble sleeping, slight weight gain and challenging personal sense of confidence. I am soon going to be doing a micro-dose. Glad you are feeling much better. Life is supposed to be joyful and I need to re-set myself and my serotonin levels. Peace.
@Steph Hilton Hooking up on a social media platform even using a pseudonym has to be the most idiotic thing a person could do.
I fully support this movement. My son suffered from depression. He could not beat it.
Psilocybin healed me of my anxiety and depression thanks to nexayo2629 on Instagram he's got all psychedelic and shrooms and delivers anywhere

i’m so sorry about your son. i’m looking forward to a future of use of sacred medicines. i hope you are on a healing journey as well.
I'm so sorry.
So sorry for your loss, sending you a hug
The way mushrooms grow is analogous to how we as humans need love and community - an interconnected web under the soil and symbiotic relationship with trees. We have so much to learn. "A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step." :)
Beautiful analogy and underrated comment...❤️

The most beautiful thing I’ve read........
The fractal nature of nature.
Repeating patterns big and small.
Everything is the same at the core
30 years of depressions, solitude, inability to connect, a permanent grey shade over everything. 10 grams of dried, self-grown mushrooms: I have been more alive for the past two years than I have been in the last 30 despite some of the most trying and difficult times in my life
That's a massive dose! I'd love to hear about your experience and how you integrated it, if you did conciously.
@@FritzVonR Well, what can I say? The universe, time, you and I became one... for starters... I spoke to the universe. Something spoke back. Everything was okay. Everything is okay. I saw time and space bend into one. It was the deepest and most profound experience in my life. And that includes the birth of my son a year later to whom I am deeply connected, who I love with an intensity and a peace I cannot begin to explain.
How did I integrate it? I am not sure, it just happened. Life just became okay the way it was. Even when things were not okay by any standard.
I am sure that others have entirely different experiences and it kind of feels like describing the colour blue to someone who has been blind since birth.
Would I repeat it? Only if I really felt that I had to, for sure. But I am not sure there really is any way for me to disconnect from the experience even as the memory of it fades.
My description sounds a lot more corny and even preposterous than I would have liked. I am not sure, how else to.describe it, though
@@martinwermuth5012 Hey, thanks for sharing ;D
Yes, I am sure you wouldn't casually go there for fun. I too feel like there's no need to integrate such experiences because you feel different after it nevertheless. At least with higher doses.. but I've never tried 10g and I'm looking forward to that now. Did you have any problems with nausea?
@@FritzVonR Where do you get these mushrooms?
@@FritzVonR No, I had no problems with nausea, just a small headache that went away quickly. I tried earlier to take a big dose using truffles. I vomited very early in the experience so that I experienced only a mild trip. That was when I decided to grow the mushrooms myself using a grow kit I bought in the Netherlands
Had the most intense experience of my life last night. It was a nightmare of self hate and destruction. Then it happened. I feel like I broke through a barrier of self and ego. I am forever changed and now truly love myself. Respect and well wishes. Love and honor.
I came across this Healer who got the best psychedelic, was passing through mental stress and depression...He refines dmts professionally and grow shrooms as well, now I feel like a new being again, all thanks to mycohenry33

Thank you for sharing, Ramse. much love ❤️
How do you feel since ?
I'm 72. I had a particular lsd experience when I was 24. Like everyone else ...... I can't put it into words. I am part of everything and everything is a part of me. I felt it. Since that night ..... I decided I wanted to live in that place .... not visit occasionally under the influence of a psychedelic. I searched periodically trying different practices. Silva Mind Control, Dianetics, Holotropic Breathwork, Sensory Deprivation Tanks, TM, different meditation retreats, Yoga, Tai Chi, Vipassana, etc.. Psychedelics showed to me what was possible. You can't aspire to something if you're not aware it exists.
Psychedelics are a good starting point for understanding love, consciousness, presence and connection to infinity, but it won't keep you there permanently. It requires daily upkeep to maintain. Self reflective practices such as meditation and mindfulness training are the future for a healthy society in touch with these principles. Looking forward to growing that future together.
best plug ever you'll should check him on Instagram @Mycohenry33
Thank you for your comment
@Paul Gauthier Yes, the mushrooms do help for the long term but the amount they help fades if you don't integrate the revelations from the experience. This is why integration is important. Mushrooms do not heal your life. They teach you how to heal your own life and show you that it is possible. Highly recommend.
Well said. That is the part she missed out. You need daily maintenance. Mindfulness and meditation. Without it whatever experience is had will just becone a memory.
🍄👆👆
Just a few weeks ago I told my therapist, after her concern about psychedelics use in the past, that without them, especially psilocybin I would not be here anymore. Without it, I wouldn't have discovered my personal meaning of life. Be careful but stay curious, whoever reads this :)

Isn't that a super fun talk to have with your therapist?? It's a little scary but it's worth it.

Pedro, remember, "you are enough"
@@alaskapeach Resume: Haven`t done it yet, probably next week.
Full story: I had to quit my antidepressant first, and oh boy, quitting 200mg Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) in 4 days was tough. I'm +10 days clean of SNRIs now, but guess what? the capsules I bought had an efficacy problem, even taking 3g would produce nothing substantial. They admitted that (all costumers from October had this problem too) and they are sending me new ones. I bought a growing kit as well, I received and I'm waiting for the mycelium to be 100% ready to continue the process.
@@opedromagico Please keep us updated here. Would love to listen to how you experienced this healing.
Pedro. I'm going to offer some unasked-for advice. Setting intentions is very important. East Forrest's Music for Mushrooms album is a great guide on your journey. The mushroom medicine is about going inward. Set your intentions, imbed your intention into the melody of the album (it repeats throughout the album), journey in a dark space (you can use a blindfold), and stay present in yourself for the full 5 hour journey. Start the album as soon as you ingest your medicine and sit with it for your entire journey. Much love.
@@opedromagico It might also take 2 weeks to a month for the effects of the SNRIs to clear out of your system, and it has always been considered dangerous to mix psychs and SSRIs because of a feared risk of seratonin syndrome. The theory being that with SSRIs (and presumably also SNRIs) that the brain actually down-regulates its seratonin receptors because of the increased availability of seratonin. Then the psychedelics have fewer binding sites and have less of an effect. I am not knowledgeable enough to provide any direct advice other than to research possible interactions.
I’m on golden teachers right now.
May you be free from danger
May you have mental happiness
May you have physical happiness
May you have ease of well being

@@deeppete1557 I’m in Portland OR where psilocybin therapy was legalized Nov 3 2020 & all drugs decriminalized. Yet short of growing them I still don’t know a source to microdose. How does one find a safe reliable source?

The world is in urgent need of this treatment! I hope that these sessions can be done in every part of the world and that everyone has free access to them. I know that I and many others I know need this!
This is a researcher that has only tested on 400 participants and is not a treatment in the sense that it is for the benefit of the subjects. Quit being passive and do your homework, and you be the catalyst for change and start down the road of your own Starbucks mushroom brewhouses with ‘guides’ instead of baristas.

We need to make mushrooms and psychedelics universally accessible. Imagine if everyone on Earth had these experiences? Especially all of our politicians and “leaders”? The world would be a profoundly better place. 🍄🌏
Lol i remember thinking about this on one of my psilocybin trips. I was like, "I feel like this is the cure to world peace!". I mean I just had love for everybody at the moment, genuine love for the entire world, and all I could think of was having people's best interests at heart. Just imagine world leaders having these kind of experiences like you said.
Don't say that too loud it'll catch their attention and be banned even more.
I just wished we can sell this as a water.
you really think they will ever be as this matrix is ran by ones who want to control and keep the public as low as possible , thats why its a felony to withhold such organism
Yeah I think nature has made them quite easily available in most countries though society/our leaders seem to prefer people drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes
I've been using mushrooms to treat anxiety and depression. Microdosing/large doses as well. Absolutely changed my life 30-40 doses later.
How long were you depressed? When did you take the mushrooms and have you sustained the improvement so far?
How and where can i buy some?

Imagine a world where law enforcement officers use psilocybin....
The new age of officers are en route.
Also, you’d be surprised how many do. It’s the system not the officers.
Check out @Scott_fordd on instagram.he literally grows shrooms and sell refine DMTS,LSD and w**d..he gets your orders discreetly delivered to any location..
Hahahaha what a thought! Made me giggle.
Imagine a world where murderers and rapists use psilocybin. You know, the kind of folks that cops have to deal with
I had a friend who was a large distributor and his best friend was a cop. They’re people too!
that is exactly how i felt when i used mushrooms, i felt a connection with all people and like everyone has this inner "goodness" in their hearts, and i felt so much love for people and especially for my own family, it's been a few years since that experience but i believe it really changed the way i look at life and i appreciate my relationships with other people and my family way more than i did before.

@@tootstoyou1 I’ve discovered the benefits of micro dosing to help with depression. I take about a fourth of a teaspoon daily. My energy, focus and creativity has improved immensely. The only reservation I had was the sleep factor. Was this renewed energy going to interfere with my sleep? It hasn’t! I sleep better than ever. Amazing stuff.
@@ivanalban5037 That’s sounds amazing. Did you go straight to micro dosing? Do take it every day? Or skip some days? Did you ever try a bigger trip, 3 to 5grams?
@@tootstoyou1 I started with about 1/2 teaspoon. That was too much for me. I only wanted to feel the focus and energy not the high. It took me a couple of weeks to settle on 1/4 teaspoon. I dose every day. Some people break a day or two after a week. Let your body tell you. I bought an ounce about 8 months ago. I still have about 4-6 months supply in my freezer. Imagine: A years supply of “aaah” for about 200 dollars or less. Wow. I grind the shrooms immediately using a metal, circular marijuana grinder and place then place it immediately in the freezer. It lasts a year In the freezer. Fantastic. I wish that I had discovered this in my youth. Would’ve made my life healthier. Good luck if you decide to try it. Dude, let me know if you try it. I would love to hear what you think. P.S. It’s non-addictive.
I LOVE seeing this work go mainstream! I was blessed by a related experience over twenty years ago and it’s still with me today. It is actually my reason for living today. When I came out of my Cosmic Consciousness moment, I was left with two sentences to remember, “We are all one,” and “Love is all that matters.”
I knew and felt it in every fiber of my being, down to my very Essence, of which we all share.

Mushrooms were the first step for me. They worked very well for ptsd and addiction problems. Later I adopted the wim hof method amongst other things.. life is getting better and better for me... mushrooms were my first step to a better life and not only psilocybe but also lion's mane amongst other sorts have become great allies.
Someone should be researching psilocybin as a tool for couples therapy. My wife and I have used psilocybin to repair our relationship. It's been so profound to rediscover each other with the assistance of psilocybin. The reason couples drift has a lot to do with ego. When you remove the ego, you can truly hear and understand your partner. It's an incredible closeness that you can't achieve any other way.
Let’s all imagine living in a world where such “psilocybin chambers” are available to general public as common sense step in maintenance of our well being, with Real Doctors available

I'm recovering, but I am also a strong advocate of psilocybin.
Well, I respect space in my mind so I won't follow that personal love definition, but beside her opinion the way she presents facts and explain mechanisms in narration of love is truly a serenity to listen :)
after two months of mega dose used.15-30 dried grams of psilocybin mushroom i can say that ive experience the full spectrum of the sacred mushroom experience.. i will do mushroom again after a few months.. this is a practice that i know ill be doing for the rest of my life..
Curious about what that dosage was like for you?
@@melissaneville148 usuly a good starting dosage is from 1.5g to 3g of dried golden teacher. After that u can go for whatever u think is best for you but usuly for me (depending of stains etc) is about 3.5 to 5g to really have a nice experience without having the risks to badtrip because of your mood, environement etc.
Mate I had 7 grams of dried and it was insane. I went full interstellar and remembered that I, the one universal consciousness created all of this. How the heck did you go with 15-30 grams? That is phenomenal.
Bru 15-30gs!? Is their even a point of going over 5? I swear I saw it all at a 5G trip which cause ego death for me. Didn’t even remember I took shrooms while I was tripping. I just thought that’s how I was. And how I see the world the whole time. Was a bit scary but very profound. But holy moly 15gs?! Bru I better be projecting my spirit into the cosmos with that high of a dose🤣

Let's be good to ourself.
Such a great talk, thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you for your research in this important topic!
Shrooms and ego death were terrifying unprepared, but the relief in my depression and anxiety lasted nearly 5 years until a car accident knocked everything out of wack. I still needed assistance with therapy and antidepressants,but maybe things would have been different if I were able to take the psilocybin in a safe, clinical environment with guides on a regular basis. I have truly never experienced better relief and I have been in therapy for 12+ years having tried individual and group counselling on top of just under 15 different medications (some together and some on their own.) This underlying message of humanity being one and all is love was strongly present during my trip and stuck around for a couple of years personally. I took more than I should have under the advice of a careless plug and had a "bad" trip. Be safe if experimenting and start at 0.5g, friends!!! 💚
This was so beautiful, heart-warming.
beautiful! Thank you!
Great talk. I love your commitments. I was hoping your pearls would be a rainbow. Because you sound straight! Seriously, I think the work ahead is connecting people the way you have channeled loving presence. Thanks for talking about who we really are... no others. Talk with trees.
There is a way back to connection! Buscaglia was heroic in his work! Mycelium is teh connective tissue of the Earth. Let's use it to bind ourselves with the nature that we already are, but have lost sight of...
so nice to hear this
I am so happy to hear of these studies. I think they are among the most important studies in the scientific endeavor out there. I also do think these substances help reground one with the importance of all mankind but all life, indeed Gaia herself. Through that, I think we could make progress in areas that are challenging like climate change and ecological collapse.
I've been aboard the mushroom love boat ever since the 80s it sure is taking everyone a long time to figure out what my friends an I been doing for 40 years my trips have always been fun an exciting the doors I've opened in my mind have made me a better person an much more understanding my mind is as open as it can be I sometimes feel as if I'm standing on the edge of this next transition an I'm holding myself back as long as I can to help others make the transition along with me.... Everyone let's go just remember if you feel scared an you think you took to much just relax an let your trip flow no matter what just go with whatever your brain has brought to the surface for you to work on I've found that the second you truly just give in an let things just unravel just sit back an enjoy your ride an realize it's you! because only you know what truly scary to you an once you just face it without holding back you will move threw the portal to be purified......

Hahaha! 🤣
Thanks for info. That made me laugh. And tempted me to omit all punctuation in this reply.
Couldnt do it though. To much ego no doubt...
@@TwoWorldsToo
You're probably right. And I may have put too much into it considering the ubiquity of poor grammer and punctuation on social media. Some of it is even quite entertaining.
Thank you for a very insightful talk
Well done, Mary! Love you and thank you for all you do!! ♥️

Mushrooms and meditation changed my life. I was always a self-confident person, but I sought healing from an engagement that did not work out when I lost the concept of self-worth and let my physical and mental health deteriorate. Then the switch flipped when I combined 3g of shrooms with meditating to an Alan Watts Chillstep mix…. Literally teaches you everything is in you control in your mind, the power of positive intentions and energy, manifestation…. The journey is everything 🔮❤️
So, what I'm hearing, is that mushrooms/Psilocybin have a message, and it's literally communicating our connectedness to us, and our brain is decoding it as best it can.
Yes? 🍄✌️
I suggest reading up on Spiral Dynamics.... or Ken Wilber's Integral Theory (to distinguish between states and stages of consciousness). What you describe, I believe would come from what is called the magical-animistic stage. Mushrooms have the potential to induce a higher (deeper) state experience than the stage of development you are currently experiencing life from. From second tier stages you may appreciate that each stage has some validity (the mushroom is communicating with us vs the psilocybin molecule is inducing a neuronal effect).
so eloquently explained and perfectly captured sentiment. gives me hope.
I totally understand the concept that all we have is now. It’s good to live in the moment. Beware, however, because the truth is we have tomorrow to think about. Although it is possible that we can go at any second. The reality is most of us will rise and shine tomorrow. It can be a disaster thinking all we have is now because now goes on for ever. Be safe live in the now but remember love is surrender, and you know that for sure.
Warm feels to all and keep trying to send love.
Thank you, Mary Cosimano. From my heart and soul i send blessed love to all. 🙏

Thank you for being a leader in this field Mary and the John Hopkins team. May you carry forward with the work that started with our ancestors and then brutally put to halt by the counter movement in the 60s. Thank you

A truly beautiful service...thank goodness. I am a magic mushroom experiencer and I have seen and felt the love oneness and connectedness to all life, that you shared. It's true! Thank you!

THANKYOU...
Just fantastic! I have been micro dosing and noticed my depression lifted. :)
I have ordered this amazing products twice and each time it arrived quickly @Mycohenry33 on Instagram is the real deal
How much do you take for a microdose ?
Fundamentally what Mary is discussing here is "altered state therapy", which almost always involves the activation of endogenous DMT. This takes many forms: breath work, hypnotherapy (especially natal regression), tantra, psychedelic assisted therapy, kundalini (both practice and spontaneous), sensory deprivation, and sufi dance to name a few. I agree that it is most effective with the guidance of an experienced person. Traditionally this has been a shaman, yogi or yoga teacher master hypnotherapist, doula, or specific coach of some kind (typically not social workers). Now that mainstream establishment medicine has gotten involved there is a big push to discredit these traditional "authorities" and claim the "clinically scientific" high ground. Some medical professionals are more respectful in their approach, such as Dr. Zack Bush, and Dr. Bruce Lipton. This presentation seems to support the "Compass Pathways" position of "proprietary patents" and "clinical protocols and standards", as in "cha-ching" $$$
Thank you.
Wonderful, Wonderful. Thank you so much for this!
Don't just take them, I made a lot of researches on shrooms,was really curious to take them,thanks to adam_shrooms on instagram,he came through for me and guided me. I get my mushrooms from him too
IMPRESSIVE. Mary, thank you for the well thought out and articulate explanation of your work and its relevancy to the common person. As a long-term, yet very intermittent user of psychedelic substances, I am very touched by what you have to say.

Psyc_dimensions got all psilocybin products you need and ships discreetly also..
Thank you for the tip on Dr. Leo Buscaglia and his book, “Love.” I love that Dr. Buscaglia was so moved by a student's suicide that he started a noncredit class at USC he called Love 1A to contemplate human disconnectedness and the meaning of life. I will spare you my suicide survivor story (I can’t talk about it except I miss him everyday) but I wish psychedelic medicine was available to doctors when traditional methods fail a suffering patient.

Extraordinary work, long overdue to provide this treatment.

i need this to feel loved and connected. something ive been longing for my whole life but havent got it
We are all One.
YESSSSS I COULDN'T AGREE MORE
The 1960's had much of this opening up going on with various psychedelics and the desire to live in intentional community - it was never studied seriously as it is being studied now - there was so much negativity about drugs and hippies from establishment concerns that the psychological helps and changes were nearly entirely dismissed - and there was a lot of drug abuse and bad elements that joined the counter-culture movement that marred the good things that were happening - I'm glad to hear this work is being done - I wonder though, if there are no strong community ties to return to after treatment, will the positive changes last?
Views on good old high priest himself Dr Tim Leary I feel he gets a bit of a bad rap should be a film coming out about him soon
I just want to say that I love every single person in these comments. We are all one and are all connected!

hes on instagram¿ ¿
he sells all kind of psychedelic products
Such a beautiful video. I wanted to thank everyone on here for there comments
It's all happening at the same time. Our painful family disconnect from first, covid, and now Q-anon. A breathtaking book I picked up and started reading, called Kitchen Table Wisdom, about connection. And now the promise of healing through this miracle of psychedelics. I'm hurting, but opening up to the possibility of real healing at the same time. Feeling vulnerable but hopeful.
Psychedelics mushrooms are true healers
I love that book! I think I've read it at least five times.... So happy you found it. And opening to the possibility of real healing is a fabulous place to be. Good things are ahead! 😊🙏💚
Kind of makes me wonder why such things are schedule-1 (or equivalent elsewhere). That they are in fact sacred medicines is beyond question.
So many ancient cultures made use of psychedelic substances, but the religions in our modern culture do not accept it and mostly shun it.
Thanks to professionals, like Mary Cosimano, many people are waking up to this valuable natural resource for mental health and overall well being.
I think a rediscovery of this kind of chemically-assisted Gnosis, or deep understanding of what really, really IS, can be a very lovely step forward for all of us.
What a beautiful fact!!!! Plant medicines and Love💜🙏🏻. Let’s change the world!
I'm educating myself on micro dosing.
This video brought already so much joy,
I can not wait to start this experience.
Thank you, it was a immense pleasure to hear you talk!

Do you have any recommended readings based on your research? I'm sure we'd all benefit! Thanks
This totally sounds like creating an ayahuasca experience in a university research setting instead of a place like the Temple of light in South America. Glad to see that it is becoming main stream.
Fantastic speech, thank you!

Thank you very much
Check out @dodge_shroomtips, on Instagram. I order my psych products from him. He’s not popular but reliable and discreet asf
Still boggles my mind that this harmless natural substance is illegal in almost every country. To anyone considering trying mushrooms or truffles for the first time... Just do it. Even if you don't have a 'mystical experience', you'll still feel all warm and.. ahem... 'mushy' on the inside ;)
Makes you wonder about govt hidden agenda. They are either completely incompetent, or mad. Which do you think?
@@dagwood953 yes ... this part is important the first time
I was having a severe breakdown and depression from rapid changes in life and covid, I took 2g of magic mushroom and it is the most profound experience in my life, came out of the trip happy and so so fulfill - my depression is completely gone.
Very well presented!!
