Paul Stamets - Psilocybin Mushroom Medicines: A Paradigm Shift in Global Consciousness

Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for millennia by several cultures from Europe to Mesoamerica. More than 116 species have been identified thus far in the genus Psilocybe alone. New scientific evidence is pointing to the fact that, not only can they be psycho-spiritually transformative, but they are capable of stimulating neurogenesis, i.e. the growth of nervous system tissue.
These recent discoveries show psilocybin’s potential for helping address such conditions as depression and anxiety, but perhaps as well to help prevent dementia, Alzheimer’s and other neuropathies. In fact, they may increase intelligence. But these exciting new findings have generated a rush of investors seeking to corner medicalized psilocybin, which raises the question: Should psilocybin mushrooms come to market as People’s Medicine or Profit Medicine?
Paul Stamets, one of the world’s leading authors, inventors, educators and entrepreneurs in the field of mycology, and very possibly the planet’s foremost expert on psilocybin mushrooms, shares his thoughts on the latest research and the rapidly evolving landscape of psychedelic medicine.
Paul Stamets delivered this talk at the 2020 Bioneers Conference, introduced by Kenny Ausubel. Watch more conference videos at bioneers.org/2020talks/
Paul Stamets, speaker, author, award-winning mycologist, medical researcher, groundbreaking mycological entrepreneur, and a visionary thought leader in the study of fungi and their uses in promoting human health, ecological restoration, and detoxification of the environment, is the author of six books, including: "Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save The World," "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms," and "Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World." Paul has discovered and named numerous new species of psilocybin mushrooms and is the founder and owner of Fungi Perfecti, LLC, makers of the Host Defense Mushrooms supplement line. And Paul’s work has now entered mainstream popular culture. The new Star Trek: Discovery series features a Lt. Paul Stamets, Science Officer and Astromycologist(!).

@Evan Laughlin there's no logic for psylocybin to be illegal, look at the studies done with the compound at University College London. He's doing the right thing by promoting it, so the word gets out to the world exponentially and the beurocrats can finally stop shitting their panties and allow research to be done without having an audit every 2 hours.

I have ptsd and MDD, I have childhood trauma, and I have struggled since childhood with depression and SI. I microdosed for the first time and it wasn’t what I expected, in the very best way. I didn’t hallucinate and I didn’t feel “high.” I felt the most “normal” I had felt in years, if ever. It brought me to tears. It was the first night I didn’t struggle with the black cloud that lingers regardless of what I have tried... We have so ignorantly ignored the most vital creation in our existence.

Not necessary. A dickhead stays a dickhead. I believe in psilocibin therapeutic effects but it can also be a super way to escape reality and therefore make you more miserable. If you know that nothing from outside can bring you redemption then you might try mushrooms in a sacred "special" self reflection time. Once again it is not a shortcut but it can definitely help for healing cptsd if you do it for that purpose and already know how to navigate. Opening certain parts of your psyche can be dangerous

This man is literally changing the world. I’m bipolar type 1 and I struggle pretty heavy with it. I am medicated and I take my medication, but even so, sometimes it isn’t enough. I’ve experimented with microdosing psilocybin recently and I have been having profound results. Consistently, I have been able to identify signs of coming episodes, something I haven’t been able to previously do despite therapy and medication, and plan accordingly. I can go on and on, but long story short, my life has completely changed for the better. I’ve decided to stop smoking since starting microdosing and have been smoke free for a solid 4 months now, without any desire for it. I’m back to working out, taking better care of myself, and finding enjoyment in life I’ve never had before. This man is a treasure and I cannot emphasize how much his research has helped me.

Thank you Paul for your great work. I am sure that a lot of people are going to be free of those pain that so many live with, I know personally how it can be so hard to live with. Thank you again

I'm 63 and great to see physadelics are being used for therapy, well being and reconnecting with nature and ourselves. Working on decriminalizing mushrooms in Missoula Montana. Share your concerns about commercialization of a sacred substance. I have learned recently with the right guidance they are easy to grow😉

[@bluewaters3100]

I am 69..used to live in Missoula and Helena in the 70's. Presently am in a town not too far from Paul Stamets in Port Orchard, WA. Would you be willing to share your grow and legal information with me? Just one experience with psilocybin changed the trajectory of my life when I was 23. It stayed with me and I can recall it whenever I want to smile.

Thanks for many years of Bioneers Nina and Kenny. I enjoyed them all and got introduced to people that changed my world view.

[@julianthomas9817]

Paul, I salute you for the long breath. You’ve known this and worked tremendously hard to get to the point where you’ve taken this whole subject. It’s one of the most profound discoveries for all humanity. This is what can elevate us all into the better world. Sorry about the 60’s. Thank you for your strength and thorough investigation. I love you and I deeply appreciate your smart and knowledge and systematic analysis and, well etc etc.

There is another path to the top of any feild other then the University Track. Paul has shown us how a mind.. . not conditioned by The university lecture hall or lab seminars, can come up with ideas the academics have not. He doesn't have the conditioning and in turn has eyes like no other.. Love him, he is an asset to our Culture.

[@thomasperusi7854]

this man is a genius! I was fortunate enough to have grown up in south Florida around cow pastures back in 1973. I had no idea until I skipped my high school graduation and went with buddy by van with our dirt bikes to Gainesville, mushroom mecca at the time. That is when I found out its the same mushroom that is all over where I ride my bikes back in Deerfield beach lol. I know the benefits that Paul talks about and more. I believe it gave my brain a kick in the ass to want to learn everything this being one. I was a troubled kid in trouble all the time, terrible in school. had my 3 year love affair with mushrooms I always missed. I went on to a wonderful career in aviation flight test and much more I know I owe to those years! Now I am retired disabled vet and my memory is not so hot and depression can be a monster to anyone. Because I knew what it did for me is how I wound up finding this site. After fantastic fungi I was convinced I can get it myself. thanks so much

[@thatnikkiyouknow]

So glad I watched this! I've been interested in researching and supporting the use of psilocybin mushrooms since they saved my life nearly a decade ago. I'm returning to school in the fall for a science degree and I'm so excited about the future of the planet if we can spread this knowledge and introduce more people to the benefits of psilocybin safely.

Also good is reading The Brain That Changes Itself by Dr. Norman Doidge, for simpler or diff methods that may also compliment.

[@kianpowell6814]

I have read so many reports on how amazing this is for curing brain problems, i've been using the stamet's stack for about a month now, and WOW! depression is almost a distant memory, i have arthritis and bad joint problems and shakes, these have almost nullified, i read that someone cured epilepsy on one microdose. Now i love fruit and veg, i used to eat crappy saturates, and my smoking is down by 80%

I have heard so many great and awesome things about magic mushrooms but unfortunately I can't find some, Any reliable source to purchase from????

[@harmonrc492]

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 myself 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 alot. It gave me a lot of hope that things would be fine, this is the one thing I heard throughout the trip : Everything is alright.The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me. Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I'm rebuilding my life one step at a time.

[@charisjames1760]

I battle from depression, anxiety and PTSD, I've heard shrooms cured depression, I took it and it helped me. Wish doctors were more open to natural medicines over big pharma but we know why.

[@gordonbarker4951]

I absolutely agree with Paul's assertion that post experience of trip, the re-remembering of the experience itself brings mental health benefits........why? For me its the epiphany of seeing the world absent ego and without past experience reference. This truly brings an understanding of how constructed my normal perception is releasing me from taking "normality" too seriously.

[@chevremauvais5724]

I admire Paul that he has 'staying power' and able to share more than during the prohibitive 1980's when even a contextual mention of "Psilocybe" and research was scientific banishment. Additionally, Paul has contributed to the general consciousness or awareness of our mycological biome, its vastness and potentialities to heal ourselves and planet as interjections to cultural narratives old and new. Thank you Paul and All Relations.
