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.

Psychedelic have the ability to induce profound altered states of consciousness.

My best trips on higher doses of mushrooms have been in my room at night in the complete dark (Normally listening to TOOL) but sometimes not so intense music. But I have had some amazing visuals and (with eyes closed) seen myself as an old man asking me " Is this all you have to offer " repeating it over and over again until I started having crazy memories about things I've mentally buried for 10+ years and all I could do was cry to a point where I was sobbing but it was because I felt like I had a weight lifted off me, that I didn't know was there. Point is, mushrooms can have amazing results but just be careful and prepared. Keep on flying!

taking 4 grams with some lemonade before going kayaking alone was the best trip I’ve ever had in my life

I found that the best antidepressant effects come from me taking between 6-8g of good quality cubensis. However this sort of dose is only for somebody extremely experienced with the headspace. Those high doses have been life changing to me. Taking a strong dose like that every two weeks annihilated thirteen years of suicidal depression, addiction and anxiety. I even accidentally quit smoking. I absolutely fell in life all over again. Simple beautiful. You will totally lose yourself at these sorts of doses and disintegrate. But you also step outside of yourself on the way into ego death and coming back out of it and you become your own psychologist and figure out your own issues. You forgive yourself. You realise that life is malleable and maladaptive thinking does not need to stay static. Life is a canvas and you hold the paint brush. You realise we're all in this together. You realise the fundamentally important things needed to be happy... meaningful human connection. Friends, family, animals too. You realise to be more forgiving of other people. You see that life is like a big playground and you learn to look at everything again with a childlike curiosity. I could go on. Just life changing.

I tried micro-dosing yesterday for the first time, and I had wonderful experience. I'm someone who suffers from chronic depression, and I was simply happy, not overly ecstatic, but genuinely happy and active with my friends and family. I was even excited to get out of bed this morning.

I think "breaking through" is realizing you can Choose to get into the mindsets that we "learn" to access through psychedelics. Usually, to me, it boils down to gratitude and wonder

Hello Adam!! I am writing to you from Chile to tell you that almost a month ago, I had my first experience with psychedelics. I took(ate) 3 gr. from a mushroom called MckennaII. I was fully prepared, my tripsitter was my mom. And I was also ready to surrender. I did a meditation at the beginning and thought if I'm going to have a bad time, it's ok, it is part of the experience. 1 hour later I was completely energized and happy, I started dancing, I don't know how long I was dancing, and no mystical dance or anything like that, dancing to my favorite music in my room. After that, the information came to me that the mushrooms did not want me to suffer, they wanted me to have a good time, everything was great, I felt cared for, I felt loved by the universe, by nature, I saw everything breathe. I did not have hallucinations but I did have optical illusions, I loved the experience and would definitely do it again, perhaps with a slightly higher dose. Thank you for all your advice about having a safe trip. Sorry if my English is not very good.

Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space. It’s wonderful and the fact they serve recreational use and health as well. Can’t say I don’t trip once in a while.

I watched your videos before I tripped for the first time 8 years ago. I can’t put in words how much I appreciate you putting this information out and helping people take them safely/right. thank you for doing what you do 🙏🏽

Bro I loved watching you're channel years ago, life took me in a different direction and now I'm back around! It's great to see you're still making content! The information is really beneficial!

This is one of the best videos you've ever made! It should be shown in classrooms. Bless you and keep going 🌈🌍

9 shroom trips in and I’m nearing my first heroic dose. Much love to this community and all psychonauts !!!

Just had a great trip a week ago. I don't remember when I cried tears of joy in my life, except a week ago. Literally bawling, laughing smiling and telling my friend i'm the happiest I've ever been. Thinking about my late best friend. I came out of the experience so fresh I felt like a new born man.

I enjoyed recreational mushrooms and acid back in the early 90's, but it wasn't until the mid 90's that I did a heroic dose of shrooms with a friend at his cottage and after a 1/2 hour, he told me he didn't feel well and went to bed. I made sure he was okay and then loaded up a cooler full of beer and walked down to the dock to 'be one with nature'. I had no idea at the time but that moment changed my life. I literally talked to my higher power over the next few hours. It 'proved' itself to me(an atheist) and even gifted me with a visit by my yet unknown spirit animal. This was not a hallucination, but a literal visit by an animal that is not known to come near humans. I credit that to my stillness and absolute mental connection to the universe(meditation), but it was special nonetheless. 25 years have passed and I still credit that special night to saving my life. I still feel that connection to the universe and it played a big part in why I became a firefighter in order to help others. A couple decades later, I have found that shrooms are helping my brothers and sisters as well as vets in their own struggles. I am relieved that we are heading in the right direction these days with respect to mental health. I am tired of the war on drugs and freedom. It's time to care for each other. 🤟

the war on drugs was one of the biggest mistakes ever

I’ve ate 7 grams alone about a year ago. The walls were kaleidoscope and an entity made of galaxies opened my window and telepathically asked if I wanted to come see more galaxies. I respectfully declined and he just shrugged it off and closed the window. I then looked in the mirror and saw I have tons of life left in me.

After dabbling around with psychedelics for years, I’ve learned that heroic doses are not needed after you’re able to see through deception and experience what reality actually is.

Hi Adam! Lots of love from Finland! Loving your content a lot, thanks for spreading knowledge and healthy wisdom about these topics. Would love to talk to you in person one day but who knows. All the best to you, your beautiful wife and your awesome team!

Psychedelics is a life changer, it helped cure my ADHD, anxiety and depression of over six years now, The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results

I always tell my friends that ask what its like, that for me it feels like the medicine is like a comb, untangling your messy mind gently and helps you understand what the core issues are and how to go about changing things for the better

Your channel is incredibly helpful overall, and I really appriciate the work you put in to making psychedelic's more well understood. I grew up in an incredibly narrow minded houshold that pushed a very silly view of the world. Drugs were given a black and white description and as I got older I started to see the cracks in that narrative. Eventually I got the courage to expand and try things and now after all this time I have tried the "heroic dose" and I was amazed at how much it did for me. I am trying another dose soon and I have set myself up for a good set and setting thanks to your guidance. I am really thankful for people like you that give opportunities to learn about these substances in a more real and earnest sense

Best channel on KZfaq and wherever..thanks man and keep coming with your uploads and content.

The biggest dose I ever did was 4gs with lemon tell, and it was a trip, it made me realize how much the world really is, i seen the walls morph into things, I felt like I could see myself in a 3rd person point of view. And towards the end of the trip I felt like nothing, but when I started to come out of the who death it made me realize to not take everything for granted, not be so judgmental and that the world is a great place, with lots of things to do and explore. Have a good day all my fellow psychonauts!!

Duuuuude. I was JUST discussing this with my folks. I was telling them how I’m at the point of desperation with my depression and have been researching and considering buying a grow kit.

Wish there was a way to work for you in some way. Im super passionate about real education about "drugs" as a psychology degree holder. Love that you have been a pioneer on KZfaq for so long and have provided such great info for sooooo many people. I cant wait for the next video!

Insightful as always

Mushrooms have been incredibly helpful for self-improvement for me, I was a severe alcoholic for 8 years I just couldn't quit, I was overweight and extremely introverted. With the help of shrooms I have managed to quit drinking (I do still enjoy some wine here and there) I have managed to maintain a healthy weight and my social awkwardness has drastically decreased. It's not a fix all substance though, I do still suffer from depression and loneliness, but overall they have definitely been beneficial!

It's a shame that mushrooms are still illegal for therapy here in Germany. Even for .1g you will get the same penalty like it's heroin or meth

This is such a great channel. I learn so much!!❤

The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself.

30+ Year psychedelic veteran here. I am SO glad to see people taking these videos and the benefits of psychedelic to the public. I have accomplished so much in my life, mico-dosing and hero-dosing. To this day, I trip almost daily to optimize and improve my life.

First time I ever took mushrooms, I went in a 6g of golden teachers. It's was potent but I had experimented with other drugs prior. After 45mins with music on and a log-burner to watch (recommend) I lost consicness and went into a mad Kalidascope of colours. Traveled through different parts of my mind, thinking about reconsiiling with people I had ever argued with, rationalizng with my self about how far this trip was going like, there must have been a villagers back in time mushroom foraging and accidentally taken to many of them mushrooms hungry and I bet they came back from the trip ok. After about 4 hour I start to regain control of my body which was shivering and shaking as I must have been tensing all my muscles for hours. The powerful comeup of the mushrooms was an adrenaline rush in its self and the happiness that came after me and my friends sat laughing at each other and how far gone we had all been for the last 4 hours was amazing. I wasn't able to speak properly for around hour after I came back and still had visuals for around the same amount of time. A proper reset button on the brain which brought me a good few months of joy.

Rooting for you. Keep the videos coming !

Good production. Insightful content. Interesting Subtopics. Hey nice work, Psyched!!

Pumped for the psychedelic revolution

me and my wife was tripping the last few days and we quite literally felt like they consumed our lives because of the time and energy put into monotubs but it was fkin worth every second to be able to exhaust years of trauma in a couple hours

Eyes closed with music is definitely tha way to go. I do it at some point in every trip or at least while I smoke. I like to lie face down. Chakra frequencies and gong baths are lovely, especially with speakers you can feel.

My last heroic dose was 2007...and I was a dedicated psychonaut previous to this. The experience was so complex and powerful that I am still processing everything that happened. I was in the middle of a forest and I gained abilities during the trip that if I was to mention here people would probably tell me to seek help. Sadly it was only for a 2-3 hour period, but it showed me that humans are capable of so much more. I will not say I will never do another heroic dose, but I just haven't felt the need since then.

put an 8th into my smoothie with cayenne pepper, ginger, ashwaganda, alpha brain, power greens and fruit. came into contact with the force that runs reality. beautiful. was scary at first but now more than excited, i am still in connection with them!

I can’t even imagine what the world would be like if LSD was never demonized…

Great show, very on topic. Accurate information. Thankyou

Good show bro

just as i have been watching a bunch of mushroom videos. preparing myself for my first trip later this summer

I micro dosed mushrooms after fighting depression for over 7years, being incapable of work for the last 2years. In shot summary I became depression free within a couple of months and still I'm 6months later it saved me.

Great video, Adam! Thanks

Currently receiving ketamine therapy, and I have to say, his comments about approaching the session were spot on. You have to surrender to being open minded about the experience. You have to follow the narrative as it builds, you can’t try to force your thinking in the experience. And you have to surrender to the notion that you will have some odd thoughts and ideas during the experience. I’m also just beginning my journey of discovering psylociban. Looking forward to more of your experiences and videos.

I just had my first mushroom trip yesterday. It was awesome! Stronger than Mary J and i saw fractal visuals which is amazing because i have aphantasia! I hope shrooms have the ability to cure this imagination blindness. 💭

Beatles after LSD>>>>Beatles before LSD We wouldn’t have gotten Sgt Peppers, Rubber Soul, or Revolver without that influence

Excited to watch

Looking good bro. Keep living your best life.

I did 23g of tidal wave the other week. Phenomenal experience. Watched a lot of walking through the woods videos. Best visuals I've ever had. Would push it higher next time 😁

Tomorrow's my birthday. My family and I are going to be taking mushrooms 🍄 very excited!

looking kinda rough man, glad to see you are sober.

Ads plays *three seconds later* another ad plays. Bro WTF

I took 5 tabs of LSD and stopped drinking immediately, if it wasn't for ol' Lucy I would still be drinking 12-14 beers every day. Unfortunately I have had no luck with LSD or mushrooms for quitting cigarettes.

Much love Adam big up all the psycho naughts out there 👍💚💚

your last few comments reminded me of a video i watched that talked about how christianity moved away from direct experiences of the divine to being told about them and it sure does seem like society would benefit from more people having these more direct and personal experiences of divinity (or whatever youd rather call it) rather than leaving it to a few church leaders to determine what that outer reality really wants or cares about or is looking for

I love you, Adam, and definitely the Beatles before LSD lol. They got a little carried away with everything else after that yogi, Ravi Shankar, taught George Harrison how to play the sitar lol.

I thought this was Sean Evans!! Hot mushrooms! 🍄 Have a show where celebrities do drugs! Wait, that's rogans show !! 😂

Mushrooms literally saved my life.

Your vid helped me through my trip experience last evening. I know you’re busy, but would love to know if you have an opinion on schedule 35?

You know what I like about you Adam? You give excellent pointers with common sense and I love how you don't act dumb or act like a "junkie". You're intelligent as well as being very observant when it comes to experiences. Please don't stop what you're doing. I also love the story reviews. Great work. Keep it up.

my 3rd mushroom trip was a heroic dose and it was very unbelievable and unexplainable

I’ve heard many good things about psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms and their health benefits, I also heard it helps one get through addiction and depression. I’m just wondering where I can get my hands on them cause I’ll love to give it a try. I’m passing through a state of terrible depression lately.

2 tabs of “Veronica” here 8 hours in visuals are in full effect.

I'm glad I got this notification 🙂 thanks

Mushrooms are such a fascinating tool.

I love that you spoke some positive words about Timothy Leary. He was a little out there, but most of his message was positive. Much love!

I wasnt even trying to quit at the time but mushrooms have completely annihilated my addiction to alcohol and cannabis. I am so grateful for this organism!

That video was very interesting, I watched it a while back myself

Heroic dose always catches my attention

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

Heroic starts at 14g for mushrooms. 28+ is considered deathly hallows territory. ☠️

Haven’t watched in a while Adam. Glad to be back I hope you’re doing well man

My first time ever tripping on shrooms was in 2015 and my friend thought it would be a GREAT idea to split 12 grams of PE and i was only 16. Let’s just say I blacked in and out of “consciousness” for 4 hours then it was over. I really wish I took a lower dose because I can’t remember my trip! I do know it felt like I died over and over and over.

They make them illegal to hide them from us . ❤🍄

Gracias por los videos constantes adam saludos!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

I used to have severe anxiety that shaped just before the pandemic, i smoked weed to try to suppress it and get me to sleep, i tried mushrooms and one i was comfortable i got into bigger doses while listening to ambient music and meditating in my dimly lit bedroom, i would get visuals on higher doses and one spoke to me, it looked like an onion peeling and i felt it was representing me peeling my outer layers and shedding my anxiety and that i need to be focusing on my future, after that high i cold turkey quit weed, psychedelics and applied to school, over time my anxieties been getting really better and i feel more confident then ever.

I took 8 grams in 2 mushroom infused bars. My advice? Don't do it. If you do, do it with someone you love and trust to keep you rooted in reality because I promise you, time stops existing, eyes are on the walls, the world is cartoony, reflection in the mirror crazy. But felt sick, got into dmt hell. I was alone, it was night, it was hot. No good set, no good setting. Just don't treat this like a joke, it helped me in a weird way, but if it wasnt for an ex gf who video called me in my bad trip and it helped me not kill myself.

Such a dose can be the best and the worst time of your life.

Bro a good eye mask and some really good headphones is the main way i do it. Its epic

Great video! Dosage... I take 1g with hearing icaros, lying on my bed with eyeshades on, and have an highly emotional and healing trip with only a few optics behind closed eyes... and not wanting to go among people with this dose anymore. Others take 3g and go partying... There is a HUGE span.

psychs got me off good ole cocaine. damn. since theni realized psychs arent only good for meditative states, they can literally help you if you can introspect

My hubby and I grow our own shrooms, so we feel a very special connection to them, even before we ingest them. For us, eyeshades, and music are a must. We love to go "inside" when we trip. Beatles, after LSD (the ones who lived in a submarine), were much better IMO ;)

my boy lookin lookin like an hvac tech, and that's dope

The Beetles after LSD for sure.

I’ve never done shrooms until right now and I ate a whole polkadot chocolate bar and feeling nothing

Shoutout to Ram Dass aka Richard Alpert who wasn’t mentioned here but was also fired from Harvard and became a very significant guide for many of us.🙏🏻

Drugs durgs drugs. Some of the worst addictive and poisonous drugs are white sugar, coffee, SSRI pills and benzos.

I might not have had a heroic dose last night, but 5.7 gs of APE had me lost in a wooded area near my house without knowing what was going on... I am amazed I am not locked up, but I have scratches all up on my arms... Interesting possibly last time for me.... at least for a while and shrooms just don't hit positively for me anymore... which is sad, but it is what it is.

The only bad thing about mushrooms is the fking bots/scammers in all yt videos related to them

I have experienced depression since I was teen, but due to a zealot family I was never allowed to either express my self nor take anything to help myself. So I left home soon after I complete my studies and started working. I trew myself into the business and family but now, at the age of 51, depression is back. I have a wonderful family, a great wife and two lovely kids. But depression is there, like a back pack. Once I have tried LSD (I was 22) and have walked in the beach with friends, but I would have gambled that we were all in a wood... I am all set to start with mushrooms and LSD, even though in Italy is not easy to get them. Thanks to this channel I feel more knowledgable and safe.

Great vid mate 👍

I don’t know if I’m alone in my experience but let me wrap this up, I took a eighth and was with someone very close also experiencing it, lets call him jerry, we also had a trip sitter I’ll just call him tom. Me and jerry fasted the whole day before and of our effects started within 20mins the feeling of rootedness and heavy legs settling upon we sat down on the couch where we watched youtube forever which i was informed later on by tom that it was actually just two 5 min videos, then Jerry had the “bright” idea of putting on eraserhead on hbo, I have never felt such a guttural discomfort before just the few minutes of watching it hit something in my core that id rather not elaborate, tom seeing that we weren’t enjoying it he thankfully changed it too buddhist mantras, at one point we got to the ohm or aom mantra and after doing this with jerry suddenly I wasn’t able to finish the end of the mantra stopping at oh or ao and my eyes would roll back feeling a strange warmth near the crown of my skull, it was one of the most fulfilling feelings I’ve ever had, now 3 days later, yea sorry this is getting long so im skipping stuff… now 3 days later I fasted the whole day meditating, around midnight alone this time at home because tom and Jerry were busy i take what i had left about 7.4g thinking it was a good ratio based of other past experiences, well i wasn’t ready for it this time i put on a mantra playlist chanting along with each one that came on doing this for about 2 hours i just felt the normal clear minded feeling of meditating so i got up to get water then when i went back in my room i started chanting along with what was on, feeling bummed out about not feeling any effects i started being somewhat egotistical about it in my mind thats when it started, chanting along with this mantra, it all of a sudden started to feel like my soul was being sucked out of my forehead, I couldn’t hear anything i wasnt able to move, almost feeling like i wasn’t breathing and my vision was nothing but blobs of the color in front of me, leaving myself to my thoughts where i started panicking thinking to myself i know people don’t die from this but am I going insane, after what felt like forever of not being able to calm down and being in a loop of worrying tom and jerry came back hearing there voices in the background i started coming back into focus when i got abruptly very nauseous and stumbled to throw up in a garbage, coming back from this i feel like im missing something or i didn’t complete something, sadly haven’t figured it out which bothers me still, long story short be careful and always have someone you trust with too help

Let's not forget all pharmaceuticals are only legal because they are able to be controlled and thus taxed. Anything with a seed..(or spore), is difficult to control and tax (profit). This is exactly why Mary Jane has taken so long and exactly why being seedless is marketed as being dank. This applies to most all foods in your local grocery. "Agenda"

I love you Adam keep it up bro

In 1970 we would find mushrooms up to 8 inches wide and have grocery bags full and make tea. Those were the good ole days

A pack of cigarettes is 💯 more dangerous than a shroom 🍄💯. (even though I'm trying to quit 🚬) I probably couldn't have slowed down if it wasn't for the shrooms 💯🙌 idk how, but shrooms helped me & lots of others quit tones of bad habits 🙌 Seriously thank God for shrooms!
