Here's Why You Want To Know About Mushrooms and Depression

- Psilocybin is a compound found in mushrooms that has psychedelic properties. Psychedelic means it makes you hallucinate. Psilocybin works in the brain by activating the 5-HT2A receptor on the neuron to increase serotonin.

Psilocybin has been used recreationally for years and is known to broaden your thinking, relax you and amplify your emotions.
There have been studies that have shown that after only two doses of psilocybin, the person was more mentally flexible and less uptight about things. These attitude changes 7-12 months after the 1-2 doses.
There’s a real race to get this to market. The FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation in 2018 to Compass Pathways for treatment resistant depression using a range of doses. Then in November 2019, the FDA granted the designation to the company Usona Institute to treat regular depression (not treatment resistant) using a single dose.
Depression inside of bipolar disorder is different from unipolar depression. Psilocybin is being studied for the treatment of unipolar depression. We don't know what affect it will have on possibly triggering mania or psychosis. This doesn't mean that it can't help with the depression that comes with bipolar disorder, though. We’ll first have to see what side effects are associated with the drug once they have completed the trials to anticipate how it may affect bipolar disorder.

I have 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.
Alright Can he be reached on IG?
Yes doc.Brenttt
One dose of psybicilin mushrooms was enough to cure my depression, it’s been two years since that day. It was a very “spiritual” experience, but doctors don’t like to use that word.
How much did you dose? I’m going to be trying soon for cptsd I’ve tried everything else.
Yeah, how much? I have a few shrooms hiding away in my closet in case of emergency. I dont want to take too much and trip out but I guess that wont matter if one wants to just end it all.
Magical Mushrooms Healed me and helped to stop using cocaine and drinking alcohol.
How much did u use
@@non-ofyo-business3399 , I always wanted to use acid but I never could find any
Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.
Psychedelics should only be used with great care and respect, I would love to feel same man , how do you source em
dr.perryshrooms is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Yes, dr.perryshroom. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
The use of magic mushrooms can completely help one get over addiction and depression. but there’s a big risk if you eat the wrong type
hm. Can dr.perryshrooms dispatch to me in LA?
I've been microdosing .05g every day for the past 3 days and my anxiety and depression is quickly fading. The feeling of "everything is going to be okay" is starting to come back to me.
What mushroom strain are you using? Can you remember?
I’ve been looking for help everywhere

Antidepressant treatment can disconnect you from your pain, whereas psychedelics can connect you to the sources of them.
With the right conditions, knowledge, integration, and guidance, psychedelics can allow you to heal yourself.
I wouldn’t be here without antidepressants, but I wouldn’t be *happy* to be here without my experiences with psychedelics.
That's a beautiful way to put it.
Did you wean off antidepressants before microdosing?
Were you able to go off antidepressants?
@@georginarandolphgirl66 I actually didn’t go off antidepressants before taking mushrooms. I had a full blown trip actually, and i haven’t microdosed for a while until after going off my antidepressants (some people microdose whilst weaning off their antidepressants, apparently it helps).
After the trip, i decided what was best for me was to get off my antidepressants, and slowly weaned off them. This wasn’t too challenging in my case, though it may vary for others depending on the case.
I am now off antidepressants for nearly 3 years now and don’t see myself ever going back.
@@jonathanmarkov1741 that is awesome! It gives me hope. I have never done mushrooms and afraid to try in case it's not pure and laced with something. Thank you so much for responding to me.
Mushrooms literally gave me a lifetime's worth of therapy in about 7 hours. There was a lot of mental and spiritual work I had to do afterwards for a few years but I am literally so happy with my life now. I never thought I would see that day come. And I've only eaten mushrooms 3 times in my life.
We’re do you these mushrooms?
Omh can u tell.me.more?
Bring in back...put it in the water supply instead fluoride ...
What dose did you take?
I want to try it because I suffer from Anxiety and anger issues. But I be so scared of the effects because I’m not sure what will
Make do 😣😔. I guess I’m scared because one time I smoked weed and I felt like I almost die yet I ended up with ptsd and scare to even try catnip 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life. Never had a bad trip.
I've been looking to try shrooms, anyone knows where can I acquire some? 🙏
was actually having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across dr.lucasmushrooms a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
Yeah! Very sure of dr.lucasmushrooms.
Is he on insta? Where can I find him
Yes..Saw people talk about …, checked him out on instagrm and I must say he is very good at what he does.
This could have happened 50 years ago, sad how politics have such a grip on mental health advancements.
They don't want well people least of all those sensitive enough to have emotional problems because those who are prone to mental illnesses are so much more able to see the truth in life.
Psilocybin was made illegal with the same law as LSD because of it's similarity. This was by the same lawmakers who took us to Vietnam. Tim Leary was supposed to use his supply of LSD for research but instead he basically just gave it irresponsibly to everyone and this along with it's popularity in the hippie movement prompted the lawmakers to ban LSD and other drugs like it. Somehow morning glories didn't get mixed into the law despite being of the same category and having some physical detriments, unlike psilocybin which is physically harmless, probably just from them being overlooked or lack of knowledge of it's similarity.
Our so-called leaders are some of the most dangerous mentally ill people in society.
They tried it 50 years ago, but they gave people way too much acid
So many lives are on the politicians hands for banning it.
I took shrooms once in my early 20s and all the childhood friends I was with looked like reptiles. Listening to my favorite music felt like heaven on earth and when my conscience reattached to my body I had so many epiphanies, it felt like I read a thousand books….
I have haven’t done it since but knowing how it alters your perspective of life for the better I can see why the government demonizes it…
Imagine awakening one day and realizing your reality is only a reflection of your thoughts. Sit with that for a minute.
I'm depressed all ready. Never can seem to find any.
why would the government care if you realize 'your reality is only a reflection of your thoughts?' Doesn't obviously lead anywhere that challenges power. Just sounds like solipsism.

I think it's important for everyone to keep in mind that mushrooms won't cure depression, but the breakthroughs it brings helps you pin point the problem areas that YOU need to address and work on.For me mushrooms have shown me my issues and how I can solve them or keep repeating the cycle. A deeply Spiritual experience.
I knew it. People were lying at mushrooms solving depression and anxiety 😂

Actually microdosing has completely taken care of my life long seasonal depression I microdose a few times when the rain and darkness begin and I am good for months. There's definitely a difference between microdosing for depression and tripping therapeutically to address something like an addiction or PTSD, but for me it is literally a miracle. I don't have to even use the SAD light that I've used daily during the PNW rainy season since 2010. I am now dealing with depression from a life changing chronic illness and it's even helped there. While I am definitely a proponent of getting a good mental health therapist and doing further work, just microdosing a few times was enough to blast it away for me. Other people may have different experiences, but as someone who has the rare 1% serious reactions to most prescriptions I've taken (I'm talking ER visits & life and death) this has been truly life changing. I live in Oregon, where drugs have been decriminalized. This gave me the courage to try it out even though it's technically still Schedule 1 and illegal. I'll never look back. We've basically been lied to for decades, because Nixon was a nasty, petty coward. As a GenXer I wish I had my Just Say No t-shirt from middle school so I could burn it!!
I was given psilocybin chocolate at a beach party a few months ago. I took it for fun. It delivered. I definitely had a spiritual experience even in that setting with loud music and large crowds. I definitely “learned” things that I would have never figured out from age an experience alone.
What I didn’t expect was that once it wore off, I would continue life as a completely different person, with a completely different outlook. In the months since, I am no longer uptight, I am no longer worried, I am no longer phased by a majority of the things that used to bother me.
I am happy. I am hopeful. I am content. And when I say happy, it’s hard to explain. I could have a shitty ass day, and just start laughing about how grateful I am to be me. I feel like someone took my brain, untangled it, washed all the dirt out of it, put some birthday cake sprinkles in it, and put it back.
I’m still me, but the version I’ve always wanted to be, and never thought it could be possible. I keep wondering how did this happen? And then I remember videos like this and others where they explain that’s literally what happens!!
One more thing, when looking at pictures, my smile post-psilocybin is completely different. It radiates like there is a sun inside my face. It never did that before.
theres hope
I only "know" you from your videos but in my eyes you are the gold standard for everything a mental health professional should be.

I remember a trip 10 years ago - I cried like I haven't cried at all in my life and I saw my pain as a rainbow of different colors, each sorrow, each specific hurt became a specific color. It felt so liberating. After the trip I changed a lot & my life improved so fast. 10 years later, I am now looking into micro dosing, it's time to upgrade :)
*lordytrip* got psychedelic and different mushroom strains
You can contact them to get that
So glad to hear that God bless you!!
Hi! Nice to hear it. I have TRD, ssri's doesn't work. I want to try psylocybine or lsd, but i'm little bit afraid of psychosis or hppd, maybe you've heard about that problems. And so i want to get information from people who have tried it by themselves. Is there any difference between lsd and shrooms? What do you think about it?
I think that strategy of smoothly and slowly raising up dose from micro to 2*micro to 4*micro etc, will be the most safety strategy to try it. Do you have any thoughts about it? Thanks!
beautiful !!!!
Yea they get quite existential and poetic
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psychedelics saved me from vears of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.

Exactly. Just like western medicine is now realizing the mind and body are one and what goes on in the mind, is also expressed in the body. These doctors/scientists referred to wholism as "pseudoscience"...now they're writing books and getting praise for things that indigenous cultures have BEEN saying for thousands of years.
I hate it. It disgusts me.
Typical. Same with weed. Shit's been around thousands of years & they're gonna act like no one ever heard of it before.
Most have been put on this planet since day one . Why would something that grows in the earth and used for Millenia be so bad for US ?? God or the Universe would not have put it here if it was not meant to be used for something. Every great community of people from the past used hallucinogenics ,I’m sure they’d have let it be known not to touch 🤷♀️

Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
came across the comments about liberty_capss and I must say he is a genius.
Wow did you have to taper down you benzo dose and use the mushrooms to help? I can see how they might make things a little easier with, in my experience, benzo detox to be the most difficult of all substance detox.
why do I see this exact same comment in every mushroom video
@@solsticeaura which one lol
I think I’ve seen you at least three times spreading this copy pasta around every single thing that has anything to do with mushrooms. is this some kind of funny business going on or are you just very passionate about letting people know the benefits?
all the grief that was deep seeded in my chest came out of me with sobbing, crying, and diarrhea. I went well over a year healed from my depression. I was able to quit smoking. My life has changed so much for the better since that experience
That’s so wonderful … every day it’s like being at war
@katherine jones thanks so much for this!!!

I took mushrooms the other day and I swear to you I had an awakening about depression and life itself. I feel very happy, free, and willing to continue on with life. Not even willing but wanting. I feel free. Thank you psilocybin
Really?
That is incredible. I'm glad that it helped you. Would you be willing to say if you microdosed or took enough to trip? And if you did microdose what was the dosage and how long did you microdose for? Thanks in advance.
@@7cstair93 grow it
Thank God for psilocybin..☺
How much did you take?
Stumbled across this video, so i figured id give my personal experience.
Dealing with depression for about 10 years, i started looking into psilocybin treatment. I did my own research, watched a lot of videos about it, spent a lot of time preparing myself for the experience, such as laying out questions i had for myself beforehand, making sure i was in a good head space, the weather was nice, i had no responsibilities that day or the next.
I had a 3.5g chocolate bar that i consumed at roughly 1g per hour for three hours. I spent 6 hours on my porch swing, watching the sky, the birds, meditating. It was a life altering experience and opened my eyes to so many things. It helped me understand why people act the way they act, that everyone on this planet has trauma in one way or another and everyone is just trying to get through life in the best way they know how.
The downside is, it also revealed to me all the horrible, evil things that we do to each other on a daily basis and showed me just how little compassion we can really have for each other.
So, in the end, it made me a much better, much happier and much less judgemental person.
But it also brought a new problem along. I no longer see the worth in the way society is set up. I dont care about social status, money, politics, or any "worldly" problems anymore because my psilocybin experience showed me that none of it matters. The only thing that matters to me now is love, kindness and compassion.
It makes it incredibly hard to find motivation to go to a job where im working my life away for something i find absolutely zero value in; money.
Im planning out my next psilocybin experience now, with new questions and obstacles to confront about myself and where i belong in society.
Hopefully this wasnt too long and gives someone some insight or even helps them with their own struggles in the future.
Peace and love
(Extended version)
Felt like further explaining what psilocybin taught me about humanity. I'm NOT saying I'm correct or that my words come from a mind of greatness. I'm simply telling you about my experience and the opinions I formed from them
During my trip, I was shown that money isn't the root of all evil. It is simply the best tool. As long as humanity is forced to fight over resources, there will always be winners and losers. We use money as a competition, who can get the most, who can take the most from other people, who can use their money to make even more money.
I mean, the one thing that holds back all development is always funding. And what is funding? Something we fucking made up! It doesn't exist.
If we are all on a deserted island, how much is a piece of lumber worth? Or a rock? Or water? Food? Are you going to give someone your last bottle of fresh water for a piece of paper?
If we could stop fighting each other for more than 5 minutes, we could actually all use our skills to work together and make the world a better place for everyone.
I mean, why do we work so many hours? We produce SO MUCH stuff that we don't need, and it's all driven by profit. We rape this entire planet so we can produce useless gizmos and gadgets, fancy new cars, ridiculous houses, all just so we can show off to everyone else how much better we are than them.
If the world wasn't driven by profit, we wouldn't be working 50+ hours a week in shit hole factories just so we can make numbers on a screen bigger for someone else. It's just sad to me. We have trapped ourselves in a vicious cycle where the strong will always conquer the weak, and as everything gets further divided (rich/poor), we are only going to show each other less and less compassion because eventually we're all going to be stuck in the same boat while someone you've never met in your life controls every aspect of it.
All I want in life now is to be free. Free from others telling me what to do, what to wear, how to act, what to think, how to live. If I had my way, I'd be living in a community of like minded people where we grow our own food, care for our sick, and just generally help each other survive. But, that's just not possible today, because no matter where you go, money follows. You'll owe it to someone for some reason, and they'll throw you in a cage if you don't pay them.
I also no longer believe in authority. I mean, we're all human. What gives me, you, or anyone the right to tell anyone else what to do? I have no power over you, you have no power over me. Who am I to tell you that your way of life is wrong? Why do we allow people to be locked in cages for things that don't hurt anyone else? If I want to do something, I'll do it. Who are you to tell me I can't? Unless we have a contract of some kind with each other, you aren't making me do anything I don't want to do.
Remember, if something is punishable by a fine, then it's only illegal if you're poor. And it's designed that way on purpose.
You had to take drugs to be less judgemental?
@@r011ing_thunder6 if that's all you got out of my story, sure
The hippies tried it in the 60s. It all fell apart in the 70s. They became even more greedy and materialistic…
How come depression is still not considered life threatening disease when so many people suffering from it take their lives every single day. t.t
I really hope this alternative of treatment will be available soon.
Ps: I wish in my country there were therapists with this open mind to alternative treatments.
Because society sees depression is "just everyday life so suck it up" when in reality they're dying inside mental and spiritually
What country are you in? In the United States, you're admitted to the hospital immediately if you feel afraid that you may take your life
I wish it was actually f’n east to see someone I call for a appointment snd they say next available is 3 months away….no wonder so many kill themselves they make it almost impossible to get help let alone seems beyond impossible if suffering from something severe mentally.
@@AtortAerials how you doing ??🤗🙏
What country do you live in, sweetie? There are support groups online where people suffering from clinical depression discuss and share information that may be accessible to you. I hope you can get help, because I know how hard it can be trying to fight this all on your own.
Psilocybin cured my depression and expanded my consciousness im also optimistic and would never consider taking my life again i appreciate everything i am and i live for the sake of living and learning.
How many grams did you take? I have depression and BPD and would give it a try cause I can't picture myself living like this in the future
@@Maria-rx6ik my very first trip was 1.5 but you have to understand that its about the intention you put in if you really know you need to change you wil need to open up fully to wherever the trip takes you and know that it wont always be very comfortable its such a significant experience you have to be able to step out of your comfort zone and absorb everything that the experience seeks to teach you let it guide you completely. Ths setting amd mindset are important so maks sure you plan ahead and get your physical surroundings to be nice and safe so that you run no risk of altering your experience in any negative way. If you take ssri "medication" it can and will nullify the effects of psilocin if you feel that you gained from such an experience and wnt to learn more give yourself a good amount of time between your trips like upward of 2 to 4 weeks and if you'd like up the dose by a half gram every other trip . You can also microdose witch can be done on a daily basis and is a dose small enough to have the neurological and psychological benefits without the psychedelic experience. Safe travels peace and love always.
@@Maria-rx6ik you should check out a playlist i put together and titled "live to learn, learn to live" on yt of very informative videos that can help you prepare for that future.
@@elverchavez5776 I’ve heard you should take a couple days off per week if microdosing on a daily basis. Like microdose Monday through Friday and take the weekend off.
@@cbo9090 thats very true, its because you build tolerance really quickly when it comes to psychedelics.
I did psylocibin ONE TIME ONLY in 1998 and I'll never, ever forget the experience. The experience honestly changed my life. At first I couldn't stop talking about politics and philosophy. I remember talking about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky non-stop ( this was in 1998 ). Then I just opened up about our place in the universe and why we're here. ( Does God exist, etc. ). Then the opposite kicked in. I became terrified and started crying. All of my pent up emotions were released and it felt so good. Everything just CAME OUT. The next day was the first day of my new life. Because that experience was so profound I never used mushrooms again after that but I've always wondered what would happen a second time.
I took LSD once and politics are no longer interesting and I was a major news head as well. Now it’s just all seem silly. I no longer worry less either. I meditate daily and write often too.
@@TheMcKenzieHaus that's actually very wise. You sound like you live an authentic life. Peace.
beautiful
So much time has passed, I'm sure the experience would be very different. I've done two strong doses (7-8g) within months. The first time was much more powerful and emotional and the second time was more intellectual and introspective, almost like a continuation of the first time.
For the last six months, I have been regularly taking psilocybin. It has made me a lot more in tune with myself, and sometimes it'll make you confront some feelings/memories that you don't want to confront. Ive had quite a few bad trips; but I do not regret a single one. Those little toadstools have changed my life forever, and I wish everybody could experience that.
I have tried these, twice (within a couple days), for pretty severe anxiety. It broke my anxiety and healed whatever was causing it. I was careful and had guidance, no weirdness, only relaxation. I'm so glad you're bringing awareness to the benefits!
Where did you go to seek guidance? I want to give it a try for spiritual enhancement reasons not to see colors, distorted figures and to “trip”.
@katherine jones wow really?! I'm definitely gonna check it out. You trust it ? Not sketchy ?
U ate mushroom??
I suffer from GAD and OCD. My main issues are worry and ruminating on intrusive thoughts. I wonder if Microdosing on Psilocybin can help with this..

Psilocybin and Ayahuasca helped me more than any therapist, magnetic stimulation, SSRI. That, and hitting the gym.

Great system with no flaws I must say.

Thank you for all your information and knowledge. It’s a blessing to see a black Dr. educating the community on mental health.

I have been doing medium sized doses on the weekends. I have been battling extreme depression and anxiety for the last 3 years, and was smoking two packs a cigarettes a day. I’m 37 and I’ve been a smoker since I was 12. I’m now cigarette free for over 2 weeks and feeling on top of the world! ❤️🍄
I am so, so, so grateful that this is gaining momentum as a genuine treatment for depression. I've struggled with major depressive disorder for 19 years. I had no therapy/medication for the first 5 years. I got into therapy, and then It took 4 years of trying different antidepressants and medication additions to find what works the best (ended up being fluoxetine), but even still I have episodes (they're just less frequent). I took psilocybin one time, and it was genuinely the only time since I developed depression whenI did not feel sad. In fact, I forgot I was even depressed for a solid 3 hours and just thought about how grateful I am for my life. It restored so much hope for me. I can only imagine what it would do as a consistent treatment.
Hi! Nice to hear it. I have TRD, ssri's doesn't work. I want to try psylocybine or lsd, but i'm little bit afraid of psychosis or hppd, maybe you've heard about that problems. And so i want to get information from people who have tried it by themselves. Is there any difference between lsd and shrooms? What do you think about it?
I think that strategy of smoothly and slowly raising up dose from micro to 2*micro to 4*micro etc, will be the most safety strategy to try it. Do you have any thoughts about it? Thanks!
@@missisipi9992, search, UCSF, psilocybin clinical trials, they have a whole department, using psilocybin and LSD for depression and other medical conditions. I’ve tried Microdosing using up to 1 g for a dose with no affect on my depression, my son said if he had taken that much, he would be hallucinating he MICRODOSIS only occasionally when he thinks he needs it and tells me how much better he feels. I’m envious. I just want the old me back I want my life back before depression. I I did listen to a podcast from one of the doctors running the trial, and mentioned that psilocybin worked best for depression in large doses in a controlled environment with some patients not having depression for as long as five years. Not doing medication‘s don’t like the feeling it’s not worth it for me, fortunately, I live within one hour of UCSF and I’m going to see if I qualify for treatment in their studies go to their website and see what kind of information you can find for yourself. Good luck.

SSRI's i suspect ,rewire the brain in ways nature wouldn't do.? Quite the opposite in fact.Fasing can significantly enhance BDNF and Neuroplasticity of itself so i imagine a certain combo of fasting,keto and/or psilocybin would really amp up the feel good factor ?
When I had my first dose, I felt so alive after. I could taste things again, music sounded good, and I felt like I had never noticed before how beautiful the sky looks. I also felt incredibly raw and confused and unable to handle the wide range of emotion I was suddenly experiencing. I was able to overcome my depression with the help of psybicilin but I was not prepared to experience the emotions that I had been suppressing for years. It was both wonderful and horrible. However after some more frequent therapy and a second dose, I felt very resilient to my depression and developed good coping and processing skills for my emotions. I am still on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication but I am substantially better across the board.
How do i do this? Where is it available?

I have a short background in science. I wanted to be an organic chemist 🧪, until it scared me how many “preferred” synthetic drugs with terrible effects and low efficacy rather than to use what grows naturally and is balanced enough for human/animal digestion. Regretting their use once organ failure begins is way too late.
And... the drugs are only a bandage on a toxic society that MAKES us depressed en masse.

what a fucked up logic. people don't prefer synthetic. they prefer effect. go ahead find some plants that work better and claim your fame. you do understand that just because something is growing in nature it doesn't mean its either safe or effective. a lot, if not most things growing in nature are poison as fuck to humans, right? as in organ failure and death. but good luck with your career as an alchemical herbalist or whatever imaginary title you come up with. you could have been a scientist, but you chose to have your opinion be nothing but an opinion and not matter like the rest of the tinfoil hatters in here. its true that most drugs aren't as good or effective as wed like to and that a lot comes with bad side effects and even kill a lot of people every year, but we take them because we don't have any alternatives, and when you or one of your loved ones is dying from something horrible and your entire existence is pain, you're going to thank the people that made synthetic morphine like they were the imaginary gods of the past. we as a race have had more than a 100k years without chemistry. do think it was better before when all you had was some herbs and prayers when you lost a hand or had a brain tumor? people used to die from all kind of banalities that we can easily cure today thanks to chemistry and science. not to some fuckin tea brewers.

Microdosing Psilocybin has seriously changed my life for the better. My what used to be crippling social anxiety and staying inside often from feeling the effects of depression, weight gain, covid lonliness etc has dissipated.

Tracey, your approach to mental health education is so wonderful and rare in its scientific, open-minded & interdisciplinary nature. I love the way you communicate things so clearly in layman's terms without ever really needing to dumb things down, that you stick to the fact and touch on the studies. I have found that very few mental health professionals consider things like nutrition and politics before rushing to prescribe the first-line of defence drugs, and too few are really thinking outside the box and looking at novel ways to improve mental healthcare. Here especially you reference not one but two controversial topics, authoritarianism and its relationship with mental health, and restricted hallucinogenic drugs having potential therapeutic benefits.
Really glad I found this channel and rock on, is all I have to say.
I am 38 and just a few months ago learned what it felt like to sit still to be still. It was so amazing to me that I literally cried out of relief and joy. It has taken about 15 years to find aed that worked for my anxiety and ADHD. However for my dysthymia is another story. I just want to feel happy to know what that's really like. To feel like I can function and live to my full potential.

I was an artist but then became depressed and couldn't draw anymore. Then I ate 5g of dried Psilocybin mushrooms and not only did I start to gain artistic inspiration again but I suddenly knew how to paint as well. I painted a detailed picture of an Odissi dancer and finished it in 3 days and this came AFTER the intoxication wore off.

I suffered my entire life from cptsd and trauma and had no social skills what so ever, I was so shy and traumatised I did not dare to exist in front of other people only my closest friend(s). Mushrooms changed my life. I felt life coming back to me and everything suddenly just worked inside my body, my heart opened and I loved myself and everything around me so much. Talking to other people couldn’t be more effortless today and life is truly beautiful. The most beautiful experience however was that my phobia for dogs totally reversed and I went from getting panicked every time I saw a dog to now living with my 2 dog best friends whom I love over anything else, I want to cry when I think about it, for me it’s pure magic and I’m eternally grateful for this experience. 💖
I did not get out of my bed for years always binge eating and had a miserable lifestyle. SSRI broke my brain, mushrooms gave me only love. I’m a person again thanks to this nature wonder 🍄🦋 big doses can be a bit uncomfortable thought so stay safe, if you are tripping you are not microdosing!
Thank u! I have CPTSD too and social anxiety. I was wondering if they would help.
Did you get these effects while only microdosing?
I didnt microdose at first but after having a terrible trip I slowed it down. So it's hard for me to say when the effects was starting to show, it's very individual depending on the shroom, the amount you consume and your personal conditions. I don't think it matters on the therapeutical effect if you take a larger dose at once or if you microdose(do it properly and add other supportive mushrooms as lion's mane etc, do your research) the difference is if you take a larger dose you will have a trip and if you are prone to psychosises or are just sensitive in general it can be quite tough on your psyche so I wouldn't reccomend anyone to do that at all. Have patience and let it take it's time it's worth it. A bad trip can fck you up for a long time
@@littlefairyfly Did this help with anxiety and panic attacks?
For me yes. I still get anxious sometimes but it's no longer cronical. Please be aware that when you consume psychedelics, especially if you are not experienced with them, it can cause temporary anxiety and/or panic while under the influence. That's why its important to not over consume it. Even if you are just doing small doses it can be good to have a sober and supportive friend near by, especially if you tend to get anxious, just in case
As someone who was diagnosed with chronic depression at a mere 8 years old, and never sought treatment, I can say shrooms pretty much cured my depression. I obviously have an occasional bad day still, but it's not just a normal expected part of my life anymore. The biggest change I could describe would be that they made me so much more appreciative of just about everything in my life whereas I struggled with fulfillment previously. It was impossible to feel happy for more than a moment when nothing in your life felt worthwhile. I've done shrooms maybe 5 times in 10 years, and the 4th time was when I really noticed a change, so it's not a guaranteed thing on your first go, but it's been about a year since the dose where I really noticed the change, I've done them once more since and the results have held pretty steady.
I've been on Lithium, Invega, and everything in between since I was 20 years old. I tried plant medicine for the first time and have made breakthroughs I've only cried and begged for. I want to learn how to continue on this path because the healing I've received is undeniable.
Were you taking any medication at the time of the trip?

@Married Texan well because people forget that plants are actually medicinal. You'd be surprised by the amount of misinformation and lack of knowledge people have about medicine in general. Just saying as a a former health-care worker.
Saw a story on this on 60 Minutes last year. Doctors in a trial used to treat a severe alcoholic stop drinking completely (no cravings) , help a woman quit smoking, and helped a cancer patient remove her anxiety and fear of death. Amazing!
Did they say if it worked for opiod/heroin addiction? Thank you. 💕
Entheogenic plants and fungi have been used therapeutically for probably thousands of years by shamanic type practitioners in indigenous societies. My first depressive episode was at age 10. It remained episodic until I took a heroic dose of psilocybin in my early 50's. I'm 64 now and it has not returned. I know there is lots of good coming from micro-dosing of various substances, but it was the big dose that helped me the most. Full disclosure; in my 20s I also had a substantial size dose of psilocybin and enjoyed a period of several years without depression. I thought I was just happy and lucky, but now looking back, I'm sure it was the "shrooms." Blessings and Peace! I'm also a provider of mental health treatment with 24 years experience. Cheers!
I second that. I had taken several smaller doses before I really educated myself about psilocybin and saw minor help, but it was the heroic dose and sense of ego death that truly changed me for the better. I had to silence my Default Mode Network for any real work to be done.
did you hallucinate?. I'm terrified of being high in any way, anytime I was in the past, the result was horrible and ended with me broken

Dr. Marks I have only recently found your channel but all the facts and concise delivery is very enjoyable
I love you and your videos! You're well spoken, good at breaking down the subject, and believable. Thank you for contributing to my education!
I am 100% for the right to use psilocybin. I have been using it to help with my depression and spiritual journey. But I caution, It is not for everyone. At moderate to high doses it can be an absolutely existentially jarring experience. You have to be prepared to face death, because it gives you the experience of dying.
I thought I was ready for it but when I took my first heroic dose I ended up having a horrifying experience. One that I think i ultimately benefited from mostly. It showed me (I have suicidal depression) how much i want life. In my darkest moments when I feel a strong urge to end it, I can recall just recently, staring death in the face, and it helps me remember that even though I dont feel it right now, there is a big part of me that wants to live. I am just blinded to it right now, because of the depression.
But I also, now get triggered into feeling the sensation of my consciousness slipping away from my physical self in flashbacks, that can be triggered by any number of things. I can just be feeling a little bit off, too sleepy, perhaps, or I might have an anxiety attack and if it feels remotely similar to the sensations from the mushroom trip, my brain amplifies it and it can take me back to the terror and make the anxiety way worse.
So tread lightly. Do your research. Listen to people giving their experience reports. Listen to the good experiences and bad experiences, and if you decide to go ahead, dont jump in with a high dose. Start low and slow and always be sure to have a supportive person nearby who will leave you alone when you need them to, but also be there with a gentle energy when you need them to.
Mushrooms are not toxic, but they are truly intense. They will kick you in the butt if you dont respect them.
Last weekend I took 5g for the first time and smoked a hash joint at my peak and boyyyy was that a mistake. I've tripped on lower doses multiple times and took every precaution to make sure I was safe and weed always made my trips even better. But I took it too far last time and finally experienced something other than the usual breathing and objects moving in geometric patterns and feeling euphoric and beautiful. I didn't have ego death but I definitely felt like I was dying and had insane visuals like what you see in trip simulations. I had prepared for this moment for so long and when I finally got there, I was begging my trip sitter to end it. I was hoping to have some sort of epiphany about life but instead I learned that I wasn't able to handle mixing high doses of shrooms and cannabis. Maybe the near death experience would've felt more worth it if my ego had died. But if ego death is anything like what I went through then maybe I'm actually not ready for the full experience.
@@lolno98 it sounds like you were on the edge and probably having an anxiety attack in the process which probably blocked you from fully ego death. Next time I would definitely leave the weed aside if you're going to take a high dose. Make sure that you were feeling physically well and mentally well and have a good sitter. Remind yourself that you will not truly die but you will have to go into the void that presents itself to you in order to fully break through. It will feel like dying. You have to accept experiencing that if you want to truly breakthrough.
@@aprilthomas1489 well this may really not be for me. I have bad panic attacks that stem from death. I go to the er 5 or 6 times a year because I feel like I'm having a heart attack (I watched my dad die suddenly of heart attack when I was 15). My husband wants me to try a micro dose with him today, but I'm afraid it will go really wrong.
@@novocaine09 first of all I'm very sorry to hear about what happened to your father and that you had to witness it. I watched my mother die under different circumstances.
Microdosing is very different from moderate-to-high dose trips. A microdose should be no more than .1 grams. With that dose you should not actually feel any psychedelic effects. It just acts as a slight energy and mood booster. If you are going to experiment with mushrooms this is a great place to start. If you are going to do it, give yourself a little time to meditate on trusting the mushrooms and receiving their healing. They are powerful healers you just have to respect them.
@@aprilthomas1489 thank you for the fast reply! I really enjoy input from others on things I have no experience with. It helps me.not make impulsive decisions. I'm very sorry about your mother as well. Loss is never easy, no matter the circumstances ❤️. I was hoping for the mood enhancement, that's what had me interested to begin with. I wouldn't.mind going further, if I had a therapist to walk me through. I may give it a shot.
I can attest to the benefits of mushrooms on depression! I’ve always felt like I released some steam trapped in my head after having a mushroom experience 😁
I’ve also had friends who’ve micro dosed and gone on hikes and have been able to work through some really difficult stuff afterwards, not while tripping. People who have depression but don’t suffer from substance abuse. If anyone is reading this but hasn’t tried, it’s worth experimenting! 😁🍄
What about LSD?
trahouston I personally feel MORE clear headed after an LSD trip but realize that may be a lot for some people. 12 hrs is a definite commitment for an LSD trip, so I've preferred mushroom trips the last few years. I do them once or twice a year and have noticed a significant difference in my baseline emotions. Not closed off to LSD but find that mushrooms are a bit gentler. It's a good way to relax and just laugh! That sometimes makes the biggest difference when dealing with my depression. Both help me feel very grounded afterwards though 😀
It's called catharsis.
Jeez I wish I knew how to find mushrooms. I'm at wits end.
I’m a veteran and have tried many different antidepressants for my major depression. If only the VA would allow this treatment. I’m so desperate for relief and I don’t want to take ketamine.
Thank you for the information!
Incredibly clear, informative video. Thank you for defining terms and explaining the topic simply.
Omg, all my fingers crossed! A friend gave me a quarter sized piece of shroom when I was borderline suicidal after my dad passed away. I’m still reaping the benefits two years later. Don’t get me wrong, I still struggle with the depression. But-but! I can function now, and I’m no longer angry at the world. Sooooo many doors open for you when you don’t filter every single interaction as though the other person is actively attacking or wanting to attack you. That the only difference is how sneaky they are being about it. I literally came to several obvious-in-hind-site realizations: the only reason anyone would be out to get me was if it were personal to them, and that it rarely was personal for them. I started training myself to just let stuff ride, then I noticed the opportunities... and then I finally found some inner peace for the first time ever.
That's great! I'm glad you're better.

I took a 3.5G psilocybin bar for the first time last week. Suicidal thoughts I have been suppressing for years felt like they were magnify by like 100X. Now, I am no longer afraid of death. Not that I am still sucidal, but I have received alot of revelations about my life and that there's more to life if you focus on the bigger picture.
I am expecting to do my second section this week. I am excited to learn more about myself.
Your so brave. I had a bad experience and too scared to try it again ☹️
@Jeffrey John instagram gives me the willies. =p
I experiemented by taking a tiny dose of LSD, which i believe LSD works similarity to mushrooms(im not brave enough to take a lot of it)
For a week after using the mini dose, i slept well every night, barely had social anxiety, and interestingly, it reduced my addictive behavior (at the time i just was addicted to caffeine and i started reducing how much i drank of it and had less cravings)
Not saying everyone should do psychedelics but it has an interesting effect of almost resetting my brain.. i had a similar experience with MDMA. After using MDMA for about a week i was more social and cared more about spending time with my family, and i was just a nicer, more open person. These effects didn't last more then a week though, but i find it interesting. Also, thanks tracy for accepting unconventional methods of treatment. Every form of treatment should be explored, and none should be taboo, especially psychedelics because they are completely non addictive and from all of my research psychedelics are not neurotoxic whereas an every day drug like alcohol, is neurotoxic and addictive

Honestly it probably wouldn't hurt to try, lol. Low doses of mushrooms literally altered my entire negetive perception of my life at one point last year and brought me out of a deep dark hole I had dug for myself.
As soon as I started taking micro-dose amounts daily, a hand reached into the hole and pulled me out. And when I stood up out of the hole, I realized I was holding my own hand.
YOW Gyrl LoL , they do say that Silicon Valley employers and employees micro dose daily and it makes them more creative ,productive and happy at work .

I also want to note that I've never actually taken a large enough amount mushrooms to experience any psychedelic effects.
I'm a very sensitive and emotional person and have always had major over-looming anxieties when it comes to losing too much control of my thought pathways. I worry that losing that much control will lead me too far into my fears and trauma. And somehow delving deeper into trauma can be more terrifying than death itself.
But yeah, there was something about microdosing that didn't scare me. I went into it almost completely certain that there was no other way but UP at that point.
I had been suicidal for a over month and ending my life was a constant thought I was battling with in every waking moment.
The fact that I suddenly and finally became so willing to actually try something to help myself was the first step to pull myself out of that dark space, and eventually elevate my perspective back into lighter and brighter environment for my thoughts to live in.
Honestly I'm starting to dig that hole again though. A few weeks ago I got out my shovel and started prodding at the hole that the mushrooms had helped me bury up. They also helped me plant beautiful seeds on top of the soil-filled hole that let me see a lot of negetive memories, instead, as ones that allowed me to grow as a person.
But I couldn't see the beauty anymore. Everything looked like a weed. I started ripping away at some of the plants that had grown abd settled in and I couldn't stop it. The hole is becoming more and more hollow as the days pass.
Because of this I know it's about time to reconnect with my fungi friends again, and at this point, if they can once again help me fill back in my hole, I might ask them to plant themselves on top of the soil along side the positivity seeds, so I can always have their support and reassurance that life is beautiful and worth living.
(Aka, attempting to grow my own mushrooms might be in my self-care plans in the coming months if someone didn't get my creative writing metaphor. Lol)

A lot of treatment resistant depression is actually a comorbidity of ADHD, ADD, and other disfunction’s relating to the brains executive functions. It’s definitely worth checking out for some of you in the comments. Wonderful topics covered here!
It’s all trauma man. It’s all a naturally sensitive person being exposed to trauma. That’s why creative geniuses, and geniuses in general, can be very neurotic people. They are more vulnerable, that flexibility lets us absorb possibilities from the universe but loads of pain as well.
There are mushrooms that are perfectly legal, and not psychedelic, that also increase neuroplasticity.
Depression can also be treated with neurofeedback and/or meditation. But for some reason, our society prefers drugs... whether legal or not. Probably because they are lazy.
This is so TRUE!!! My depression and anxiety did not go off the charts until college and then the corporate world where you are expected to be a knowledge worker automaton. I sometimes think I would have been happier as a plumber or roofer or electrician.
@@Magnulus76 it's not lazy to want to be not depressed as soon as possible. Life is very short. No legal mushroom produces the same dramatic effect as psilocybin on depression, addiction and other disorders. It takes years of meditation to alter your brain. you're a puritan at heart. you think only difficult things are worthy. You're wrong. A genuinely compassionate person wouldn't give two shits how a person finds peace. They would want them to find it as soon as possible.
@@MimiTheHamster while in some ways it looks very similar in the brain, ADHD is not trauma. We weren’t brain damaged in early life either. We’re wired differently. Thanks
You make my whole life better Dr. Marks. Thanks for everything 😊
U really give a good name to the word “doctor”. Thank u so much. ❤🙏🏽
Magic mushrooms can prevent authoritarian views.. seems that somehow may be important and relevant in this period of history.
It would be ideal for the conservative party then
Jorgensen 2020!
@Alpha Centauri This but flip the sides. White nationalists are everywhere in power but leftism, especially in america, isn't even accepted. Leftism ultimately will lead to less authoritarianism and if you get further right you just get fascism, literally the most authoritarian and horrid ideologies, also something that Donald Trump is; a fascist
@Alpha Centauri both roads lead to the same place! And i think the 2 of you have different views because you probably live in different areas. I live in Alabama so right is "right" here. White supremacy and nationalism abound. People on the left are mocked and ridiculed. Pretty sure its the opposite in somewhere like california. 🤷 DOWN WITH THE 2-PARTY SYSTEM!!!
@Alpha Centauri It's clear you don't understand the difference between leftism and liberalism. Do a bit of research before you talk about it. Donald Trump is most definitely a fascist; calling people he doesn't agree with fake news, labelling political groups as the enemy (antifa, democrats, the media), promoting american exceptionalism, denying science, promoting white nationalism (He's literally retweeted white nationalists and neo nazis), Just look up the warning signs of fascism and Trump checks most, if not all, of those boxes. Also with the last point, how does "the left" preach against individualism?
This is all exactly how I feel on my ADHD meds (I am inattentive, apathetic, and sensory seeking; many people thought it was depression but I responded clear as day to stimulants). I feel present, relaxed, at peace, at one, part of something bigger, less pressure to perform, notice things, and enjoy meditating. Also have much better self esteem. When the meds wear off, a lot of that well-being wears off, or is harder to maintain through CBT. I used to feel guilty about my meds (that I'm an "addict," can "control it myself," or am not "severe") until I heard podcasts on Psilocybin, and think that my meds are simply mirroring what nature could have provided me.
EXCELLENT. Concise and full of important info. Subscribed!!❤
This Dr. is amazing!!!
I'm learning so much!
Psychedelics are just a really high state of awareness, and if you learn to ride the waves and love yourself and the world around you again you are going to have a blast! Play video games, watch movies, have sex, go on trails, look at trees, do art stuff, eat new things, have fun, dance, play, run, jump, etc.
Well no wonder they banned it! That's dangerous to the status quo of miserable capitalist drudgery and abuse.
I've tried it a couple of times, definitely makes you feel really good, almost hard to articulate, i mean the after effects. You just feel a lift, fresh, its all good, you go out for a walk, you get a coffee, some bread, sunny day, birds are singing, you just notice a really good feeling in you. That said though, it wont magically make your life better, your next door neighbours with the loud dog, will continue to dump the dog outside and ignore its feelings, and yours. So do yourself a favour, get the fuck away from those people. Look, the mushrooms, at a controlled dose, in the right place, at the right time, will lift your mood, make you really feel the beauty around you, no doubt, but you still have to distance yourself from toxic energy, the slamming doors and the barking dog. You're fine, its the people in your life that need mushrooms.
You know, sometimes things are not what they seem to be. I had my very healing psychedelic experience years ago, and integration still happens, and I'm super sensitive (always have been) to any outer stimulation, like loud noises for instance.
And I also share space with a dog now, because someone left on the street a puppy back in winter. I didn't plan to have a dog at all, already share space with two cats, one of them also was found on the street, but couldn't pass by.
Not only being left alone itself was traumatizing for her, It seems like she comes from a guard breed, because she barks every time she hears someone opens the door or comes too close. She is not aggressive, but sometimes, especially when she is scared or doesn't like someone, she may look aggressive to some. But people who love animals usually are accepted by her.
So my point is this: in the given context of your comment, I am that neighbor who "needs mushrooms". But I took them mindfully and expanded even more, and my dog barks not because she is not taken care of, and she lives in the house and sleeps on the bed 🐶, but because of all described above.
So sometimes what you see is not what it is. Also, I feel like humans can learn a lot from animals, because animals are not going to tolerate those they didn't like, they protect their boundaries and they respond to love easily.
I am hoping you can maybe answer my question. I am a 55yo female and I have had depression since my teens. I have been on so many antidepressants, they do not work anymore. I have become Treatment Resistant. 3 years ago I researched ECT(Electroconvulsive Therapy) or “shock therapy”. It is demonized by ridiculous movies. It is an outpatient procedure with general anesthesia. The procedure is done by your psychiatrist, anesthesiologist snd wonderful nurses. My husband takes me, waits with me and we go to breakfast afterwards. I feel so awful for how people see ECT. It has helped me tremendously. I tell lots of people now and it has really helped me to be vocal about it. Anyways, I have tried Psilocybin several times. It did absolutely nothing for me. I felt nothing, no good feelings I mean. I just got super nauseated and almost puked. Do you think I got bad mushrooms? Just wondering if you know anything about them. Are some better than others? Thank you for any reply. Aloha, love and peace peace from Hawaii. ❤️❤️❤️
@@MrSprite2005 sorry, I guess you asked not me directly, but I got notified about your comment. So I just would like to share my perspective on depression, or any other state that is labeled as "negative". If it resonates with you, great, if not, just leave it all and follow your heart. Everything has a reason, so any state, whether it's anger, hatred, jealousy, suicidal thoughts or depression are messangers that tell us very important things about us.
For example, hatred says we've been supressing our anger for years, and anger says we've been unable to protect our personal boundaries etc. Depression usually tells about dead circle in our head, where we just follow the same thought patterns, have the same bodily reactions, and see no way out. It also says we are not present in our bodies, more so in our heads. If you look at any state of yours as at friend, you become more in tune with your true self.
Probably it's not a good idea to label therapy that you mentioned as "bad", but to label depression or suicidal thoughts so is neither. And anything can be a great tool for healing, mushrooms included, but for such an intense therapy you need to be in contact with your emotions, your body and your mind already + have a clear intention of what you want before taking any psychedelics, and which is more important - take responsibility for your state. Some people think some sort of magic will happen and they get rid off their "problems" easily, after taking one dose. It's different, and magic is in how it all works. If you're ready to expand, you'll get what you're ready for. If you're not ready, nothing will happen. I talked to some people about their experiences, all they said "we were hallucinating". I was amazed at how a potentially healing process can be just a vision if a person is not ready to shift. These people in their casual life are very boxecised with their belief systems.
So if you're ready to get out of the way you perceived yourself, world and your body, mind, emotions, the change will start for you even before you take anything. Your intention is what true power is; all the rest is just helping you once your intention is set.
To take responsibility means to stop demonizing depression or any other state or thing that happen in your physical, emotional or mental body, and to start looking at it as your best friend. That shift itself will bring many changes. And if psychedelics is your tool, they will find you in the right moment. It's about trust - yourself, your life and well-being that all of your cells consist of.
I wish you inner peace, mindful joy and healing aka being whole again. 🌏☀🪐
@@iamjoy888 Oh, thank you for this lovely response. It was so sweet of you to take the time. I will look into it all more. Aloha, love and peace to you. ❤️❤️❤️
@@MrSprite2005 you're welcome! ❤🙏🌈☀🌏🌊💧
Thank you for all that you do here beautiful soul.
You are simply amazing, a shining star 🙏💜🦋
It’s crazy how connected to nature you feel when on shrooms. Everything seems to fit perfectly like a glove
I have to say as a healthcare professional you appear to be an openminded, articulate, measured and outstanding physician. i'd let you treat me any day of the week (I don't say that very often!).
I suffer from Bipolar II and decided to try shrooms 4 weeks ago. A part of me wants to believe I slipped into mania, however this feeling is different: I am motivated and consistent in my daily activities. My mood has improved drastically, and there is a sense of stability and focus. No triggers thus far, in fact my memory and anxiety is better. The mental fogginess has cleared up but not completely gone. None of this is possible during my manic episodes. My "trip" helped me tackle a lot of inner turmoil and trauma, yet I feel genuinely happier. Currently, Life actually *feels* stimulating, but time will tell! I'm not sure how long the effects will last but I am more than excited with where I am.
Xzavior X I would love to hear more updates as more time passes!
@@mollypicklesimer5906 I definitely will!
@Xzaviorx do you know what strain you used and what your dosage amount was ?
Awesome! I'm so happy for you!
It lasted a good 4 months for me, until i had an LSD trip.
Hope it lasts much longer for you!
@@Savannah1990 I used a 2 grams. But it was gradual. I started with 1 then took another 2 hours later.
I took my first dose when I was having challenges with my teenager. I felt grounded for about 6 months. My mom noticed I was more peaceful, though she didn't know about my use and my "sitter" said I spoke with more clarity and focus after we met up about 6 months later. I have been doing a lot of inner work and dealing with deep seated emotional pain, work related trauma, anxiety and depression, but I also am ready to clear my blockages and open up to new opportunities in life. I am researching the best way to use this to aid in healing and a deeper connection with myself and my life.
Her voice is so purifying
Decades of psychotherapy, and you’re the first to help me GET it. I’m someone who just needs to know “why?”
Thank you for telling us the “Why” after the “What”.
Your recordings are gifts!
I love how easily she explains things that are not easy. Great teacher. Thanks!!!
I invest in health. Emotional mental and physical. Stay amazing Doc. 🤙🏾
Very interesting and intelligent and a good communicator. Thanks.
one weekend of tripping shrooms changed me forever. i will never be the same nor forget the experience
Crazy how opoids and stimulants are like a gajillion times more addictive but schedule 2
Capitalism… pharmaceutical greed
none of these laws are about the common good.
Drug laws have always been about social control. Opium was first outlawed to control Chinese immigrants. Cannabis was outlawed to control Mexicans. LSD and mushrooms were outlawed to control the political movements with which they were entwined at the time. Today's drug policy is mostly about mitigating black political power.
The ruling class is actually very much in favor of drugs, which is why it has managed the opium market for over a century. Nixon's War on Drugs aimed at removing his gangster pals' rivals in the heroin trade. In the 80s, when Nancy Reagan was telling kids to Say No To Drugs, her husband's CIA was wholesaling cheap cocaine in US cities, birthing the crack epidemic. Undoubtedly the War in Afghanistan is at least in part about control of that region's opium production.
'The Drug War is a failure' is a very commonplace sentiment, but it's based on an error as to what the Drug War is for. The Drug War is, in fact, wildly successful. If it weren't, it wouldn't still be a thing.
yeah, the people who made these laws deserve the worst pain in life imaginable.
and benzo are even lower on the schedule. That's a fucking joke
I’ve taken 2 doses in my life, and I did feel a lasting improvement in my overall well-being.
Hi Dr. Tracey Marks 👋🏾 I love your channel!! It is very informing. I also love my brown think shirt as well.
I do them every 3 months or so with a friend .It is the only thing that has helped my depression. Venus is so beautiful at 4am in Montana .namaste
Have you tried getting to an elevated place, where you can see east and west horizons, and watch the full moon rise at the same time the sun sets? It's a favorite of mine.
@@pmczapczara5332 I love that .Last time I tripped on shrooms I was standing outside with my face to the darkness I don't know how long but I got vertigo real bad I perforated my ear a few days prior when I took my eyes back to normal posture I got serious spins nauseous I walked sideways for a week .lol I thought I was dying but my friend helped me .She's pretty funny .Sitting or laying on a lawn chair would have been great.but it was out in the country and I was kinda scared. Lots of spiders bugs varmints.Ot was so dark though I love that.Lots of things to see up one dark sky.
@@twistedthrifterb6220 lived in mountainous places for so long, I never knew that the moonrise and sunset occurred at the same time until 2016 ! Outside is definitely a must for those particular times, inside is just too confined.
"Psychedelic" means "mind opening".... Psychedelic drugs do not necessarily make one hallucinate.
I like to call them visual distortions!
Agreed!
I've ate shrooms many many times. Never had hallucinations. It will put you in an amazing mental state. Thats about it.🤷♂️😎
@@skutts if you take a heroic dose which is about 8 grams or more you most likely will
You control the hallucinations with your own mind, so you're in charge if you want to experience them or not.
Mushrooms have been a pretty amazing thing in my life but also a huge detriment. Chronic use of edible THC and magic mushrooms contributed to my episode of paranoid delusions which landed me in the psych ward. My advice is if you're going to do psychedelics, do them sparingly, not chronically
@katherine jones Is that legal?
@katherine jones don’t see how they are selling? Message them?
Are they shadow banned? I can’t find the profile.
Oh shit, you mean a lot of a thing can be bad?
Yep I used to trip a lot and the last time I did I had a psychotic episode and my mental health has been in tatters since. Moderation is definitely the key
This video is wonderful - thank you, Tracey. And I have to say, I love it just as much for the viewer comments as for the information it contains. I am not clinically depressed at this time, but I have a strong interest in taking psilocybin for emotional and spiritual growth. With the rise in authoritarianism the world is currently experiencing, it seems that it’s the very compound we desperately need. I look forward to the day when psychedelic use is decriminalized and the “magic” in psilocybin mushrooms makes its way into the mainstream.
*Foleytrip* got some good magic mushrooms including other psychedelic
You can reach out to them
If interested in getting that
Oh my gosh....how timely is your video. I suffer from Bipolar 2 ... and my last depression lasted years. Years of no hope. Years of no life. Years of wanting to die, but not wanting my adult daughter to suffer knowing her mother killed herself. I am not a person to take illicit drugs, but when you have no hope, sometimes you'll try something new. I microdosed mushrooms twice a couple of weeks ago in desperation and this morning I woke up feeling content and looking forward to my day. It's been decades since I've felt this way. No mania, I just feel like what I imagined 'normal' people feel. I've even started to clean my pigsty of a home that I wasn't able to muster enough energy until now. Thank you for this video :)
You’re welcome and thanks for sharing your experience 😊
How did you microdose?
I love mushrooms. I get them twice a year, and they really are magic. One small dose, about 1.5 grams, and it kills my anxiety for months. Plus it's a really fun experience. You're going to laugh uncontrollably and you'll have an ear to ear grin for a week.
I honestly have no idea why they are illegal, because they are one of the most harmless things on earth.
I made an order from phillip_shrooms On IG now my whole life feels new again. No more depression and Anxiety. he's really good.
how bad was your anxiety?
What is ear to ear grin?
But some people experience not laugh but death experience...
Where can I purchase?
Concise and informative cheers Dr T
I am, ADHD, manic depression and anxiety and bipolar. Microdosing has changed my life and I’m only on month 2. Thank you, I just sent this to my mother
