Psilocybin mushrooms have augmented my feeling of what life is really all about, changed my perspective of living to a whole different level, seeing the beauty of nature in its abundance whilst also making me aware of what surrounds me and it's importance.

[@JaredHeffernan]

I started microdosing mushrooms in place of my prescriptions and the difference is night and day in my mental health and my anger i feel like I've become a better person best decision ive ever made wish it was more accessible to those that need.

[@RrDls]

Where do you fetch from?

[@RrDls]

Can you help me with the reliable source. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

[@AnthonyLlc]

I've always had alcohol addiction until I came across psychedelics, it's been a life changing experience.

[@DaveDoutre]

I really don't know how dr.wheelershrooms grows them, he's strains are 💯 pure.

[@ingridsara213]

Psilocybin mushrooms. Best shrooms I’ve ever had! Had some amazing trips when I first started taking them. Now I micro dose every few days before work and it has literally changed my life completely for the better.

[@scarrywarry]

I have been giving my mother who is 93 and had dementia, the 3 together for 3 weeks now and have filmed her hands on the first day and today and her right hand was almost still! The left more than 50 % beter, her mood is also do much beter, this works! Thank you so much Paul Stamets for all your findings ❤❤❤

[@wendywright9596]

I also have medicine related tourettes and my stammer is back.

[@alicehousby7360]

Brilliant! Nature has so much to teach us when we embrace and remember our symbiotic relationship. Thank you both x

[@Joel-yi8gb]

Did shrooms 4 times. First time all I could say for 12 hours is " Get into it Man " Second time I laughed so hard my chest hurt for days. Great experience

[@dj-tn6in]

And the other two?

[@thomasfox7468]

​@@dj-tn6in 😂

[@zachsiska69]

That’s only two times 😂😂

[@user-ri2te9nn8r]

I came across magic mushroom in the sixties and I while doing other psychedelics but I couldn't believe that you could get high on mushrooms but after awhile but went to a field in NFLD and found the little one's and like they are magic and led me to love and nature and nature and music and Mother Nature and now I m listening to this wonderful program.I am 75. and I do. the odd cyanoses and life moves on and they helped learn me have a greater awareness of death.

[@beckyconstantinides2546]

Thank you ! This is so timely for me! I had total knee replacement a month ago and the pain is extreme. I have mushrooms but didn’t think they would be good now but as I saw myself sinking into depression from unrelieved pain , I started microcosing a week ago. I guess my body knew best . I find them very helpful and now I know they would be good for me in my rehab. I probably should have started sooner. Thank you to both of you excellent human beings! Blessings to you both.

[@kellysueduncan]

Anything that can erase human constructs can't be bad. In the 60's pot smokers were considered thugs,they were outcasts. Now we have dispensaries in every town.

[@frequentlycynical642]

Trust me, we were not thought of as thugs. We were considered the same way heroin addicts were by the authorities.

[@fatsand5971]

I always describe to people the experience you have on psilocybin is that your questions about life get answered but you do not get to bring those answers back with you after the effects wears off. However you have a feeling of content with the awareness that those questions have been answered while in that state without a specific memory of what the answers were.

[@joydurand]

Write them down 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@AC-nk2vx]

Yes that's exactly what I have been doing on each trip. Write all of it down in my journal ​@@joydurand

[@randomjoe9400]

​@@AC-nk2vx I use a recording app on my phone because I can speak much faster than write. I replay it and write stuff down later.

[@joydurand]

@@AC-nk2vx excellent idea. I'm a newbie btw ..🙋🏼‍♀️ have a great day!

[@GP-gt4bo]

I remember your appearance in the film documentary “Have A Nice Trip” along with Sting and Ben Stiller amongst many many other notables. It was very compelling. I really enjoyed the subject regarding psychedelic therapies. We need less stigma and more conversation for sure!

[@tidragon08]

Paul Stamets is the Neil deGrasse Tyson of Mushrooms. Truly inspiring 🙌

[@themanwhoknewtoomuch6667]

This is the best interview I have ever watched. Two icons of the scientific world of psychedelics & health sharing great memories & understandings! I tripped on 🍄 in the misty dawn of a new morning in an Alabama cow field a long time ago & so happy I did!

[@lyricallycorazon4733]

I got Golden teachers shrooms from them they're Reliable if it's hard to source shrooms locally do look them up

[@GrowMoSeeds]

So did you "stumble upon them" in the cow field before you tripped on them? Did you fall? If so, you probably just tripped on a rock or slipped on a cow pie. 🤷‍♀️🤔😋

[@lrwiersum]

Microdosing transformed my life. I faithfully does every single morning. Mushrooms are the first thing to pass my lips every day.

[@louisewilliams9895]

You need to take a break though, and follow a protocol

[@hookedonherbs3825]

I don’t hear people talk about how much they can help with unrelenting pain. I have rare genetic disease Porphyria and the pain at times is unbearable. There is no cure! But in the worst of it, a few grams of mushrooms give me a few hours of total pain relief and they have also helped me find ways to better navigate this illness by helping me be much better connected to my body.

[@mikeneidlinger8857]

I picked mushrooms in Washington State in the puget Sound. I first bought Cubensis in California in Santa Cruz at College. I had smoked a lot of Ganja before I shroomed and so I took to the heroic doses! As a psychonaut who got into hard drugs, I found that my trip turned into smoking Crack Cocaine while peaking on LSD! I am very happy that I have been sober for 21 years.

[@kyleconde5943]

From your experience to the shrooms help you or did it influence you to take crack

[@mikeneidlinger8857]

I used to smoke blunts with this guy. Mexican Pot. He always put in so I smoked with him. He told me one day he was going to smoke crack and asked me if I wanted to try it? My cousin used to steal cars to buy crack so I was curious and decided to try it. After you smoke Crack you are up for anything. I moved into this apartment with two meth dealers living above me. I got into Meth.

[@seismicwhale5371]

​@mikeneidlinger8857 youre full of shit. This reads like a bad AI script.

[@billybethel]

I've been reading books by both of you guys since the 1980s. Both of you have influenced my Life in deep ways. Lately I've been fascinated by the work of Joe Dispenza as well. Thank you

[@robboback1814]

Psilocybin, I considered, was the most beautiful, loving and mind opening experience in my world! I saw and felt love and beauty everywhere!! I have one question about what I see while tripping. Of course this was decades ago,......why do I see beautiful geometric patterns in the tree branches that look perfectly normaly grown that way only while tripping........after it wears off,....the branches just appear as random miss mash patterns??????

[@KrystynaGoLove]

Hello from Cornell! Thank you Deepak for your wisdom and spirituality, I am happy to find you.

[@GrowMoSeeds]

22:51 Important footnote, indeed! Thank you, @paulstamets 👍 (The Stamets Stack for Epigenetic Neurogenesis is with 0.2g Lion's Mane dried *mycelium*, NOT fruit bodies. (But the other mushrooms ARE NOT the mycelium? Has anyone experimented with a stack that includes *P. cubensis* mycelium as well as or instead of the mushroom fruit bodies.

[@patriciaching100]

Really enjoyed.. hopefully more interviews and maybe even a book will follow..What a wonderful gift to the medical community.. maybe useless operations will become less.. just from the heart opening. TY

[@GrowMoSeeds]

41:25 ❤ "I am awake" (Buddha's last words in response to the question of who or what he was.) Powerful. The mushroom said this was the first time I'd "woken up" (though it might have been because I'd said I was a myco-intelligence having a strange human experience 😅... ) No, I wasn't tripping or on any drugs. It'd been years at that time (2018). 🤷‍♀️

[@ujjwalseth5651]

Beautiful conversation so Enlightening My love & Gratitude ❤

[@te7607]

Deepak, this is in response to your question about Jesus, the water to wine, the manna.. You may find this very interesting seeing as your passion is consciousness. When you start to see the biblical Texts in metaphor , everything changes. Water in my opinion is a metaphor for consciousness. When god moved upon the face of the water second line of the book of genesis, I believe this is an indicator that LOVE itself moved through the molecules of the water much like the studies of the late Dr. Masaru Emoto.. so water to wine is to me an elevation in consciousness, wine or grapes would be an analogy of taking the grape and alchemizing it into spirit (pure consciousness void of ego) .. water to wine could be seen as he brought spirit into the consciousness of those at the wedding party. Manna, was wisdom to me (so very well could have been a mushroom) as they just “parted the sea” another water analogy of ascending a level of consciousness, while being lost in the wilderness for 40 years they were wandering because they weren’t yet readied for the promised land.. and most still are not.. it was never a physical Location it was “Christ consciousness” this promised land. (The holy “Whole-y” city is in the kingdom of heaven which is found within)

[@richardharris2494]

Hi, I'm so enamored of Paul's teaching. I can't wait to meet him someday.

[@wendywright9596]

I really want to try tripping. I suffer from ptsd, tbi, copd, anxiety, and anger issues. I want to connect to the mother earth. She's calling me to trip. Lol😊 But I live in a state where it's illegal. 😢 can you suggest a suitable type of mushroom that will help me. Thank you in advance. Love both teachers

The best research results will emerge from trials with repetitive criminals in prison. If its non toxic it should be easy to get permission & approval from the patients who will volunteer for the trial.

The fact that it can make less robbery and other bad activity illustrates how people who do bad actions are people who are disconnected from reality and not seeing truth of other peoples truths, they have become biased and not seeing things very well.

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@billgreen892]

In the Rig Veda the Sanskrit proposes the term, "aja ekapod" in reference to Soma, translated as "not born single-foot," not born ,as the ancient saw no seeds and could not see the spores, therefore their "birth" was unnacounted for aka "not born". Single foot obviously aslo applies to a mushroom, the single stope that supports the fruiting body in psiilocybin or amanita muscaria.

[@PierreDuhamel-lj1vb]

^Magic mushrooms will remind and convice you that your very essence is more than physical reality...micro-dosing is truly amasing way to use higher realm energy down the physical body as a radio tuning to curative musical thoughts..... I think you can have positive tuning with ever decreasing doses as homeophatic dilution effect...STAY TUNE!!!

[@LivingWithCTE]

I live with suspected CTE and brain injury im really hoping this can help me. Micro dosing has not but working on macro dosing

[@occultmama]

Have you tried the stamets stack? Or just microdosing psilocybin? From what I understand the stack is what makes it work best

[@LivingWithCTE]

@@occultmama ​​⁠ ive done micro dosing with and without paul Stamets stack with no improvement. I recently did a 2 grams dose with no improvements so will keep increasing the dose slowly until hopefully i find something

[@jgm33884]

As I understood, you need a high dose first and then the microdosing helps to keep the wisdom going until you are ready for another big leap. It's all part of rewiring the brain pathways to function properly.

[@2ndborn186]

Where does one get shrooms?

[@getoncourse4621]

I think there are grow kits you can buy.

[@jameswest4819]

I read most of Paul's books and was quite interested in medicinal mushrooms. I ended up being really disappointed at the prices he was charging for "potential" cancer cure mushrooms. It appeared that he was a lot more interested in the money than helping anyone. I ended up buying from other, less greedy, Internet sellers. His little packages were way too expensive for most people to buy. Mushrooms do NOT make you a better person.

You mean paramecium? And no one says that lol. We know through the fossil record we came from smaller and smaller things. Down to a multicellular being. It requires no belief, just evidence. Complexity gives rise tocmore complexity. At a certain point our complexity invented religion and other mythology. Sadly religion stuck around bc it helps cope with the fear of death. Oddly enough by scaring people with hell and torture so they conform to whatever norms the leaders want them to have.
