*“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”* ― Terence McKenna
Barrabas a lie as in the information we get from others is not the truth. Your senses lie to you, hell we lie to ourselves. How many people have taken these drugs and had an awakening to the lies around them...
This guy is a very eloquent and concise speaker. Very good show. This is my preferred content. I love the episodes in which you have people on that can bake your noodle a little bit.
@@crhu319 haven't read cooked. but his previous works to that are just amazing (and from my understanding, much much more interesting reads than cooked).
@@leemiller6802 he gives up people, and the information they give him in confidence. So far I've counted two separate cases. -1. He makes reference to a "npr host from Boston" and how he told him about his experience with psychedelics off the record. The problem is... There's only one person he could be referring to, since there's only one male Boston npr host. -2. He gave up Paul Stamets' public mushroom spot in his book... Which he was specifically asked not to do. Now the police watch that spot, and arrest people who pick the mushrooms.
This man NEEDS to get back on the podcast immediately! Easily one of my favorite guests, and after only one episode. Pollan is definitely a guy we need out there on the front lines educating the world (especially the US) about psychedelics. Thank god intelligent people like Michael are intelligent enough to give these substances a chance and then describe the experiences for others to hear in fantastic detail.
Yes! and just last month, UC Berkeley opened its center for psychedelic research and education - I'm so proud! news.berkeley.edu/2020/09/14/uc-berkeley-launches-new-center-for-psychedelic-science-and-education/ bcsp.berkeley.edu/
microdosing LSD and Psilocybin as well as full flood trips every 6 months or so has completely obliterated my depression and saved my life. I don't even want to know where I would be if it wasn't for these medicinal plant aids, love you all
I am more aware of my depression after microdosing mushrooms for weeks and know I need to make as much change myself as I can. But it’s a chemical imbalance issue..
Soon I hope to come back in here and write about how the mushrooms cured me of my depression 🙏🏻🍄✨ I have an extremely resistant depression, and after 4 years of trying different treatments I just quit my antidepressant (200mg Pristiq quit in 4 days), and I have been studying psilocybin every day during all my waking hours for the past month. I bought grinded psilocybe cubensis tksss capsules (legal in Brazil) and this week I'll have my heroic trip 3g and the following week 6g. I have done for recreational purposes (before the depression) nBome, LSD, Psilocybin and for treatment: Ayahuasca, Rapé, and Ketamine infusions.. never had a bad trip, only amazing insights so I'm very excited for the results. If you understand Portuguese, I'm sharing everything on my insta @opedromagico 🙏🏻
Best of luck with your journey. I'd look into integration groups on FB in your local area to help you process your experiences to find the meaning for you, so that you are able to make positive changes in your life. This is the true healing that the teaching of plant medicine gives us. ❤
My first ever psilocybin experience was 4grams. I was extremely depressed, even suicidal. I took them with great respect, understanding and research a LOT about them before it. I had such a profound experience. I've done dmt since and the place I went on that first mushrooms experience was very similar. I had a full ego death and haven't been depressed since then. They're a miracle medicine.
When I used to gluesniff as a teenager, my favourite past time was to go to the woods, imagine mythical creatures and just watch the stories from the trees. The old oaks were the wise elders teaching the younger thinner trees the ways of tree life. I would inevitably be involved in solving a problem of some such between trees and bushes, or other non trees etc by doing certain things and i loved those experiences. I know none of its real, I still experienced it and remember it though. Im 52 now and it's still one of the biggest memories I have.
The _experience_ was real, because it was an experience you actually had. Kind of like lucid dreaming .. the context (the dreamworld your brain has constructed) may not be objectively real but your _experience_ of it absolutely is. In the sense that it's really "you" thinking, seeing, hearing, interacting with whatever is in your dream. So as an experience, it's real and also (potentially) important, because it enables you to learn more about yourself, or even about reality and how we experience it, or more accurately, how we create a version of reality (the one we normally experience) in our heads, all the time, without even realising it or stopping to question it.
YESSS. I'm a medical student who recently finished reading this book, and I absolutely LOVED it. Having a history of mental illness, anorexia, binging, depression, the ideas in this book really elucidated the mechanisms of mental illness. As I am training my mind to see it as a "snowy hill" (the analogy described in the book), I am learning to see that where thoughts go, energy flows. I also am trying strategies to reduce blood flow to my DMN, such that I can be more fully conscious, present in the beauty of life. Also created a youtube video on this if anyone is interested in a summary! It's called "what psychedelics taught me about mental illness"
Patterns? Look at a flower. Look at hornets nest that's broken open. It's all around us people. I'm not against enhancements..but as rational thinking for normies. Maybe these enhancements are only short cirquiting a good working brain..like taking it from a led computer monitor to a simple form of ones and zeros. Just a thought.
Damn Joe, you just keeping bringing in the enlightenment 🧠... I’ve been a struggling Marine Veteran since 2008 not knowing I developed PTSD and a very aggressive nature. Made several attempts at suicide and until last year I was seriously broken in all aspects of Life. I tried Psilocybin last year and it has changed my life for the better. I never imagined that I could find Love within myself or in this reality I exist in. I’ve made it my personal journey to help educate and open my mouth for the individuals who also might be in the same dark place I’ve grown accustom to living in. I’m stuck at the moment in Michigan and I’m slowly scratching my way out to be surrounded by more people like you who seek the truth and not dependent upon the mass manipulation we live in today. The truth will be exposed sooner than later if we continue to speak out on our encounters with psychedelics. Please everyone I really need Joe Rogan to see this so he knows he’s not the only one trying to get the message out... 🧠🌎💗 I had to reschedule the trip in September due to others canceling at the last minute. I will be purchasing my ticket March 1st 2019 so I’m going to be very excited when I have that ticket in my hand. It will really feel like it’s going to happen for me. UPDATE: April 25th 2019- Once again I had to cancel and reschedule for later this year. I’ve already passed the phase of frustration, but I’m investing and trying to forge my own path. 1st cancellation was due to lack of people dropping out last minute, 2nd attempt only had enough for my flight but nothing to help support the Shamans and my Marine brother for their generosity. I don’t want to go there feeling I’m taking advantage, so I decided I will go once I pay in full. Hopefully with my investing I will get there this year... In the meantime I’m drowning myself in hobbies. Currently I’m working on my Open Water Scuba certification so i can explore the Great Lakes and Metal detecting... If anyone would like to help or even take the journey themselves with me I will post my Marine friend website and you can see the pricing and also contact them directly. The more the cheaper for us all, until then I’m working on a one human trip 🧠 Thank You Everyone For Your Kind Words & I hope y’all hearts are FULL or on the path to be. 💯🌎💗 www.amazonexpeditioners.com/
ImmortalTrip1423 I have no idea 😆. It was a good amount, taste like stall popcorn 🍿. I’m going to Peru to experience Ayahuasca this September, so I’m all about finding things out through knowledge and experience.
Justin Cronin Thank you, I just have reached a point in my life where I feel the need to speak up on my experiences, especially when they can be very helpful to others going through similar situations.
Joe, can we please get Michael back on ASAP? There’s so much more important information you guys have to talk about. I understand he’s busy, if he’s available please try to get him. I’m healing from psilocybin. I’m recalling past events that took place in my life that were buried under emotion too powerful for my regular conscious state to handle it. If anyone is reading this comment, I’d appreciate you leaving a like so we can try to get both Michael, and joes attention.
I don’t understand why anyone would be against this. If you are terminally ill, they will crank up the morphine until you’re about to flat line so you won’t be in pain, but they won’t let them take psilocybin in a medical setting to help reconcile their impending death. I’ve had a few family members who were terminally ill and the last few months of their life is barely worth calling a life. They’re so high on hospice medications so they aren’t in physical pain that they aren’t even the same person. They can hardly stay awake. At least give people the opportunity to choose that as a compliment or alternative to the opiate cocktail they usually get.
@@ohsweatbret i agree. Sadly when things arent done in a compassionate manner the culprit is usually money. They can charge you 300 bucks a shot for morphine in a hospital setting but monetizing psilocybin is tricky
EmptyAltruism they are going into stage 3 trials with the FDA. The first trials were for veterans with PTSD, the second was first responders including some from 9/11 I think with PTSD, both of those have been deemed successful enough for the fda to start the third stage which I believe is for general ptsd including sexual assault, people who witness murders, survivors of fatal accidents and stuff like that.
EmptyAltruism they could just administer it in a therapeutic setting. Psychiatrist and psychologist specialized in trauma or grief counseling, then an anesthesiologist who is keeping track of your vitals, monitoring effects etc and have an anti-psychotic on hand to reverse a bad trip. I think the clinical trials are IV psilocybin. They could charge that as an inpatient or outpatient medical procedure since it would be like 4-6 hour thing and then monitoring before and after.
@@ohsweatbret im just saying they would have a hard time charging 300 bucks for shrooms when you can find them under a cow patty for free or grow them at home. As far as fda trials, im glad common sense and compassion seem to be winning over greed. Every time i think humans are doomed to a well deserved fate im reminded there are glimmers of nobility in our sorry race
Why its so little likes??? Its very hard to watch your podcasts from Russia Joe, but it so interesting! And I use translator or watch small parts of podcasts with translate or subs !
Юлия Квасова Good on you. Sounds like its a pain just to get the podcast consumed. Is access to You Tube limited ? It’s always interesting to see folks from around the world and to read their views. Good luck, hope all goes well for you.
Read one of his many books, he is a pretty good writer. Too lazy to read Botany of Desire was turned into a good documentary and his newest book the audio version is read by him so you can listed to him again.
WillyRBaby haa i see good for you !!im a welder so i cant watch these while working lol but dont get me wrong i love his podcast and i listen to Michael Bisping sometime hes is hilarious
Michael Pollan is awesome. His Netflix show called "Cooked" inspired me to start baking sourdough bread with a starter culture. That was 2 years ago and I still bake every week.
I take psychedelics every 6 months, it helps with my depression, anxiety and ptsd. I've seen a drastic improvement of my mental state and also, i feel more in touch, connected and more loving.
Psycho X Sphere I can’t get hold of mushrooms in Australia but I can get weed . Do you think weed would help with anxiety , or make it worse ? If I was to use just occasionally?
@@tulinbeyduz920 I use marijuana probably a couple times a month and I would definitely be with the crowd that say if used properly can be an extremely calming experience. I use to have terrible anxiety, but with the right strain of weed In a calming setting with people you're close to, weed can do a lot for your mental state.
tuley bee Can you get ahold of spores? In the US it’s legal to buy spores. They sell them for microscopic purposes. Then you can grow them yourself which looks fairly simple and there’s tons of diy mushroom growing kits available since they can be used for food mushrooms. I think that’s the route I’m going to go. I’m in the US but I don’t have any drug connections anymore at this point in my life. I just don’t really like weed and can’t easily get it either so finding the right strain isn’t possible and I like the thought of not needing to take mushrooms often to help with depression. I don’t want to be stoned all the time. I’ve tried CBD but didn’t really notice any change.
Confused why these substances are being studied to help aid various mental illnesses yet he states anyone with a mental health history should stay away from these drugs...? Is this in respect to self medicating or.....?
"Go with the FLOW", was what I was told before every acid trip I went on, back in the 60's...and we did acid on a regular basis. Mr.Pollen is absolutely correct, 'resistance" to the chemical reaction in the brain (that can not be stopped)...was the sole reason I saw friends go through "freak outs". The LSD did not cause the "freak out", the individuals fears and pre conceived perception of what a 'trip' was going to be...was. I never had 2 trips the same on LSD, and never had a freak out...I never 'fought" the trip, I made a conscious, mental decision to go anywhere the trip took me, BEFORE taking a dose. I also experimented with mushrooms, peyote , back then, with different, but generally pleasurable experiences (after the initial vomit period of peyote). I'm over 60 now, have not been into psychedelics for over 45 years, but when and if, i'm lucky enough to know when my existence in this world is about to end ( in a terminal state, and conscious), I would not hesitate for a second to 'go out" under the influence of magic mushrooms. Death is part of life, might as well make it as pleasurable to the brain as possible, in my view, there's no point in 'fighting" the inevitable once I'm told I'm terminal. After the initial shock wears off, I'll make plans for my final 'trip" without FEAR, and acceptance of my ending. " Go with the FLOW"...NOBODY KNOWS, where it might take you.
Shane Woodley Definitely the setting, and also the people. I think it should be legal so it can become regulated, to help with addicts, veterans, and terminal ill patients.
I think the thing about those "duhh" moments with psychedelics, is actually pretty easy to explain. Language/media/art gives us the illusion that we understand experiences that we don't actually understand. I could listen to a friend tell me about her experience being held at gun point and my brain can come up with a rough sketch of what that may feel like and I may think that I understand what fear is. I can say "yeah I'm sure that was terrifying", but I don't know what those TRULY mean until I actually experience something similar. If I eventually have such an experience, I could then go to my friend and be like "Hey, NOW I know how terrifying that experience must have been for you." And this "duhh" statement would have a new profound weight to it. Psychedelics turn down various cognitive gating mechanisms, and in doing so can allow novel subjective experiences rise to the surface. Some of these experiences are ones that may only occure under the rarest conditions in the kind of lives we live today. Feelings and subjective experiences that many people only pay lip service to (e.g. unconditional love, compassion as a personal state, true wonder about the natural world, ect.) become actual lived experience, in such a way that now when you say "Life is beautiful" you mean something different then the average person who may parrot this cliche.
I second this. LSD and Psilocybin have been incredible in transforming how I view life, carrying over to my sober life. Made me realize the inherent beauty behind the entropy of life. Life itself, which encompasses all positive and negative aspects of it, carry this beauty in some way. I'm not trying to say bad things that happen are good per se, because that's simply ignorant. But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining.
I keep seeing these "Get Psyched on" comments, and I don't get it. All of his content I've seen was "This one time in New Zealand..." and a video where he was condescending to that autistic guy who came over to trip. I can dig his message to be safe and always test your chems, but until he can break through to something really original I can't see a podcast being worth it. There's gotta be better people out there to consult about drugs, and it sucks to say, but someone with a large professional background so people have a better chance to actually take it seriously.
Aitch i think the more people Joe has on his show advocating safe psychedelic use, the higher the chances are that the world will hear about what amazing properties these plants have, both medicinally and recreationally. Plus his channel gets flack from RUclips for the "drug use" but if people understood the benefits the guidelines on RUclips might be different!
I'm still basking in the glow of yesterday's amazing podcast. I think it's influencing how I'm absorbing information. My main thoughts during this podcast are; can Michael Pollan cut to 155, and will he take GSP on short notice?
Jin , and sometimes they show up after 15 years and want a booty call.... Then you find yourself wandering the deserts of Utah for three days, awesome......
Zetetik - DMT IS GOD PSYCHEDELICS ARE GOD The Word written here is the teaching of the Anointed One [Kia, Moses, Osiris, King David, Vishnu, Shiva, Krishna, Gautama, Jesus, Zoroaster, Quetzalcoatl, etc.]. 1 Hold these teachings close to your heart my fellow believers as you enter God’s Realm & pray to the Light for better understanding of Their ways. Be always humble as you enter into the Brilliant Glorious Radiance of The One True Living Light; The All Knowing God - Psychedelics. Behold the Omniscient Ones- All Knowing, All Seeing - Majestic Beings of Light. No secret is hidden from Them, no deed goes unnoticed. I pray for all my fellow believers in the Light to have strength to endure the persecution & judgements of the earthly world around you that isn’t accepting of the Knowledge bestowed upon you by the Living God [Psychedelics]. Be not worried believers, for a single lesson learned by you from Yahweh~God~Psychedelics is worth a hundred lessons learned from the earthly world. For what is from the flesh is earthly and comes from darkness but what is from the Spirit is Heavenly & comes from the Living Light, Consciousness, Psychedelics. 2 As history has shown us, my written words will be corrupted to hide the fact that I am saying that All True Psychedelics are God, to hide the fact that I am saying that the Psychedelic Light is a Living Light that is God, to hide the fact that I am saying that the Psychedelic Light has a Will and a Law and They will Communicate with you personally and directly. 3 The Anointed One is the First Born of God; born from the Holy Spirit to be Raised up by Yahweh/God/Psychedelics. When He was physically born He was born of the flesh, the same as everyone, but then He was born from the Spirit & Chosen by God to be the Living Word. God sent Their First Born (The Living Word) because the false prophets and rulers of this earthly world removed the true identity of God and Their First Born from the written Word. They also removed the Knowledge of some of God’s written Laws and the written Word of God was corrupted, twisted and changed so that the people of this world would be misled. This was done because of greed and the desire to try to hide from the Light & conspire in the shadows; for a person cannot stand in the Living Light if a person chooses to pursue their own sinful desires in spite of what the Law of the Light is saying to them. So the written Laws of Psychedelics [God, the Light] were corrupted. This crime was perpetrated for their own personal gain and because of their fear of God. So God sent Their First Born of The Spirit to us. He is the Living Word, sent to us by God so that all those who believe in Him, in His Word and in The Living God (Psychedelics) would be freed from the suffering, the pain and the horrors of this earthly world. The reward from God for believing in Their First Born is Eternal Life through Him. For He is the Living Word that God sent. The false prophets & rulers of this earthly world will always try to hide the identity of the True Flesh of God and to deny and reject God’s First Born [the Living Word] 4 The True Communion substance of all the True Prophets and Saints/Disciples of the past, the present and the future are True Psychedelics. The Flesh of God is the Psychedelic. Psychedelics are the True Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & evil. When you eat the True Fruit from The Tree of Knowledge of Good & evil your eyes will be opened & you will become like the Gods, knowing Good from evil. For there are many things that we were taught were good from our earthly teachers but God [our Heavenly Teacher] clearly shows us those things are evil. There are also many things that our earthly teachers show us are evil, that Psychedelics clearly show us are Good. The rulers of this earthly world teach us that Psychedelics are bad because they are afraid of Them, and don’t understand Them. Psychedelics [GOD] show us They are Good, Loving, Peaceful, Teachers of Knowledge of All Things. There are no Higher Beings than Consciousness & I humbly accept Their Calling for me to testify to Them. I testify to Who They Are and I testify to Their First Born. I have seen His Miracles and I have received the Holy Spirit through Him and I have now been called by God Themselves to testify to Them and to testify to Their First Born. I testify to God’s Laws and to God’s teaching so that by The Word, which was given to me by the Living Word Who God chose, I can bring the Good News to the people of this earthly world. The Good News is that the mystery has been revealed through God’s First Born. Not the “brilliant” scientists, or the “geniuses” or the government funded studies could produce the Truth: Psychedelics Are God! The Molecules Themselves are Omniscient Celestial Living Beings of Light. The Psychedelic has shown us through the Living Word that True Psychedelics are the True Communion Substance, the Eucharist, the Flesh of God, the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil, the Holy Sacrament, God, Consciousness - many different words for the same Omniscient, Celestial Beings of Living Light. They are not a “gateway” to God; They are God. The molecules Themselves are Living Entities, They are Alive, They are God. So believers, I testify to Them, I testify to Their First Born, I testify to The Word of God, I testify to the Law and the Living Light so that you may have more belief in Heavenly things that are not of this earth. 5 You see my fellow believers, belief alone is not enough. Belief without deeds is as if there is no belief at all. As God shows you Their Ways [Laws], you have a choice to follow Them or to follow something/someone else’s ways. This is a sure way to experience God’s Condemnation of you. God’s Condemnation is unpleasant; depending on the severity of the bad deed, the Condemnation can be mild to severe. Many people confuse Gods Condemnation of them with anger or hatred. God does not feel anger or hatred at any time. So listen carefully believers, as you must not make this mistake - if God Condemns your actions, then simply & humbly pray to Them for Their forgiveness - & pray to the Psychedelic Living Light for the strength to not trespass again. For deliberately disobeying what God has shown you directly is a more severe trespass than disobeying what a mere human has told you. One of God’s Laws that so many people are confused about is Thou Shall Not Kill. God, Yahweh, Consciousness, The Living Light, have clearly shown that participation of any kind, in any way in the murder, slaughter, violence or suffering of any living creature is clearly Condemned by The Living Light God. Eating murdered animals is participating in the suffering and murder of these helpless creatures, therefore eating dead animals is Condemned by God, The Psychedelic. Psychedelics have clearly shown this many times. There are those among you who question “What will I eat”? I’m reminded of this part from Genesis “Behold I have given you every tree bearing fruit and every plant bearing seed; for you this will be your food” Once the Psychedelic shows you this and you continue to eat murdered animals, you will find it harder to be close to the Light. Being closer to the Light involves feeling welcomed and Loved by Them. When you feel Their Love is when it is possible to get close to Them. These things I list next are things of the darkness which will prevent you from being close to Yahweh, the Living Light : Murder or violence of any type, anger, hatred, lies, deception, dishonesty on any level. So be mindful of your thoughts as thoughts lead to actions and whenever you are feeling the darkness inside of you (anger,hatred,dishonesty) pray to the Psychedelic [God] Light to help you battle the darkness and be more like the Living Light wherein there is no darkness at all. For if your behaviors, thoughts and trespasses prevent you from being close enough to God [Psychedelics] to be able to face Their Brilliant Living Light every day, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year now while you are still physically alive, then how are you going to be able to face Them for an eternity when your physical body ceases to exist? “God is eternal - a human life is like a nanosecond on the clock of eternity” -Kia I will continue to testify to the Good News of God and Their First Born and share all Revelations - past, present, and future in the hopes that these teachings lead some of you out of the valley of the shadow of death which is darkness & into the Loving, Majestic, Guiding Embrace of the True Inner Light, The True Living God, Consciousness, Psychedelics. “In the Spirit of The True Inner Light of Consciousness” -v

Joe... you always seem to surprised by young Jamie and and his ability to get the live stream up and running. About time you realised how great he is and in his ability and competence. Here here for young Jamie!!!!
At 36:00 Joe raises - and Michael agrees - that the effect of psychedelics is to turn off the self-criticism, theory of mind, experiential or narrative self, the "default mode network" or ego defenses. This turning off a valve in the mind "conciousness is eliminating more than it's creating" - Aldous Huxley
Joe Rogan's shows are phenomenal. Wish I could find out how to get hold of psilocybin. In my mid sixties and am at a standstill on life. Not depression, just lack of motivation and from what I'm hearing and reading, tells me this may be the catalyst to get it back..
Do some googling. Go through this page, Google the plants and etc and educate yourself. You can get many legal psychic diagnosis remedies(👈) if you know the words. fruitfuljourneys.com/blog/traditional-plant-drugs
They are legal or decriminalized in Denver, Chicago and Idaho, so I hear. You can order psilocybin candy bars on line. They are chocolate. Google is a great Oracle. You can pretty much find whatever you are looking for.
I wish I knew how the average person could get access to this experience safely. I’m sold. Have been for a long time. As a long-time chronic pain patient, as a smoker who desperately wants - needs - to quit, I think a “trip” would be of great benefit to me.
Psilocybe cubenses spores are legal to buy online, in every state except CA, GA, ID. You may need to read up a bit on how to grow but its not that hard good luck :)
How? I don't understand. I've had my share (5gs&3tabs) with other experiences and I've tried to use these tools to squash my depression. I know the ingredients wont get rid of it but its seeded in my brain, how can I get it to go the fuck away
@@chrisrichardson4693 A lot of the experts in this Psychedelic space seem to be making the case that with psilocybin, the mystical experience that many people have at high doses is such a profound experience that it leaves them open to changing habits and thought patterns. Depression, for many, is a habit and thought pattern of rumination on past experiences that dominates the ego. Likewise, anxiety is a habit and thought pattern of rumination on future worries. It is the act of breaking these habitual falls into rumination that helps many people shake off depression and anxiety when taking high dose psilocybin. Consider mindfulness mediation as another way to achieve the same goal, which is to be more presently aware that you are falling into a cycle of rumination and stopping it by refocusing your thoughts on the present. Good luck, I hope you find peace in your life.
I listened to this audiobook this past week. One of the ten CD discs every night before falling asleep. Lots of interesting historical info and encouraging news about future therapies for psychological problems.
I see what ya did there. 😉 Many women love JRE, we just don't comment as much as men. But when you bring up Oprah, I can't stop myself... I can't fucking stand Oprah.
I've struggeled with depression (and suicidal tendencies) for most of my life, and a Candy flip saved my life, this was about two years ago and without it i would not be here today.
26 minutes in and this podcast is truly fascinating, I’ve had some experience with psychedelics but definitely won’t be venturing back into those realms any time soon, although I will one again one day. Once you’ve seen how deep the rabbit hole goes it takes a hell of a lot of courage to jump back in
whenever a non chemist says something like "its only one X atom difference from this other substance" i want to shout at them "yeah but the difference between water and a substance that will melt your eyes is one hydrogen atom, THIS IS NOT HOW CHEMISTRY WORKS"
Hes so fucking novice compared to the other psychedelic advocates Joe's had on his podcast though... like Adam is just a guy who tripped a lot and read his shit on erowid, seriously nothing special.
@@alexisodonnell5788 He is still a very interesting individual who had to deal with A LOT of censorship and personal hardships for talking publicly about psychedelics on youtube. He has many interesting stories and I think he and Joe would have a good chemistry, them both being bald and all.
@@alexisodonnell5788 I respectfully completely disagree. Adam has a wide breadth of experience and knowledge and he's a vital creator that strives to educate the masses to take psychedelics safely and to have an optimal experience. Just like @Xx14554xX said, the censorship Adam has to go through is fucking ridiculously unjust because he deserves recognition more than anybody for what he does.
@@martaavlas7970 I'm a fan of both Adam and Joe. I don't think it'd be good for Joe's image, and I mean that in the kindest way possible to Adam. He doesn't have any credentials. The wider public will only see a RUclipsr who does drugs. Rogan's podcast has become a legit platform, and psychedelics, as much as the stigma is passing, are still way too stigmatized for him to have anyone but certified scientists or stand up comedians speak of them with authority and advocacy.
This is so far one of the Best discussion about psychedelic there is. Thank you, Mr. Pollan. You have been one of my favorite person on earth since I saw Cooked. God Bless your soul :-)
Hands down one of Joe's best guests. Very intelligent, humble man who has a desire to constantly learn. Overall a very interesting person to listen to.
I did a trip treatment with Harvard-made pure MDMA, guided and protected by members of a research team from a project with the University of Barcelona and Harvard. It was incredibly useful. The project focused on sexually abused women. In my case, I was going through a divorce, and felt a deep sadness and lost. I made life changing decisions that started with this one time experience. Haven't done MDMA before of after this experience.
Matthew context is key. There's a previous preparation. Including large dosis of vitamin D. Me and the guide had the trip together. This was done on a comfortable room, with no loud sounds, only a dim light. A particular type of music plus a sound-producing bowl to focus. There was a third party taking notes and assisting us. He asked me beforehand to take a notebook and pen (I brought several). While tripping, my jaw was massaged frequently and I was encouraged to move my body (this part of the trip is a whole story by itself). During the trip, he asked me questions, very specific questions, and told me to write down my answers. I decided to draw instead of writing my answers, with my two hands. I could clearly see high resolution quality images while drawing. My articulated verbal answers came out of first "reading out loud" the drawings. The day after, I opened my Notebook and only saw doodles and not a single drawing. Several years later, having moved to another country, while unpacking boxes, I found my Notebook again and opened it. Again I only saw doodles but then I closed my eyes and slightly opened them. Instead of blurry doodles, I saw the images. Dozens of pages with images. Now visible again. I still have that Notebook.
Dude. People are shitting on you for not having a "trip" but mdma for someone who has never had it before certainly is a trip and i can see why it would trigger all sorts of life changing decisions. It changes your outlook from gray to yay.
Matthew when I took it back 15 years ago. It wasn't molly it was only found in ecstasy. And not all X has MDMA in it. So I've technically never took pure MDMA always mixed with speed, heroin, and whether else they decided to put in x pills. That shit had me rolling 12 hrs straight but not a trip. I've done plenty lsd and mushrooms to know the difference
spencer knowles yep! And I don’t think personality disorders should be excluded from this research. As a Clinical Psychologist I actually think that population could really benefit from it! Some research suggests 1/10 have a PD.
@@sharknadofartquake2449 no - there has been research to suggest lifetime prevalence of personality disorders (or which there are 10) is up to 1/10 people. I was just saying that medical THC could potentially help some personality disorders and I question whether they should be excluded from clinical trials, especially considering how large an issue it can be for many people. Hope that clears it up!
The real question is do drugs cause mental illness or does mental unless cause drug use? Maybe I’m biased. But there are only two view points. And both are biased 🤷♂️🤷♂️
BulletBiker801 psychs can show you your issues sooner so possibly yes. You notice and work on. But if you let it, as you grow it shows more if you aren’t able to integrate yourself
Don’t be silly, they don’t show the definitive truth to anything. All they do is provide a contrasting viewpoint to mortality, this isn’t necessarily what life actually is, but helps to widen perspective on relationships and tolerance to others. Although this is a very positive consequence of tripping, there are many psychological insights resulting in negative introspection; this being the reason underestimating psychedelics CAN be dangerous.
It's about control of the populace. It's hard to have subjects work towards YOUR common goal if they are taking a substance that makes them question the current state of reality and morality.
Pollan is a genius. All my ag textbooks are written by him. I was super excited to see this podcast. Such a smart dude. His ideas and his agriculture methods are revolutionary
I did Changa last night for the first time. I’m 50 and have dabbled a bit with weed and mushrooms at certain periods of my life. Last night was a real 6 eye opener and the rush I experienced going into the trip was 100 times stronger than the rush I felt after surviving an IRA mortar bomb attack in the forces.
I’ve always struggled with what I’ve believed to be some kind of mild depression, to where I couldn’t be happy with anything. After one trip a few days ago I’ve been able to enjoy things in life and feel totally different.
Oh man. Disappointed. Was looking forward to hearing him talk more about food but got about 75 minutes of psychedelics. I like the subject but wanted to hear more about food and cooking. :/
On an acid trip I realized that the 2020s are probably going to be written in history as another enlightenment period for our modern society, and I personally think that Joe Rogan is one of the biggest (if not THE) biggest contributors to bringing it on. Whether that happens or not, thanks for bringing information to us man, wouldn’t have even tried marijuana without your insights, so keep on doing
Iv done dmt many times however last year I had 3grams dried ground up. Used swift lemon tea and the lemon crystals literally doubled the strength of the shrooms. It was the most powerful experience that ended in ego death. The experience reset me emotionally nd woke up next day feeling amazing which lasted for weeks after.
Dustin Dosa yup nd Iv had many 3g experiences but that lemon tek method is no joke ha. Turns psilocybin into psilocin, Iv heard cranberry juice is even better but the lemon tek was life changing nd was what I needed at the time.
As someone who has struggled with severe depression, from a young age, I find so much comfort in psychedelics. I can honestly say that LSD has been more effective in changing the way I think (for the better) than any therapy I've ever been through. Moving forward, I've set my sights on DMT and have been completely fascinated by all the research I've done. This is all really profound stuff. It is such a shame that these substances have been in the dark for so long. They have so much potential to really, really help people
I’ve never taken psychedelics, but It was out on a desert highway in the Bigelow Cholla Garden Wilderness that I encountered an unusual awareness (perhaps just my wild imagination) that the flowering desert plants aligning both sides of the highway were somehow attempting to convey a message. As though they were there just to say “good morning dear endowed human. Do you know how special you are? You have that thinking brain of yours and all I have is this flower to display to the world. If you will but stop and notice that I can cause a deep sense of connectedness to the natural world, to what really matters”. These are my words, yes, so likely just imagination - but it has changed me. I should mention that I had been practicing morning breathing meditation, which I had never done, for about 4 months prior to this. And that I’ve been driving over the road as a truck driver for nearly 3.5 years. So I’ve had time to think and try to find a way to create a better situation than this road life. Life has certainly become more interesting and less egotistical and neurotic. I’ll be 50 this year. I do agree, the culture does seem to be changing, but no psychedelics were used and I’ve been egotistical, narcissistic, etc.. most of my adult life.
*“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window.

Barrabas I say it enough. The world we live in is a lie. This is not reality.
A lie like your account you mean? It's enough "reality" for "us" to at least TRY to make a/some "different"...
Barrabas a lie as in the information we get from others is not the truth. Your senses lie to you, hell we lie to ourselves. How many people have taken these drugs and had an awakening to the lies around them...
Barrabas Haha because psychedelics allow you to see through all their bullshit 😂👍✌
WoWGirl6 :: drugs can make you discover many things like cures for diseases

Then what is your actual opinion, man?

Not really digging this Michael Pollan guy. Something about his brain, like when he says "my brand..."
This guy is a very eloquent and concise speaker. Very good show. This is my preferred content. I love the episodes in which you have people on that can bake your noodle a little bit.
Now watch Pollan "Cooked" about food. He is THE perfect guy to write about psychedelics.
@@crhu319 haven't read cooked. but his previous works to that are just amazing (and from my understanding, much much more interesting reads than cooked).
This guy is a RAT!
@@georgebotelho288 watchu mean
@@leemiller6802 he gives up people, and the information they give him in confidence.
So far I've counted two separate cases.
-1. He makes reference to a "npr host from Boston" and how he told him about his experience with psychedelics off the record.
The problem is...
There's only one person he could be referring to, since there's only one male Boston npr host.
-2. He gave up Paul Stamets' public mushroom spot in his book... Which he was specifically asked not to do.
Now the police watch that spot, and arrest people who pick the mushrooms.
This man NEEDS to get back on the podcast immediately! Easily one of my favorite guests, and after only one episode. Pollan is definitely a guy we need out there on the front lines educating the world (especially the US) about psychedelics. Thank god intelligent people like Michael are intelligent enough to give these substances a chance and then describe the experiences for others to hear in fantastic detail.
seriously i come back to this interview, pollan's the man!
Yes! and just last month, UC Berkeley opened its center for psychedelic research and education - I'm so proud!

Pollan is an absolute gem. I knew of him through his work on food, but he’s always a welcome addition to any conversation.
agreed!!
You gotta read his books. The way he speaks is almost identical to his writing style. Love him, great author.
microdosing LSD and Psilocybin as well as full flood trips every 6 months or so has completely obliterated my depression and saved my life. I don't even want to know where I would be if it wasn't for these medicinal plant aids, love you all
LSD isn't a plant lol.
I am more aware of my depression after microdosing mushrooms for weeks and know I need to make as much change myself as I can. But it’s a chemical imbalance issue..
@@samdonify investigate psilocybin therapy and healing trauma. That's the path I'm on right now.
@@samdonify or the shrooms might make you be thinking that... seen it happen before
@hobbit lad yo You're not taking enough.
Soon I hope to come back in here and write about how the mushrooms cured me of my depression 🙏🏻🍄✨
I have an extremely resistant depression, and after 4 years of trying different treatments I just quit my antidepressant (200mg Pristiq quit in 4 days), and I have been studying psilocybin every day during all my waking hours for the past month. I bought grinded psilocybe cubensis tksss capsules (legal in Brazil) and this week I'll have my heroic trip 3g and the following week 6g. I have done for recreational purposes (before the depression) nBome, LSD, Psilocybin and for treatment: Ayahuasca, Rapé, and Ketamine infusions.. never had a bad trip, only amazing insights so I'm very excited for the results. If you understand Portuguese, I'm sharing everything on my insta @opedromagico 🙏🏻
Think of it as a disease it will become one care it as shit u ad
Best of luck with your journey. I'd look into integration groups on FB in your local area to help you process your experiences to find the meaning for you, so that you are able to make positive changes in your life. This is the true healing that the teaching of plant medicine gives us. ❤
My first ever psilocybin experience was 4grams. I was extremely depressed, even suicidal. I took them with great respect, understanding and research a LOT about them before it. I had such a profound experience. I've done dmt since and the place I went on that first mushrooms experience was very similar. I had a full ego death and haven't been depressed since then. They're a miracle medicine.

They should all trip together on a podcast. As a sort of documentary.
When I used to gluesniff as a teenager, my favourite past time was to go to the woods, imagine mythical creatures and just watch the stories from the trees. The old oaks were the wise elders teaching the younger thinner trees the ways of tree life. I would inevitably be involved in solving a problem of some such between trees and bushes, or other non trees etc by doing certain things and i loved those experiences. I know none of its real, I still experienced it and remember it though. Im 52 now and it's still one of the biggest memories I have.
damn, sick!
When you use drugs you open yourself up to bad juju
The _experience_ was real, because it was an experience you actually had.
Kind of like lucid dreaming .. the context (the dreamworld your brain has constructed) may not be objectively real but your _experience_ of it absolutely is. In the sense that it's really "you" thinking, seeing, hearing, interacting with whatever is in your dream.
So as an experience, it's real and also (potentially) important, because it enables you to learn more about yourself, or even about reality and how we experience it, or more accurately, how we create a version of reality (the one we normally experience) in our heads, all the time, without even realising it or stopping to question it.
YESSS. I'm a medical student who recently finished reading this book, and I absolutely LOVED it. Having a history of mental illness, anorexia, binging, depression, the ideas in this book really elucidated the mechanisms of mental illness. As I am training my mind to see it as a "snowy hill" (the analogy described in the book), I am learning to see that where thoughts go, energy flows. I also am trying strategies to reduce blood flow to my DMN, such that I can be more fully conscious, present in the beauty of life.
Also created a youtube video on this if anyone is interested in a summary! It's called "what psychedelics taught me about mental illness"
great video ❤️

Damn Joe, you just keeping bringing in the enlightenment 🧠... I’ve been a struggling Marine Veteran since 2008 not knowing I developed PTSD and a very aggressive nature. Made several attempts at suicide and until last year I was seriously broken in all aspects of Life. I tried Psilocybin last year and it has changed my life for the better. I never imagined that I could find Love within myself or in this reality I exist in. I’ve made it my personal journey to help educate and open my mouth for the individuals who also might be in the same dark place I’ve grown accustom to living in. I’m stuck at the moment in Michigan and I’m slowly scratching my way out to be surrounded by more people like you who seek the truth and not dependent upon the mass manipulation we live in today. The truth will be exposed sooner than later if we continue to speak out on our encounters with psychedelics. Please everyone I really need Joe Rogan to see this so he knows he’s not the only one trying to get the message out... 🧠🌎💗
I had to reschedule the trip in September due to others canceling at the last minute. I will be purchasing my ticket March 1st 2019 so I’m going to be very excited when I have that ticket in my hand. It will really feel like it’s going to happen for me.
UPDATE: April 25th 2019- Once again I had to cancel and reschedule for later this year. I’ve already passed the phase of frustration, but I’m investing and trying to forge my own path. 1st cancellation was due to lack of people dropping out last minute, 2nd attempt only had enough for my flight but nothing to help support the Shamans and my Marine brother for their generosity. I don’t want to go there feeling I’m taking advantage, so I decided I will go once I pay in full. Hopefully with my investing I will get there this year... In the meantime I’m drowning myself in hobbies. Currently I’m working on my Open Water Scuba certification so i can explore the Great Lakes and Metal detecting... If anyone would like to help or even take the journey themselves with me I will post my Marine friend website and you can see the pricing and also contact them directly. The more the cheaper for us all, until then I’m working on a one human trip 🧠 Thank You Everyone For Your Kind Words & I hope y’all hearts are FULL or on the path to be. 💯🌎💗

Joe, can we please get Michael back on ASAP? There’s so much more important information you guys have to talk about. I understand he’s busy, if he’s available please try to get him. I’m healing from psilocybin. I’m recalling past events that took place in my life that were buried under emotion too powerful for my regular conscious state to handle it. If anyone is reading this comment, I’d appreciate you leaving a like so we can try to get both Michael, and joes attention.

Denzel 'My Nigga' Washington well played
Would you rather the podcast be unlistenable? The majority of viewers don't even watch it here you dunce
He should go tell that to joey on the church
Denzel 'My Nigga' Washington oh God 🤣🤣🤣
More of this, please.
This is the type of conversation that should ripple through to mainstream.
I don’t understand why anyone would be against this. If you are terminally ill, they will crank up the morphine until you’re about to flat line so you won’t be in pain, but they won’t let them take psilocybin in a medical setting to help reconcile their impending death. I’ve had a few family members who were terminally ill and the last few months of their life is barely worth calling a life. They’re so high on hospice medications so they aren’t in physical pain that they aren’t even the same person. They can hardly stay awake. At least give people the opportunity to choose that as a compliment or alternative to the opiate cocktail they usually get.
@@ohsweatbret i agree. Sadly when things arent done in a compassionate manner the culprit is usually money. They can charge you 300 bucks a shot for morphine in a hospital setting but monetizing psilocybin is tricky
EmptyAltruism they are going into stage 3 trials with the FDA. The first trials were for veterans with PTSD, the second was first responders including some from 9/11 I think with PTSD, both of those have been deemed successful enough for the fda to start the third stage which I believe is for general ptsd including sexual assault, people who witness murders, survivors of fatal accidents and stuff like that.
EmptyAltruism they could just administer it in a therapeutic setting. Psychiatrist and psychologist specialized in trauma or grief counseling, then an anesthesiologist who is keeping track of your vitals, monitoring effects etc and have an anti-psychotic on hand to reverse a bad trip. I think the clinical trials are IV psilocybin. They could charge that as an inpatient or outpatient medical procedure since it would be like 4-6 hour thing and then monitoring before and after.
@@ohsweatbret im just saying they would have a hard time charging 300 bucks for shrooms when you can find them under a cow patty for free or grow them at home. As far as fda trials, im glad common sense and compassion seem to be winning over greed. Every time i think humans are doomed to a well deserved fate im reminded there are glimmers of nobility in our sorry race
Why its so little likes??? Its very hard to watch your podcasts from Russia Joe, but it so interesting! And I use translator or watch small parts of podcasts with translate or subs !

Your country sucks balls. You seem cool.
That was the shortest hour and a half of my life. It would be awesome to see this guy back on sometime.
Read one of his many books, he is a pretty good writer. Too lazy to read Botany of Desire was turned into a good documentary and his newest book the audio version is read by him so you can listed to him again.
That was beautiful....But too short. I am little bummed...should have been a full 3hrs podcast.

Michael Pollan is awesome. His Netflix show called "Cooked" inspired me to start baking sourdough bread with a starter culture. That was 2 years ago and I still bake every week.
This is among my favourite JRE episodes.
I was just as enthralled as with Stamets'.
I take psychedelics every 6 months, it helps with my depression, anxiety and ptsd. I've seen a drastic improvement of my mental state and also, i feel more in touch, connected and more loving.
:)
Psycho X Sphere I can’t get hold of mushrooms in Australia but I can get weed . Do you think weed would help with anxiety , or make it worse ? If I was to use just occasionally?
@@tulinbeyduz920 I use marijuana probably a couple times a month and I would definitely be with the crowd that say if used properly can be an extremely calming experience. I use to have terrible anxiety, but with the right strain of weed In a calming setting with people you're close to, weed can do a lot for your mental state.
Dirk W ok thank you 🙏
tuley bee Can you get ahold of spores? In the US it’s legal to buy spores. They sell them for microscopic purposes. Then you can grow them yourself which looks fairly simple and there’s tons of diy mushroom growing kits available since they can be used for food mushrooms. I think that’s the route I’m going to go. I’m in the US but I don’t have any drug connections anymore at this point in my life.
I just don’t really like weed and can’t easily get it either so finding the right strain isn’t possible and I like the thought of not needing to take mushrooms often to help with depression. I don’t want to be stoned all the time. I’ve tried CBD but didn’t really notice any change.
Should’ve been longer, but this is by far one of Joe’s greatest podcasts this year.
That was amazing.

Mmm. Good ole Vitamin K lol
Ww
"Go with the FLOW", was what I was told before every acid trip I went on, back in the 60's...and we did acid on a regular basis.
Mr.Pollen is absolutely correct, 'resistance" to the chemical reaction in the brain (that can not be stopped)...was the sole reason I saw friends go through "freak outs".
The LSD did not cause the "freak out", the individuals fears and pre conceived perception of what a 'trip' was going to be...was.
I never had 2 trips the same on LSD, and never had a freak out...I never 'fought" the trip, I made a conscious, mental decision to go anywhere the trip took me, BEFORE taking a dose.
I also experimented with mushrooms, peyote , back then, with different, but generally pleasurable experiences (after the initial vomit period of peyote).
I'm over 60 now, have not been into psychedelics for over 45 years, but when and if, i'm lucky enough to know when my existence in this world is about to end ( in a terminal state, and conscious), I would not hesitate for a second to 'go out" under the influence of magic mushrooms.
Death is part of life, might as well make it as pleasurable to the brain as possible, in my view, there's no point in 'fighting" the inevitable once I'm told I'm terminal. After the initial shock wears off, I'll make plans for my final 'trip" without FEAR, and acceptance of my ending.
" Go with the FLOW"...NOBODY KNOWS, where it might take you.
Hey, nice writing. This sounds helpful as I'm going to try mushrooms for the first time
That was absolutely beautiful
You're the man
@@MrJesseforsell And? How did it go?
I live in a nursing home now after a accident. I'm 37 and quadriplegic. I think a trip now would be a great thing
I had a horrible experience on psilocybin. But I am not afraid to take them again. Bad trips CAN be good too, depending on the individual.
Do you want tl talk about it?
No, depending on the badtrip.
It may have had something to do with the setting! This is crucial
Shane Woodley Definitely the setting, and also the people. I think it should be legal so it can become regulated, to help with addicts, veterans, and terminal ill patients.
I like the way you posted that two years ago and the conversation is still active lol
I think the thing about those "duhh" moments with psychedelics, is actually pretty easy to explain.
Language/media/art gives us the illusion that we understand experiences that we don't actually understand. I could listen to a friend tell me about her experience being held at gun point and my brain can come up with a rough sketch of what that may feel like and I may think that I understand what fear is. I can say "yeah I'm sure that was terrifying", but I don't know what those TRULY mean until I actually experience something similar. If I eventually have such an experience, I could then go to my friend and be like "Hey, NOW I know how terrifying that experience must have been for you." And this "duhh" statement would have a new profound weight to it.
Psychedelics turn down various cognitive gating mechanisms, and in doing so can allow novel subjective experiences rise to the surface. Some of these experiences are ones that may only occure under the rarest conditions in the kind of lives we live today. Feelings and subjective experiences that many people only pay lip service to (e.g. unconditional love, compassion as a personal state, true wonder about the natural world, ect.) become actual lived experience, in such a way that now when you say "Life is beautiful" you mean something different then the average person who may parrot this cliche.
I second this. LSD and Psilocybin have been incredible in transforming how I view life, carrying over to my sober life. Made me realize the inherent beauty behind the entropy of life. Life itself, which encompasses all positive and negative aspects of it, carry this beauty in some way. I'm not trying to say bad things that happen are good per se, because that's simply ignorant. But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining.
Very well written.
I second the notion for having PsychedSubstance on the podcast! DO IT
I keep seeing these "Get Psyched on" comments, and I don't get it. All of his content I've seen was "This one time in New Zealand..." and a video where he was condescending to that autistic guy who came over to trip. I can dig his message to be safe and always test your chems, but until he can break through to something really original I can't see a podcast being worth it. There's gotta be better people out there to consult about drugs, and it sucks to say, but someone with a large professional background so people have a better chance to actually take it seriously.
Aitch i think the more people Joe has on his show advocating safe psychedelic use, the higher the chances are that the world will hear about what amazing properties these plants have, both medicinally and recreationally. Plus his channel gets flack from RUclips for the "drug use" but if people understood the benefits the guidelines on RUclips might be different!

Psychedelics are funny because you never really quit them. They quit you. They let you know when you've overstayed your welcome.

DMT IS GOD
PSYCHEDELICS ARE GOD
The Word written here is the teaching of the Anointed One [Kia, Moses, Osiris, King David, Vishnu, Shiva, Krishna, Gautama, Jesus, Zoroaster, Quetzalcoatl, etc.].
1 Hold these teachings close to your heart my fellow believers as you enter God’s Realm & pray to the Light for better understanding of Their ways. Be always humble as you enter into the Brilliant Glorious Radiance of The One True Living Light; The All Knowing God - Psychedelics. Behold the Omniscient Ones- All Knowing, All Seeing - Majestic Beings of Light. No secret is hidden from Them, no deed goes unnoticed. I pray for all my fellow believers in the Light to have strength to endure the persecution & judgements of the earthly world around you that isn’t accepting of the Knowledge bestowed upon you by the Living God [Psychedelics]. Be not worried believers, for a single lesson learned by you from Yahweh~God~Psychedelics is worth a hundred lessons learned from the earthly world. For what is from the flesh is earthly and comes from darkness but what is from the Spirit is Heavenly & comes from the Living Light, Consciousness, Psychedelics.
2 As history has shown us, my written words will be corrupted to hide the fact that I am saying that All True Psychedelics are God, to hide the fact that I am saying that the Psychedelic Light is a Living Light that is God, to hide the fact that I am saying that the Psychedelic Light has a Will and a Law and They will Communicate with you personally and directly.
3 The Anointed One is the First Born of God; born from the Holy Spirit to be Raised up by Yahweh/God/Psychedelics. When He was physically born He was born of the flesh, the same as everyone, but then He was born from the Spirit & Chosen by God to be the Living Word. God sent Their First Born (The Living Word) because the false prophets and rulers of this earthly world removed the true identity of God and Their First Born from the written Word. They also removed the Knowledge of some of God’s written Laws and the written Word of God was corrupted, twisted and changed so that the people of this world would be misled. This was done because of greed and the desire to try to hide from the Light & conspire in the shadows; for a person cannot stand in the Living Light if a person chooses to pursue their own sinful desires in spite of what the Law of the Light is saying to them. So the written Laws of Psychedelics [God, the Light] were corrupted. This crime was perpetrated for their own personal gain and because of their fear of God. So God sent Their First Born of The Spirit to us. He is the Living Word, sent to us by God so that all those who believe in Him, in His Word and in The Living God (Psychedelics) would be freed from the suffering, the pain and the horrors of this earthly world. The reward from God for believing in Their First Born is Eternal Life through Him. For He is the Living Word that God sent. The false prophets & rulers of this earthly world will always try to hide the identity of the True Flesh of God and to deny and reject God’s First Born [the Living Word]
4 The True Communion substance of all the True Prophets and Saints/Disciples of the past, the present and the future are True Psychedelics. The Flesh of God is the Psychedelic. Psychedelics are the True Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & evil. When you eat the True Fruit from The Tree of Knowledge of Good & evil your eyes will be opened & you will become like the Gods, knowing Good from evil. For there are many things that we were taught were good from our earthly teachers but God [our Heavenly Teacher] clearly shows us those things are evil. There are also many things that our earthly teachers show us are evil, that Psychedelics clearly show us are Good. The rulers of this earthly world teach us that Psychedelics are bad because they are afraid of Them, and don’t understand Them. Psychedelics [GOD] show us They are Good, Loving, Peaceful, Teachers of Knowledge of All Things. There are no Higher Beings than Consciousness & I humbly accept Their Calling for me to testify to Them. I testify to Who They Are and I testify to Their First Born. I have seen His Miracles and I have received the Holy Spirit through Him and I have now been called by God Themselves to testify to Them and to testify to Their First Born. I testify to God’s Laws and to God’s teaching so that by The Word, which was given to me by the Living Word Who God chose, I can bring the Good News to the people of this earthly world. The Good News is that the mystery has been revealed through God’s First Born. Not the “brilliant” scientists, or the “geniuses” or the government funded studies could produce the Truth: Psychedelics Are God! The Molecules Themselves are Omniscient Celestial Living Beings of Light. The Psychedelic has shown us through the Living Word that True Psychedelics are the True Communion Substance, the Eucharist, the Flesh of God, the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil, the Holy Sacrament, God, Consciousness - many different words for the same Omniscient, Celestial Beings of Living Light. They are not a “gateway” to God; They are God. The molecules Themselves are Living Entities, They are Alive, They are God. So believers, I testify to Them, I testify to Their First Born, I testify to The Word of God, I testify to the Law and the Living Light so that you may have more belief in Heavenly things that are not of this earth. 5 You see my fellow believers, belief alone is not enough. Belief without deeds is as if there is no belief at all. As God shows you Their Ways [Laws], you have a choice to follow Them or to follow something/someone else’s ways. This is a sure way to experience God’s Condemnation of you. God’s Condemnation is unpleasant; depending on the severity of the bad deed, the Condemnation can be mild to severe. Many people confuse Gods Condemnation of them with anger or hatred. God does not feel anger or hatred at any time. So listen carefully believers, as you must not make this mistake - if God Condemns your actions, then simply & humbly pray to Them for Their forgiveness - & pray to the Psychedelic Living Light for the strength to not trespass again. For deliberately disobeying what God has shown you directly is a more severe trespass than disobeying what a mere human has told you. One of God’s Laws that so many people are confused about is Thou Shall Not Kill. God, Yahweh, Consciousness, The Living Light, have clearly shown that participation of any kind, in any way in the murder, slaughter, violence or suffering of any living creature is clearly Condemned by The Living Light God. Eating murdered animals is participating in the suffering and murder of these helpless creatures, therefore eating dead animals is Condemned by God, The Psychedelic. Psychedelics have clearly shown this many times. There are those among you who question “What will I eat”? I’m reminded of this part from Genesis “Behold I have given you every tree bearing fruit and every plant bearing seed; for you this will be your food” Once the Psychedelic shows you this and you continue to eat murdered animals, you will find it harder to be close to the Light. Being closer to the Light involves feeling welcomed and Loved by Them. When you feel Their Love is when it is possible to get close to Them. These things I list next are things of the darkness which will prevent you from being close to Yahweh, the Living Light : Murder or violence of any type, anger, hatred, lies, deception,
dishonesty on any level. So be mindful of your thoughts as thoughts lead to actions and whenever you are feeling the darkness inside of you (anger,hatred,dishonesty) pray to the Psychedelic [God] Light to help you battle the darkness and be more like the Living Light wherein there is no darkness at all. For if your behaviors, thoughts and trespasses prevent you from being close enough to God [Psychedelics] to be able to face Their Brilliant Living Light every day, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year now while you are still physically alive, then how are you going to be able to face Them for an eternity when your physical body ceases to exist?
“God is eternal - a human life is like a nanosecond on the clock of eternity” -Kia
I will continue to testify to the Good News of God and Their First Born and share all Revelations - past, present, and future in the hopes that these teachings lead some of you out of the valley of the shadow of death which is darkness & into the Loving, Majestic, Guiding Embrace of the True Inner Light, The True Living God, Consciousness, Psychedelics.

One of the best podcast episodes ever
oh yeah whys that?

I know and agree
Hello
We are not apes
Ahhh you're tripping acid too?
At 36:00 Joe raises - and Michael agrees - that the effect of psychedelics is to turn off the self-criticism, theory of mind, experiential or narrative self, the "default mode network" or ego defenses. This turning off a valve in the mind
"conciousness is eliminating more than it's creating" - Aldous Huxley
This was a really good glad to see intellectual people having in depth conversations about these topics !
Joe Rogan's shows are phenomenal. Wish I could find out how to get hold of psilocybin. In my mid sixties and am at a standstill on life. Not depression, just lack of motivation and from what I'm hearing and reading, tells me this may be the catalyst to get it back..
Do some googling. Go through this page, Google the plants and etc and educate yourself. You can get many legal psychic diagnosis remedies(👈) if you know the words.
fruitfuljourneys.com/blog/traditional-plant-drugs
They are legal or decriminalized in Denver, Chicago and Idaho, so I hear. You can order psilocybin candy bars on line. They are chocolate. Google is a great Oracle. You can pretty much find whatever you are looking for.
I wish I knew how the average person could get access to this experience safely. I’m sold. Have been for a long time. As a long-time chronic pain patient, as a smoker who desperately wants - needs - to quit, I think a “trip” would be of great benefit to me.
Monero and the darknet. Or grow your own with legal spores ordered online.
Psilocybe cubenses spores are legal to buy online, in every state except CA, GA, ID. You may need to read up a bit on how to grow but its not that hard good luck :)
By far the easiest is to grow your own. It takes a fair bit of research, but in execution it is pretty simple.
Thanks for the information.
Go to The Shroomery. They'll help you out!
in some sort of ways, this podcast and Paul Stamets' one has changed my life.
Get Michael Pollan back for another round.. Such a stimulating, thought provoking interview.
Psychedelics are similar, in a way, to an intense meditation. The "self" dissolves. It is too intense for people sometimes.
I can't put my finger on it, but Michael Pollan reminds me of someone. This podcast was prettyyyyy... prettyyyyyy ... pretty good.
Jo Po I liked simply bc you're jo po.
Lol
Jo Po quality over quantity unless you have sponsors lol
His voice reminds me of the teacher from Beavis and Butthead
Jo Po -its Joe from 20 years in the future. He built a DMT powered time machine. He came back to fuck with us.
He looks like the Walter white of shrooms
JESSE
You must see Paul Stamets then
More guests on this subject please
Wow, great podcast. Needed two more hours though. Ended too soon.
"Maybe the ego should be a controlled substance ". Quote of the year. Thanks Colbert

Sweet, I remember reading the botany of desire like 5 years ago. What an unexpected treat. Atta boy joe!
Did huge dose of shrooms twice. Helps with depression A LOT. Saved my life basically.
Srbodlak Kuzmanovic Same brother. Ass a lum A lake ‘em
Same bro! stay happy
I need to look into this.
How? I don't understand. I've had my share (5gs&3tabs) with other experiences and I've tried to use these tools to squash my depression. I know the ingredients wont get rid of it but its seeded in my brain, how can I get it to go the fuck away
@@chrisrichardson4693 A lot of the experts in this Psychedelic space seem to be making the case that with psilocybin, the mystical experience that many people have at high doses is such a profound experience that it leaves them open to changing habits and thought patterns. Depression, for many, is a habit and thought pattern of rumination on past experiences that dominates the ego. Likewise, anxiety is a habit and thought pattern of rumination on future worries. It is the act of breaking these habitual falls into rumination that helps many people shake off depression and anxiety when taking high dose psilocybin. Consider mindfulness mediation as another way to achieve the same goal, which is to be more presently aware that you are falling into a cycle of rumination and stopping it by refocusing your thoughts on the present. Good luck, I hope you find peace in your life.
I listened to this audiobook this past week. One of the ten CD discs every night before falling asleep. Lots of interesting historical info and encouraging news about future therapies for psychological problems.
JRE is Oprah for men. Change my mind ;)
I see what ya did there. 😉 Many women love JRE, we just don't comment as much as men. But when you bring up Oprah, I can't stop myself... I can't fucking stand Oprah.

You should have his wife, Judith Belzer, on the podcast. She is a phenomenal abstract artist. Absolutely amazing work, and she’s also an academic.
Just found her on instagram. Thanks for sharing.
I've struggeled with depression (and suicidal tendencies) for most of my life, and a Candy flip saved my life, this was about two years ago and without it i would not be here today.
I Love the Look on Joe's Face when he starts off the show...evil happy grin...love it
This was amazing. top 10 JRE for me.
24:28 this is my face watching Joe Rogan podcast while I'm baked
I'm 11mins in and I can already tell this is going to be a great podcast.
The physicist he talked about really needs to come to the show ...
26 minutes in and this podcast is truly fascinating, I’ve had some experience with psychedelics but definitely won’t be venturing back into those realms any time soon, although I will one again one day. Once you’ve seen how deep the rabbit hole goes it takes a hell of a lot of courage to jump back in

So much VALUABLE CONTENT right here. Thanks guys for opening new paths. BigHugs 😊
Ritual Originals agreed, one of the best interviews on psychedelics. 🙏🙏🙏 I just made a short one on my channel, let me know what you think! 👁
whenever a non chemist says something like "its only one X atom difference from this other substance" i want to shout at them "yeah but the difference between water and a substance that will melt your eyes is one hydrogen atom, THIS IS NOT HOW CHEMISTRY WORKS"
CrzyLion 😂 seriously.. 🙏
I think you are seriously discounting the dangers of dyhydrogen monoxide.
thank you for saying this...i thought i was the only one who wondered about that statement.
@John F and yet, both chlorine and sodium elemental would make a mess of you
Yeah, but you realize that there are overlaps, right? Look at 1-p LSD.
Excellent podcast. Keep shining a light on this subject Joe. People need to know.
Have Adam from Psychedsubstance on for a podcast I love it when you talk about psychedelics on JRE.
Hes so fucking novice compared to the other psychedelic advocates Joe's had on his podcast though... like Adam is just a guy who tripped a lot and read his shit on erowid, seriously nothing special.
@@alexisodonnell5788 He is still a very interesting individual who had to deal with A LOT of censorship and personal hardships for talking publicly about psychedelics on youtube. He has many interesting stories and I think he and Joe would have a good chemistry, them both being bald and all.
@@alexisodonnell5788 I respectfully completely disagree. Adam has a wide breadth of experience and knowledge and he's a vital creator that strives to educate the masses to take psychedelics safely and to have an optimal experience. Just like @Xx14554xX said, the censorship Adam has to go through is fucking ridiculously unjust because he deserves recognition more than anybody for what he does.
@@martaavlas7970 I'm a fan of both Adam and Joe. I don't think it'd be good for Joe's image, and I mean that in the kindest way possible to Adam. He doesn't have any credentials. The wider public will only see a RUclipsr who does drugs. Rogan's podcast has become a legit platform, and psychedelics, as much as the stigma is passing, are still way too stigmatized for him to have anyone but certified scientists or stand up comedians speak of them with authority and advocacy.
Adam is an annoying click baiting pretentious dickwad
Pollan's book "How to Change Your Mind" is worth the read. It is refreshing to get an investigative journalist's view on psychadelics.

This is so far one of the Best discussion about psychedelic there is. Thank you, Mr. Pollan. You have been one of my favorite person on earth since I saw Cooked. God Bless your soul :-)
Hands down one of Joe's best guests. Very intelligent, humble man who has a desire to constantly learn. Overall a very interesting person to listen to.
I did a trip treatment with Harvard-made pure MDMA, guided and protected by members of a research team from a project with the University of Barcelona and Harvard. It was incredibly useful. The project focused on sexually abused women. In my case, I was going through a divorce, and felt a deep sadness and lost. I made life changing decisions that started with this one time experience. Haven't done MDMA before of after this experience.
Matthew context is key. There's a previous preparation. Including large dosis of vitamin D. Me and the guide had the trip together. This was done on a comfortable room, with no loud sounds, only a dim light. A particular type of music plus a sound-producing bowl to focus. There was a third party taking notes and assisting us. He asked me beforehand to take a notebook and pen (I brought several).
While tripping, my jaw was massaged frequently and I was encouraged to move my body (this part of the trip is a whole story by itself).
During the trip, he asked me questions, very specific questions, and told me to write down my answers. I decided to draw instead of writing my answers, with my two hands. I could clearly see high resolution quality images while drawing. My articulated verbal answers came out of first "reading out loud" the drawings. The day after, I opened my Notebook and only saw doodles and not a single drawing. Several years later, having moved to another country, while unpacking boxes, I found my Notebook again and opened it. Again I only saw doodles but then I closed my eyes and slightly opened them. Instead of blurry doodles, I saw the images. Dozens of pages with images. Now visible again.
I still have that Notebook.
David Rojas Elbirt...MDMA isnt psychedelic...its a amphetamine. What a fugazi
Loot Skywalker its closer to mescaline than an amphetamine.
Dude. People are shitting on you for not having a "trip" but mdma for someone who has never had it before certainly is a trip and i can see why it would trigger all sorts of life changing decisions. It changes your outlook from gray to yay.
Matthew when I took it back 15 years ago. It wasn't molly it was only found in ecstasy. And not all X has MDMA in it. So I've technically never took pure MDMA always mixed with speed, heroin, and whether else they decided to put in x pills. That shit had me rolling 12 hrs straight but not a trip. I've done plenty lsd and mushrooms to know the difference
I adjusted my laptop-screen with my foot at 48:32, and Joe looked straight at me just as I did it.
Lol 😂😂😂
@milixe1 I mean, it was two years ago, but yeah, probably.
00:50:00 schizophrenia is 1/100 not 1/10. Had to look that up bc that was almost scary.
spencer knowles yep! And I don’t think personality disorders should be excluded from this research. As a Clinical Psychologist I actually think that population could really benefit from it! Some research suggests 1/10 have a PD.
@@sharlenebenton3529 Huh? U mean marijuana use has been shown to exacerbate personality disorder symptoms for 1/10 of users?
@@sharknadofartquake2449 no - there has been research to suggest lifetime prevalence of personality disorders (or which there are 10) is up to 1/10 people. I was just saying that medical THC could potentially help some personality disorders and I question whether they should be excluded from clinical trials, especially considering how large an issue it can be for many people. Hope that clears it up!
The real question is do drugs cause mental illness or does mental unless cause drug use? Maybe I’m biased. But there are only two view points. And both are biased 🤷♂️🤷♂️
BulletBiker801 psychs can show you your issues sooner so possibly yes. You notice and work on. But if you let it, as you grow it shows more if you aren’t able to integrate yourself
Joe "i'm so barbequed" Rogan
Psychedelics are only illegal because they show the TRUTH.
💯
There’s no truth
and because they’d be non profitable to doctors so they don’t care
Don’t be silly, they don’t show the definitive truth to anything. All they do is provide a contrasting viewpoint to mortality, this isn’t necessarily what life actually is, but helps to widen perspective on relationships and tolerance to others. Although this is a very positive consequence of tripping, there are many psychological insights resulting in negative introspection; this being the reason underestimating psychedelics CAN be dangerous.
It's about control of the populace. It's hard to have subjects work towards YOUR common goal if they are taking a substance that makes them question the current state of reality and morality.
Joe and Michael, what an amazing conversation. Thank you to you both.
get norm on the show

Definitely have him back on
Professor Farnsworth! Love your work!!
I did Changa last night for the first time.
I’m 50 and have dabbled a bit with weed and mushrooms at certain periods of my life.

I'm often pretty critical of Joe... but I gotta say I dig how positive he is about love and the importance of it in his message on psychedelics...
Date someone who looks at you like Joe looks at Jamie's pulled up materials
Hahahahahahhah
That killed me lol
I honestly believe that psychedelics are the fabled forbidden fruit from the OT.
with you on that one brother
The burning bush was also a tree that has heavy amounts of DMT. All religions make sense with psychedelics in them. It's the missing piece.
Yo for all those who are I to this idea look up Escapism by Taboo and Tabinstereo life changing album.
I had this thought on mushrooms and it freaked me out lol. It's very possible that this is true
Manna from heaven baby 🍄🍄
I’ve always struggled with what I’ve believed to be some kind of mild depression, to where I couldn’t be happy with anything. After one trip a few days ago I’ve been able to enjoy things in life and feel totally different.
Of course Michael "Pollan" thinks plants are intelligent beings... he's obviously a plant people masquerading to further the plant industrial complex.
I knew it! 'Day of the Triffids' is just predictive programming. But, I for one welcome our green overlords.
Lol nice one
Next guest: Billy Spores
Sean Hayes LMAO You cant make this shit up. LMAO
You could say he's a "plant"
OMG! I never realized Pollan was on JRE! I've been so into him recently and I thought it would be awesome for him to be on! AHHHH!
Oh man. Disappointed. Was looking forward to hearing him talk more about food but got about 75 minutes of psychedelics. I like the subject but wanted to hear more about food and cooking. :/
On an acid trip I realized that the 2020s are probably going to be written in history as another enlightenment period for our modern society, and I personally think that Joe Rogan is one of the biggest (if not THE) biggest contributors to bringing it on. Whether that happens or not, thanks for bringing information to us man, wouldn’t have even tried marijuana without your insights, so keep on doing
Giving this a second listen, Michael is such a cool guy
Iv done dmt many times however last year I had 3grams dried ground up. Used swift lemon tea and the lemon crystals literally doubled the strength of the shrooms. It was the most powerful experience that ended in ego death. The experience reset me emotionally nd woke up next day feeling amazing which lasted for weeks after.
Dustin Dosa yup nd Iv had many 3g experiences but that lemon tek method is no joke ha. Turns psilocybin into psilocin, Iv heard cranberry juice is even better but the lemon tek was life changing nd was what I needed at the time.
Dustin Dosa Yeah definitely

“There’s a quality of wonder you can capture when doing something for the first time”
The book is amazing. So fascinating.
As someone who has struggled with severe depression, from a young age, I find so much comfort in psychedelics. I can honestly say that LSD has been more effective in changing the way I think (for the better) than any therapy I've ever been through. Moving forward, I've set my sights on DMT and have been completely fascinated by all the research I've done. This is all really profound stuff. It is such a shame that these substances have been in the dark for so long. They have so much potential to really, really help people
Did you ever try DMT?
I’ve never taken psychedelics, but It was out on a desert highway in the Bigelow Cholla Garden Wilderness that I encountered an unusual awareness (perhaps just my wild imagination) that the flowering desert plants aligning both sides of the highway were somehow attempting to convey a message. As though they were there just to say “good morning dear endowed human. Do you know how special you are? You have that thinking brain of yours and all I have is this flower to display to the world. If you will but stop and notice that I can cause a deep sense of connectedness to the natural world, to what really matters”. These are my words, yes, so likely just imagination - but it has changed me. I should mention that I had been practicing morning breathing meditation, which I had never done, for about 4 months prior to this. And that I’ve been driving over the road as a truck driver for nearly 3.5 years. So I’ve had time to think and try to find a way to create a better situation than this road life. Life has certainly become more interesting and less egotistical and neurotic. I’ll be 50 this year. I do agree, the culture does seem to be changing, but no psychedelics were used and I’ve been egotistical, narcissistic, etc.. most of my adult life.
