  • Can magic mushrooms cure depression? Over two years, we follow the first ever medical trial of psilocybin (the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms) being used to treat a group of volunteers suffering from clinical depression.
    With deeply moving footage of the ‘trips’ the patients go on, as well as interviews providing scientific and political context, this intimate film is an absorbing portrait of the human cost of depression, and the inspirational people contributing to ground-breaking psychedelic research.

    Psilocybin mushrooms have definitely had a positive impact on my mental health. They've been really helpful for me in dealing with anxiety and depression.

    I lived in a hell my whole life. Since a child I hated my existence. I had a mental breakdown in my teens. I treated this with alcohol for 35 years until the addiction tore me apart. I am sober now for three years, but that left an open wound that I would have to face. I always thought if I could beat my addiction I would be happy. Little did I know the nightmare was just beginning. A year and a half I was a zombie. I was lost in my own mind. I couldn't explain to anyone what I was going through. I was in a fire that wouldn't stop. Upon repairing the relationship with my son, he introduced me to magic mushroom therapy. My first trip this being whom I trusted took me on a beautiful journey. It was like an angel talking to me. I felt real love for me. I was weightless in love. I seen a beautiful place and was shown that I'm part of it. I'm a different person now. No more pain the fire has stopped.

    Mushrooms do cure depression. However, there is an important take away that is overlooked..
    That is, to make sure that whenever you are medicated, it's important to write down or record any insights or downloads you receive so that when you return to a "sober" state, you then apply them to your daily life. That's the other half of the lesson.
    Like any tool, it serves a function. No different from hanging posters on a wall after using hammers to insert nails for said purpose.

    As someone who has taken mushrooms a few times before, I can say that without the direction of those shrinks, they wouldn't have been able to focus on their memories. My own experiences have been helter-skelter voyages through time, space and colour, and I most certainly did not get me into any form of psycho state of analysis. What strikes me, however, is the realisation (or theory) that being clinically depressed is more of a psychiatric issue that a physiological one. if you need to send someone back to their childhood in order to resolve an issue, then that is the job of a shrink to help you with it, rather than a clinician to "fix" something.

    • @fingerprint5511
      @fingerprint5511 Před 4 měsíci

      Shrinks are drugged up themselves and use patients to work THEIR stuff out on and people pay them for it! There is no such state that is permanent that is is dependent on something else to arise. There is nothing to fix, only understand and accept and with everyone believing 'they' deserve more, bigger, better, 'is this all there is I must get more/better' then ....

    Mushrooms can also cause depression. If anyone deals with brain, chemistry issues of any sorts such as ADD, bipolar, etc. mushrooms can be a great benefit or they can send you into a manic depressive state.
    I tried to warn my buddy, who is obsessed with the psychedelic movement about the mood swings that could come with micro-dosing and they had to find out the hard way.

      The pills they are taking are pure psilocybin. As compared to the weight of a dried mushroom.
      The weight of a dried mushroom is not all psilocybin. So it’s more accurate to say 2.5g of dried mushrooms is the equivalent of 25mg of the psilocybin pills they are taking.

      The difference with Psychedelics is efficacy & safety. Tryptamines are vastly safer than SSRI prescriptions used for depression. Legacy Psychedelics do not create acute withdrawal syndrome and there is no known LD-50… you can eat 30-40 grams of psilocybin and you wont die. You may think you’ve died and thats the entire point, to change your perspective on how you interface with your fears.

    What no one tells you is Kundalini awakening is a spiritual power and if you have not cultivated a spiritual life previously and are suddenly awakened by an outside force - plant chemicals, you will suffer because you are not pure in heart in order to use these powers so to not cause harm to self or others. Corruption, the darkness was born this way, and stupid kids seeking pleasure and an easy life flock to this and are damned forever afterwards. Again ,.,, no Spiritual cultivation beforehand = HELL. If you do not understand there is no abiding self, no soul, no 'person' who is sick or happy or anything you dream up, you will go to these plants in 100% ignorance. Do the work first, see the truth, after that seek the plants, then you'll be worthy of their gifts.
