What are psychedelics? | The latest scientific perspectives

[@leeastott1549]

This is a great summary of what psychedelics are and how they can be used. I really love your down to earth explanations. It definitely seems you have experience with psychedelics on both a personal and academic level. Looking forward to your future content!

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Thanks so much, Leea! Really glad you enjoyed the video!

[@zengmeiw8359]

Thanks again. By doing this channel you are contributing to open science :) I feel several psychedelic experience could have happened to me though I have never had psychedelics...this might be one of the reasons that make interested in the research.

[@homo-sapiens-dubium]

Your channel is great! Thats exactly what I have been looking for. Objective, scientific models and explanation hypotheses. I'm autistic a scientist and hyperfocusing physcedelics lately and I approve your channel [high mark for being high informative quality]

[@elcuranderointerior7542]

Dear Manesh, when you sumarize psychedelics is sounds very mucht to what in the best scenario is what takes weeks, months or years, to achieve through psychoterapy....and in the worst scenario never. Thanks for your explanations

[@srijeetm]

Thank you for sharing all this useful information! Looking forward to your future videos!

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Thank you, Jeet!!

Fantastic presentation Brother! It's packed full of info without being at all dense. Ho!

[@JessiEce1]

Your approach to three main psychedelic compounds taught me a lot, now I have a clear idea on them. This channel is finally here to teach us the scientific side of these mysterious compounds rather than only focusing on the limited personal experience (which is basically the whole KZbin scene on psychedelics). Congratulations!

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Thank you, Ece!! I'm really glad you were able to see the contribution of my channel to the psychedelic KZbin space - that was definitely my intention ;)

Much Love!!!!!

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Thanks, Andrew!!

[@blakerupert]

Excellent summation! What a great primer to be shown to anyone searching for an accessible and in-depth summation

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Much appreciated, Blake! I'm very happy to hear you thought so!

[@joylynsecunda]

That was a very engaging and well organized overview of psychedelics!

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Thank you, Joylyn!!

Dope video!

[@rachaelsophiagomez]

i love these videos! i would love more advice videos for undergraduate students looking to get into this field. also, i would love to see you on tik tok! the algorithm on there is crazy and it would be amazing for more people to have access to this information.

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

I may do a video giving advice on that in the near future - lots of people messaging about it lately! And yes you're totally right about tik tok. I've posted a few videos in the past but trailed off. Still gotta master the whole short-form 15 second content game...but seems to be a worthy venture

[@bubbleworld4172]

Very informative video. Thank you! Those jump cuts are really annoying though.

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Thanks! And yes, I agree. This was my first video and I've come a long way since then

[@rafaelbendavid4041]

Groovy! Can you make a video on DMT and David Nutt's most recent research?

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Thank you, Rafael! Yes, there will definitely be future videos on DMT and David Nutt - stay tuned!

Plesee hold your hands while speaking..

How do you feel about people taking psychedelics by themselves?

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

First I need to say that it's important to recognize that psychedelics are illegal in most countries/most states within the US, and I'm not advocating for the use of these substances when it is against the law. That said, if the law allows, I would always recommend having a sitter of some sort. They don't need to take a substance, and don't need to necessarily be right beside you the entire the time, but need to be physically present and accessible. Even the most experienced psychonaut can become overwhelmed at times during a psychedelic trip (especially when dealing with higher doses), and having the safeguard of another person is very important to help the tripper stay grounded and to prevent any harm.
