    I have social anxiety that at times can become severe and lead to embarrassing panic attacks and public meltdowns. I'm prescribed medication for it, and it works, but I'd really like to not be reliant on a substance. More recently I've started using alcohol occasionally, though it's never more than one beer or one glass of wine in a day. I'm now trying a new type of legal psychedelic mushroom that affects GABA receptors in the brain. It's called amanita pantherina. I'm still microdosing it at very small doses to get an idea of the effects. It's being researched as a potential anesthesia, so it may be dangerous in higher doses. It's very sedating and hypnotic, so it's not something I'd want to use everyday. Though maybe I can get the dose small enough to get the benefits without the side effects.

    Hello!
    I love the fact that you decided to stop drinking alcohol. Well done! I didn't know magic mushrooms existed. 😄 I thought they were only real in those Super Mario games...
    I'm absolutely scared of all those things you mentioned (alcohol and magic mushrooms) in this video. I never tried to drink alcohol, and I think I never will (despite the fact that I'm a 34 year old Frenchman) 😄 I don't even like mushrooms at all. They put some mushrooms on pizzas 🍕 sometimes and I never eat them 😄
    Thank you for this new video! Your voice is pleasant to hear.

    I used shrooms 3 time this last weekend in the hope to beat my addiction I've had for 24yrs plus, didn't know what to expect. The first 2 nights I just had fun with it but last night I force myself to take 3 more grams and what happened I feel is going to save my life I didn't have a bad trip I just sit back and took a hard real look at my life what I've done to my wife witch left me a year ago just everyone who loves me, it fucked up it definitely pushed me to my rock bottom I feel right now, I scared that I'll lose this feeling of determination to fix my life I've given up so many times over the years, I'm just so tired of taking a drug to get through the day it's made my mental health not good

      I can’t stay mad at you haha but I am allergic to censorship. I’m pleased that you had the experience that you did and took the time to share it in your own words. Also you have managers so . Censorship makes sense. It’s unfortunate that you are not completely independent and free. 🙏

      “Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.”
      - Ram Dass
      I’m trying to find the quote. It’s about taking psychedelics and being in the presence of Christ... but you can only stay for two hours.. and then he responds with wouldn’t it be better to become Christ?
      As in psychedelics will put you in the state of mind but you come down. Wouldn’t it be better through discipline and practices to stay there. And to not just “get high”... but get free?

    I had two trips (3g and 5g). It was pretty nice but my high only lasted for 3 days. I hadn't any craving, but afters these 3 days i was thinking about alcohol again (and buying it).

    I noticed you said "Holland" and not "The Netherlands". I'm not saying you're wrong. It's just something I've noticed. But we have the same problem here in France. However, the important thing is that I understood you. Well, I am not surprised that the Netherlands allows such a thing.

    I have trouble switching my brain off - which is why most of the time I get drunk but at times I can just want to get drunk to escape being bored or just enjoy listening to loud music while drinking and thinking I'm a great singer😅

    When you Gno[sis].. you GNO. In the US, Colorado (voters) recently passed into a law a Medicinal Facilitator law which legalizes managed psychedelic sessions utilizing psilocybin, mescaline, and dimethyltraptamines. Since you mentioned psycholytic therapy approaches, you're probably already familiar with the work of MAPS - the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies.. if not though you'll want to check them and their work out. Other pioneering work in this regard, see Claudio Narranjo's The Healing Journey (MDMA assisited psycholytic therapy approaches) Funny when you pay attention how much clarity you get about the toxicities.. psychedelic mindset definitely made it very easy for me personally to quit smoking cigarettes, and completely stopping drinking. Thanks for having the courage to speak openly and honestly on this topic that deserves much larger social awareness and consideration. If these ideas and approaches were integrated on a higher level socially, we'd have a much more compassionate, happy, healthy, peaceful, and productive society (and world). ☯
