Just over 2 weeks after this video was posted, Health Canada legalized psilocybin for medicinal use 👍🍄

When people go through trauma, they can become disillusioned. It seperates you from people still stuck in their npc program. The fantasy of normal is over. Then you start to see personalities as personas, and they become repetitive. Society molds people into generic shapes (sports teams, political preferences, religion, colour, etc..) and you assimilate accordingly. Its exhausting being around others, and the predictability of the interactions is irritating

This video really struck a chord with me. There is nothing to “fix”. You are not broken or wrongly wired. Self acceptance is the key 🔑 . Stay strong 💪

I had a 3 gram trip that helped with my anxiety tremendously. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

Holy shit dude, I did 8 grams , and I was telepathically talking with the shroom, closing my eyes, sliding and seeing behind the veil into another room in gods mansion.

Stumbled across this video while looking for trip reports, and I absolutely loved it. Thank you for sharing.

You're never too old to reconnect with yourself my dude. I am 44 and have not tripped for almost two decades. Until this summer. I revisited for much the same reasons as you. Still in my journey, good luck with yours. You're more normal than you will ever realize

Goosebumps from your story. On first glance: tough guy, after watching the video: a human struggeling, being vulnareble and sharing his way to healing, inspiring others. Thank you for opening up and sharing. We as men need a lot of healing.

In my personal experience you just have emotionally closed your heart off to protect yourself from feeling grief. It's not a disorder just a survival mechanism we all have to protect us from feeling repeated trauma. In the same way our hands develop a callous, our inner nervous system does as well from early stressful experiences. It can make us cold hard and numb as we grow into adulthood. You have a brain in your heart it is much smarter than the one in our heads, focus your awareness there. You are on the beautiful road of healing buddy thank you for sharing with us glad I found this video tonight.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

Take balls of steel to admit YOURE A SELF AWARE human!! Not many of us left dude. U dont have any disorder! Society IS THE PROBLEM!

I love that you posted this on your main channel. This thing called life is not simple. I appreciate you brotha.

I find it amazing how when you are under the effect of shrooms, you can have a thought and then you tap deeply into the question and figure it out and i mean, like 100 thoughts in the matter of 5 minutes and they are all answered but soon forgotten and the answer is always so hard to put into words.

i can relate to you. the bad trips are the best sometimes because in my experience when you reach the end of the tunnel, it is like escaping a nightmare and it shows you humility and humbles you. and makes you so appreciative . thanks for sharing man take care!

I'm starting to see it on people's face and eyes whether or not they've done psychedelics. There's this amazed, slightly terrified smile and a look of absolute AWE.

Very fitting that I had this video recommended as I will not bore you with the details, but I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. It’s greatly appreciated!!

Thank you sharing this. Putting something out there like this is not easy -- props to you for being willing to do so.

Love the video bro. Keep learning and growing as a person! I too was in a hospital as a kid with my sister for the same reason.

Thank you so much for sharing. I can relate to so many things you said and I’m glad to know that I’m not alone. If you made it this far in life, probably you must be here for a reason! I can sense that you’re a great individual! Totally loved the way you presented yourself. It really came from within and for that you can be proud of yourself man!

I love the honestly and vulnerability! It’s very refreshing to hear.

Bro, Thanks for making this. I stumbled across this while looking for trip reports and your honesty and self reflection about your experience truly helps me realize I’m not alone.

Most people's internal dialog is like a skipping record telling themselves how the world is and who they are over and over. Psychedelics push the needle out of the groove. They are a tool like any other. Way to put in work brother.

Bro you are not crazy. You’re a beautiful soul and an amazing person. Thank you for sharing your story. I learned a lot from you

Takes alot of courage to post something this deep. Thankyou for sharing. Powerful stuff.

It's great to hear such honest account of your experience, they have been the most profound experiences of my life, right up there with my son's birth, like totally life changing, and you keep learning from these experiences.

thank you so much for your willingness to be vulnerable in order to share this experience with the world. relatable.

Your story resonates on many levels with me. Glad you're still with us in the land of the living brother.

You’re not crazy I’ll tell you a secret we’re all mostly traumatized

you're awesome man, love to hear ppl's storys

Your experience and your transparency are SO precious and your insights SO helpful! Although I am many years older than you, I am also on a path and learning about the power we each have to understand our own motivation and behavior so we can lead a more joyful, meaningful life. Please know that your video not only validates this path for your viewers but inpires us to go further. Thank you!

First time I watched anything from you and I so appreciate your authenticity, honest sharing xxx

Thank you for having this talk with us, brother .. we love you

There's nothing wrong with you. It's the slave society that traumatizes us and is making us sick. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏❤️

Subbed. I relate to you so much. Especially when you said you started educating yourself about different things. After my psychedelic experience I did the same thing. Friends come and go. Family is forever. Much love bro.

Thank you for sharing part of your story with us 🙏 ..."I was good enough to go home" got me..

i ate around 20g grams when i was 15/16. nobody told me to wait, so i just kept eating till i felt something. It ended up being one of the most scary things ive ever experienced in my entire life. I totally feel where you are coming from especially about moving around all the time and such.

Thank you for making this video. God Bless. You here for a reason. So motivating.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m on that journey as well. I do overly appreciate you. Thank you 🫂

Awesome video!! I bet you wouldn't believe how relatable you are.

Hey man, I’m just seeing this video but, this is awesome. I don’t know you but I can tell just from the pure joy in your voice how much you have changed and how much joy this has brought to your life. So happy for u especially due to your trauma. Thank u for sharing

Your not broken, keep on moving forward. We are all here to learn and grown and its now your time to shift your consciousness. Thank you for sharing.

Very honored to hear your story brother. Strength only derives from overcoming hardship.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. You are very brave going 14g.

Good for you man! You're kicking ass, much love♥️🙏

Hey! I'm a trauma therapist interested in psychedelic assisted therapy, with a penchant for youtube. Found myself on your channel this evening and wanted to say thank you for sharing. Keep growing :)

First time viewer, great subject matter! Proper use of certain compounds do take the blinders off of your eyes. Only by changing ourselves can we change the world. Great video!

This is a great video man. You have come along way from where you were. Keep going forward on your journey and take care. You are an amazing person.

Showing authentic Vulnerability shows exceptional strength and courage, truly remarkable. This can be ascribed from your psychedelic journey.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this personal information. I'm happy you are on such a powerful self healing journey. So many of us have experienced childhood trauma. Peace and love to you.

Thank you for sharing part of your past. Your video has helped me more than words can express. 😊

Hi Duane, that was a fascinating insight into your life and personal feelings. As a regular viewer of your car related videos, it’s easy to forget that you have a whole life of other experiences and thoughts outside working on cars. You were correct when you said that all the superficial fake things aren’t important and don’t make you happy. Like you, I’m in my 40’s and own 3 modified cars which my younger car friends think is awesome and often tell me how lucky I am to have such nice rides, but I keep telling them that the cars aren’t that important and they don’t bring me true happiness. I honestly prefer to look at other people cars at meets, learn new ideas, and ask questions rather than talk about my own cars. There are so many greater priorities in life such as spending time with friends and family, meeting new people, taking care of yourself through diet and exercise, getting out and exploring the world, etc. I found the videos of your trip to Jasper fascinating and it makes me want to come to Canada and explore. Lastly, you were spot on when you said you needed to put yourself first. Forget worrying about meaningless details like number of subscribers, views, putting out regular videos that you think people want to see, etc. It’s your channel and you decide what content to put out there. Only do it because you enjoy it and as long as it’s not distracting you from more important things you want to do. Make videos based on what you’re currently working on, and those who are interested will follow you for the journey. I’m loving your WRX rebuild videos and following them with keen interest. Keep up the good work!

I DANCED SOOOO MUCH YESTERDAY!! SMILED AND LAUGHED THE MOST AND GENUINE TOO. MORE THAN I HAVE SINCE my loved ones passed!! Seriously such a great day yesterday and today too. I'm so very grateful for this fungi

I loved every second of this. Thank you

love this! Please consider posting more trip reports!

Wow, what a heartfelt video. Your facial expressions expressed a lot. Good luck with your new journey, we still have so much to discover.

Hey Duane, I just stumbled across this video looking for Cubensis trip reports and well I found your video by chance lol (the first video of yours I’ve seen), it was so honest & you shared a lot of wisdom in it. Considering the conditions of the world we humans undergo, it’s not so “crazy” to be deemed “crazy/outta whack”. In fact it’s a natural response to society’s disorder & mania. Thanks for the vulnerability truly. I’m actually interested in your more candid side, but I subbed cause I’ve been interested in cars lately & wouldn’t mind seeing sit down videos like this or vlogs, don’t be afraid to express that side of yourself more if that’s a what your intuition is showing to you. Keep searching for truth, Accept All, Reject Nothing. You’re on a great track, pat yourself on the back & keep going. Much love. -B✨

Thank you for sharing your experiences. It means a lot.

This was one of the rawest realist documentary. Like Bro i appreciate you for sharing. Just had a home coming myself and i felt every single word. Thank you

I was so concerned i would not find this channel again. Thank you for uploading your experience. I really appreciate it.

For what it is worth I have enjoyed your 'company' watching these videos over the years, including your wee trip rambling up the hills. Having climbed many hills in Scotland I have found it a great way to recharge and reconnect with yourself. I tend to get my 'highs' from music and sometimes find the inspiration and explanation I need or feel from songs. Just watching your video has inspired me to put on Led Zeps 'Ramble On'.....and Jethro Tull's 'Inside'.....keep on rambling on (physically and verbally) and making your videos if it helps. All the best.

Thank you so much for being brave to express your vulnerability. It brings tears to my eyes hearing these honest self reflections

Thanks for sharing! I'm currently experimenting with them as well to deal with my own mental health! This video was very useful to watch! All the best 👍

This is an absolute wonderful share… Good for you brother… Thank You for sharing the important stuff… Best video on your channel by far… Wisdom is definitely located in this video

Keep leveling up brother! ✌️🤜

It took a lot for you to share what you did in this video. I just came across it randomly and liked how honest you were about your experiences. The drug war has set humanity back about 50 years in understanding how certain plants and chemicals can help with pain, illness, and mental health, which is extremely unfortunate. Tides are changing, so with any luck, we will be treating more people using nature instead of harmful pharmaceuticals.

You are awesome. Every word, every energy.

Thanks for taking the time to share!

Mad props for laying it all out there man. I've never seen your channel before but this vid was great and really heartfelt. I'm glad you're on the right track. Respect brother 🤙

Brother - this was REAL! Especially the part when you said “I’m so (bleepin) lucky to be here” 😂 Brooo! Me too. Good job!

So glad I stumbled upon this video man! can't wait to see the rest of your journey on your second channel!

Dude. Thank you for sharing. Responsible use is imperative and you exemplify that. Your honesty is deeply appreciated. Thank you for doing the work brother.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us! 🙏🏾🌻💗

thanks man for this powerful story from the heart

Thanks for sharing!!! Very heart felt and inspiring.

Amazing testimony, brother. Keep going ♥️

i cant imagine taking 14gs i took 5gs recently ( i was in a bad headspace) so it was very overwhelming on the come up and very intense. i was highly sensitive to everything around me and once i closed my eyes and let the mushrooms take over it was life changing.

Love your humility, and the love that showed in sharing this. You're the real deal. You're the kind of person that I look for in a friend. You're willing to look inside yourself and be honest about what you see. “The secret of life is to “die before you die” - and find that there is no death.” Eckhart Tolle.

Came across this in my recommended. Thank you for sharing your story and the good message of psychedelics! God bless!✌️🙏

Hey man I love that you made this video! You are not alone by any means, a lot of us have spent our entire lives with that feeling of just being lost, not finding our place, enjoying solitude, and in my case, feeling kinda like there is a higher purpose for me that i just don’t understand what that is. Psychedelics have changed my life

I'm glad you shared your story. It gives me hope that psilocybin will be able to help me through my own journey.

thank you. This video did so much more than "some" psychology sessions i went to. (counseling does help!) Everything you said in this video, i needed to hear and can i relate to. I was going to type a lot more but thi is online and I don't want others to see lol keep up the content, whether it's this or about what you're educating yourself about, anything You've got a new subscriber! Love and light brother

Absolutely enjoyed your video, thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Very glad you decided to record this and even more glad you decided to post it. I have been considering a heroic dose for months to deal with things i have been trying to figure out within myself. I could see that parts of this story were hard for you to get out and i'm grateful that you were brave enough to share.

This is the only video of yours I have seen, just found it whilst looking for trip reports. I don't even know what you usually do on this channel. Your story had some parallel with my own life, I agree that psychedelics have great healing potential. Good luck on your journey.

I don’t tend to comment on videos, I feel like this video has spoken to me in a way that I simply must comment. Firstly, I must applaud the honesty and attention you’ve given to your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I’ve been thinking about using mushrooms in a similar way and, searching for videos regarding other people’s experiences, I have to say that this video shows real depth, and I think you’ve articulated yourself well. I’ve had a few difficulties with other people (in a general sense) since I can recall, for the last couple of years I’ve been seeing a counsellor for some psychodynamic therapy, it seems that some of the insights you’ve had on psilocybin are on a similar level to those I’ve been having in my therapy. I’d recommend you incorporating a talking therapy into your week to anyone, but especially to you after hearing your thoughts and memories (and the thoughts on your memories), I sensed some shame from you during this video, I think it’s mainly shame about your actions as a child. My therapist said something to me once that has made a big difference in my mind, he said that I was judging my child-self as though he were me now. It made me realise that I’d never judge a small child in as harsh a manner as I judged myself for doing what I remember doing as a child. After that session I went home and told my partner about my greatest shameful experience, fully expecting to be judged by her, but instead she unburdened herself of her most shameful secret memory from her childhood. It was the most liberating experience I’ve ever had. I’m impressed by anyone who wants to better understand their self, and who want to better themselves. Thank you for doing this video; it’s relieving to see I’m not alone in having inner anguish.

Very inspiring, thank you so much for being you. Much love !!

Hell yeah brother. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for posting this. Its amazing how individual we all feel, yet the emotions we all experience are very similar and also the mental health issues that arise from trauma. Behaviour patterns or whatever textbook phrase you want to use...'Self destruction'. The vandalism and fires you set as a kid. I was the same and at 33 i still have mental issues which i know stem back to childhood, or some sort of undiagnosed thing. Feeling as though people treat me like im stupid my whole life so it led me to not even try... though i feel as if ive always been able to see through people and their veneer. My bullshit detector has always been pretty sharp i feel haha. Starting my journey to find out what the fuck is wrong with me too 😅. All the best to you brother.

I subbed because of this story. Thank u for that. It helps me with some of my theories I have surrounding psychedelics. Without these stories I wouldn't have any data other then my own. Maybe you don't know how valuable these are but they are. Experiences on psychedelics are of great value.

Thanks for sharing your story man. Much respect to your journey. Glad your at this point in it and with us to share it here, with all of us. Whichever percent of your subscriber base watches. ✌🏽

Thanks for sharing bro. Hope to hear more about your psychedelic stories

Thanks for sharing your experience with us bro!! It really resonates.. 🙏 Namaste

I appreciate you sharing your incredible experience. It must have been hard to go through, and probably equally as hard sharing, but know that the appreciation is immense. I too had a breakthrough, but on LSD, not shrooms. Realizing that we are all one and intricately connected, not only to each other but to everything in this universe was the most humbling and eye-opening experience. When the illusion of the self fades, and you fall deeper into the real "you" (whatever that means, those of you who know, know, words cannot describe it), you realize that there is no "normal" and that this illusion of society and difference we have is just that, an illusion. We need to be kind to each other, because after-all, we're all the same. Your suffering is ultimately my suffering, and after my experience, I truly believe such a thing. I have not deemed it necessary to dive back into that experience, as it was a rather traumatizing one (I had a rather traumatic complete dissolution of my ego), but I really appreciate people taking the journey and learning about themselves and the truth about what we are. We are the divine experiencing itself. There is a source, and we are all a part of it. I wish endless love, happiness, and growth for you my friend.

nothing but positivity your way brotha ! needed to watch this honestly

Wish you well bro! Thank you for sharing your journey. Keep doing what your doing 💜

Thanks for sharing brotha. I am 24 and in Dec 2020 at my lowest point found mushrooms... Actually they found me. And saved my life. They just started popping up. It shattered my reality. The next day I Googled "Believing in God after shrooms." I am not religious but believe we are all God having a human experience. That's what shrooms tap you into. You definitely aren't crazy. I also had to Google "am I crazy?" and the result was "If you are aware you might be crazy, you aren't." We are just like you said "leveling up." There is a mass spiritual awakening happening. I see repeating numbers and stuff everywhere now. I totally believe in time traveling through emotions. Creating that feeling takes you back to relive, change, heal and understand since trauma is stored at a cellular level.

I see a kind sole, a person this world is lucky to have. Good luck Sir!

It's beautiful man, truly inspiring.

Thanks for sharing brother. Beautiful stuff. 🙏

This is awesome! It really sounds like the psilocybin has been healing and theraputic on so many levels. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. 💓 It was beautiful to hear your story and you could really see your gratitude for being alive today. 🙏💗 I am glad you are here still too to share your story and still experience life. You are not crazy! You are right where you are supposed to be. Hearing your past, It makes so much sense you feel the way you do.
