    Lsd, dmt and psilocybin containing mushrooms are amazing. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with BPD. Not until my husband recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.

      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 Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

      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

    A few things about ketamine to put right: Ketamine was developed as an anesthetic for humans, it's primary advantage is that it preserves breathing and airway reflexes. It is still used on humans when you don't want to ventilate. Veterinarians use it for that same reason - intubating an animal is more complicated than a Ketamine injection. And there's no such thing as Rhino or Human grade Ketamine, it’s always Ketamine salt dissolved in water, you just need a bigger bottle to put out a rhino. To get snortable Ketamine, you let the water evaporate and get a 100% pure drug. What does exist are two mirrored versions of the same molecule, so called isomers. In medicine they mainly use R-Ketamine a so called racemic mixture of both isomers, or the isolated S-Isomer. It should not be eaten, as this provides low bio-availability and leads to bladder and kidney damage. Small amounts and rare use promote brain health, but large amounts in regular use cause pronounced brain damage.
    [EDIT] While it's not physically addictive like other dangerous drugs, lacking a mechanism for withdrawal, it can still lead to intense cravings after prolonged use at excessive dosages.
    For me it was harmless, mostly wired, but some have a euphoric reaction to the substance. Always observe Rule #2 of drug taking: If a substance alleviates a lot of your problems, run the other way.

      Nah… I don’t think he’s spun up in addiction, just likes drugs, parties, people and life. He’s the type that can get off a bus in a strange town and people are drawn to and like to help. He’s also probably very helpful too for “newbies” or someone from out of town.
      I bet this dude knows most of everyone somehow, where all the good parties are, and kind of bounces from scene to scene. He’s got star quality, but doesn’t need fame if that makes sense. Like he doesn’t have ego wrapped up around him, but he’s not so low, that he use the party drugs as a massive crutch.
      I can see him being this way when he’s 75 and moves to Key West and is naked half the time and has like 5 gal pals hanging around. And is living on a sail boat and sleeping in a hammock. And smoking a dubbie or taking some shrooms.

There are lots of things that can serve that role like he says, but drugs can be the easiest way to do so. I just hope that he finds passion in his life so that he doesn't feel like he needs to escape it.

      I was able to hide my diction from almost everybody for many years simply articulating myself in a similar manner, being self-aware, and appear like a person who knows when to stop. Addicts are masters of deception and they don't just to save others but also I'm selves with lies to avoid admitting their addiction or pain, or the fact that they are functioning addict is a free pass to continue using but it's just a clever way around your own defense mechanisms. Traumatize saw a person who is also addicted to find many creative ways to do anything BUT real work. It is also very possible to seven would be fine but it could also happened he won't be, but you will not be able to tell because he's already very good at hiding hiding his own addiction, from others but from himself as well. When I was surrounded by drug users, none of them ever expressed any concerns about my ketamine addiction or that there might be a problem with it because they all have addiction issues too I noticed that sharing about my own, triggered them so profoundly that they would get aggressive some of them ended our "friendship" because my own openness about struggle and addiction Mitte uncomfortable and it was just way of reaching out to people who did not want to help me because they just wanted to do drugs and I needed help. I also noticed a pattern that people distance themselves from me whenever I did open up about addiction or admitting it to them and that I was planning on quitting and they immediately just either ghosted me or said that they do not want to have any contact with me and that I need to find help and then it's not a problem,.

    For me, K was a party drug for sure. I loved it and would only say positive things about it and encourage other people to try it.
    I thought it was the best drug ever. Years later and now 8 years sober (and a professional addiction counsellor) I believe it is not about the specific drug, everyone thinks the drug they like is the best, it is about WHY you are using.
    Boredom doesn't really cut it....
    Drug users are looking for connection, they are looking for connection, a way to get past their traumas.
    Saturn didn't know his parents and all the responsible people left him early.
    He doesn't know how to ask for help, to be vulnerable or to talk about his pains.
    His solution is drug use because that is the only thing he was ever taught.
    Not his fault.

      I found your comment insightful. The most compelling part of the interview for me was when Saturn talked about shadow work and said, "I like distracting myself and am trying to figure out why. I'm sure it has to do with my childhood." He was making a huge connection. For some reason at that moment, the interviewer started talking about how people use drugs because they're bored. It was almost as if he didn't hear what Saturn just said.

      He is hurting and most of you cannot see it. Addicts and users are surrounded by other drug users and they do not want them to quit, a person can seem bright and self-aware and having things under control , and that's how Alex managed to use and even surprise friends find out who's leader that this person is addicted and they never knew. And I agree that Saturn is a wonderful soul but he's also very deep in his addiction and you can fill most of you for sure. Might even come here and read the comments and think that he's on the right track and that his life is not in any considerable danger others ketamine used is not serious enough to be addressed because some of the abundance of positive responses to his parents awareness that makes people assume that he can control what he consumes. And I'm sure that he doesn't have a therapist who would actually pointed out to him and see through it but RUclips is easy game for him. Wish you the best. I have yet to meet truly evil drug users because deep down we're just all hurting and I'm finding ways to not feel the pain. Addiction and drug use or even manage to become a functioning addict, is a lot more easier to deal with truly addressing the problem.

    Saturn you deserve all the good things in life! Look around, and if you don't like what you see then change it. I feel you could go anywhere if you wanted. Manifest that life you want. Best of luck! 🍀❤🥰

    Love this guy so much! ❤ what a sweetie. Psychedelics are so magical and powerful when used as a tool. They have changed my life and helped me see the beauty in this life.

    Always a fan and looked up to see if you did a show on ketamine. I appreciate it and this is one of the few things I've seen that doesn't show it in a bad or good light. Your subject has gone down the khole as we call it. Just really appreciate it dude (slight edit) going down the k hole is an irreversable experience. Hope you can interview more folks who have gone there.

    Saturn’s portrait photo on the cover is incredible. You’re eyes 👀 & you’re cute lisp 🥰.
    Saturn you are sooo correct…the right drug prescribed is the way to go.
    Most addicts & alcoholics surely are self medicating. I was diagnosed with ADD as an adult 15 years ago & prescribed dexamphetamine changed my life ❤️
