Psychedelics: Chemicals, Consciousness, and Creativity

#BrianGreene #ReggieWatts #RickDoblin #GulDolen #MAPS
Could psychedelics make you more creative? Shift your mind, connect you to others, and help you access a younger, more malleable version of yourself? Activist Rick Doblin, neuroscientist Gül Dölen, and musician Reggie Watts join Brian Greene for a mind-bending and multidisciplinary conversation about the promises and pitfalls of these "magic" molecules and their impact on creativity, connection, and consciousness.
This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

I had a psychedelic experience once that sent me to eternity and meeting the creator. My ego dissolved yet I was physically terrified. It was so magical and so full of love, changed my life for good. In the most positive way possible.

I was being treated for Bipolar disorder, I was on an antipsychotic, mood stabilizer, anti depressant and anti anxiety medication. I've been off my meds for a little over two years now and actually feel JOY! I give the credit to changing my environment and Psilocybin. Psilocybin can rejuvenate neurons that have become dormant from depression and actually grows and thickens dendrites! This is how we can help encourage neuroplasticity.

[@deadbeats4894]

I really wish 🍄 were legal. The only way I can get off of these SSRIs is microdosing. They're turning brains into pudding. I don't have regular access so I'm gonna have to learn to fruit my own to heal myself. I'd rather not do it in a medical setting anyway lol.

Wow..our stories match to a 'T'...Im hoping Psilocybin 🙏 will help me to finally free myself of the horrible anti phycotics I've been on for 15 years. Although they have helped me alot in my journey that put me in my current position, I am ready to come off of them because of the side effects. Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@janskyheart]

Wonderful to hear…. I too was told to take anti-psychotics in my 20’s, but I said no… and if I had psychedelics as an option… my very very slow healing journey would have been much faster and deeper. After all the research, it is still illegal! The health care system is so impotent at best and often very harmful. Thankfully most police serves don’t really care and turn a blind eye. Anyway glad you have benefited so profoundly from psychedelics.

[@set-tes4316]

I tried some psilocybe cubensis and the experience I had was life altering, life saving trully. I am a 25 yo man who suffered from severe depression and PTSD for 6 years. I felt trapped in a never ending nightmare that was consuming me slowly but surely without any way out. I was on 3rd line of treatment, tried to take my own life twice, couldn't go long without sharp chestpain, backpain, migraines. An invisible burden that would soften sometimes just to come back even stronger and strip me of all hopes. I don't want to paint psychedelics as a panacea but in my case, where I felt like common western medecine had failed me, it trully was a miracle. I had lost my faith in a god but the mystical journey felt like a revelation, a contact with a higher entity. My darkest thoughts, the things who traumatized me and the dread of existence were filling my head but without any anxiety or fear. There was a sense of purpose and unity within the world, our beautiful nature and the cosmos it was trully magnificient. It was something words can't do justice, I felt like weeks had passed during the 6 hours it lasted. After I came back to a normal state of conciousness I felt no pain, no sorrow, no emptyness. I was a person again and not just a shell emptied by years of suffering. It was a real reset in my brain, I had forgotten what it felt to feel something other than pain or dread. What it feels to look forward to something that is not the release of death. I am so happy. It's been 5 months and I trully feel like I am healed.

I did psychedelics many times in my 20's. Almost every trip was amazing and incredibly enjoyable. No it didn't make me insane, but gave my life a renound sense of child-like wonder that has stayed with me 40 years on. Yes there were a few times tripping when I had moments of real terror, but it was always quickly followed by laughter over it. I have no regrets over taking it.

[@smeer001]

An example of a terror moment - at the peak of a trip, I threw up a taco with beef chilli in the toilet. I looked down and saw my heart beating in the bowl. I was convinced that I pucked out my ❤️. I had a panic attack, thinking it would be a waste of time to call for an ambulance, because I will surely be dead any moment. After a minute, I spent the next hour laughing about it. I was fortune to have never lost the fact that I was under the influence of a drug. I have heard of people who forget this fact and had terrible trips that affected them badly. Taking these drugs are not for everyone. Especially people with real psychological problems.

[@TropicShade]

I feel you on this. I got my addiction studies degree in 2018 with the main goal of working with psychedelics to treat addiction when the legal avenues arise. I was up front about my intentions from the get go and many of the teachers were not supportive of my path. I did a paper on MDMA and had used the phase 1 studies from MAPS as a source. My instructor at the time tried to say they (MAPS) were a bunch of "crack pots" in California and wasn't going to accept the sources of my paper because she thought they weren't peer review studies. Not only that, she thought to make an example out of me for the rest of the class and put my paper on blast in class. Of course I made her look like a fool when I shared my peer reviewed examples and, of course, she had to accept my paper and apologize for being wrong. I've known the benefits of psychedelics since a very early age. I'm very thankful the tide has finally turned and that these medicines will soon be available to help our sick society. Keep up the good work!

Congrats for having the confidence to talk about something that needs to be talked about. That’s very admirable.

[@Gamerock82]

Some of the stuff out there is exactly what you were taught in school. Make no mistake. Others though, psychedelics in my case especially Cubensis, are fundamental to who you are supposed to be. Almost as if taking them, synchronizes you with all realities. If you let it. I guess if we entertain one we must give all methods their just respect. So long as it is in a known-to-be-safe environment, especially for first-timers, then I firmly believe every person should exp at least once. Correctly done, I also believe many of the current ills of the world could be solved a lot quicker if the right decision makers would just take psychedelics, one single time. It is almost more about the inner harmony, the months that follow, than it is about the actual 5 - 6 hour trip.

Psychedelics can have profound effects. My experiences literally made me into the man I am today - but their glorification is a grossly dangerous thing. They may have been used throughout the history of mankind, but usually in controlled and quasi-religious settings. A psychedelic trip in the wrong set or setting will shred your mind in ways that are simply not able to be described in language.

This is exactly what came to mind, what if change of perception is towards wrong dangerous side instead of creativity and great noble things? It would seem Having good environment around you and protection from bad dark side is crucial

I really don't see how one can have a bad trip without having the worst environment ever or being completely unprepared for the experience/afraid of themselves/the " "plant" teacher" Like, I just completely surrender and trust it, even mentalizing: "take over my body and take me away, as far away as you like and then some" when the ego death starts to creep in

I gave up reading music 25 years ago and so glad I did.

[@tedseb7726]

Yeah, and once you have a fundamental grasp of the instrument it really becomes like that of humming or whistling/singing and makes it allot easier to improvise as you are not expending any of your focus on how you’re gonna move your fingers so you can be fully present while listening to a band or track and play along in real time, which also becomes easy once you understand the structure of how music and songs work and train your ear to pick up on the chord changes. Different songs have different chord structures (ex: a song with a 1,4,5 progression in the key of C major would progress with the first chord being C, followed by C and then F) the why isn’t important, but my point is simply that songs follow a set formula and once you learn the formulas you are then aware of how the song progresses so that you’re not swing in the dark guessing. And the coolest part of all this is that with sufficient practice this all happens subconsciously and at that point your entire focus is exclusively on expressing your emotion and imparting how the musical piece makes you feel into the mix and even that doesn’t require much effort, though is a very personal thing to pour the entirety of your soul out into what you’re playing and feels like a very vulnerable place. Kinda like crying in public. That’s why I don’t perform, but I am in love with music and will play guitar until draw my last breath :) 🤙

In the 1960s, we used to prepare for a trip. We chose the music we wanted, draped windows with beautiful fabrics, set out candles for the lighting, and incense. We set up areas for laying down, and comfortable sitting. We bathed or showered, and placed interesting and beautiful things around the room, and unplugged the phone. We also removed mundane objects from the area. We had water ready for everyone, and often juice. We designated someone who would not take the drug, but was there in case someone needed talking down. We all took it together at the same time. These preparations made for very positive experiences. It was never a party drug for us, so we received a more Spiritual journey that was profound.🖤🇨🇦

This is a fascinating time in socioeconomic development. The incessant commodification of everything in order to fuel the financial growth required to sustain capitalism is now reaching into psychedelics. Soon these will be bought and sold like any other product, and these compounds tend to widen people's perspectives in a way that makes them adopt anti-capitalist beliefs. The revelations you experience when tripping and seeing existence from a third-person perspective make the systemic failings so apparent that they cannot be ignored. It's a perfect example of inbuilt contradictions within capitalism and how it ultimately undermines itself. Pharmaceutical companies will try and tame the beast that is the psychedelic experience. They fear the anti-consumerist culture of the 60s, see that the resurgence is about to occur, and think the best they can do is contain and direct it while profiting. They'll sell these as therapeutics, productivity drugs, etc., but it's going to backfire on them. Personally, I think that's great.

To rebuild the code in your brain, the impact of walking through the doors of perception and returning to the ordinary world on your hero’s journey through medicinal pathways where the benefits outweigh almost any route taken. I can’t stress enough how much the impact the mentorship I’ve received through the mother and the father, the golden teachers, and other entities have had on my mental facilities. The mental complications I’ve had with ADHD, OCD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, fear, stubbornness, confidence, approval, etc. have definitely been impacted and course corrected. It’s not for everyone, but this phenomenal documentary on psychedelics is more than worth your time. Psychedelics are a component of humanity timeline as they tell our story, they have apart of it long before and will be long after. I put this before you, as I discovered them, or I can say they discovered me when I needed healing. I can without a doubt say that the impactful experience of psychedelics as I’ve grown as a person, the growth process, mentally and creatively along with my pursuits for knowledge, fast tracked leaps and bounds as a byproduct.

A critique on people who take psychedelics or hippies who have another view in life. After one goes to remind change the tend to forget how the conscious was before they went through that might change and how they look to other observers who are not gone through the conscious change of say psychedelic. Yes they have developed consciences but they forget how a conscious was before they had it they only have some moments to remember. That is a big factor why it’s not growing nowadays, we’re slowly growing. These hippies don’t give a shit about how they look or perceive to others around them which is fine but if you’re wanting to teach the perspective of your own to others you must match the perspective of others first so they can understand you and you can understand them and then you can share the information

Hey Decorus :) Good luck on your quest. I'd just like to say that here, in the Netherlands, PTSD got an additional category called complex PTSD.

I have some friends that really struggled to get the right diagnosis (and appropriate help) therefor. I wish you guidance and health

Way back in the day I ate some peyote buttons and eventually I ended up in Boulder Creek in Boulder Colorado. I remember merging with the water in the creek like I was water molecules. Then I flowed with the water in the creek and I became aware that I was connected to all the places that the creek flowed. Then eventually, I merged with the Mississippi River and flowed into the Gulf of Mexcio. I became aware that I was the totality of the water in the Gulf of Mexica and then I was the totality of the all the water on the Earth.

Sometimes it turns out the whole illegalisation of certain substances was money/fear driven by people with their own agendas. Since these boycots are almost global while their health contribution could be so large, I feel like the people stalling this progress for so long should be held accountable (or at least be called out). Here in the Netherlands, for example, we like to follow the US a bit too much. Also, psilocybin mushrooms have been illegalized some years ago because a French tourist committed suicide while on mushrooms. I guess i'm trying to say that the whole "war on drugs" thing is still backfiring.

my last trip taught me things about myself that I can't even put into words. I used to trip for fun and games or to enjoy a video game or TV. But my last trip. my last trip showed me where I was wrong. what I was not doing that I should be. it was frightening but being a experienced user and sorta a pysconaut , I knew what was happening. my subconscious had finally revealed to me what I had been shying away from. let's just say now , I'm a dad of two and a husband to a loving wife. if you are going to use , use wisely , in a comfortable setting. remember there is no such thing as a bad trip. what's makes a trip bad is just you learning something about yourself , your environment, others, that you have been ignoring or pushing to the subconscious. accept the Information you are allowed incite to. the ln when you come down fix it. become better. one love ! one consciousness. peace love and happiness fellow star beings ❤

resiliency training for servicemen. I have heard that in the Netherlands they are paying more and more attention and to de-escalation. From what I know, police in The Netherlands receive more training than in the USA, but still not enough. The situation in the Netherlands is generally less tense due to citizens not being armed as much. So if you ask me, the police in the USA need a heck of allot more training. I've seen many different body cam vids. More from the US than of The Netherlands. In The Netherlands there is racial profiling for sure, but what I see coming out of the US is sometimes scary shit. Police not knowing the laws, venting anger or frustrations on people of other racial backgrounds. I don't live in the Netherlands. I live on Curacao. It is sometimes difficult to understand that conditioning from another era is still being passed on. Many historical examples and up to this day. These are indeed the things that psychedelics tend to allow you to see. Personally through meditation I have slowly learned that I do not speak in certain ways anymore. Kinder more nuanced words, being less reactive, but with all the things going on on this planet I think we need to make haste with institutionalizing these amazing insight giving plant medicines and molecules. A professional could even make a cocktail of them to help guide the mind into the right direction for the profile of the patient. The health of the planet is in a pretty bad shape. And I ask myself many times if I am adding to the problem or solving it. Right now personally I am more of the problem than the solution
