Up next, Psychedelics: The scientific renaissance of mind-altering drugs
► • Psychedelics: The scie...
A pattern emerges when you compare the harmfulness of different types of psychoactive drugs: alcohol and hard drugs like heroin and crack cocaine rank as the most harmful, while psychedelic substances like psilocybin and LSD score as the least harmful.
It’s perhaps not too surprising. After all, psychedelic substances are generally non-toxic and medically safe to consume. The drugs do not come with the same kind of overdose risks that substances like alcohol and heroin do.
Still, psychedelics can have profound effects on the psyche. Bad trips are a real phenomenon. But bad trips are sometimes the result of an interplay between the drugs and the user’s environment. As explained by Dr. Matthew W. Johnson, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins, the conditions under which someone experiences psychedelics can significantly influence the trip - for the worse or the better.

In all my many years, I've seen terrible harm done and lives destroyed by alcohol - but never one destroyed by mushrooms.
On IG
Go check him out. Really helped me out with my anxiety and depression issues. He is upright and he has good products 🍄🍫 check him out. saying cus i have done some therapy meetings with him and he has the best options
years ago one case in my country produced a lot of alarm, one guy take some mushrooms and he ended arrested by commiting double homicide by a psychotic attack under its effect.. he thought that the two persons who killed were demons.
Mine was last year, took them sold everything I owned for no reason, had 3 acre organic farm in boulder colorado.. long story but yeah they ruined my life completely
Depends on the person, honestly. IIRC, you have to be on the right mind to do psychedelic drugs.
Psilocybin flipped the off switch on my social anxiety like a light switch. It's effect lasted long enough that I thought it permanent. My anxiety and doubts and lack of self worth was gone. Anything that can make you love yourself should be legal.
Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.
I do respect and believe in psychedelics as treatment, yet I’m reluctant about using them personally. Not sure about how “good” it may do to someone
dr.martyshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
I find it funny if there's any psychedelic therapy there online
Psychedelics have the potential to make a significant impact on mental health issues like anxiety and depression. They've been incredibly helpful for me personally.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source.
dr.tonyshrooms is your guy. The best shrooms and psychedelics guy I know.
He's on instgram??
Yes
I had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great.
I did shrooms pretty quickly after their decriminalization here in Colorado, and oh man. It was hugely bittersweet, but it was a profound spiritual experience I needed to have. Ever since then, I feel love I think for the first time in my whole life, im so present and aware of myself and my boundaries and I take a lot less shit from life and from people. I no longer worry about things from my past, I feel like I restored a piece of myself that has been missing for a very long time. I absolutely advocate for veteran and autism mushroom therapy
Postscript; If you take a psychedelic and your world view and self image is starting to change drastically and indefinitely, just relax. Where do you think ancestral stories of mythical creatures came about? You aren't going crazy, only experiencing different degrees of mind you have always had and that have been estranged from you by a set of circumstances in the world, you will always be okay 💜
Look up 👆 that handle, man got you covered for shroom lsd and good psychedelic products he's a mycologist he also guide's on microdosing which is good for a clear mind
Hey, not sure if this is something you can answer, but how difficult is it to find them in Colorado?
@@untossablesalad4423 Shouldn't be too hard, generally it applies to the same way you find drug dealers, find alt people and find reasons to talk to them. You can order mushroom growkits aswell, however you'll have to grow them but they should be pretty easy
All PTSD needs to be taken as seriously as veteran PTSD. Most cases come from domestic abuse such as childhood abuse including among vets. When we section out vets we are excluding the majority of patients.
I am not spiritual at all, but after taking shrooms a few months ago I am much happier and am highly motivated, lost a ton of anxiousness, and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an entire ounce for backup, but haven't yet felt the need to take any more since then. It was fun and weird, then scary, then eye opening and beautiful.
I was over 500 pounds and on the back end of a two decade long depression when I tried LSD. The first dose saw me a completely different person the next day. I've lost over 300 pounds and truly love the man I have become. I have continued to take a high dose once or twice a year and have only continued to improve upon myself over the past decade.
Man I struggled to lose 30 pounds. You're incredible!
@@LazyboyRecliner I've put in the work, but I owe that self love and dedication to L. If I hadn't found had the experience I did I am convinced I would be dead by now. Congrats on busting out 30 pounds btw. Be proud of it.
@@AddledMindInc For sure man, I use it the same way for depression. I haven't had to dip into the medicine cabinet in over a year. Keep rocking, man🤙
I was at 550 at one point. I've lost a hundred and I ain't stopping. LSD changed my life. I realized I'd closed my heart and mind off from those around me. I've since opened up and realized I have so much life to live and this weight is holding me back.
@@AwakeInNaptown Fuck yes! Stick to it friend. So happy to hear someone else found that clarity.
Psychedelics dissolved 10years of my depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in 10 minutes for me.
When I opened my eyes I came back as a different me.
All trauma has been dissolved before my very eyes.
I understood what love and understanding truly meant and 9 months on, I've never experienced any of the depression and anxiety that plagued my existence beforehand.
I saw every path that everyone had ever taken and why.
It is the most profound experience of my life. Just my experience.
I realized too that psychedelics are also known to cause out of body experiences altered perception of time, ego dissolution, complete detachment from reality and entities at high doses.
Psychedelics shrooms tend to fix problems at their core, unlike modern medicine which tries to fix the symptoms. This is why psychedelics work great for depression and addiction.
How to research and locate them??
I can recommend you to Frierson Selman he is a genius.
I battled with depression, anxiety & C-PTSD. I do hear that shroom cures depression. Wish doctors could be more open to nature medicine over big pharmacy but we know why though.^
I have mostly been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
I have autism, I was diagnosed with it when I was 15. I tried shrooms and it made me function so much better.
Eek I’m autistic too and might wanna try mushrooms. How do I go about it?
Yeah doc.brenttt is your guide. Man is exceptional with anything psychedelics.
Hello Can he be reached on IG?
Yes doc.Brenttt
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxietyNot until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episodeenough to start working on my mental health
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Spain. Really need

shrooms and psychedelics guy I know
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not sadness. Psychedelic are the reason why I didn't take my life when I was at my end.i was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity
Last year, I took shrooms thinking it was going to hit like an edible or something. Shit was scary at first but amazing once you start getting deeper into your thoughts
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life..I became a better version of myself.
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and a bunch of bad thought/behaviour pattern were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands alot..it gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip. The main reason for the trip was my severe Depression and it definitely helped me. Before all I could do was lay in bed, now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.
Psychedelic’s have ways to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, but it’s just so hard to source here
I've been having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress..not until I met Myco_louiis.. he really helped me
Does he ship?How did it go? Is this person reliable? I want so bad to try it.
The key word when it comes to these substances is respect. Even though the risk of actual harm is very low, they should be treated with the respect they deserve, since psychedelics are powerful stuff. If one uses them without respect, it"s only a matter of time before they will teach you a harsh lesson. Used respectfully though, they are capable of a lot of good.
I always go in with no respect saying that it won’t affect me much just hoping to have a bad trip but never have even at 850ug, usually go out with my friend in public, mess around with npcs and have some really interesting conversations but all the bad trip stories i’ve been told so far are from some 40-60 year old reddit users

Yes, dr_Johnshrooms

As an academic in psychology, I can say that there's extensive research on the negative psychological effects of LSD. An example is that it can worsen a mental disorder when the person goes on a bad trip. I'm not against LSD. I just think that such important points need to be covered in this video as this could influence a lot of individuals. Cover both the good and the bad, especially the mental implications.
this comment should be fixed on the top.
Look up that handle 👆, man got good psychedelic products he's a mycologist he also guide's on microdosing which is good for a clear mind
As an LSD user I agree. Very bad to take if you have a mental disorder such as schizophrenia
Exactly! And some people develop HPPD
Dive
I think it needs to be emphasized that psychedelics aren’t “fun” if you’re using them to treat mental issues though. I took 4g of shrooms by myself for my first trip, horrifying experience that ended up also being extremely cathartic. They can be really beneficial, but if someone thinks they’re gonna blast off to have fun AND come out the other end cured if depression, I think they’ll have a bad time.

start shallow folks, 1-3g is plenty enough to test the waters, and don't go all-in immediately, you have a 3 hour window of efficacy to get to the level you're seeking
Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space. It’s wonderful and the fact they serve recreational use and health as well. Can’t say I don’t trip once in a while
Psilocybin trips happen to be some of the greatest experiences of my entire life.
Where did you get yours or which website I’ll really love to try it.

Psychedelics helped me deal with my addiction. Having suffered anxiety and depression as well. I must say taking them turned my life around. I started micro dosing and just in a couple days I noticed major changes in my stress levels, depression, and everything else. It's been really great. After battling with these for years, I was unaware that shrooms will save me.
I suffer from chronic PTSD and chronic depressed disorder and ADD. I need this in my life.
I'm happy for you. Psilocybin mushrooms saved me from 4 years of uncontrollable bad thoughts. After just a few dosages I realized mydepression and PTSD were completely gone. Imagine carrying heavy chains on your neck for almost half a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone.
I recommend you hit up 👉🏻mushmistt, he's very reliable and ship to any location he's got any shrooms strain you need and other psychedelics like LSD and DMT.

Just went on a 7 mile hike yesterday with my girlfriend and ate some mushrooms with her. We not only laughed together and appreciated the beauty of where we were, but talked about our relationship, work, family. Basically appreciating life, our relationships and how to be better. That’s my therapy. It really helps in the right place, with the right people, and the right dose.

Lsd, dmt and psilocybin containing mushrooms are amazing. I could remember several years ago, I was diagnosed with BPD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be used for treatment of related health challenges.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
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 Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.benshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind

I just tried MUSHROOMS for the first time. I felt as if i was in the center of the universe. I didn't go crazy after such an extreme experience. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.

YES, dr.perryshroom. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
It would be great to hear in more detail about your mystical experiences during meditation.
hm. Can dr.perryshroom dispatch to me in LA?
There's a saying in the psychedelic community that you don't always get what you want from psychedelics, but you always get what you need. The bad experiences are usually to do with unaddressed issues, beliefs or biases that a person has locked away in their psyche and in the right set and setting, psychedelics force that hand and open the locked door.
The majority of the time, the experience is breath-taking. There simply aren't words to accurately describe what the world is like on these compounds. They really are life-changing and life-affirming.
Sounds like my boys story of his trip and how he feels a whole nee person with mindset after that trip
Idk about that, I was in a very happy state of my life and I kept on thinking my friend have a bloody face... it was just random and I was not depressed or anything
This is spot on! I had a bad experience about something that happened in the past. Thoughts going over it over and over again, I’m starting to deal with it now so it doesn’t happen again
Its all about understanding that there is no such thing as a bad mushroomtrip, only true ones that makes you grow.
Very true! I was on an acid binge for awhile and then decided to go back, and do some mushrooms. Little did I know my acid use had for some reason effected my bodies relationship with mushrooms, and I had my first real "bad" trip. Wasn't even bad but I had a super heavy anxiety "elevator" feel. Tried making myself puke up everything I ate until I realized: Hey dumbass you're already high.. your body digested it already. Just ride it out and quit for awhile. Because of that trip.. I cut back on acid, and probably saved myself some trouble. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! I've done some doses of mda that shouldve killed me. I went deep in the party drugs, and I don't brag but I say it because it's not how you should use things of any kind really. Learned to appreciate the gift that is the high.. instead of just riding that shit like a wild beast. Watching friends leave their body enough times kinda makes ya wanna stop also... o.O
I thought after 3.5g of psilocybin that I had gone completely nuts and that my personality was gone, suddenly on the comedown, after a gloomy session of feeling broken down and effectively erased from existence, my self, my ego came rushing back as my brain seemed to reset. I wept like a child in thanks for the privilege to be me. What a gift life is, and I learned that profoundly while on a trip. That not only is life a gift, but *my* own life, is a treasure.
The above-named sells all kinds of psychedelics are stimulants like DMT, LSD, mushrooms, Xanax, golden teachers, chocolate bars and lots more
Meanwhile people spend decades in remote mountain monestaries to get rid of their ego.
@@MrCmon113 meanwhile some turn psychotic from psychedelics. And shooms will not make the difference that daily meditation does, is what i believe. Might give very strong long lasting beneficial effects though of course but there are more risks compared to meditation.
@@mccarthew I have to agree. While my mood improved profoundly over months after the trip, my reaction to most drugs also changed. But not really for the better. I no longer enjoy cannabis, for instance. I find I’m much more anxious when I take mood altering drugs. And I don’t have any plans to have shrooms again at anywhere near that dose. I strongly advocate for medical professionals to learn this substance and create evidence based treatment paths for it. I cannot recommend shrooms for recreational use. It was an extreme ride, that I do believe most people will be fine by the end, and I believe I was; but the experience was incredibly intense, and even eight months after the fact I still don’t know if it was entirely beneficial to have gone through it. The feeling of being completely mad really was unpleasant to experience.
But make no mistake: Psilocybin has a number of potential medical benefits.
I learned more about myself on one trip than I have through over a year of therapy.

I just had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great! I loved it.
Having just done my first trip yesterday on mushrooms, I can say it was proberly one of the top 5 things I've done in my 45 years of life. I went down to a river and sat on its banks with my brother and a good friend who's done it before and we had a SMALL dose and slowly increased it until it was enough for each of us.
Make sure you are in a place where you feel safe and in nature where no body is gonna interrupt your time.
Remind yourself you in control and everything is going to be OK.
Don't do the mother load and expect to handle it off the bat!
My mental clarity is tops in fact it's motivated me to do stuff in my life that I was confused and grappling with.
I feel I was lied to about this stuff my whole life and always thought if I did it I might just jump off a building Casue I though I could fly. Nothing could be further from the truth!
You had a positive experience because you controlled your dosages.
@@controllerbrain because he's 45 and wise
what would be a good small dose for first time
@@tea1097 I would proberly do half a gram and see how it feels then wait an hour or so and MAYBE take a tad more. Or just enjoy it as it is. The setting is far more important than the dosage I think.
@@ItzTwelve0Clock yeah totally get your point, maybe I was just luckily. I guess it about being able to trust your buddies and more importantly the source!
As someone who has had more bad trips (high anxiety; “thinking too much”) than “fun” trips, I still learned something each time. For me it was often a learning experience in which I learned about myself, about my own flaws that sober me avoided like the plague. Psychidelics showed me the true meaningless of my individual life, while simultaneously showing me the true beauty of life itself. Without mushrooms and LSD I don’t think I would have ever been interested in philosophy. It’s interesting when you look into the dark abyss and come out inspired by the light, by the universes insane ability to turn black space into living, breathing organisms.
100% aggre with that. it's never """ fun """", it's actually really serious stuff and yes, you can see hell and start to cry and feel bad. you learn about yourself and what's wrong in your life, what's good.
This too has been my experience. I backed off bcs of it and now ready to jump back in. It’s been always on my mind that if I could successfully do psychs without fear - I would have overcome a lot of my lifelong anxieties. Im 71 and very physically healthy. I think I can handle the rough spots and so far haven’t had many. Thanks for your story. Inspirational for me 😊🙏🏼
Mate just come back off a trip and this couldnt have resonated with me more
@@becauseitsthere2510dudes got his 3rd eye open
Same here. I did shrooms last night and thought I was gonna die but I focused on my breathing and got through it
Psychedelics is a tool in which the universe uses to connect with us, we understand without words
We listen without distractions,we agree without arguments.
A lot of people take shrooms and complain about bad trips but what one should understand is that one has to have a purpose for using it you can’t cheat the universe.
Psychedelics tend to fix problems at their core,unlike modern medicine which tries to fix the symptoms. This is why psychedelics work great for depression,addiction etc.
This days a lot of people are going through hard stuff, depression etc and I’ll really love to try some any source.?
I’ll recommend you to a store I got my psychedelics products.
[dr_xzavier]
I’ve been scared to try out something with my life and I’ve been on here for a while I’ll really love to trip. Is my first time tho
I took ayahuasca 6 months ago and I have been extremely unstable for the past 6 months. Please be aware at the places you go for psychedelic trips. It can be very powerful but also extremely painful if you do not know what you are expecting. Please try therapy, meditation, breathwork and do not go immediately for ayahuasca or psychedelics.
Exactly
set and setting, my friend. Set and setting.
I’ve had a wide variety of experience with psychedelics, the most intense ones with LSD, also good and bad. My last trip was on mushrooms and somehow I really understood how stupid and impulsive it was to grab that cigarette in that moment after smoking many during the trip. One month after that, I also stopped watching porn, stopped eating sweets, started going to the gym, stopped playing video games and basically changed my whole life. It was just that one thought about impulsivity that changed my life… It sounds really crazy to me when I think about it…

Mmmm for me nicotine definitely felt like a deal with a demon while tripping, but I still made the deal 😈
What was your shroom dosage?
I first tripped at age 15, but we ALWAYS had a straight guide. It was my turn, when a friend had a rough trip, but he/we got through it with no harm done. It’s just a matter of being a bit sensible, and you can enjoy some of the most wonderful experiences available.
i have no fear to say that porn is more dangerous than alcool
As a veteran with PTSD with extreme anxiety and depression. Mushrooms changed my attitude towards dependence on alcohol. Low doses of shrooms/molly actually helped me come to terms with my past traumas. I have nothing negative to say about mushrooms. Alcohol literally destroys people’s livelihoods and psychiatric meds just make you feel numb.
Exactly! Summed it up perfectly for me brother!
I’m glad you found peace. Psilocybin has never been anything less than a healing experience for me.
"There are very real dangers with psychedelics. But i'm not going to tell you what those are, do drugs have fun" pretty much what he said, horrible video lol

Are you a fan of Big Think? Check out bigthink.com for new articles every day!
There's a very good book titled, "The Cult Of Pharmacology" by Dr. Richard DeGrandpre. He's a PhD psychopharmacologist from Duke University, and I think he marketed the book in 2006. Moreover, the concept of "exteroceptive stimulus" and how it affects the brain is pretty complex. A bad trip can have lingering results that are not chemical in nature, even though chemicals are responsible for the sensation. It's a perceived trauma (like witnessing a murder at a young age). Young people hear only the benefits of Ayahuasca and ignore the fact that the trip can be so anxiogenic that the only way to escape it is to commit suicide! L/R
*The real reason it’s illegal:*
I’ve never seen someone who’s taken them, (acid or shrooms) and not realize how c*rrupt the government really is. It wakes you up, makes you look at life completely different. It can erase years, or even decades of brainwashing.
reverse that, less dangerous on the spot but long term effects? doesn't it dilates blood vessels? shouldn't it not give you low blood pressure in the future if you take it too oftenly? control over this might be something we have trouble with no? also if tolerance gets higher?
A channel that recommend LSD ?
I tought I have seen it all on youtube..
I've been a working paramedic for 16 years. Never once have I seen anyone harmed by mushrooms. Now for Alcohol and prescription drugs, I have taken people to the hospital for more times than I can count. Just my anecdotal experience.

Shrooms have helped me over come a terrible panic disorder and so many other things that I tend to push aside and not think about. I taught myself how to calm down during anxiety and panic attacks, how to be comfortable being by myself and why it’s so important to be comfortable by myself. The biggest lesson, “this too shall pass”. The trips can be a little scary, but I learned to be comfortable with the uncomfortable and wait for those moments to pass. I was comforted knowing this wouldn’t be my permanent state of mind. Now I do the same for my anxiety.
I love this! It’ll pass for sure
The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself.

My friend got a drug-indused psychosis from LSD and years after he still suffer from it. He has gotten various amount of psychiatric diagnosis like: HPPD (Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder), Panic Disorder and Depression. He was in a safe environment, around people he trusted and felt comfortable going into it. It only needed ONE bad trip to cause this to him. I think he suffered from this for 4 years now and it only now has gotten a bit better... There are risks that aren't always presented in the public; thus it cannot be added into statistics.
Just to put a perceptive to all the LSD and shroom users.
I’m curious. Was be an experienced tripper? Does his family have a history of psychotic disorders?
I've had at least a dozen horrifying trips and i'm perfectly fine, so are 99% of people who have bad trips.. sorry but your friend would've eventually gone into psychosis with or without psychedelics, he was predisposed for them.. clinical literature for this is very clear.
@@voltbf4379 This is false. Psychdelics can absolutely trigger conditions in some people who are vulnerable to it, that does not mean they would have developed the condition with or without psychdelics.
The research you're referring to only applies to people WITHOUT predispositions.
@@lunaaburas3279 The percentage of people with psychosis is constant regardless of psychedelic use in the population observed.
I have HPPD from mushrooms. It's not talked about (or studied) enough. It's been 8 months and I'm still dealing with mild visual distortions; thankfully not bad enough to interfere with my day-to-day or require treatment.
it took me 4 years of constant mushrooms trips, traveling while homeless, live music and acid to break the generational trauma that made my own sister and mother both kill themselves. I started to seek bad trips and once the bad trips stopped, it made me feel less inclined to doing mushrooms again
I had a couple friends back in the '70s that REALLY pushed the envelope, taking huge amounts of LSD.
When they were done with the long 'experiment' (for lack of a better term) one turned out pretty much normal, although much more quiet and reserved than he was before the journey.
But the other one is GONE.
He slowly wanders around the streets in his own world, just looking looking and not interacting with anybody.
Completely lost.

Psychedelics personally made my mental state way worse. It showed me how dire my situation really is and how I probably will never be able to escape it
I keep telling people that there are natural resources that works and don’t have side effects, I recommend you try out psychedelic mushroom, micro dosing psychedelic mushroom was the best decision I made to beat depression , not only ketamine makes you feel like a zombie with no emotions but other antidepressants that don’t work a bit, you should definitely try psychedelic mushroom, I had depression and anxiety but after treating myself with psychedelic mushroom I was more efficient in all I did , I’m in my 40’s and I’m breaking barriers, the stigma and access to it has been difficult for people that need it I get it from an online vendor that specializes in the trade of psychedelic products all natural from the earth and no side effects , everyone show start looking on the bright side of things that works and not feeding the never ending pockets of pharmaceutical companies
You can get it delivered to your location discreetly , psychedelics will give you what you want, your mind and body is your greatest asset treat it with love and respect, send your requests to the Instagram handle below to contact the vendor

I panicked on weed over 2 years ago and developed depersonalization derealization disorder from it. There are unseen consequences with these substances
Same but we can heal
Magic Mushrooms and LSD were always a good time for me. I loved tripping and staying up all night smoking weed and watching certain TV shows and movies. After tripping, I always felt so much happier and less anxious, for weeks. Even months. I have Bipolar Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and I never had a bad trip or issues. You really should have someone with you, and make sure you're in a decent mood before dosing. I always tripped hard with my significant other, and we always had an amazing time. I also found out that sex is more intense while tripping. Orgasms that are intense and long. We had ourselves a time on Mushrooms and Acid. I will always reflect fondly upon our trippy hippie phase.
The above-named sells all kinds of psychedelics are stimulants like DMT, LSD, mushrooms, Xanax, golden teachers, chocolate bars and lots more
Delta-9 on low dose while you screw your head mates is massive fun yeah.
Good for couples therapy.
I'm in my 60's and my friends and I tripped at rock concerts all the time when we were just teens. The shit was good and cheap. A buck / buck and a half a hit. Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa concerts on LSD. lol Awesome times.
I'm almost in literal tears reading this comment section, about the traumas people have overcome through the use of psylocibin or other psychadelics. I'm so overjoyed how so many of you have had such a positive experience in being able to move forward through life. I'm also very sad knowing how many people who could drastically benefit from these substances in their lives but wont try it, due to the stigmas our governments have placed on them.
Almost in tears? Lmfao get a grip
Are you literally crying and shaking rn
And then there are the people trying to sell drugs...
Taking LSD was one of the best and most therapeutic decisions I have ever made in my life.
I've had a lot of trauma happen throughout my childhood, both my parents nearly died in a motorcycle accident in 2011 which resulted in my mother having severe head trauma and mental illnesses such as clinical depression, psychosis, insomnia, mania, bipolar disorder, the list goes on.. quite literally at one point believing she was possessed by the devil, bare in mind I was 9 years old when this was happening. I still don't have a proper relationship with my mother and I haven't since I was 13 years old - I am now 19.
My entire direct family has been partially broken for nearly a decade from the aftermath of the crash.
My half brother also died 5 years ago which happened just as things were starting to improve with my mum.
Since then I've had a mixed was beautiful. It genuinely felt like all the anxiety, pain and trauma I had been through in my life was lifted from my shoulders. To this day I still believe it was more beneficial to my mental health then any therapy I have had to date. It felt like I was being enlightened and I had found the answer to life. Since then I have made a complete upheaval in positive changes to my life. Working out 3-5x a week nearly every week throughout 2022. I gained my confidence back and not once since taking my first tab have I genuinely contemplated suicide or felt depressed to the level I did throughout the years before acid. I achieved satisfactory grades in my end of year college exams and now I'm on a gap year, still exploring my options and I'm truly grateful to be relationship with my mental health but in December 2020 after an incident with a girl that put me in a spiral of depression and self guilt I nearly took my own life and I was still deeply suicidal and depressed until June 2021. After that period fortunately I was slowly getting better and in November 2021 i took my first tab of acid. The experience was beautiful. It genuinely felt like all the grades in my end of year college exams and now I'm on a gap year, still exploring my options and I'm truly grateful to be alive. I have also tripped 3 times since last year. Each time more potent than the other and all uniquely beneficial.
I understand that these ‘drugs' aren't for everyone, but when used correctly, the right ones, in my case psychedelics, have been extremely beneficial to my life. I am so glad to have discovered the positive side effects of psychedelics while I’m still young. Just thought I’d share my own experience with you.
Have a nice day :) 🪬
And yet they are illegal we all ask why
Very balanced and informed video. I think it’s right to say psychedelics have absolutely profound and promising benefits (I can say that from my own personal experience). But we cannot be ignorant to the negatives as well. As we see this renaissance of psychedelics, we have to create an environment of education before use. Regardless of if you’re using it to find yourself or just have a good time. Understanding these substances, and using them in a healthy manner should be paramount.
First ever experience with psychedelics was in college with a couple of my closest friends from childhood. Each dropped a 200µg LSD blotter in one of their parents' lakehouse while they were away for the weekend. One of the most magical experiences of my life. Aphex's 85-92 ambient works and Deep Forest playing throughout the entire house, plenty of space to mosey around and relax while enjoying the experience, brought tons of things to do and games to play (though we didn't get to many of them, haha!), surrounded by nature everywhere, just amazing in every aspect. I'll never forget all of us discussing what style of patterns we were seeing; I remember mine being distinctly Shipibo. Only downside is for a couple months following the experience, I had roughly 10-12 nights where I would wake with severe "sleep drunkenness". I would wake up in the middle of the night completely and utterly disoriented, no clue where I was, who I was, or what was going on. After 20 or 30 seconds my brain would kind of "zap" out of it and realize I was completely safe in my dorm, but pretty scary nonetheless. Just goes to show how powerful of an impact these substances have on your brain chemistry. They can precipitate states of deep understanding and compassion for the universe and the entities surrounding you, and can assist with truly transformative personal, inner growth. On the other hand they can also have very powerful, unintended effects too. All the more reason to dedicate funds to the research and elucidation of these incredible substances!
"There are very real dangers with psychedelics. But i'm not going to tell you what those are, do drugs have fun" pretty much what he said, horrible video lol
@@UnrealSicknesshe said we know what those risks are not they he wouldn’t say if you know your medical history and aren’t at risk of psychosis or serotonin syndrome and are in a controlled environment like with a therapist is what he was saying
this is great content! Definition of a trip on psychedelics. The medicine is allowing the self to tune in at a deeper level. What is happening is your experiencing life consciousness and your psyche. A bad trip is even simpler... this is you having gone into a dark part of your psyche, typically, the subconscious, the shadow (jung), a trauma response and you are experiencing how you've repressed it or coped with it over your life. the psychedelic has nothing to do with the acknowledgement of the what you are perceiving during the trip or in this case bad trip, what the psychedelic is doing is opening the spaces within one's neurology to explore what's there and it isn't always going to be pleasant. So yes, have someone sober, a facilitator of sorts that you trust immensely to guide you through rough times during the trip. I trip alone and it gets frightening in some instances but it's the psyche opening, being reflected to engage with one's own darkness
Psychedelic Therapist here, it saved my life in 2020. Have been helping people since then 🙌🏻
Thanks! :D
What is the benefit of these substances?
They free your mind from the limits it’s put on itself. Truly.
Just wait until it come back and bite you in the a*ss … my saved friend,
trading depression for psychosis?
Just keep in mind that any self medicated drug feel that way… for a while…
@@joseph-mariopelerin7028 That makes it even more important that we are researching more on the substances today. And it's also important to promote safe use with lower dosages, being in a safe space and with a safe person who can trip sit for you. Also doing exstensive research yourself beforehand not only about the substance you are going to ingest, but also your family history with diseases like psychosis or schizo to minimise risk. Science so far shows that following proper steps towards safer use lowers the risk of bad stuff happening significantly. However you are wise to mention that it can always come and bite you in the ass, if misused, of course.
It’s good to see at least they are honest about how terrible alcohol is… too bad it’s not stopping anyone from being an idiot.
Mushrooms literally saved my life nearly 2 decades ago. I was severely depressed and had been on a suicidal path for some time… until I tried some mushrooms with some good friends up in the mountains. Now to say it was a magical “poof! Yay I’m all better” would be a gross injustice to what really happened. They allowed me to face my demons, but from a different perspective. It gave me the ability to feel that pain, and accept it. Nearly 20 years later and I haven’t had a single thought of suicide since. I truly love life now, but I had to want it, or rather … I had to earn it back. There is no trick to any of this really, it’s just incredibly GOOD at helping an individual have a different frame of mind just long enough to snap themselves out of a deep loop of depression.
Why is sobriety so bad? People are always looking to escape.
Sobriety is awsome I love being sober but I also improve my life with occasionally taking psychedelics but I agree absolutely nothing wrong with sober days they are some of my best days I'd say I'm sober more days of the year than I am not..
Psychedelics is like extreme sobriety
@@sestriaxo5769 totally especially the cactus types
Taking psychedelics is like the opposite of escaping, it can force you to face your problems in life whether you want to or not.
@@Raff766 very true.... If they were a shortcut I'd be there by now
This video understates the dangers of the clinical use of psychedelics to treat mental health. The stories are only beginning to come out now about the difficulties some people experience after such treatments. The pro-psychedelic camp would serve themselves well by being more upfront about the potential risks and coming up with plans to prevent negative impacts of clinical psychedelic use and treatment of those negative impacts when they happen.
reading through these comments feels me with emotion. There is so much pain in our lives. So many of us just struggle with life. Its wonderful that some have found a way out their troubles. i wish everyone true happiness.
Kids are using shrooms without proper knowledge and going through psychosis and psychotic breaks. And experiencing paranoia, this is happening now in real time and if we’re gonna try to normalize this there’s a responsibility to get safety precautions out to kids
Well just know it's different for everyone, I did lsd and lost my mind ended up being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia just a few weeks after wards and fight a lifelong mental illness that never goes away with or without medication/or self medication
Definitely is, it ended giving me depression. I think it’s better to do it under assistance and therapy
Thank you for that. I am so scared of trying it. My mond always are going. I find church and God my happiness. I knew it had to be a negative impact on some. Thanks for being honest
I've done LSD and shrooms several times. I love to periodically do them. They sort of give you a mind-reset because you see things differently. Sometimes things don't make sense, the euphoria is unparalleled and visual distortions just make you appreciate a lot of things about how your mind works. I'm still going on well with my life and will definitely have so many more trips as long as I can.
So yes, I agree that they are freakishly safe because I have never had a similar experience with anything else; being sober or on something.
Peace everyone

Ketamine works amazingly on PTSD AND chronic pain and depression if you don’t have schizophrenia.

@@judgeberry6071 ahaha honestly. it's typical of people with self control issues to be so desperate for a quick fix rather than actually taking conscious action to resolve whatever their issues may be.
@@judgeberry6071 I mean LSD does actually not cause you any bodily harm, the only risks are psychological (having a "bad trip", can trigger schizophrenia in vulnerable persons etc.) And I think it's okay to just take them occasionally to have a nice experience too.
Once you’ve had an intense psychedelic experience, you realize how easily you can be stripped from reality. They can show beauty and meaning in life but if taken in the wrong setting or situation it can cause permanent psychological damage.
Look up this dude I got my stuff from him on instagram and telegram he ship to anywhere!!!!!!!!!!
Phamrafi5!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, why doesn't he talk about that!?
And of course there is another danger of people taking psychedelics without awareness of their perhaps latent psychological disorders which could have been passed from their relatives genetically which can result in exacerbation or activation of those disorders and could end up going full blown schizo after one trip, there are plenty cases of these things happening and in my own experience i had a bad trip on LSD my 2nd time on only 200ug and since then i feel like i've never fully came back the way i was before it and its been 8 years now, not to mention that first couple years were pure living hell. And just to make it clear im not against psychedelics i believe they have invaluable place in our psychological healthcare and exploring our own, heck even reality's true nature, but these things are incredibly powerful so have to be done in controlled environments and with full assessment of ones psychological state as well as disorders that may run in a family.
@@user-ov3qs1hn8k probably because that issue is so rare and requires an extraordinary intersection of issues that it's of no real clinical significance. Compared to, say, the dangers and side effects of prescription benzos (which are also highly habit forming)
I took shrooms the other day, had a bad trip but later realized that I everything bad I go through in the actual world does not matter. Healed me completely and made me fear nothing. I appreciated life more and felt more connected to my environment. I am now the happiest. It's like everything negative in my life hit me all at once during my trip.
Thank you for the very interesting video ! Allow me to comment in order to share my research (both internal and external) on psychedelics, specifically LSD. This comment is not intended to encourage their use, but rather to offer my positive experiences with psychedelics (though not without difficulties). Therefore, please think carefully before deciding to do so.
Initially, I began using LSD alone with the intent to disconnect from reality during weekends, to let my mind wander and to see various things. My first experience was quite interesting; I felt a beautiful sensation growing, as things around me began to distort. However, I soon encountered my "shadow"-my dark thoughts-and it was tremendously difficult to break free from them. I truly battled with myself (With my fears, my anxieties, my nightmares). Once the effects wore off, I was relieved it was over, but I also felt a sense of pride for having managed to confront my fears and push through by sheer mental strength! (I must emphasize that things can turn quite bad if you are in the wrong mindset).
I repeated the experience (possibly out of a mix of masochism and curiosity) and took the opportunity to try and capitalize more on the positive effects. I believe that it can create a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, allowing for very precise visualization of thoughts. My goal was to gain more self-confidence; I knew I could do it and was eager to maximize my life, to stop wasting time.
Consequently, I managed to idealize myself unconsciously and through this bridge, I projected this unconscious ideal onto my physical, conscious self! Succeeding in this allowed me to feel less alone, as if accompanied by this ideal that pushed me towards the right direction, helped make better decisions, and no longer fear my "shadow." It gave me the strength to sort through my thoughts, to make my "internal partitions transparent," thus fostering trust in myself through a better understanding of my "Self." This process, I believe, could be referred to as "individuation," as mentioned by Jung (even though I have simplified it somewhat regarding myself).
With a better grasp of the physical and psychological effects, I was able to further my experiments and gain insights into a multitude of aspects. It was during this period that I discovered Carl Jung, particularly his research and analysis of the human psyche. This opened my mind to a plethora of things, about myself and the world around me. Overall, this inner journey profoundly transformed me.
So, for me, the real risk of psilocybin (LSD, Mushrooms) is being overcome by one's thoughts, losing the connection between the conscious and the unconscious, and being overwhelmed by the fear of confronting one’s traumas. I am convinced that this substance can help many people, provided they have the will and have equipped themselves with the necessary tools to face this challenge. Therefore, you can probably guess what I think about those who want to try this just to have a "fun evening" with friends…
i tried shrooms the first time a few months ago and ended up doing shrooms 4 times in the one month. i've dealt with things like major depression, dissociation, anxiety, and bpd my whole life but for once i felt a semblance of happiness. the first times it changed my perspective and i felt like a better person, i cared more, i felt love, i appreciated the world around me and the things i had in life. on my fourth time, i had my first bad trip that traumatized me. a month later i was completely sober and physically relived the bad trip after discussing it for too long, the effects it can have on your psyche is scary. i developed panic attacks, my anxiety was severely worse, and i couldn't even hear the word shrooms without my chest tightening, my head spinning, and my stomach sinking. as a person whose always had a hard time identifying with themselves, experiencing ego death amongst the psychosis and paranoia and other crazy shit i was feeling on the bad trip, it was really difficult to ground myself to reality for a while afterwards. i do still struggle with feeling unreal. the only thing i can do is try to spin this positively, i am grateful i had a bad trip because now i understand the dangers and won't take it so irresponsibly, and having ego death might be a way for me to reset and take a look at myself from the outside and connect with myself.
I was you. Exactly 1 year and 6 months ago.... it takes time to heal. Everything you described I've experienced. After 6 months to a year, it will get way better and easier... falling asleep at night the worst? When your mind is running? I haven't gone a day in 18 months where I haven't thought about my bad trip.

@@robbieferrari2049 yes, much better. Even considering doing mushrooms again, soon.
I had a similar experience. Had 2 bad trips on acid, the second one being an 8 hour panic attack. Nothing bad happened after I calmed down but a few months after, I took something else and the comedown triggered another major panic attack.
Gotta fight every week against those for over 8 months now and can’t help but think the first trigger must’ve been the bad trip.
I share kind of the same story!!!
Psychosis isn't something I can afford to experience during this period of time in my life.
For real
It would be too much
Yeahhh no, I'm good.
So micro dose
Really tho… who can? Millennial that live in mom’s basement, or disable peoples that have nothing serious going on…
I’ve had bad trips on shrooms, I’ve definitely puked my guts out. And I totally agree that a sober/ maybe weed smoker friend is an amazing experience. I also suggest making sure you eat well before hand and have plenty of water to sip on. Personally I like taking them in the morning or afternoon, something about it being dark outside gets to me a little but I also prefer to be outside on them. Personally I like seeing all of what the world has to offer and even just birds flying can be a beautiful sight.
I never take them to make a bad mood better or take them if there is tension with someone. Personally I like to Lemmon tek my mushrooms it definitely helps to pull the magic out of the mushrooms speeds up the waiting time, hits a little harder and ends a little faster for me. I like it, even tho the bad trip can be a bummer, it’s still a good experience.
+1 for eating well beforehand--I ate poorly before my last trip and had a real bad time on the toilet lmao.
Lsd ruined my life as it currently stands, I was forced to see my whole life from a grand scale, I realised how little people in my life I've impacted and how alone I truly was, I realised how much I disliked myself and where I was in life, I realised how meaningless all of my hobbies were, I realised just how meaningless most things in life in general are and how my dreams were mostly just dreams and unobtainable for 99% of people so who am I tk think I'm the one, I've never recovered
@@BagaskoroDastagir what
@@goodguybrian9764yup
I feel this, had a dark shrooms trip last summer and was confronted with similar feelings of meaninglessness and existential dread. It's been a long process but I've gradually built back from that, but boy did it feel like getting knocked down into total darkness.
This kind of experience deserves more awareness, in my opinion that's where the actual danger of these substances lies. Comparing the physical effects of drugs is disingenuous because the danger of lsd/shrooms comes from facing something you're better off not confronting. Some stones being better left unturned and all that, since not everyone has the time and energy to build back from such a heavy experience.
Also, the feeling of "dreams were mostly just dreams and unobtainable for 99% of people so who am I to think I'm the one" is something I felt EXACTLY. As if pursuing my goals and passions was just pretentious, pointless and pathetic.
I've worked through that since and I hope you've been able to make progress there as well
A hit of dmt will put that ego in check!

A friend of my friend died because he fell off his balcony while on mushrooms. I think the message is that you just need to be careful of your surroundings with any mind altering substance and follow the same rules as with alcohol.
I can guarantee you that would NEVER happen on LSD. Sure shrooms can cause some delrium. I personally don't fancy them for that specific reason. But one substances faults don't increase another's.
I’ve experienced that feeling to on shrooms, I was on my third floor balcony looking over thinking I could jump down, it wasn’t that far and I had full confidence it wasn’t a problem. Luckily I didn’t try it but remember that memory of the confidence and complete lack of consequences.
Tbh i used to be like the fake beard guy in the video rattling off the benefits of psychedelics, over the years tbh I haven't seen anyone get permanently better from psychs but i've seen a couple people cook themselves. The 'fake breakthrough' shit is dangerous and misleading imo. These days I would say if you're looking for something "an answer" don't do em, just do it for a different experience.

@@StickHits Wait till you're in your 30s and take a look at all your heavy psych using friends
I'm 37, I went my whole life without trying drugs other than prescriptions for my PTSD from combat. A few months ago, I tried psilocybin. It was only 1 gram, but I didn't heed my friend's advice to be in the 'right state of mind' beforehand. What proceeded after that was a waking nightmare that lasted 6 hours but felt like 6 days. I hadn't eaten beforehand, so my stomach hurt really bad and it amplified that pain tenfold plus induced the worst anxiety attack I've ever had. I was literally screaming for it to stop, I considered suicide at one point and took a handful of sleep meds to try and sleep through it but they didn't work. After 3 days of not eating and only sleeping 2 hours and waking with panic attacks, I went to the ER and got treatment. It took 2 whole weeks before I had mostly recovered. I can see how it could help people in a controlled supervised setting, but I'm never touching that shit again and I definitely understand why it probably should be illegal, although I'm against criminalizing things that people can take if they understand the risks and are responsible about it.
It sounds like you had a bad trip. But it is important to be relaxed beforehand and don't eat shrooms on an empty stomach, just like it's not a good idea to drink on an empty stomach etc. When I tried them many years ago I put them on a pizza lol. Your body and mind has to be relaxed and in a safe space, to avoid panic because this is a mind trip, so things do get weird.
I want to do this, but where to get magic mushrooms or psychedelic products.. Any idea of someone who sells and delivers?
Wow haven't try some psychedelic products before??

I made the horrible mistake of mixing LSD and THC - that specific combination for me makes moments feel like an eternity, unable to comprehend basic concepts - let alone telling the difference between death and sleep, and alters what 'voice' in my head I listen to. Basically the intrusive thoughts take over and I was staring at a wall thinking I was dead at best OR realizing I was actively TRYING to put myself into what I can only describe as psychosis-induced zen at worst. When my friend would try and calm me down and explain I was just tripping balls, my mind would 'reset' moments later making me forget what just happened and I would think I am once again dead or continue to stare at the wall - and at the worst point I was screaming/chanting the same word over and over again. I remember telling myself at one point 'yo say something sane stop staring at the wall doing nothing/shouting or your friend might get an ambulance called and send you to a psych ward.' Then I would pass out, probably because I was tired from the THC. Rinse and repeat a few times. Thankfully my friend saw a lesser version of that before with me when I made the exact same mistake years ago so they didn't freak out and just let me do my thing. During my sleep I would see a fractal shape that would try and complete itself, and I assumed this was the death point once it completed - like the fractal being completed is the mind reaching the final resting moment and eternal peace at last - and there was like... a rumbling sound too? It got louder as the fractal completed itself. Anyway, no, did NOT actually die - just fell asleep. The 'death point' was just me entering deep sleep probably. But for an eternity, I stared into the void, allowed it to stare back at me. I let the void pass through me and over me and beyond me. I listened to what the void had to say. It told me death is calm and relaxing. It is apart of our experience. Definitely came to terms with death from it but man that was a traumatic ass experience. I look forward to experiencing eternal calm. But not anytime soon. That can wait. I'll have the rest of eternity to enjoy that. Don't mix THC and LSD and fall asleep unless you want to meet your god. I saw nothing.
The black is the “in between” it is not the final destination of our awareness.
I have very similar experience from cannabis. I had smoked it like 10 times, and before there weren't bad trips. But the last time fucked me up. I lost feeling of time - it felt like time does not exist. I had strong delusions and hallucinations all types. I was in this state for around 4 hours till my roommate put me in bed. But it felt like eternity (it is paradox, but it felt very long). Now 15 years later i am having flashbacks about it, once or twice a year and it is worst experience in my life. Do not wish that on my enemy.
reading this and relating to every feeling, idk if it was the dope but it’s like being on deaths door but not sad about it, just acceptance
I feel like I gotta smoke when I take shrooms or acid
@@abgocrazy5062 yh but i feel asif we dont realise the affects or reaction mixing thc with other phycs do
My worst horrortrip (first part, until I was ready to die)
and at the same time most beautiful mystical trip (second part) changed my life for the better.
I am much more open, more able and courageous to listen to my heart, and can see life, death and suffering from a different point of view.
Also quit smoking weed after that trip.
I went through very hard times in my life (years after this trip and not because of it).
Remembering this one experience and the wisdom helped me very much to go through, to be honest to myself, to trust life and to accept and be at peace with what can't be changed.
It also cured a part of my fear of death.
Maybe I was lucky, but the potential is there for everyone.

I am high functioning autistic, only figured this out at age 44 in 2005. Prior to that, I was a lost soul, placed on the wrong planet. Had a horrible childhood growing up in row house Philly in the late 60's / early '70's, everybody hated me, from my own parents to other kids to teachers, etc.
My first solace in life was being taken to see The Grateful Dead in high school by older siblings of a rare friend. I subsequently smoked weed & then tried LSD. Some of my 1st trips were profound & difficult, but I started to realize, the problem wasn't the world, it was my interface with it, & that I had profound stockholm syndrome with my relationship w/my parents, both of whom were dysfunctional & probably mentally ill.
It wasn't until I ran away from home at age 17, was able to go to college & get degrees / licenses in engineering, go on to my own successful career, all the time whilst going to Grateful Dead (& other psychedelic band) concerts & using LSD & Shrooms, that I righted my own ship enough to live a fairly normal life in society.
It has only been since my discovery of my HFA condition nearly 2 decades ago, & the increasing awareness of therapeutic use of psychedelics, that I've slowly realized I was actually performing therapy on myself, & the psychedelics were actually helping me cope with the world, at the same time I was having a kick ass time lol.
I did shrooms multiple times and the anxiety that I experienced during every single trip was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I’m aware that your trip depends on your mood and environment and each time I was in a good mood and comfortable environment, It was so overwhelming that I really felt like my life was over, it was honestly horrifying and it has had lasting effects on my life. However my experiences with lsd have been the complete opposite. I believe that some people just can’t handle psilocybin.
Psychedelic are just an amazing discovery. Is quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress disorder. Really saved my life.
I really get what you're saying. I tried shrooms first and went bad most times. Had LSD 6 times in my life and it was always awesome. I trippled dropped it once and thought I'd be in trouble but it was like a dmt trip that lasted hours. It was beautiful.
The first time i had mushrooms it was great, next time was bad anxiety. I would try one more time though.
Theres a psilocybin containing mushroom species known as natalensis which doesn't induce anxiety. I know what you mean though. That's why i find them anti-addictive and difficult to dose
God I feel this. Every trip that turns bad is me in awe at how amazing everything is until it becomes TOO amazing and it all gets mushy, song lyrics turn sinister and the world turns against you.
I want to try LSD but I've always been scared I'd just get this same effect!
guy didn't mention a single risk except for having a bad trip but didn't mention anything about what happens with one. I feel like not mentioning the risk of HPPD is a pretty large oversight because it's not too rare and can be life-altering for a very small percentage.
This guy is part of a big psychedelic research group at John's Hopkins, he went to Joe Rogan's show once and even suggested that the hallucinations with elves could be "real". The leader of this group is also kind of sympathetic to mysticism. He went to Sam Harris podcast once, and when Sam mentioned possible bad side effects of these drugs, he downplayed it, just as the guy on the video did.
@@blobblob3830 yeah not a fan of that shit, its really hard to find the negatives and risks of psychedelics and I wish these people were more clear about it.
It's not too rare but also only a small percentage are at risk, which is it? Stupid people should realize they are in fact stupid.
Tbh and this is just me personally or maybe I don’t have HPPD effects at all
But I feel like it’s just a mind thing broski that hppd messes with you
But who knows I say just enjoy it
hey wouldn’t Love it to trip again of nothing 😏
Personally I'm a huge fan of psychedelic drugs. I don't do them very often, maybe once or twice a year but it's always an incredible experience for me.
I usually take psilocybin, lay down in bed, in the dark with headphones on and just zone out for a couple of hours. Listen to the incredible sounds that are coming into my ears and the mind boggling geometry flowing through my mind.
I Bought some psychedelic products from a drugstore online

I see only positive experiences shared and I feel I need to share mine which unfortunately didn't go well.
3 years ago, I was taking LSD once in a while (never big portions) and having fun, I had still some moments during the trips when I felt a bit bad with the fear of being crazy, but I thought it was just some little bad trips. The last time I took lsd, the effects didn't go away, I was trapped in my mind, slowly getting crazy, after almost a week of being high, I was transferred to a psychiatric hospital where I stayed 3 months. 3 years later, I'm still struggling with PTSD due to this experience. Psychosis due to psychedelics is a real thing. There are incredible benefits from them and could change people's lives in a good way but we have to be aware of the risks. There are not for everyone, so if you feel something is really off when you take them, listen to your body and avoid this drug.
I had a mushroom journey in 2019 and it was the most beautiful experience of my life. My mental health improved, my eating disorder remarkably disappeared.
I went in again a year later to share the experience with my sister. Two months after that I decided to try microdosing and my brain literally began melting on the third day. I mean seizures, constant internal head tremors, severe distortions of perceptions and total loss of sleep (I did not sleep at all for months and not more than a couple hours for 2 years after that). No doctor could figure out what was happening to me exactly thinking I had encaphilitis. This hell continued for 1.5 years and I attempted to end my life multiple times ending up in a long coma.
My brain began to heal about 6 months ago but I still live with some of the symptoms.
I am not the only one, it is so rare but there are a couple others like me who ended up with smilar severe conditions following psychdelics but nobody stumbles upon these niche forums until it is too late.
I decided to comment here because in the video Matthew states that any negative impacts are 'known', forgetting that we are dealing with substances that we still understand so little about, particularly in relation to the intricate complexities of the human brain. I understand why people who have had amazing healing experiences like I did first would want to protect this idea but we must remain aware that individual responses can vary greatly, and there are risks and consequences that have yet to be fully comprehended.
How long you'd been microdosing?
A microdose shouldn't do anything noticeable. Where did you source them? Did you purchase capsules?
I did a psilocybin trip once. I managed to save a guy about to fall back down 10 feet of stairs. I was OK until I went to bed. Major demons greeted me once I closed my eyes. They were ugly but, the troubling aspect was that I knew without a doubt that they came from me. Two weeks of nausea followed until the memory had faded sufficiently. You make up your own mind on this, just sharing my first and last experience.
How many grams did you do? Too much? First time I drank alcohol, I drank too much and got sick. Does that mean alcohol is bad and I should never drink again? No. Moderation and know personal tolerance level.
Will never forget my first experience. Was the most beautiful and loving thing I have ever experienced. Remember saying "thank you" to whatever entity was there with me. I was able to cripple out that dark hole I was in at that time thanks to that experience. Really are magic. Made me see things that were always there but I was too blind to see.
I started Micro-dosing for depression and anxiety, but while only in a safe environment. It has helped me a great deal control my panic attacks. :) This video helped convinced to try this healing method. I do only 2-3 times a week when I have nothing else planned. I have no hallucinations yet.
I tripped out on WAY too much weed in 2006 and did everything wrong with set and setting, plus I had OCD. I had no sober guide. I went absolutely crazy and ended up in the hospital. Then I got depersonalization disorder. It _really_ fucked me up. I almost committed suicide from sheer terror in the next few months.
I still would have completely recovered in about five years if my - former - doctor hooked me on narcotics in 2007. Here I am in 2023, still dependent on narcotics, with an undigested psychedelic trip lodged in my mind, having had hundreds of panic attacks. But it was the reckless overprescription of narcotics by a lazy and incompetent doctor that did most of the damage and has so far prevented me from processing that trip. Thanks, doc. Asshole. Got his ass in a lot of trouble with our medical board, at least.
The irony is that psychedelics have since helped me to recover somewhat from all that trauma. Just be careful, everyone, and you'll be fine.
A couple years ago now I was really into the phycodelic world. I tripped on acid a few times and took an insane amount of mushrooms a couple times. I also smoked dmt a few times to. Since then I have not fealt the same, in good ways and very bad ways. I feel like I can’t even finish a sentence now without tripping over my words which really effects my self confidence.
Yeesh, these bots are everywhere.
This happened to me , along with a really bad headache one trip. Felt like my head was split open. Gotta take a break from it especially those really high dosages.
Love to see real data being collected on these wonderful compounds. They're very profound and nothing really will ever compare to the eye opening revelations you can have with these substances. I hope one day these things are as legal and available as Advil. The world needs more of it.
Trippy shits are very much available in 👆👆👆 Gives high quality & adequate dosage guidelines, he's an expert in that field
Psychedelics for me was a huge religious and spiritual changing point of my life and it really helped me see everything from a different perspective. Those experiences will always stay with me and I truly believe there is a huge amount of good potential with Psychedelic use.

The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results first shrooms trip was really awesome, it felt like i was deep into the sea
Magic mushrooms don't only help with mental health, they help amplify your empathy, if people were more empathetic the world would be a better place

I feel the need to put awareness out there. Yes, in most cases shrooms are way safer than pretty much every other drug/alcohol. My brother went to rehab this last year and was diagnosed with ‘drug induced psychosis.’ He had lost touch with reality. It felt like my brother wasn’t there. It was awful. In some cases, this happens. So always be weary of drugs and consult doctors/professionals to prevent risk.

I empathize with you. My family member had cannabis induced psychosis that manifested into schizophrenia in 2017. I’ve been looking for him ever since (figuratively).
The doctor is making light of the reality of these powerful drugs
Psilocybin - helped me.
Important to have someone, that you know cares about you, to stay with you, quietly interacting - for the 4 to 6 hours.
microdosing psilocybin caused me to develop autistic-level sensitivity. I get really angry to the point of meltdown over smells and sounds, and textures. I never used to be like that. --- Everyone says it's so healing. It has not been for me.
I've been afraid by the lysergid acid but when i was feel better, I did that. It was the best experience in my life to reconnect to myself and each other, I can't believe this drug isn't more use in psychedelic trouble like depression with or without association with antidepressant ..
Had a buddy in high school that was into all kinds of psychedelia.. lsd, shrooms, dxm, dmt, sativa.. we'd try to get our hands on something for a fun weekend "trip"... he already had his own apartment at 18 after dropping out of high school which allowed unchecked drug use.... dropping out is bad but it isnt THAT bad- as he eventually got a GED and worked some menial jobs... the REAL problem was that high LSD use at a young age seemingly triggered some kind of dormant schizophrenia. he struggled 9 years to remain on earth till early one morning, possibly on the come down from something or in some other depressive state, jumped in front of a semi truck on a nearby interstate. its now been almost another 9 years since his departure. This may seem dark but he had a favorite quote from his fav film 'fear and loathing' - "too weird to live, too rare to die." i dont think either line really apply but he wouldve loved to have it on his gravestone im sure lol. rip buddy, till we meet again on the astral plane.
Thank you for the sane, truthful report.
“Im not encouraging it” also “how can we use it more?”
Mushrooms have shown me that you can set your soul free. First I felt like shit but after a few hours I felt a huge psychological and physical cleanse. I felt the presence of God, the universe and seen that there is more in this world than we can see. After this experience I've started to see people more as souls rather than physical beings. Everybody has a purpose. I've thanked God for this experience.
I experience almost same♥️
That’s why they are illegal they are a threat to our society from the government during the 60s when the psychedelic and hippy wave hit the youth were being told to tune in and drop out and it was a threat to Nixon and most importantly the Vietnam war which is why he started the war on drugs ever since.
@Bryson Martinez I have not found any real LSD in British Columbia since 1990
( I'm sure missing those cleansing experiences)
15 hits Mr natural blotter was like a Jimmy Hendrix album cover with all the arms
Felt great for a whole month
I feel like i have fried my mind with psychedelics 😔
Or maybe i just realized how low i am.
But I’m definitely struggling way more than I remember i did.
Part of me thought it was a part of growing up, but i started to notice my memory was dog shit, and my imagination was driving me crazy.
I hear pointers towards a deeper experience to life from very educated people like drs, physicists and various other highly respected individuals.
That gives me hope but still, i can only imagine how people that have fallen worse than me have to deal with.
I mostly feel like I am crazy for being at ease, kinda like my system only wants to be in fight or flight mode.
Finding help has been difficult to say the least but, you can get better.
Sorry to hear that man, I hope you heal with time fr 🙏
You're not alone Robin. Sometimes i feel psychedelics actually encouraged anxiety and depression for me or maybe it opened my mind to problems that were already there.
Was it chronic use? A one time large dose?
I have a lot of questions, but would like to try to help you. Maybe if you are willing to share some more information about your situation, we can try to put some things in perspective. Sometimes it helps....
Wich psychedelics are you referring to?
Did you take them with a specific reason?
How much did you take (dosage)?
How many times have you taken them and in what timespan?
In what settings have you taken them?
How long has it been since you've taken them for the last time?
Also, can you tell little about your life? A little background information about your History, family, friends, relationships, goals, dreams, difficulties, challenges, things you like about yourself, things you would like less about yourself etc etc.. would be helpfull....
Hope to hear from you!
Everyone everywhere is always in fight or flight mode just to stupid to realize it till it's too late .
Several types of research has proven psychedelics as a beneficial substance in terms
Of medical use.

I've tried a low dose a few months ago. I had so much nervous, bordering on anxiety, energy. It was not fun. I really wanted it to be a positive or at least a growth experience. I think my issue is that I already have excessive serotonin and this makes that worse.
Are there any studies of the effects of psychedelics on higher mental function, particularly in generating ideas and perhaps doing higher level mathematics? I am in a situation where my livelihood depends on those sorts of things. I would like to try the psychedelics for depression, but hesitate to until I understand these effects better.
Everyone who reads this and is thinking about buying shrooms online: DO NOT. Every single account claiming to sell shrooms is a scam account and will take your money. Only buy from someone you or a close friend trusts.
"The danger lies not with taking too much, but taking too little. Because if you take too little, then you can fight it. "

Terence himself stopped taking high doses after a "trip" that disturbed him deeply. With a low dose the reflex to grip and hold on is not activated.

After reading Michael Pollan’s How To Change Your Mind, my view and understanding on psychedelics has vastly changed. We need to explore treatments of addictions, anxiety, depression, OCD and so much more with things like psilocybin.
