Feel free to watch this on 2x speed

Consuming magic mushrooms was the most deeply profound experience of my life. Thanks for sharing information about these amazing little fungi ❤️

Very cool to hear! They are quite interesting

Great Podcast, I personally think psychedelics will play a large role in the war against degrading mental health. I think Covid is currently taking a huge toll on peoples mental health, and psychedelics can offer an effective treatment against it. I think the shroom boom from a stock market impact, may not have as many players, or mimic the MJ boom, but I think there’s a lot of money to be made by investing in the bigger players like Numinus, Mindmed, compass, etc

Thanks! I agree, I think that it will play a big part in mental health as well, very cool research begin done.

Mushrooms are incredibly cheap in comparison to cannabis. Hopefully any economic boom does not come from locking these drugs down to individual company products. Thankfully at home treatments will always be possible for those who need to save a few bucks by bending the rules a little.

keep going, the more people talk about this stuff, the less taboo its gonna have

I had a whole ounce and been microdosing and been avoiding a full on heroic trip dose. Have done it before so I'm just being a sissy about it. Lately. Anyway, sad they legalized weed as it causes more harm then it does good but it's addictive and generates huge profits it got legalized. Mushrooms aren't that profitable as they are not addictive and not something you want to do all the time. But, I could be wrong.

Ok who has cured there depression with this ?? If so how protocol etc. ...

[@RyanHellyer]

I followed the procedure used by the Imperial College study into treatment resistant depression. It worked. I consumed 10 mg of psilocybin (in the form of 1 g of psilocybin cubensis mushrooms, because I didn't have easy access to pure psilocybin in capsule form as used in the study) in combination with ongoing psychotherapy. I didn't have access to a hospital room as used in the study, but I think doing it at home is probably more effective anyway, as it leaves you more at rest. Most of the experience was had with a blindfold on and relaxing "spacey" music playing through headphones. I occasionally removed the blindfold and headphones to discuss the experience with my friend who was there to support me through the experience. While blindfolded, I tried to focus on asking myself why various aspects of my life were not going as intended. I asked myself why certain things stressed me out and why I became angry at some things; I didn't realise it at the time, but this seemed to provoke a lot of emotional experiences which helped in a deeply profound way in the weeks following the trip. For legal reasons, my psychotherapist was not able to be present during the treatment, but they did join later in the day once the majority of the effects had worn off and during the months following it. The Imperial College procedure included a jump to 25 mg if the 10 mg dose was insufficient. I did not need the dose increase though. The effects of that initial dose were abrupt and life changing. My first psilocybin treatment was the most deeply profound and positive experience of my existence. My life underwent an abrupt change (mostly for the better) in the weeks following the treatment. It was also the most terrifying experience of my life.

My biggest piece of advice, is to make sure you are absolutely prepared as well as possible. You need to be very clear on what your purpose of doing the trip is and how you are going to approach it.

[@RyanHellyer]

BTW, you can also attend treatment clinics in the Netherlands. The Synthesis Institute is one of the larger ones and has direct connections to the Imperial College study I mentioned earlier. The price for the treatments is extremely high though and I suspect you can just get the same effect for free by doing it at a home. I was going to attend the Synthesis Institute myself, but the coronapocalypse stymied that plan hence I ended up doing it at home. But in retrospect I'm very happy with how it worked out. I think if you plan well enough and have a clear goal, then doing it at home is probably as effective or possibly even more so, since you may be more relaxed when in your home environment.

@@RyanHellyer I assume you are cured from your depression

[@RyanHellyer]

@@garysimone4977 It feels like it. The mushroom trip taught me why I get depressed. So when it happens, I'm aware of what is causing it and am able to stop it now before it spirals out of control.
