Whether legal or not, it seems that psilocybin causes the same type of brain damage that LSD is known to cause, from the experience of those mathematically trained academics who have taken it.

As someone living with neurological deficients due to epileptic brain injury, I find this fascinating and deeply purposefully. Thank you for sharing this information with me and the world.
Great speech. I think stoned ape hypothesis also makes the most sense for the origin of our consciousness and expansion of our brain by size 2x around ~200.000 years ago. It is a shame that psilocybin mushrooms is illegal, since consuming it literally does no harm to the body - it isn't toxic, it does not make addictive, no one died because of a shroom overdose, infact the necessary dose to die from cannot physically be reached. Magic mushrooms have so much great and positive effects it's undescribable: you feel at one with everything, you feel fulfilled, you feel motivated, it has a sucess rate of curing depressing by 80% (as high as no other substance!), it makes you more empathic, it makes you more curious and interested in consciousness and nature and insight, it gives your life the kick necessary to achieve your goals as to what is important to you and in the process makes you a better person. compare that to alcohol - a legal drug - which is toxic, which is easy to overdose, of which hundreds of thousands of people die each year just because of stuff like car accidents, voilent acts of aggression or straight up alcohol poisoning, it makes you feel miserable the day after, it destroys your liver cells, it makes you more naive and dumb in behaviour, it causes various types of cancer and is just a toxic poison to the body which kills brain cells... HOW ON EARTH is alcohol legal but shrooms illegal?! *Here are just a few arguments from me why I think all drugs should be legalized:* _1. Individual sovereignty:_ People should be free to consume any substance as long as it does no harm someone else. People must have the freedom to do what they want with their own consciousness and body, without limitation of a higher authority. After all, everyone over the age of 18 can also buy cleaning agents. There are no laws against extreme sports, although that can be very dangerous. Legalization would truly be fair and would not deprive citizens of their natural right of individual liberty. _2. Damage potential:_ Many ignorant people believe that alcohol and tobacco are legal drugs because they are the least dangerous, but this is not even true. While illegal drugs like LSD, cannabis or magic mushrooms are not fatal, one in four smokers dies from the consequences of smoking. In addition, there is a study showing that alcohol is by far the most dangerous drug for society. Based on study work, David Nutt created a bar chart in 2010 and classified various drugs according to their damage potential. In the first place is alcohol, 2nd heroin, 6th tobacco, 8th cannabis, 17th MDMA, 18th LSD and 20th magic mushrooms. Every year there are more than 70,000 deaths in Germany alone from alcohol overdose, car accidents, violent acts or overestimated risks. Alcohol destroys the liver cells, is neurotoxic, causes dehydration, can increase aggressiveness - cannabis has almost the opposite effect; it makes you more relaxed, empathetic, reduces aggression and stress, and makes one more curious for mental insights. If drugs like alcohol and tobacco are legal, then all other drugs that are just as harmful and above all harmless must be legal. Many psychedelic substances are not neurotoxic, do not become physically dependent and expand consciousness. Many users describe their experience as one of the most important events in their life and can be more motivated to become a better person. Legalization would reduce unnecessary harm, spread intellectual knowledge and make society more compassionate. _3. More consumer-friendly:_ Many users of illegal drugs rely on dealers, which means that they cannot always be sure that they are getting the substance they actually expect. Many drugs are cut from dealers with substances that in some cases are even more harmful than the actual drug. This is a big reason why many illegal drugs are as harmful as they are now. In their pure form, many drugs are actually not as harmful as is often assumed. Legalization would make it possible for consumers to know exactly what they expect by their purchase, which would result in fewer consumers dying from cut goods. _4. Dissolve the black market:_ If legalized, the black market would dissolve almost completely. This is especially good because dangerous criminals mostly govern it. This is particularly bad in Mexico: Around 40,000 people are killed by such organizations every year, but there are also one or two stabbing events in Germany that could be prevented. _5. Drugs as medicine:_ Some illegal substances, especially psychedelics, have been shown to have therapeutic and medical effects. Cannabis can help against epilepsy, Tourette and sleep disorders. Potential cannabis patients have to wait for years to get a license to legally buy cannabis. Until then, some are forced to use the black market. Drugs like LSD, magic mushrooms or MDMA can also be used very well for therapeutic purposes that help against PTSD, depression and social anxiety. Legalization could help more people for whom other medicine does not work. Sometimes the illegal substance is the only one with decent effects. _6. Relief for the executive and judiciary:_ In general, the law should be there to punish bad people who have done morally incorrect things. This is clearly not the case with drug users. These mostly nice people just want to have a little fun. Many police officers and judges have to work more often on cases where illegal drug use was involved. It is a huge waste of police force to turn innocent teenagers into criminals, and thereby ruin their life. It is sometimes not the drug that ruined their life but rather the prohibition. With legalization, "victimless crimes" would no longer exist and the police would have more power and time to deal with more relevant problems such as radical groups. _7. Tax money:_ Keeping the drug ban going is quite expensive. According to estimates, it is 3.8 billion euros a year in Germany alone. Most of the money, 1.9 billion euros, is wasted on the police, 1.2 billion of them on court hearings and finally 0.7 billion euros to keep the evil drug criminals behind bars. The ban is not just unfair, but legalization could tax drugs and save a lot of money. In legalizing cannabis alone, Germany would earn an estimated 1.4 billion euros in taxes. So you would have at least an additional six billion euros available based on the last two points. If VAT were added to the production goods of other currently illegal substances, the government could make more sales and have more money that could be used sensibly for infrastructure, climate protection, unemployment and more social justice. _8. Goal is not achieved:_ The only reason why some people are still against legalization is because they assume that legalization would increase drug use, but this is wrong. There is no connection between drug use and ban. Despite the decriminalization of cannabis, no more is consumed in Holland than anywhere else in Europe. In Portugal, after all drugs have been decriminalized, consumption has not increased. Again, there are other countries like France, where cannabis use is very high despite the ban. Why uphold laws that do not begin to achieve what they are supposed to achieve and otherwise have only negative consequences? The war on consciousness is lost.
Seeing that picture of Steven Pollock at 17:40 warmed my heart...thank you Paul for continuing this all important research and remembering the greats who got us here.
The cities of Denver, Colorado (May 2019), Oakland, California (June 2019) and Santa Cruz, California (January 2020) have decriminalized psychedelics. The city of Illinois, Chicago is currently still working towards decriminalization, as are about five other cities in the US. The UK banned shrooms in 2005, The Netherlands (Holland) banned shrooms (but not truffles) in 2008. Salvia divinorum (sage of the diviners) remains legal in many places. “Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.” - Terence McKenna

I hope that some studies are done regarding the hearing frequencies. I have most definitely experienced changes in volumes of sound, high and low while tripping. I recall one time in particular that the base of a song was extremely loud, and I went to turn it down but my base system was completely off.

I feel like I remember a video where Paul describes this account of his friend's restored and heightened hearing upon eating psilocybin mushrooms, but maybe it was an earlier video at another conference, or a podcast interview, because I slightly do not recognize his telling of the story in THIS video. That is, I was looking for his telling of this story, and so far I have found it again in this video, but it sounds slightly different than the original telling I heard. Does anyone know if there is another instance of him telling about this (healed hearing loss where his friend could hear the ants walking on the deck) in another video somewhere?

@@jdub1329 I guess you're right. I just think that if you take mushrooms for FUN it can be kind of dangerous if you do it the wrong way. Especially if youre doing it for FUN for the FIRST TIME. Do you know what I mean?
Adam Gardener I don’t think there’s a wrong way to do them. People just need to understand what happens when you’re on them. I’ve never had any problems or met anyone who has. I just take them wherever I’m interested in, the park, at home to workout, or an event, etc. it’s really not complicated.
I would love to recommend this dude to you guys He ships it to any country and we have been working with him for a very long time. he deals on so many things like DMT, LSD, mushrooms, MDMA and so many other???
Advanced civilization engineered primates to make "man"...can't see mushrooms as cause, sorry! Awesome lecture as usual from Paul. Mushrooms and all plants are keys to health and cognitive capacities and enlightenment.
We're GMO! Seriously... There was a problem where the adama were too smart so they dumbed them down. This leaves room for shrooms to *maybe* have brought us up to par. Macro evolution in today's context isn't even a decent hypothesis.
I had pretty bad tinnitus from being next to a speaker in a cave party while on vacation. For the next several weeks I had an intense ringing in my ears. After the ringing eventually stopped, my hearing was very noticeably gone, I was reading lips. It was hard to have regular social interactions because it was so hard to communicate with people, so I stopped going out as much. I did a few hero doses of psilocybin and focused on my hearing for those trips. Now my hearing is completely back to normal.
"optimally less than 1%"? - 26:50 The slide shows a max of 89.50 micrograms per gram. That is almost 0.01%, not 1%. Am I missing something here or is Stamets' math magnitudes off?
Look at his "erinacine content" slide that I linked. That's micrograms per gram. 89.5 micrograms is 0.000089 grams or less than 0.01%. The next slide says erinacines are at 1%. This is incorrect based on his previous slide. In order to get 200mg of erinacines, based on his previous slide data you would need to eat over 2kg of lions mane mushroom, not 20g

You can setup an experiment where you could correlate primal species of chimpanzees in the wild using various seroternergic compounds and measure/trace the development of neural networks and the scores on various cognitive tests. This involve behavior and controlled methodologies which could show promising research grounds for human trials.

The possibility is there, of course. My eye-sight is so much better from microdosing, and I can locate sounds much better than before. I also took Lion's Mane for a couple of months and noticed improvements in cognition and focus.
bastyo... Soo much experimenting to be done :). Did you take b3 as well? I would think taking a good multi mineral such as terrain clay will assist. I know mushrooms eat minerals for nutrients.
I took Niacin for a while, but my liver didn't like it. My liver enzymes went quite high, had them checked by a doctor. They are fine again, but I'd be careful with high dose Niacin. 50mg should be enough. A medium-dosed multivitamin/mineral won't hurt ;)
5:39 This has always bothered me. "Give them back when the time is right." He shouldn't have those. They were stolen and should be repatriated now! Please don't "pass it on" unless it's to a museum in Mesoamerica.
He is somewhat of a museum. When he said " when the time is right" I took that to mean, that by giving them back now, they may be lost or destroyed due to unstable leadership within the region from which they came. He is protecting them. There's more to it than him just holding them out of some sort of selfishness. They are safe with him and I have no problem with someone like Stamets having them. They are in good hands. Giving them back now could cause them to disappear forever.
david mark This is literally just white savior complex bs. You most likely have no understanding of geopolitics in the region these were stolen from. And if you did understand then you would know that the reason for the instability is the US itself. The US terrorizes other countries and then morons like you make the case that the only place that these artifacts are safe is nestled deep inside the imperial core. Its all just different sides of the same coin.
@@figgledoi By this jumbled logic, you are suggesting that Paul Stamets is personally responsible for the unrest. I didn't realize this was a racial issue. I mean, Paul could be purple and I would say the same thing. Let's just say that you're right, that the U.S. is responsible for the unrest in these regions. What does it matter who is responsible for the unrest when it comes to preserving these artifacts? Unrest is unrest. As far as your personal, racial attacks, thats just something you'll have to sort out on your own. You sound like a moron.
david mark No where did i imply Paul has directly instigated US imperial aggression in central america. I’ll explain it like you’re five, precious artifacts end up in the hands of denizens of the US empire, US fucks up the region of origin, then idiots like you try their hardest to make the case that the items should not be returned. Its just theft with extra steps to ensure the theft is permanent. Just because a region is under constant attack by the wealthiest nation in the world doesn’t mean the people there are idiots who dont know how to take care of their own history. Also i think i got idiot right winger bingo, from defending imperial theft to blatant western chauvinism to the “i dont care if your purple” argument
Consumption of psychoactive substances occurs among many primates and other animals, and has not led to parallel brain size increases in other genera and species - so the hypothesis is real weak. But spiritually guided altered states, with or without phytochemical assistance, definitely produced individuals who could harness their ability to see and know in the collective and across time. Social and personal tutoring probably had as much effect as any chemical in that. Probably almost no users without traditional training can divine, foresee or transform. Many do this without plan help, many with.

That is, I was looking for his telling of this story, and so far I have found it again in this video, but it sounds slightly different than the original telling I heard. Does anyone know if there is another instance of him telling about this (healed hearing loss where his friend could hear the ants walking on the deck) in another video somewhere?
Audio gets better at 2:30
thanks man :)
Paul is one of my heroes.
Very interesting
Get this man a water
i was hoping someone would tell me when psilocyben mushrooms sprout in Northern Michigan?
correction the doubling of the human brain occurred 2 million years ago not 200,000 years ago. Great vid btw make sure to buy some of Paul's books, mine are on the way :)
Great talk Paul! Drink more water and give up dairy and grains to help clear that throat gunk tho.
Legalize recreational psilocybin mushrooms!
I think recreation is the wrong word, but overall I agree with what you mean.
Adam Gardener I take them recreationally, and there’s nothing wrong with that nor is anybody or anything getting harmed. It’s the correct word
@@jdub1329 )*)~~~C===3
@@jdub1329 I guess you're right.
I just think that if you take mushrooms for FUN it can be kind of dangerous if you do it the wrong way.
Especially if youre doing it for FUN for the FIRST TIME.
Do you know what I mean?
Adam Gardener I don’t think there’s a wrong way to do them. People just need to understand what happens when you’re on them. I’ve never had any problems or met anyone who has. I just take them wherever I’m interested in, the park, at home to workout, or an event, etc. it’s really not complicated.

When in a survival situation; all things nature are fair game? I was hungry.
Very basic audio knowledge would suggest recording from the source CLOSEST to Mr. Stamets. wtf.

Beautiful
Very nice.
Ahmm, anybody care telling me how to identify edible mushrooms? At what minute does he explains that? thanks!
22:36 there is a cut out talking about lizard people...???
How can I speak with Paul? I'm a freelance medical researcher and want a word with him.
I would love to recommend this dude to you guys He ships it to any country and we have been working with him for a very long time.
he deals on so many things like DMT, LSD, mushrooms, MDMA and so many other???

How is the niocin supposed to enhance neurogenesis? Could someone explain a bit better? Thank you.
Humberto Martinez
Niacin ignites your nerve endings, which helps to move the psilocybin throughout your body.
Advanced civilization engineered primates to make "man"...can't see mushrooms as cause, sorry! Awesome lecture as usual from Paul. Mushrooms and all plants are keys to health and cognitive capacities and enlightenment.
We're GMO! Seriously... There was a problem where the adama were too smart so they dumbed them down. This leaves room for shrooms to *maybe* have brought us up to par. Macro evolution in today's context isn't even a decent hypothesis.
great talk, one critical point though; nobody knows the functional relevance of neurogenesis in humans!

Paul (or anyone who knows) would people with tinnitus benefit or have problems?
I had pretty bad tinnitus from being next to a speaker in a cave party while on vacation. For the next several weeks I had an intense ringing in my ears. After the ringing eventually stopped, my hearing was very noticeably gone, I was reading lips. It was hard to have regular social interactions because it was so hard to communicate with people, so I stopped going out as much. I did a few hero doses of psilocybin and focused on my hearing for those trips. Now my hearing is completely back to normal.
Lemon tek works well because of trace amounts of maoi from lemon juice.
"optimally less than 1%"? - 26:50 The slide shows a max of 89.50 micrograms per gram. That is almost 0.01%, not 1%.
Am I missing something here or is Stamets' math magnitudes off?
Look at his "erinacine content" slide that I linked. That's micrograms per gram. 89.5 micrograms is 0.000089 grams or less than 0.01%.
The next slide says erinacines are at 1%. This is incorrect based on his previous slide. In order to get 200mg of erinacines, based on his previous slide data you would need to eat over 2kg of lions mane mushroom, not 20g
Nelson Gamache could be wet vs dry weight of mushroom?
doubtful. And typically wet to dry weight is a 10x difference because mushrooms are 90% water. We're talking about 100x difference here.
maybe a mistake on micro and milligrams?

You can setup an experiment where you could correlate primal species of chimpanzees in the wild using various seroternergic compounds and measure/trace the development of neural networks and the scores on various cognitive tests. This involve behavior and controlled methodologies which could show promising research grounds for human trials.

Natural selection. The dumbasses that picked and ate them needed to go.
Cold water extraction 20:21
So does that mean that microdosing can repair hearing over time?
The possibility is there, of course. My eye-sight is so much better from microdosing, and I can locate sounds much better than before. I also took Lion's Mane for a couple of months and noticed improvements in cognition and focus.
bastyo... Soo much experimenting to be done :).
Did you take b3 as well?
I would think taking a good multi mineral such as terrain clay will assist. I know mushrooms eat minerals for nutrients.
I took Niacin for a while, but my liver didn't like it. My liver enzymes went quite high, had them checked by a doctor. They are fine again, but I'd be careful with high dose Niacin. 50mg should be enough. A medium-dosed multivitamin/mineral won't hurt ;)

5:39 This has always bothered me. "Give them back when the time is right." He shouldn't have those. They were stolen and should be repatriated now! Please don't "pass it on" unless it's to a museum in Mesoamerica.
He is somewhat of a museum. When he said " when the time is right" I took that to mean, that by giving them back now, they may be lost or destroyed due to unstable leadership within the region from which they came. He is protecting them. There's more to it than him just holding them out of some sort of selfishness. They are safe with him and I have no problem with someone like Stamets having them. They are in good hands. Giving them back now could cause them to disappear forever.
david mark This is literally just white savior complex bs. You most likely have no understanding of geopolitics in the region these were stolen from. And if you did understand then you would know that the reason for the instability is the US itself. The US terrorizes other countries and then morons like you make the case that the only place that these artifacts are safe is nestled deep inside the imperial core. Its all just different sides of the same coin.
@@figgledoi By this jumbled logic, you are suggesting that Paul Stamets is personally responsible for the unrest. I didn't realize this was a racial issue. I mean, Paul could be purple and I would say the same thing. Let's just say that you're right, that the U.S. is responsible for the unrest in these regions. What does it matter who is responsible for the unrest when it comes to preserving these artifacts? Unrest is unrest. As far as your personal, racial attacks, thats just something you'll have to sort out on your own. You sound like a moron.
david mark No where did i imply Paul has directly instigated US imperial aggression in central america. I’ll explain it like you’re five, precious artifacts end up in the hands of denizens of the US empire, US fucks up the region of origin, then idiots like you try their hardest to make the case that the items should not be returned. Its just theft with extra steps to ensure the theft is permanent. Just because a region is under constant attack by the wealthiest nation in the world doesn’t mean the people there are idiots who dont know how to take care of their own history.
Also i think i got idiot right winger bingo, from defending imperial theft to blatant western chauvinism to the “i dont care if your purple” argument

Consumption of psychoactive substances occurs among many primates and other animals, and has not led to parallel brain size increases in other genera and species - so the hypothesis is real weak. But spiritually guided altered states, with or without phytochemical assistance, definitely produced individuals who could harness their ability to see and know in the collective and across time. Social and personal tutoring probably had as much effect as any chemical in that. Probably almost no users without traditional training can divine, foresee or transform. Many do this without plan help, many with.
It takes thousands of years so how would we even know if it was happening? We just started studying these substances in the last 100 years.
