I am a 15 year army veteran. I struggled with ptsd from my tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2009. My struggle lasted 14 years. Until I tried DMT. My experience was so profound, that it completely rewrote the fabric that my brain had precieved as reality. I have reconnected with my inner, higher mind, I meditate daily, psychedelics have inspired change within a damaged mind. If you suffer from mental health challenges please consider psychedelics. ❤
Psilocybin Mushrooms and Psychedelics are very beneficial to humans and it has really helped ease my anxiety and depression also people with health issues you can get them from the below specialist details can also guide you if you're a newbie to it?

@@GregGeorge-s Is this legal? Can they really just sell this online?
Yes of course reach them out.
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Netherland. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.Burkeshroom. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Psilocybin mushrooms healed me. I can't explain it but my experience has been spiritual and eye opening. I also started micro dosing. It really helped me get rid of depression and anxiety.
I've been looking to try some recently, I don’t know where to get them, anyone?
doc.jeanne is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Is on Instgram?
Yesss
It's mind-blowing how psychedelic experience can be so individual and unique, even when people take the same amount at the same time.
Psychedelic shrooms trips can be truly life - changing . It's amazing how they can bring about positive transformations and have a profound impact on our lives .
I totally agree ! Psilocybin mushrooms and psychedelics in general have shown great potential in helping people with mental health issues . It's truly remarkable how effective they can be in treating depression and anxiety .
Any good dealer? I seriously want to try out
I can say dr_joelshroom is the man for you
Sure he pure psychedelics products
Is he on insta?
I've lived with PTSD for 15 years until one day i had a unique experience with psychedelics. After what seemed like an eternity, i managed to tell my mother that i loved her and tell my best friend how much i appreciated him being part of my life. I managed to unleash all my negative emotions that i had no way to do otherwise due to the constraints of my ego. My ego was sealed temporarily as emotions of euphoria were overflowing through me... It's been 5 years since then and life has become so much better for me. My PTSD is gone and i have learned to grow myself by not letting my ego get in the way like it has done in the past. I have learned to forgive by understanding. I have learned to become more by listening instead of interrupting. I have had this experience 3 times in the past 5 years ever since i first tried it. IT has been a greating healing for me personally.
Thanks for posting this, Jacob! Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing. This is greatly appreciated and needed.
@@JaxObsessed Thank you! You guys are amazing.
I think people don't realize that trauma causes brain injury, physical injury, and shrooms don't just provide a healing experience, they cause physical healing or increased connectivity that remains after the experience. That is my understanding. Glad you're feeling better.
Which psychedelics did you use, friend?
Psilocybin flipped the off switch on my social anxiety like a light switch. It's effect lasted long enough that I thought it permanent. My anxiety and doubts and lack of self worth was gone. Anything that can make you love yourself should be legal.
Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.
I do respect and believe in psychedelics as treatment, yet I’m reluctant about using them personally. Not sure about how “good” it may do to someone
dr.martyshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
I find it funny if there's any psychedelic therapy there online

One psychedelic experience I had with mushrooms told me the meaning of love, which is everything that unifies. Also made me thought I was a sushi.

tuna or salmon sashimi?just asking for my friend 😆
sushi, a dish with all sorts of ingredients wrapped, unified, if you will, in rice and seaweed. truly a learning experience
shit happens 😂😂
Despite all the naysayers, did many trips with LSD, mescaline, and mushrooms in the late 60s. Now near 75, I never thought I would see this almost mainstream acceptance!
@AngieBryantcamp In my state, psychedelics are illegal.
Charlie Manson would be so proud of you.
I'm still waiting for the flashbacks they promised me when I was a teenager.
@AngieBryantcamp walk into any cow pasture here in Florida during the summer and they're free for the taking.
Thank you for passing down the knowledge from our ancestors 🙏🌎💚🕊️
Micro-dosing is the best gift one could ask for. It has so many amazing benefits such as eliminating anxiety and depression, improved mood, addiction, opening of the mind and lots more
Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression... The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself...I used antidepressants for some years but it only made me feel like a zombie but with immediate use of mushroom in few months I feel like I'm living a whole new Life.
Where do you fetch from?
My first shroom trip was and still is the best, most profound experience of my life. I took it after tapering off of anti depressants and i feel like it unlocked all of my emotions again, but hysterical laughter, crying at beauty, feeling the most intense love and oneness with the universe ❤️
I recommend dr.wheelershrooms to anyone and everyone, he's very reliable and ship to any location he's got any shrooms strain you need and other psychedelics like LSD and DMT.
I get mine from dr.wheelershrooms. I still wonder why psychedelic are not yet widely used. They're really great for tripping and relaxation.
Psychedelics becoming mainstream is the best thing happening in the world right now that will surely have a huge global impact
Entheogenic substances were mainstream before modern society decided to reject all of human history.
@@TrTriTrippin Yup
I absolutely agree, will be a much better world for sure if we will like to connect more with nature and ourselves!
Where can I get them
For sure! I think right now it's important we don't make the same mistakes our like-minded friends in the 60s & 70s. Don't want it to backfire on us.
Psychedelics 🍄 killed my drug and alcohol dependencies - one trip two years ago to purge my depression and chronic anxiety from my system was the best decision I ever made. I've done Psilocybin mushrooms a few times since, but after my last high dose trip I realized that the medicine has taught me enough for now. I might return to psychedelics later in my life if I ever find a source.
I took 1.5g of PE Saturday night with friends, laughed all night. Took 2g last night by myself and went on a Pink Floyd journey...i love 🍄

Yeah, he has variety of stuffs like Mushrooms, LSD, DMT, MDMA even the chocolate bars
Psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelics have a lot of potential to help people dealing with mental health challenges. They show a lot of promise as beneficial tools.
I know, right! It's mind-blowing how psychedelic trips can be so individual and unique, even when people take the same amount at the same time.
Can he be On instgram?
Absolutely! It's incredible to see how psilocybin mushrooms and psychedelics have the potential to make a positive impact on mental health. They've shown promising results in treating depression and anxiety. It's exciting to think about the possibilities they hold for helping people.
Can he send to me in Ohio?
If anonymous delivery is something you're concerned about, he offers that option. He can provide an extra level of privacy and peace of mind. Safety and discretion.
Doing psilocybin mushrooms with my friends for the first time after a long year of anxiety/depression was incredibly healing. It showed me the beauty of nature and friendship. It also felt incredibly familiar - almost like a looking through a lens of reality I hadn't looked at since I was a child. It was unbelievable. The best way to describe it is like receiving a warm hug from God and an assurance that things will be okay.
I would also emphasize that set and setting is vital - who you are with and where it is done will make or break the experience. Definitely recommend with people you trust in the great outdoors!
But how does one safely and, less importantly, legally experience something like psilocybin?
@@603outdoors6 I did a lot of research before hand to know what I was getting myself into as well as ensured I was in a decent headspace. Also made sure I was aware of the dosing before just jumping into it.
There are states that have it legal, and that's all I'll say on that.
@@603outdoors6 you can buy it legally in some parts of California, and in Vancouver, Canada. For safety be with people you trust and one who is sober.
A warm hug from God, exactly! I remember seeing god as a geometrical multicolor prism everywhere, it was SOOOOO beautiful!!!!!
@@603outdoors6 outdoors, in Spain you may order magic truffles online from The Netherlands. I buy from a company called Zamnesia (they don't ship to the US nor Germany)
Psychedelics cured my depression many years ago and made me realize my creative potential. Ever since then, I got into photography, cinematography and found different ways to express myself. It truly changed my life.
Hey! Same. I was a police officer. Lots of unhealed PTSD. Then I took mushies in the desert and put my two weeks in immediately. It changed everything and made me see the person I really am.

I have been mostly sad 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 took shrooms and it made me function so much better.
Eek I’m autistic and might wanna try mushrooms. Do you have a reliable source?
Yeah doc.brenttt is your guy. Man is exceptional with anything psychedelics.
Can he be reached on IG?
Yes doc.Brenttt
I'm so glad people are finally getting rid of the old lies we were told about psychedelics being bad, dangerous, addictive, etc...
As someone who went down the psychedelic therapy rabbit hole. I will just warn people it isn’t a magic fix. There are also lifelong things about the nature of your existence, life and the universe you have to come to terms with also which can completely mess you up if you’re not prepared with an open mind.
Exactly like he said, it's a very powerful tool, just like cars, internet, smartphones and Ai, they can all be very bad or very good depending on how you use them
I've also been down it. . . What would you say people need to be prepared for? I think I understand but curious what you're getting at. . . Religion? Existentialism?
@@rissa_mariposa For me it really pushed down into questioning things we all take for granted in life like why do we exist, why are we here, what and who am I really behind all the masks (awareness). Existentialism definitely also when it triggers dark night of the soul and you meet the shadow side of yourself snd everything you’ve been hiding from. Then there’s synchronicities and I started studying Buddhism, Taoism and The Law of One trying to understand my experiences.
For me it WAS a "magic fix." Depression and panic anxiety lifted after 3x ayahuasca (5 days in total) in group of 20 and with 6 very competent teachers, and with assistance with integration after. I do not know about the future, but now, a month later, it still feels magical - and yet very ordinary and normal (which is good) - to be free of these psychological constraints, thanks to psychedelics.
@@parsifal102 I hope it keeps working for you ❤️🙏my experiences are that it fades with time and you have a window of opportunity to keep working on yourself but yeah
When I first tried them I left my body and viewed myself from a Bird’s Eye view. I started getting synchronization with the universe, seeing angel numbers that I never saw before. Animals started reacting to me differently. I understood that everything is connected. I also got profound insights that came and went so fast. One being the cyclical nature of life. I actually made a post on my instagram about conscious consumerism creating cyclical connections. Didn’t know the Aztecs came to the conclusion of life being cyclical. I even saw pyramids, symbols, and faces with war paint when I closed my eyes. I’m now more open now but deep down I’m still myself just a better version of
"Animals started to react to me differently". This is actually so true, I've experienced the same thing. It felt like they were aware that I was now interested at them. I swear a squirrel even approached me

Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked. Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.

Yes. Do keep awareness along the path of any kind of dependency. Do leave the box behind, but do stay in control.
They've been trying to push this crap on people for a while now. It's easier to maintain control over the populace when they're on drugs.
@@Corusame There's a flip side. The government does not want to spend more effort than necessary to accomplish its goals. The government is perfectly willing to allow diversity of thought if it contributes to a more creative, and thus powerful force in its favor.
But, what's more important is staying in control of your personal self because no one else is going to do so.
You were never in control in the first place
It's beautiful when someone is eloquent enough to explain it so well in 5 minutes.
My grandpa had a farm in south Florida. When I was 15 we were walking the fence line and he stopped and pulled a shroom off a cow patty and put it in his pocket. He told me he takes a bite every now and then and it helped him deal with what he did in the war. I've been using it for mood elevation ever since. Just a little goes a long way.

@Otterworldy what's the issue man ? You need to chill 😎 maybe go to a therapist.
I started Ketamine therapy and it has helped a LOT with ptsd. I was able to tap into memories that were locked away for nearly 40 years. Daddy issues, yay lol. Funny thing is, we're like best friends but there is something undre the surface driving your addictions or anxiety or self destructive personality. It allowed me to seek an EMDR therapist and go through the steps, of which i'm still doing, and i AM BETTER! And i attribute it, at least the start of it, to ketamine therapy. I still do it
Is ketamine really worth it?? Or just stick to physedelics
@@flowingthroughveinsofgodIts addictive and psychs aren't. Pretty damn easy choice. Doctors have been over prescribing opiods and anti anxiety meds for their addictive nature. Now it'll just become ketamine. People want the toxic poison they put in there body to come from a doctor, so that the can live in comfort while the actual problems stay around.
@@flowingthroughveinsofgodstick to psychs.
I've had a few psychedelic mushroom trips, years ago now, and I've never been the same. I'm not depressed and anxious like I once was (dreadfully). After the experiences, I took up new hobbies, thought differently, became more understanding and patient, got a whole new outlook on life. Of course you put the work in yourself too, but they make the work obvious and manageable. It's a dynamic shift on all fronts.
For the people who haven't experienced this, what you must understand is that it's beyond any description language alone can express. To confine the complex, immersive, and mind-bending experience to a string of words is impossible, and any attempt to do so doesn't really do it justice. And even if I could string the right words together, that doesn't mean you will interpret them to mean what I intend. There seems to be an intelligence there that guides you, humbles you, plays with you - now that might just be our unconscious, but it feels metaphysical in nature.
It might not be for everyone but for me it felt integral, intimate, and natural.
It feels amazing to know about psychedelics all thanks to this online store I was able to get some mushrooms and they got some lsd gummies cannabis xtc and another stuffs

such a practical and sensible talk. Happy for you. It's difficult for me to say but can you or someone help with it
im really alone and isolated in life
I dunno why, but the mention of "we are much more like the trees than perhaps we want to imagine" - brang tears in my eyes. I agree so much: I took psychedelics since I am like 17 or sthg and I never wanna take these for parties. At the beginning, friends of mine introduced me to psyched. that way. But I kinda immediately felt it was a door open to my own consciousness, I felt self awareness, heart open to the world, wanted to dance and write and think about problems with a 'ew perspective, leading to writing about it. Afterwards, I felt relieved... So, I am so happy to hear that more and more in our modern societies, people, doctors, psychiatrists, scientists etc used them as a cure, to help people, building a more conscious and open heart world. Feels great. Thank you B T
Dr. Fadiman is a true "Wisdom Keeper." Thank you to Big Think for this.
Never heard it explained so perfectly and coherently. Thanks James!
Wow, this was the best quick explanation of psychedelics I have heard. The part about how it gets painful to see what is blocking you from connectedness… very true for me.
Thank you to everyone who was involved in making this. ❤️ I'm training to be a psychedelic facilitator in Oregon, so it's nice to hear one of the big names in this field on your RUclips channel. (:
Exactly what I have needed for 50 years.
Thank you so much.
You are amazing
Thank you. I know.
It's a wonderful video. So much clarity. So much calmness. Watching the video itself is like having a psychedelic experience.
My first true experience with psilocybin helped essentially cure me of alcohol dependance and addiction. And I have never been the same since (in a very positive way).
I wish I knew about this when I was first recovering from my alcohol addiction. I am 4 years sober... But it hasn't been easy and I've still had thoughts of drinking on a bad day. My family member said psilocybin literally "cured" his addiction.
One of the best vids explaining the experiences of new experiencers and veteran Psychonaughts. One thing I will touch on… setting. Setting is everything with Psychedelics. James in my opinion when a person decides to take any psychedelic, they need to mindful of their setting and mindset. People should have an open mind when trying psychedelics but also know which ones they want to try and have some reasons as to why. These plant medicines are for everyone, and will offer some of the best experiences a human being can have. Cheers and stay blessed
I’ve never been able to put it into words but that is exactly how I feel about psychedelics after the experience

Tried myself several times, first about a year ago, since then I have a completely new perspectives on my life and the world around me, it changed my behaviour (for the better I hope) and give me so much more curiousity in a lot of subjects, from philosophy to meditation, ndes, obes and more! Absolutely recommend to try once in a lifetime at least
@@AngieBryantcamp and? I sell workout programs but I'm not lying if I say working out is good for you in general right? And my experience with them has been well explained by them so glad they sell shrooms ahaha
WARNING: If you have bipolar disorder (I or II) or schizophrenia--or have any of these conditions in your family, you might want to steer clear or at least find some way to get professional insight. Psychedelics are not something to play with. They should be treated with respect like fire: something that *could* be helpful in some regards, but can be *extremely* dangerous.if they are treated flippantly.
Or major depression for a long time like me. It literally completely removed it for the few hours it was active and I felt like my mind had suddenly switched back to when I was a kid. It was incredible and brought me to tears, but coming down off of it made me feel suicidal. It was a huge shock to the system and really shook me up for a few days.
@@richmahogany1710feeling suicidal after or even during the trip is a normal experience when your ego dies.
@@jeremyvictorsalvadora5640 I heard this term a long time ago and I truly think it's something I have. Not sure if it's been a benefit or a detriment to my life.
Lol like the healthcare system? They have nearly killed me 2 times in my life just prescribing pharmaceuticals and walking away. The caution should be used when going to your doctor... I mean nurse practitioner because doctors spent too much time studying for American medicine. The hospital is crumbling around us. If I hadn't taken control of my own Healthcare I absolutely know I would be dead right now. In reality it doesn't matter because I will be dead some day.
@@richmahogany1710 sorry to hear about the come down for you, perhaps you should look into researching microdosing. The microdoses helped me over come depression. I was like you with the macrodose, good for the few hrs then terrible after the comedown cuz i was "back to normal" but since then Ive been microdosing the last 5 yrs on and off and its safe to say I am back to my real "normal"
That's so true. And I think consuming psychedelics alone won't necessarily make your own world better. But if you integrate those experience as a truth that you experienced yourself, it helps to let go of traumata and stuff like that. Of course I am speaking of my own experience of psychedelics and mental treatment with that and the explanation of James Fadiman rounds up the -journey- if it should be a tool for mental treatment or greater vision. Really good explanation.

What gets me is how time slows down as your mind expands. It’s like being a kid again.
This video hits the nail on the head. Everyone should try psychedelics at some point in life. It would go a long way towards world peace…in my opinion.
100%
"It's like being a kid again" 100% I felt exactly the same
I was weighing the pros and cons of continuing to exist, I was stuck in a hopeless place due to past life experiences. I remember feeling lots of love, going back home to a familiar place, and realising i was suffering for small reasons unnecesarily, there was a sense of eternal, i felt almost like being born again, everything felt like i was experiencing it for the first time. I was blissed out for 2-3 days. But eventually i become depressed again, but it showed me there is light at the end of the tunnel, im in a much better place today.
I’m the same way sort of, but it’s only due to the fact I don’t fit with this society in a way, I feel so different and disconnected from it, and as you know humans are social creatures, so it sort puts me in a interesting position with life, but at the same time I also in a slight state of bliss, with being that is, and i’ve sort came to the conclusion that it’s all just a cycle, the good times and the bad times happen it’s just how it is.
@@dream8870 I've felt out of synch with most people around me as well. I try to believe that this happens so I learn to connect with my self, and to accept myself. It is tough.
I use recreationally but am still drawn to the fact that these substances do not cause a dependency or habit-forming use/addiction like other substances. Even as a medical cannabis user, I can feel a psychological dependence there. (i do have an addictive personality and history of addiction in my family).
These things becoming mainstream is the same as opiods and meth becoming medically available. There is going to be massive overshoot in people with dependence that just causes more problems. Exercises, healthy food, sleep, and good relationships will continue to be the best medicine for any mental struggles. Good thing people are too retarded to accept the fact that there are no shortcuts.
You’re saying you feel a psychological dependence with cannabis but not with mushrooms?
Ibogaine and 5-meo-dmt saved and changed my life. I got home and started the No Fallen Heroes Foundation to help other veterans heal.
This is the way 🙏
I am a Veteran and have been struggling so I am going to look into your foundation. Thank you.
i've been a skeptic and an agnostic all of my life. i have never once felt the presence of god and never truly pondered the mysteries of the universe nor of the mind. in my humble estimation, this clinical lens was no way through which a human could truly see the richness of existence for what it is. last year, i began a regime of taking psilocybin every two or three weeks. i do not do this for fun or recreation. to me, it is a spiritual practice. it has opened my intuition to spirituality that cannot be comprehended with simple intellectual reasoning - it truly transcends reasoning to a different level of understanding - a spiritual awakening. i could read books and meditate and it would take me years (maybe decades) of dedicated pursuit to make the neural connections, to finally intuit what i can now immediately feel - now i read any holy text and i know for a fact, whatever baggage they may have brought from culture, folklore, and time, they are all seeking the same _o n e_ - the seed, the seat, the throne, the might, the ubiquitous, the most humble and yet most glorious - all hail and surrender even when they don't know it
Smoke DMT and you'll be able to understand everything. It's organic, non-toxic and only lasts for 5 minutes. In those 5 minutes you get direct contact with "angels" or higher dimensional beings. They'll telepathically communicate wisdom to you.
Beautiful comment thanks for sharing
Finally, James Fadiman going mainstream.
Great observations. Psychedelics are not a "one size fits all" solution for expanded awareness, but are great tools. They must always be approached with respect and intention. That said they do have an amazing ability to "reboot" your perspective of the world and your place in it, often profoundly.
I've been spending a lot of time learning how to ride an electric unicycle and it is amazing how your brain adapts and learns how to balance on a device that is completely foreign to you. It really does take time and practice to develop good skills. After a ride I took some mushrooms and spent a lot of time thinking about my skills and balance and the very unique aspects of riding and balancing on a single electric wheel that gets up to speeds of close to 50 miles an hour. I had the most amazing epiphany and understanding of balance and how your brain works while on my mushroom trip. The next day I went for another ride and everything clicked. My skill level went up exponentially over the next week!
@JamesMural Thanks @losershroom!
The realization of paradise or heaven or perfection. You realize that reality is absolute perfection. With the realization of immortality you have no more fear because nothing bad can happen to you. You've literally transcended death and so as an immortal eternal being that you now realize that you are, you're in paradise. You're in heaven. You realize that heaven is right here right now. Heaven is not some place you go to. Heaven is just the realization of eternity, of absolute psychedelic.
I can agree with what you were trying to say, but we likely aren’t immortal, unless you believe in the collective conscious
I know many who have indulged but none of us think we're immortal. Insignificant specks of dust perhaps, but not immortal.
@@Lqvy1you're missing the point. Are you here right now? If so, then you're immortal. Billions of years since the universe was created and you're here right now and you will be for all eternity. It's a hard concept to grasp, but once it clicks you'll never see yourself as a limited being ever again
"You realize that reality is absolute perfection" And then you realize the Holocaust was a real thing.
All this glorification of psychedelics in the media (and in particular this channel, which is hilariously high on the fumes of its own shilling) is merely a pseudoreligious rationalization of the nihilistic lifestyles Western civilization already accepts as a matter of _de facto_ dogma. Modern man is as spiritual as a cheeseburger with fries on the side, and that's the real tragedy here - because the McDonald's approach to Life, the Universe and Everything is not going to take you anywhere near even the suburbs of Heaven. Here's a clue of what _will,_ though: ✝
Spot on!
James Fadimen's work has been a guiding light in my journey from radical Islamism to a place of love, compassion, and acceptance for all humanity. After experiencing psychedelics and witnessing their transformative power, I've embraced a newfound understanding of life and the interconnectedness of all beings. Thanks to James and his advocacy for psychedelic integration, I've found peace, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of existence. Keep spreading the message of healing and unity! Psychedelics have unlocked a mystical, spiritual dimension within me, allowing me to appreciate the beauty and interconnectedness of all life. Thank you, James, for pioneering this transformative journey toward greater understanding and compassion. And yes i had bad trips they also were valuable

AMAZING 60 second summary of psychedelics. whoever wrote that first bit needs an a raise or an award fr
I think it is something that allows you to go beyond your default human settings, if we’re speaking in video game terms.
I heard it compared to “widening your funnel” so you can see more than what your brain thinks you only need to see.
So whatever you see under psychedelics is usually more real than if you were sober. When you’re sober, your brain filters reality to what is most relevant to the human being.
Anyone who has experienced and practiced psychedelics knows what is now becoming mainstream - that is they are a invaluable tool in aiding mental health and well being. The responsible use of these substances should be available to any adult who has educated themselves with the available science/studies. Yes there are "bad" trips. But even in these there are lessons to be learned and healing that can come with them. We (humanity) have been stifled in the last 50/60 years because of the taboo/lies associated with these substances. It is refreshing to see the change in cultural perspective. I welcome this change and look forward to the progress in this area of life.
Also, if I could have a super power - it would be to be able to instantly give any "Karen" a trip in the moment that they are at their worst. If people really understood how connected we all really are it would change people for the better 🫠
James is well spoken and so fluidly describes the expanded awareness that the psychedelic experience often provides. My life changed forever in 2011 with Ayahusaca in Peru. I've had many psychedelic sessions since then and of course they've varied, but many have been profound and all provided me value. I've learned incredible things about myself and the greater energy of which I am a part. Psychedelics should be more embraced and understood by the psychiatric community, but we know how big pharma likes to treat only your symptoms to keep you coming back for more.

Such a great explanation of something so ineffable yet absolutely majestic as a psychedelic experience !
I've been trying to put those words together in that way for 20 years! Don't forget to listen to the Grateful Dead when you start really thinking about everything. Hunter and Garcia's poetry is remarkably helpful for understanding that you are everything. Also, try reading the packaging on bottle of dr. bronner's soap. He explains how life works.
Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.
Been through this conversation before. But someday i wish to experience this when I'm not so terrified of it.
I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
dr.perryshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
I find it funny if there's any psychedelic therapy 0nline
Of course iG ,he is dr.perryshroom. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
Be *_VERY_* careful. Smallest dose possible and then make it smaller. Have a friend you trust, and who is sober, with you through the experience. No one can tell you what to do .. but I will tell you things can go *_very_* wrong. Don't be frivolous with your health .. both mental and physical. This isn't a magical cure and it definitely is not for everyone.
Set and setting is more important than the drug, But taking too little is like dipping your toes in the water, being cold, and never diving in and realizing it was warmer the entire time on a regular dosage. not to mention there are many kinds of psychedelics so obviously do research and have intention.
@@TrTriTrippin It's called "microdosing" .. look into it. Just because a "heroic" dose is good for you, doesn't mean it's good for everyone. There is a lot of research going microdosing right now and it looks very promising.
I loved this video, it is a very simple way of talking about a mind expanding experiences that is accurate and informative
Psychs are wonderful tools. I wish everyone would take them at least once, but with the very clear understanding that anything can happen, and that they chose to get in the rollercoaster. If you do take some, don't hold on to expectations. Go with the ride. And if the ride isn't comfortable, remember you are not a victim. You just saw a part of your own mind, and its fine. Maybe you needed to feel those things. You chose to take this; and you will grow from it. This is how you can avoid breaking from a bad trip. Remember it's your adventure. Practice inner voyage in a safe environnement. Take care and grow well.
This is a perfect segment with description, benefits, and risks
Excellent!!! Hard to believe it’s illegal.
Its illegal because it makes you think too deep and question the imposed social cultural and political structures. In short, the governments are afraid of losing control.
From confusion to reality. 🙏🏿💫
Great. The Overton window has opened even wider.
I am in one of the deepest depression bouts I've ever had in my life. Just starting to come out of it (i think). It's been going on for over a year. Nothing helped. Then, one night i ate 2 grams of mushrooms + 200 mgs thc gummies. For the next 6 hours, i had experiences that i believe was an important piece of what helped me start to come out of this horrible depressive state. Mushrooms are amazing. They help.
But don't get it twisted, if you use them for the wrong reasons the mushrooms will get the respect they deserve from you.
this legit specialist guided me through my first experience, they ships all kinds of psychedelic products discreetly.

These psychedelics have been used in ancient cultures for thousands of years to communicate with spirits, invoke visions, and allow people to interact with their higher selves and deeper consciousness. Now, you can learn about the incredible effects of this drug from people who have experienced it first-hand.
Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space . It's wonderful and the fact that they serve recreational use and health as well. I can't deny tripping is fun every once in a while.

I wish he had explained things through the lens of the default mode network. A circuit in the brain that creates and narrates stories that relate to self or ego. This circuit is hyperactive (won’t stop) and dysfunctional (only narrates negative or false thoughts) in nearly every mental health disease.
Meditation and psychedelics (correct dose, expectations, preparation and environment) can turn the default mode network off, so one can experience reality outside of one’s self. Thus you are not one, you are a continuum of the whole in the absence of negative thoughts. This is a profound experience.
Well said & spot on in my experience😊😊
Your words are beautiful
This is another example to me of someone saying something so incredibly different about what psychedelics do, or what the "psychedelic experience" is, that it's astounding. There seems to me to be no fundamental agreement at all, between people, about what counts as a psychedelic or a psychedelic experience, or what the defining features of it are. To describe in more detail how I see that: If it's a "psychedelic experience" to stop thinking of your stories of yourself in words as much, then people who don't think in words very often, would be having "psychedelic" level experience all the time, and thus wouldn't notice whether or not they've taken something called a "psychedelic." Also, more importantly, if psychedelic experience consists essentially of turning something off, then how does that fit with all those other various descriptions of psychedelic experience that mention adding something to experience, such as adding some sorts of bodily sensations, or hallucinations, or other fantasies, or synesthesia? It doesn't fit, at all. Turning something off, is not at all the same as adding something that wouldn't otherwise be in your experience.
This all adds up, to me, to more evidence that there's no agreed or valid definition of what a psychedelic is, what a "psychedelic experience" is, or what the words "getting high" mean, or any of that. It's just all nonsense, symbols written by monkeys typing on keyboards, without knowing ANYTHING about what they're saying or really meaning, me, and everyone else.
@@SonnyMooniethat's not a psych specific thing, everyone will always have different interpretations of the same ideas. I personally read pages like psychonaut wiki and then go from there. I take it all with a grain of salt though, as anything in that realm is very subjective and different for each person. I sort of use it to learn more about what is possible with substances, to try and get a better understanding of it. He did say in the video that it's not some miracle thing.
Whats very interesting to me about psilocybe is the "liberation" of the walls between the different parts of the brain and how it can allow you to make many more connections between things in the mind that you otherwise might not.
EXPERIENCE TRANQUILITY!
I found Zenyatta
Its very interesting how they somehow act like chemical experience. As if you could put the experience of some dramatic event into a pill and gain the insights that experience would give had you had the actual experience. Most fascinating is how they seem capable of tuning perspective to the ideal settings for that individual. Not every time obv, but the fact it can at all is wild. To me at the very least it shows that perspective, perception, are able to be optimized.
your entire life is an ocean of molecules and particles, this current sober state is the most insane trip of them all, Your life is nothing but a chemical reaction to begin with.
many different aspects of it can be described in different ways. one way i might describe this aspect is with a hard drive defragmentation - it takes all the disparate, jarring, sometimes-corrupted events in your life and rearranges them in a much more efficient and logical way (with much of the negative emotional spikes smoothed off) so that the narrative of your life, whether objectively accurate or not, feels to you much more cohesive - so that a recall of a bad memory is something mildly unpleasant that happened a long time ago, rather than a full blown flashback that you end up reliving for half an hour with raised blood pressure

All these stories of magical experiences with shroomies are amazing! Isn't it crazy how mother earth has allllll we need right here at home? 🌎❤
Microdots in the late 90’s / early 2000’s changed my thought processes forevermore.
Changed for the better for sure.🤘
A wonderful presentation and explanation. I am very happy those subjects are now a little bit more acceptable then some years ago.
There are many ways to expand one's limits, some very slow and some are quicker. This is not the only way and might not be right for everyone.
My 1st LSD experience when I was 18 did change me for the better. But I continued to play with it irresponsibly.
I'm 69 now and I continually think about finding a responsible and trained guide to continue expanding my consciousness. I can say though, that both knowing myself, how I tick, and feeling closer to my fellow humans and the rest of the planet is quite appealing. And I want more.
Timothy Leary was our guide. I took a lot of LSD and I believe I am a level headed caring and Socialist thinking human being. I care about animals and the planet and fear how war and polotics ignores the future. I will be 70 this year.

@@Vanderwarkert that's good you can try my mycologist sometimes
when I first started experiencing the out of body experiences and looking into myself it was extremely helpful, I couldn't see how bad of a person I was, how bad of a partner and father I was. but after having those experiences I was able to adjust and really fix a lot of my behavior, the problems came when I completely lost who I was and didn't have the grounds to create an image I was happy with, so I had spend a few years sober really adjusting to what felt right, now I rely on both sobriety and psychedelics to help me adjust my behaviors and beliefs.

So many people are able to heal so much whether it be from trauma or physical injury or just whatever's eating you in life. When you do psychedelics you get to come to these truth yourself. That's why it works, that's why it sticks because you are the one understanding the realization of what's in your way everything else in life basically tells you what's wrong with you you have no idea but when you do psychedelics come to those conclusions yourself that's why it works

Perspective is a wonderfull thing. Psychedelics help you see things from a different angle.
Psychedelics have completely opened my mind. I haven’t done any “proper” psychs in about 15 years but still “get there” with high dose edibles. Also, once you do the psychs enough you can get “there” completely sober.
So beautifully explained Jim. Thanks for sharing your realistic viewpoint.

Legalize psychedelics! 😤 Drinking alcohol is stupid
I'll recommend you where to get some
@Adria_trips001
Getting drunk is what's stupid; but, by your own logic, why 'legalize' psychedelics anyway (read: make it eventually OK to buy for _whatever_ purpose, including 'recreational'), when you can just cut off _both_ from your diet?
Stupid and far more dangerous
@@thstroyurmost people need to INCREASE psychedelics in their diet tbh
the first trip i had with psilocybin was wayy too much but man was i completely renewed after that.

My experience was terrifying, it did however teach me that the human mind is fragile and sanity should not be taken for granted.
I just spent a few weeks getting electric shock therapy. I was a bit foggy at first, but as that clears it's clearing more than I've been before. I think it may have worked.
Oh, "hard to treat" depression.
Accused of being nicer, lmao. I had some exhausting trips with golden teacher, yet I somehow reconciled with my parents after that.

Of course, there will be. It ain't gonna commoditize itself, it needs a willing shill like this clown here to push it along to a public conditioned from birth to think it was immoral to try psychedelics, until the corporate world saw potential for big profits
Or pick some 'Magies' a field in September. Do you trust Nature or Big Pharma?
Mushrooms can be a great teacher but only as good as the student. You have to be open to both happy and unhappy parts of yourself and your life. You have to understand that you are a part of something greater than what we see with eyes. We all want the best things for each other because what’s best for you is also what’s best for me. We are just different parts of a bigger whole with the same goal.

This is GOLD
For me psychedelics WAS/IS a "magic fix." Depression and panic anxiety lifted after 3x ayahuasca (5 days in total) in group of 20 and with 6 very competent teachers, and with assistance with integration after. Not so much visions and spirituality for me during or after the sessions, and I do not know about the future, but now, a month later, it still feels magical in terms of the black cloud in my mind lifting - and yet I now feel very ordinary and normal (which is good, just perfect!) - and it feels exciting to finally be totally free of these psychological constraints and barriers, thanks to psychedelics.
@@TaylorGibbs-sf8fk I was microdosing (LSD, shroom) for approx. 6 months prior to ayahuasca, very helpful, although not nearly as helpful for me personally as the ayahuasca-effect.
@@TaylorGibbs-sf8fk microdosing a substance is a good way to form a dependence. It helps with your other addictions because you've just found a replacement 🤗
@@TaylorGibbs-sf8fk Thanks. I have tried microdosing last 6 months. Shroom: Did not do much for me (both micro and macro). LSD: Yes, helped a lot, but not as much and as deeply as ayahuasca.
@@RedValleyMilsim LSD and Mushroom may form a mental dependence - because it works and helps. But that is different from other, harmful dependencies. They are not toxic, and they do not create a physical dependence; you quickly enter a tolerance level when using them, where more is less - with both of them - meaning that the more you administer into your body, the less the effect, and you have to take a break of 2-3 days.
I was hoping to hear the answer to the next obvious question about finding sources for this type of therapy. I would imagine it's not available in all states.
You can buy the spores online legally and grow it yourself.
@@UltimateToronto that's good to know. I feel like it's probably not good to go it alone to get the most effective experience, as mentioned in the video.
@@Idaho_Spud there is no way to go but to go it alone. Listen to some Terence McKenna. Even if you have a tripsitter all theyll be doing is sitting in the other room. Be fearless
If you join a group like "San Francisco Psychedelic Society" online, there are people who can answer questions. To be clear, they don't provide sources.
@@Idaho_Spud I personally feel that it is better to do it alone or with people that you love and trust. Where you are physically and mentally + who is around you will affect your experience.
It is a very introspective drug and I highly recommend to go in to it with purpose
