People that have done psychedelics have been saying this for decades. It shouldn’t require millions of dollars to prove these effective. The government & pharma industry need to get out of the way. It also shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to partake in psychedelic assisted therapy. Regardless, thank you guys for spreading the message.

[@AllanDavisArt]

Just posted a similar comment. People have known this since the 70s yet these scientists and the government know better! It's all for you protection as they wouldn't want you to harm yourself! That's why legalise alcohol & nicotine so you can slowly kill yourself. Alcohol is one of the most pernicious and damaging drugs out there, yet you can walk into any shop and get the stuff. But you're not allowed to take one trip of mushrooms or lsd and have one of the most profound experiences you'll have in your lifetime with the potential to lead to the cessation of these government controlled substances - along with pharmaceutical drugs. We know psychedelics are extremely low on the addiction chart yet they're still classed as a schedule 1 drug.

[@amyk.budzinski6303]

Andrew Huberman- IT'S ABOUT TIME!! haha ;) I've been listening to you since the start of your podcast. I'm so glad to hear you're finding balance in your psyche via psychedelics. As a therapist myself, I see many high-achievers get to where they are because of a traumatic past; a sort of "flip the script" or "reverse the curse." The degree to which they achieve is of equal, b;ut opposite, order of magnitude congruent to their trauma. At some point, they reach a personal vertex only to realize they're still not happy. The use of psychedelics allows a type of "centering" that anchors people to their own calm middle ground; a place between what we perceive as our psychological extremes. We don't have to exist in a "0 or 180 degree" state; we can exist at 90 degrees, while also knowing we'll always have access to all degrees between 0-180 if we consciously choose to use those parts. With further growth, we realize we have access to 360 degrees of consciousness in our psyche, and then the dimensions expand from 2D to 3D; and we see ALL of ourselves within the context of our interpersonal relationship dynamics. I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOUR GROWTH!!!!

Now I realize that actually these visionary plants have the potential to heal a lot of what was under so many of our alcohol addiction in the first place; trauma, anxiety, depression... So yea, the recent data helped me change my mind. And so a few months ago, at 13 years sober from alcohol, I went to Peru and drank ayahuasca for the first time. And honestly I don't think it would have been possible to heal and evolve in the way that I have from ayahuasca with any other healing modality. There's something deeply profound, beyond words, to experience what seems like existing as consciousness traveling through dimensions without a body, mind, personality, identity... and then come back. It really puts everything in a new perspective and has left me feeling very empowered.

[@oaschbeidl]

I truly appreciate the changing conversation around psychedelics and I am grateful for anyone who keeps doing the important pioneer work to show people their true nature and potential. That said, a few things that were said in this talk don't sit quite right with me. Thanking the people who pushed for legal research, etc. is very much warranted and important. But imo it's just as important to thank the people who've risked their freedom and in some cases even their lives to bring these substances to the people while a large portion of the population condemned them due to their own misconceptions. We also have to thank the people who truly pioneered the research throughout the past century, both legally and illegaly. Those who weren't afraid to stand by their experiences and beliefs in the face of massive negative propaganda. The emphasis on only taking these compounds with licensed medical personell, while aiming at harm reduction and safe use, which is commendable, doesn't do reality justice. I've had massively therapeutic, transformative experience with psychedelics with some good friends out in nature and to me that is still one of the best possible settings one could wish for. Of course not everyone is lucky enough to have friends they can be 100% themselves and vulnerable around and I get that even today being very careful about how you communicate your stance around this topic is important, but I couldn't let that stand on its own.

[@1samm1]

I think the emphasis of using these as medicines in a professionally regulated environment comes from caution. Caution not to awaken the fear of the powers that be (corporations, government, inherent human conservativism "it's always been classified as dangerous for as long as I and my parents remember so it must be dangerous"). It needs to be a step by step process, starting with proven, publicly repeated over and over again therapeutic successes until it can start to become truly socially acceptable. This is to avoid another big crackdown Nixon style.

[@Bart77377]

Nicely put, I agree very much. One thought I had, reading your comment: could it be, that even in this phase that we're in, concerning psychedelics and for the sake of creating public support, it would be wise NOT to overstate the recreational use but rather the therapeutic use first? I mean, coming from condemnation and labelling, maybe the contrast to openly advocating for recreational use might just be one step too far, imho. Again, don't get me wrong, I 100% relate to your experience, I have had the great fortune of having the greatest experiences myself also with like-minded friends on both MDMA and psilocybin and unless contra-indicated for medical or psychiatric reasons, I would in fact recommend anyone to also have these experiences outside of a controlled, "therapeutic" setting, because imho, these compounds bear in themselves the therapeutic qualities already 🙏

What is it that wants or hopes for a better life? It may be that what wants or hopes or fears is the thing that dies during deep psychedelic inquiry. Then the grasping or striving or searching ends and nourishment comes without effort...without one even knowing. ❤

[@sandrag8656]

Thanks to both of you for making this more known. The used dosage (equals about 3g dried psilocybe cubensis) is not yet heroic dose, but high enough to push trough most of defense mechanisms. Psilocybin has helped me a LOT, especially those higher dose introsprect trips, and also low dose nature trips. (Also had a so called "horrortrip" because I wasn't able to let go... so it's not allway fun) Hopefully Psilocybin assisted therapy will be No.1 treatment for depression.🙏 Can safe many lifes.

For harm reduction sake you should probably update that conversion you did from psilocybin to dried mushrooms - it is wildly inaccurate. In general, cubensis potency is 1% active alkaloids per gram, but can be higher than 2%. So a closer estimate of 25mg psilocybin is 2.5 grams dried cubensis- which is not a heroic dose. It is the high end of a normal dose. Also this calculation is just for cubensis, pan cyans potency is way higher. Whatever you do, do not take 5 grams thinking it is a solid estimate for 25mg of psilocybin. It is not. It could be more than double the intended dosage. Negative side effects increase after 30mg, with little increase in beneficial effects.

[@janesimpson8590]

having a physician administer psychedelics does not instill confidence for me. Physicians quickly and easily jumped on the bandwagon of anti-depressants and off-label use of anti-psychotics. Psychedelics are far less dangerous than psychopharmalogical drugs, but still, physicians have not proven that they are competent in this arena. Careful self work and community support seems beneficial. Some of the people in MAPS have been identified as engaging in sexual misconduct with clients and the organization has not responded fully. Much more humility is necessary with this type of work. Commodification of everything is not going to save us.

[@rootkite]

Very well put. Compass Pathways and similar businesses really worry me, as do misconduct risks. But I believe the medicine itself will help to calibrate the politics, guidelines, and laws surrounding its accessibility and management; lots of people will start to change for the better very quickly (hopefully with minimal suffering on the part of those who will inevitably have misfortune with tripping). Issues such as indigenous rights and diversity in the field in general also have to be (and partly are being) addressed right now, simultaneously with the rest of psychedelic research and the development of psychonautism and psychology in tandem (and along with so many other sciences and disciplines, not to mention art and culture).

I said f*CK you depression! So I fought and got up of bed, went outside and the night was beautiful, I realized I was waisting time with negative thoughts. After that my reality completely changed.

@1:00 can we address how this is an issue for not just psychedelics but with anything "edgy". Why should someone lose their career for having alternative opinions to the status quo? I think our institutions and society at large has failed if we can't explore uncharted waters. Sticking to that metaphor, had humanity never explored literal uncharted waters, we would never be the global and united (mostly) species that we are now. I find most people's capacity for seeing the big perspective is really really limited, and then those same people make laws which holds back the entire human race just because their thinking hasn't caught up yet. Not to sound overdramatic, but I can't think of a worse crime against humanity than that, and I would be willing to remove those people who stand in the way of progress by any means necessary.

Whst dose ?

[@anotherjewishsharpnicholas9425]

@@davidboyle1193 Ok. I'm going to start a channel at some point, under a different name, but I can go over it a bit here. The way I see it there are three different levels of microdosing psilocybin. There is the level where it isn't perceptible, which would be .1 to .15 (all in grams). There is the level where you can tell but it won't be highly altering, which is .2 to .35. There is above that where it's about more of an experience, but not full on like heroic doses, which would be around .4 to .8. As far as where you choose within these ranges, it's about your tolerance, and that will go up and down very quickly. So, as an example, if you are doing level two, maybe you start with .2 on day one, and by day four in a row you do .3. It's important to understand with microdosing small amount changes are a big deal. What I just mentioned is a 50% raise. I personally think level two is where you need to be for really big physical effects, and that's why the few studies into microdosing haven't been successful here yet (they demand imperceptibility so as to conduct double-blind placebo studies). I, also, am a very strong believer in only doing it about half the days, and remember after days off your tolerance is going to go way down.
