What changes in the recent past have there been in the public perception of psychedelics?

Question

In the last few years, has anyone observed any change in the way mainstream media and the common public talk about psychedelics?

Answer 1

I can't fathom why Psilocybin is illegal in places, the peace you can get from such a small does is immeasurable.
Yet people can walk into any store and buy a drink that will potentially make them violent with a high probability of hurting someone or worse and this is fine.

Answer 2

I'm so happy to hear Andrew change his stance. I was confused when he was against psychedelics.

Answer 3

I LOVE this convo!! I'm late to the game too because I used to believe psychedelics would threaten my sobriety with alcohol so I just considered them off limits (plus they kinda scare the sh!t out of me after a huge mushroom dose I had as a teenager...). Now I realize that actually these visionary plants have the potential to heal a lot of what was under so many of our alcohol addiction in the first place; trauma, anxiety, depression...  
So yea, the recent data helped me change my mind. And so a few months ago, at 13 years sober from alcohol, I went to Peru and drank ayahuasca for the first time. And honestly I don't think it would have been possible to heal and evolve in the way that I have from ayahuasca with any other healing modality. There's something deeply profound, beyond words, to experience what seems like existing as consciousness traveling through dimensions without a body, mind, personality, identity... and then come back. It really puts everything in a new perspective and has left me feeling very empowered.

Answer 4

From my personal experience with cosmonuating the psylocybin experience i did get the most theraputic benefits from closed eyes controled setting with a kit of grounding mechanisms,personal safety anchors and specifically solfeggio frequencies from instrumental guitar music.these controled experiences were extremely transformative and helped me in the domain of social relatedness and empathy,confidense with people and it seems to help dissolve alot of fear.i fear less and thats the most important!

Answer 5

My youngest teenage son seemed to mature almost over night early last year.  Then I noticed him meditating.  In talking with him I learned he had tried some mushrooms and it had changed his reality. The way he described it was to let go of everything and see it without any bias.   I've been wanting to try them ever since.  All this stems from my "stuck" son who is so depressed he can sleep for 16 hours a day sometimes..  I think mushrooms are quietly changing our world.

Comments

hey question what kind of mushroom did he use and how much i really wanne try this for my depression

Indigenous People always have known the Truth, and the Truth of Nature. The West is far behind.. Which explains the disconnect and spiritual warfare in America. Your right.

Answer 7

Hi everyone.  I did psilocybin last night for the first time. I'm 19 YR.
And trust me its like you reach out to  everything you always wanted. Its like you meet the divine energy and higher power. And that loving energy comes from the mind. And that blows your mind. Its like there is absolutely no past , now , or future. Time doesn't mean anything if U R on the right does.

Brother what dose exactly?

Answer 8

I wholeheartedly agree. I’m a 54 yr old mother of 4. I’ve taken  half a dozen times over the last 40 years and each time my empathy for myself has grown exponentially. I also have a way more fun and lighthearted view of life

Look up the name above for quality supplies at good rate too and guide on dosage

Answer 9

Talks like these are instrumental to the “bending of the arc” that Tim mentioned. These things are powerful and not to be conflated with the broad category of “drugs” that people use solely to have a good time or escape real problems. Psilocybin is powerful and has been very important in my own growth and development and I can’t wait for more to be discovered about these mystical mushrooms.

Answer 10

@1:00 can we address how this is an issue for not just psychedelics but with anything "edgy". Why should someone lose their career for having alternative opinions to the status quo? I think our institutions and society at large has failed if we can't explore uncharted waters. Sticking to that metaphor, had humanity never explored literal uncharted waters, we would never be the global and united (mostly) species that we are now. I find most people's capacity for seeing the big perspective is really really limited, and then those same people make laws which holds back the entire human race just because their thinking hasn't caught up yet. Not to sound overdramatic, but I can't think of a worse crime against humanity than that, and I would be willing to remove those people who stand in the way of progress by any means necessary. There, I said it.

Comments

Well said. The policy makers are usual scared people, with big egos, covering their own ass and therefore play safe. It is indeed immensely damaging.
How we can turn the tide.

---

Well, you didn't say it completely. Not until you check out Timothy Alberino's Birthright book, or talks, THEN you will have SAID IT, in its entirety.






















There, I really SAID IT.

Answer 11

Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress..saved my life.

Does Mr Winston ship?

---

Yes, he ships discreet and anonymous

---

While tripping make sure to find a good mycologist who teach you the right things you need to know

---

This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I reach out to Mr Winston for guidance?

---

sure!! he is the best mycologist i would recommend for you

---

my advice: Don’t be scared of bad trip..Bad trips sometimes unlock certain hidden parts about yourself and the innermost fears.

---

Psychedelics should be done when you are in a right state of mind, but many abuse it…

Answer 12

Believe it should be said: the REAL HEROES of this story are the Indigenous practitioners, shamans and medicine men/women that have not only had the courage to preserve the medicinal plant practices of their culture in the face of insurmountable challenge and existential threat from outsiders, but also the wisdom, grace and humility to pass the knowledge on to those same interlopers despite all the violence and hostility they have endured.

Much love and respect for the original stewards of plant medicines, as well as those who continue to bear the torch

Comments

Very very well said thank you

---

I’m also surprised he didn’t mention Fadiman ? Among those heroes holding the torches. Really he grandfathered the whole Microdosing movement starting in the 60s and wasn’t he at Stanford too? I thought it was odd that he wasn’t mentioned on that shortlist. Excellent clip though

---

Absolutely beautifully said thank you

Answer 13

I work with a treatment team that offers this and the results have been so compelling ❤

Comments

Where is that treatment place Jessica ?

Answer 14

I've  found listening  to enlightening discussions more impactful when on psilocybin.

Answer 15

I had an experience with a high dose of Mushrooms (almost 4 grams).
It was not a pleasant trip (I  "died" several times, among other strange experiences), but after I've ended up with a solid idea: suicide has no sense.
So, yes, psychedelics can be a strange but good way to deal with depression and related negative mind states.

Comments

Why did you come to the conclusion that suicide had no sense?

Answer 16

FINALLY!  WE ARE SO GLAD Dr. Huberman has kept an open mind, did his research into the modern research, and shared what he has learned! No mention of Dr. Paul Stamets? The Stamets Stack to treat neuropathy via neurogenesis.

Answer 17

Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here

Comments

Taking 2grams was a wonderful experience for me

---

Yes,he's got other psychedelic too

---

One of my best experiences in my life was doing lsd and writing a paper on my interpretation of God and how the universe works, it was amazing and i got an A in the college class of comparative religion

Answer 18

MDMA literally changed my life. I'm lucky to not have any psychological issues but after one session I was a different, and better person.

Answer 19

NN DMT helped me go through a 30 years never ending mourning of my grand mother. Instantly! I can't explain what happened in my brain. But I have to say I am happy I found it

Comments

Kind of amazing how if you take something that kills the ego, you can actually process stuff you've been stuck in for too long.

Answer 20

Dr. Please consider doing a teaching topic on Pysylocybin for Brain Cloudiness from long haul Covid. Tks
