► • Psychedelics: The scie...
Humans have been consuming psychedelic substances for millennia, but only in the past century have we made significant progress in understanding how they affect the brain and our psychology.
We have learned, for example, that psychedelic drugs like psilocybin, LSD, and DMT cause psychedelic experiences primarily by affecting a particular type of serotonin receptor, while other drugs like ketamine and PCP primarily affect the glutamate system.
But there remain open questions about how these biological effects contribute to profound psychological changes in people who take psychedelics. One answer seems to center on how the drugs spark communication between different brain regions. What’s more, psychedelics seem to encourage greater neuroplasticity, meaning the brain becomes primed to learn new things in the wake of a psychedelic experience.
Check out this Big Think interview with Matthew Johnson, a professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University who explains how psychedelics work, and what researchers hope to uncover about the substances in the future.

[@FrankMorrison-vu2kc]

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

I took psychedelics while actively participating in psychotherapy after getting out of the mental hospital for suicidal thoughts. After 6 years of depression and 2 suicide attempts psychedelics helped give me vital insights into my degrading thought patterns. I had to put in a lot of work integrating these into therapy and real life. Repeating the lessons to myself under my breath over and over everyday. But for the first time ever I can say that I am completely depression and anxiety free and hope to become an entrepreneur in the psychedelic industry to give back what was given to me. I want to cry just thinking about all the lost souls who need help understanding their misery, I know that place and I wanted to get out so bad. I owe my entire life to these substances and my therapist. I am so healthy and capable now, all I want is to be able to give that back to others who were stuck just like me.

You sound like a very reasonable and intelligent man mr Andrzej Arse

[@Sean_Shaun_Shawn]

Important note: at 2:40 he mentions Psilocybin (active compound in magic mushrooms) but the timing and edit show Amanita Muscaria aka Fly Agaric (of which the active compounds are muscimol and ibotenic acid) which is completely different and commonly mistaken for magic mushrooms- while it CAN be used for hallucinogenic properties it's not recommended and typically not a very pleasant experience. Instead it's more commonly microdosed for anxiety, healthier sleep and more focus and has just started seeing a revolution in terms of understanding and use and also has a long standing traditional use in many communities throughout the world. It's an important distinction because they work on very different parts of the brain (GABA vs serotonin) and the same mistake has been propagated for the last few decades and thus many people write it off or lump it in as something people just take to trip exactly because of editing or assumption like this.

I'll be forever grateful for psychedelics. They helped me "rewire" my brain. Long story short, I got Tourettes syndrome, not in my wildest dream did I thought it was possible to locate what triggers my tics and many reasons behind them. It was like I could use the overheating brain signals to send the tics outside my body and forcing the impulse in the brain to just stay there, almost cooking. But after a while, it was cooling of. Sounds very easy, takes incredible amount of willpower but LSD, somehow, helped me locate why many of my tics is there. Like went straight into my subconcious and saw it in a way that I didn't knew was possible. Psychedelics is really incredible.

I have been suffering from CPTSD since I was abused for being autistic by my parents as a child. I was a nervous wreck around other people, afraid to talk to anyone, and my mental health was in the trash can. I had depression, I couldn't get myself to leave home or get a job, and I'd often times think about suicide or self injury. This all changed one day when I came across a few videos talking about psilocybin and ayahuasca. They mentioned how they could have long term lasting positive benefits on life meaning and helping you out of a depression. I took a leap of faith and tried both of these substances with a year between each of them. After psilocybin it was like I was snapped out of my funk instantly, and I began to turn my life around. I got a job, I learned to drive, I saved up and bought my own car and moved out of my grandmas house. Later I was still dealing with self worth and anxiety issues, so I tried the ayahuasca by going to a Native American church on the west coast. During the experience it was like all negative patterns of thought bubbled up, popped, and disappeared. I saw many visions and learned more about myself in the span of two nights than I've learned in my 25 years of life. I saw the light and love that I never had growing up and I was changed for the better. I'm still not perfect, and it would be foolish to expect to fix all my flaws, but I'm at a point where I can look at myself in the mirror and feel a sense of pride looking at how far I've come from where I started. These are powerful sacred medicines and be treated with respect. Anyone thinking about using should do proper research before committing to trying, and have the proper company. But if you do I promise it will change your life. (Also, this goes without saying, but don't buy these things online you'll only get scammed)

I've never used one, but if psychedelics can have a similar effect without physiological addiction then I'd say that's world changing. Today I'm too afraid to even try because I have auditory hallucinations associated with depressive psychosis. It's also illegal here, yay Florida.

I've had magic truffles (Psilocybin) about 5 times over the span of 2 years. I've had beautiful experiences with them and each one has been so different from the next. Beautifully introspective and a sense of happiness. Incredible visuals and enjoying things differently to what you've ever been used to. Delicious flavors got better and music was far more beautiful. But there's two sides to the coin in my personal experiences. My last two were less so beautiful and something slightly more sinister, bringing up difficult things from the past, not in a way that they made me feel despair or depressed, but touchingly sad nonetheless. Dancing on the line between what started out as a good trip, threatening to roll off into a bad trip but barely avoiding one. I've had my share of psychedelic experiences from now on and i'm choosing to close the book there. The experiences i've had have changed my life for the better and that's where I'll draw the line. To have had the experience and to be able to tell others about them. All I can say is that the company, the setting and the mindset are incredibly important, and you need to make sure you've got someone keeping watch if you really consider trying it. I was on the edge of a bad trip and the thought of that was scary. I have no doubt a bad trip is gonna do you more harm than good in the long run, so please be careful. ♥

Scientology has the best drug program of any program out there. If you even just read the material on it you'd see for yourself why someone would say this. (And you can ignore people that mock and ridicule Scientology, these people are afraid.)

[@indigenousdimensions826]

These things have been used as far back as we can go back. Nature has given us all we need. These things included. When it comes to these things one must experience these sacred journeys to fully grasp what they teach. Iboga which one don't get talked about as much happens to be the number 1 treatment for opiates and heroin. Within 45 minutes the withdrawal becomes non existent and one to three ceremonies has over a 90 percent success rate. Those who have experienced this all day they are guided by 2 spirits who guide them back to the root cause of the issue they are trying to overcome come then guide them on how they themselves can heal themselves. Which is why it's so successful. Each have their own benefits as to what it can bring individually. When taken correctly with knowing how these things work can do wonders. When you truly understand how they work you realize what many call a "bad trip" doesn't really exist. Like dreams they need to be interpreted. Since these journeys are individual if it's something one may call a bad trip then it's only showing the individual themselves that something major needs changed. Only the individual themselves truly knows what that will be if truly honest with themselves. These things tend to make the individual face the things they tossed in the closet and never faced. Becoming past attachments that become issues down the road. Once they are faced head on and only then can they truly be released from us and stay in the winds of the past. Allowing for better things to come to us. It's my perspective anyways from what I've experienced with these things. They are called plant teachers by some and once you've experienced it for oneself you'll understand why. I and I 🕉️

You shouldn't have to ingest a poison causing damage to your brain and central nervous system in order to see reality for the better.

Conversely with a vitamin for example this isn't the case.

I used to microdose for about 6 months last year and from my experience i must say that it worked better than any antidepressant I’ve ever been on (and ive been on a lot) But i just want to cross over one thing to anyone reading this… and this is just my personal experience and opinion (psilocybin affects everyone differently) Anyway, There’s a difference between microdosing to really help your depression and macrodosing with the mindset that it will fix your problems by itself. They will force you to confront your deepest traumas and face your biggest fears. You can’t fight it, you can’t change your thoughts. It will make you relive those traumas and im sorry to say this, but if you’ve had a lot of traumatic experiences in your life, you won’t have a good time on higher doses… even though your mindset and environment is perfect for the occasion. Im not trying to scare anyone off or say psychedelics are bad - but i feel that many people out there are under the impression that high doses can make things better overnight. Rather play it safe, stick with the amount that works best for you. I know the heroic dose sounds appealing and intriguing but I personally feel like some ppl should just not go there. I learnt the hard way after taking a very high dose and developed a new form of exestential depression paired with depersonalisation, which lasted a couple of months (I consider myself lucky) Today im too scared to try it again fearing flashbacks. Im hoping to microdose oneday again when they finally become legalised in my country. Stat safe people, respect this sacred fungi and it will resepect you🙏🍄

Isn't it surprising that, to some extend, the Human Body can generate its own drugs on its own, in order to generate (at least to certain extend) some sort of psychedelic experience in the Mind, without any external drug (except for excessive Oxygen, due to hyperventilation).

It has also been theorised that under the right conditions the brain is actually capable of producing it’s own form of dmt (or was it lsd? I can’t quite remember), which would go to show that we are already biologically predisposed to processing these substances. So no, if you train your brain the right way and do the right exercises, you don’t need psychedelics to achieve a psychedelic experience.

Psyadelics can be very confusing once your in it making peopel very uncomfortable so they freak out, which is why people dismiss it so much. If you can Take the experience and learn from it and go with the flow it’s beneficial.

Just to clarify the end. The new wave or psychedelic medicine come because of the initial wave in the 50 - 70s where psychedelic psychotherapist who was trained up wanted to practice it after it becoming illegal. After leaning the mechanics of how to make it legal he founded a company called Maps in the 90s, and slowly started re doing the research publicly funded.

[@xpndblhero5170]

I think if it wasn't for all of my massive psychedelic experiences that broke my brain, I'd probably be dead now because life is sometimes overwhelming and having psychedelic experiences that are way stronger than you expected can reset your brain and make you feel like a new person.... I can't wait for magic mushrooms to be legal so everyone can feel better about themselves.

While taking shrooms I felt myself repeatedly trying to point out a being in the room with me but any time I got close to coming in contact with it it just trapped me in an endless cycle in my own head. I also felt as if the shrooms were alive inside of me almost like my little friends😂

Damn son you got toyed with 😂 But yeah, I agree! Considering how intricate mycelial networks are, almost akin to a brain with neurons, it wouldn’t shock me to find out they’re another fully sapient, sentient species that have been evolvong along side us on this world for millions of years. They just didn’t go the route of developing individual egos like we did. They are our friends, and the fact that they’re showing up more and more in our collective consciousness right now proves that they are trying to help us, to assist us on our journey towards love and healing.

[@ojc8902]

I always reach a point where I legitimately start believing they are sentient and I have to thank them for showing me all these cool things. It always ends with this feeling of "Cheers guys, I'll see you later" 🤣

[@ScottWaring]

Wow, maybe the shrooms were alive. Steve Jobs said, “Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important-creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”

It sounds like psychedelics a biological version of partially reformatting a hard drive. It gets deeper into the source code of the brain and resets key components. So when you exit the experience, you're primed to change behaviors you couldn't before.

Im happy it is over and I will wait a bit now till I'll trip again and will then take a little more and dare to loose myslef a bit more, be ause today I was just trying very hard to get back to who I am.

LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought/behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

[@dmtdreamz7706]

On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.

[@thatpandaz6094]

Alcohol hits almost all those receptors. Alcohol is the true drug cocktail, it affects it all

[@bvdek]

I get what ur saying about flow state, it's a nice notion and i actually kinda agree, but there are a lot more neurochemical circuits in our brains than just those, and they have many subsets as well (such as 5HT-2A referred to in this vid). Most aren't simply "pleasure" chems. Fact is all those neurochemical transmitters (and many others) are active all the time. It's not like our brain (or drugs) switches them on and off to make us feel good. Those circuits are always 'on' and fluctuating, contributing to our psyche, regardless. They're responsible for every single conscious state we experience. Just my 2 cents. P.s methylamphetamine is an agonist for most of the neurochems u mentioned. P.s.s achieving flow state AND being on drugs simultaniously is insanely addictive lol.

It's hard not to advocate any healthy person should try a thoughtfully designed psychedelic experience at least once in their lives. To those of us that have done so, to suggest otherwise it analogous to suggesting one should go through life without ever falling in love.
