    I smoked a pack a day for 10 years and couldn't quit. Always went back. I took an 8th of shrooms spent the night in my room and wrote down what I wanted to do which was quit. And it's been 4 years and I haven't touched a smoke since it's like a reset button.

    They allowed me to become grounded in my life, after the high. I came to the realisation that the things I feared in my life were so small and through dwelling on them, I was wasting time i could spend with the ones I loved. I still have bad days but that feeling I had of wanting to end my life has gone. I don’t recommend drugs but if you feel like I did and are fighting thoughts, then give it a go. I was lucky to have a friend who knew what I was trying to do and stayed with me throughout my trip. It saved my life.

      Ego death. I experienced this for the first time when i was 16, sitting in a park with a group of friends on Friday evening. I literally experienced myself dying, watching my funeral, and then dissolving into the colorful ether of nothingness. Just my consciousness floating with no reference as to what I was. Then it all started rebuilding itself, all my realizations coming back one thought at a time. Like watching the shattering of a brick-wall but in reverse as all the bricks fly back together into their original positions like nothing happened. Only those bricks where my thoughts and identity.

      @@billybobthekidiswack No, i was Hippyflipping on 2 tabs of ecstasy and a quarter Oz of mushrooms. I probably weighed 140lbs at the time.
      If it wasn’t for the ecstasy putting me in a happy state of mind, it probably would of been a TERRIFYING experience. But because I was rolling hard (i dunno if anyone uses this term anymore, Rolling = being high of E) I was easily able to “let go” and not fight the experience.
      See fighting the experience is a natural reaction, but it is also what can make a psychedelic experience go from difficult to worse, then you are on a bad trip. But I am not suggesting to do the same, nor am I endorsing this because it worked for me. I was very impulsive and immature back then and through my reckless behaviour I risked being killed on numerous occasions.
      I was young and dumb, with no real concept of responsibility at the time. So i would impulsively make stupid decisions or jump straight into endeavours without foresight or a plan, as I was just living life hedonistically at the time. With my goal of Hedonism being to value; Having Fun, Being Entertained, and Feeling Good above all else. Even if that meant I had to take unknown risks, and chance of suffering along the way.
      That was my mind-frame as a teenager. Just so you understand, that I do understand, how reckless and dangerous my experiences have been.
      Ive grown alot since, so i can now look back and analyze my actions critically.

When coupled with diverse forms of Meditation and Jungian psychotherapy, it can be what takes you from zero to hero of that is your aim. If you are disciplined and brave, this is the way.

      @@213cuz2 I don't watch TV when taking mushrooms. I just pop on that good old skyrim atmospheres and go to dream land. Reflect on life with a new perspective.
      I only felt the time dilation when I made the mistake to smoke a joint without thinking that the effect would change entirely.
      At that moment I felt like I was blasted off into another reality. It was a lot to handle but I wouldn't say it was bad. Came out with a lot of interesting insights from an incredible perspective.
      I always feel like people need to understand that Psilocybin is not a party drug, for the exact reasons specified in this video. You gotta let go and go through your shit without that social anxiety.
      But I also recommend a certain respect and reverence for the fungus. I won't go into, but you just have to really reflect on what you want as an outcome and be flexible with what you're shown.
      Always have a sober sitter who knows what's up and knows how to comfort you in case you get overwhelmed. It's nothing to be afraid of, but sometimes you just wanna tap out.
      I've only taken Psilocybin twice with a noticeable effect. But I sure as hell spent the years in between and after those trips reflecting and dissecting what was shown.
      Lol thanks for coming to my ted talk hahaha

    nndmt was great for me. I did 90 days in a row, 3-5 times per day, after 3am before 5 am. Forever changes the way I view the world and people in general. In the 5 years since I have started two businesses, put two children through college, and increased my overall net worth. More importantly I am now able to interact with people where before my asperger's made it difficult to relate, although I have to admit I was fairly functional before, but now I feel comfortable in a social setting, whereas before this would have been unimaginable.

    Shrooms are more "theraputic" than I want. It's totally different from mescaline. In fact, no patio planting plan is ever complete without a lot of San Pedro (Spirit of the Sky) and close relatives for the tall columnar cactus effect that doubles height every year. Pharmaceutical antidepressants sales would plunge if more people spent time patio gardening.

    I was once cleaning a creek during a barefoot walk in the forest after having eaten mushrooms. Going from the sand to the water to forest bed and mud, noticing the water drying on my skin or all the textures of the ground, touch and temperatures became important parts of my focus. This act of being an amphibian being that can walk through a variety of terrains is something that goes beyond the description of "going within," it still felt like it though.
    Sometimes the body feels down because it desires physical interaction and being blindfolded in a living room does not provide this as prominently.

    I am an experienced user of shrooms.
    Different strains are recognisingly different in experience and profoundness.
    For me the most potent and profound are the tiny liberty caps that we have in the UK.
    It is no coincidence that they are difficult to find and cannot be grown in a bag like other psyilocibe.
    The myth that exists in the UK is that they cannot grow in untouched soil that is less than 300 years old.
    Whether true or not the point I am trying to make is that the knowledge and spirit that exists in the experience depends on the knowledge and spirit the mycelium has absorbed.

They absolutely have the power to disrupt cultural norms including the ones which are harmful to us and the earth. However, we lost many years of progress before and could lose again if we do not take seriously and respect these substances.

      Shrooms can get more "theraputic" than I want to get. It's a lot rougher than mescaline. In fact, no patio planting plan is ever complete without a lot of San Pedro relatives for the tall columnar effect that doubles every year.Pharmaceutical antidepressants sales would plunge if more people spent time in well planned patio gardening.

      @@seanclements6206 As far as mescaline mis-perceptions go, there has been so little use compared to some of the other psychotropics, so any perception of it is going to be a projection and a mis-perception. Stigma? It has a bad reputation for being nauseating and crampy, but that is because people are usually referring to the Peyote experience. Peyote has about 17 alkaloids, one of those is mescaline. 9 don't do anything. 7 or so cause physiological symptoms, puking, tremors, pulse, sweats and such. Mix that with your mental experience and it can feel pretty uncomfortable.
      The Trichocerus however only have about 7 alkaloids. One is mescaline and the other 8 are NOT physiologically acting. They do not stack any physical side effects on top of the psychological and spiritual intent. That's why they call San Pedro, "Spirit of the Sky". light and crisp compared to the other types... totally unique.
      When making a tea though, the sheer bulk of it can get nauseating even with San Pedro and Peruvian Torch. When boiled down to a tar or tar dried, powdered and into the coffee, it's not noticeable.
      The plant makes dopamine. 1 to 4x a month, light dose keeps me on the right side of the grass. Extremely helpful!
      Psychological freedom is something for us to be working on for the betterment of humanity. The drug company CEO's need to spend a weekend with me to get it.

    Lex, you are brilliant and very in touch with the progression of Elon Musk’s views and Tesla’s path towards autonomy.
    What are your thoughts on the repercussions that will take place if Tesla succeeds like it’s planned to do. If they release full self driving at a lower cost than ownership of a regular antonymous car, proceeding to take those billions of pure profit to build out more autonomous cars, what do you foresee the reaction of dealership workers, other car manufacturers, etc.. Have you ever considered the social paradigm shift of anger against the absolute success of Tesla, or do you feel that Tesla will foresee this and try to mitigate these possible riots and anger before they take place?

      I’m not familiar with the study, but I know that my only “bad” experiences with them after a couple dozen sessions were the times I was messing up in life and I knew it. The mushrooms wouldn’t let me not think about those things for ~4 hours. To those not accustomed, it may feel like you’re more depressed when you’re confronted with things being your one fault.
      Edit: this isn’t to say that they didn’t have other problems associated with the trip. I know psychedelics aren’t for everyone.

    CZcams mushroom videos are very misleading. What they don't really point out is that the trip is decided by the user. I think a lot of people think you take them, and then blast off into some sort of introspective, out of body, experience,, where all life's questions are answered. What people don't realize is the people telling these tales are constantly looking into those things when not on mushrooms.
    I've taken them about 15 times. Not once was I in another dimension, tapping into my brain and discovering answers to all life's questions.
    Nope. I was tripping out at Universal Studios Halloween Haunt, talking to Chucky and running through the Area 51 Zombie Maze. Or laughing my ass off at Las Vegas New Years, watching the Treasure Island Pirate Show, and following a tiny man made out of Pooh, who my friend could also see. Or walking through Thousand Oaks Mall crying in laughter, before taking a call that turns out to be an over the phone interview for Adidas, not only getting the job, but getting promoted to a supervisor!
    You get what you want out of them... But if you're trying to see smart stuff, and you're not smart, you'll most likely see the man made out of pooh
