💯. This content is so important; thank you for talking about it. Before psychedelics, I was depressed and heavily medicated with no will to live. Afterwards, I still experience depression but now have purpose and utilize other support tools in intentional support. Realistic expectations are important!

It’s about the process!

Gracias ahora se cual es mi opción dios les bendiga

Wow! Thank you all so much for sharing your story and providing this critical information.

My name Jami I'm a 38 year old stroke survivor I had an ischemic stroke in February and the article about Jake really got me. I want to give this a try 13:21

Among the most underrated podcast on psychedelics! You guys go deep. Thank you so much!

How do I find one of these coaches

Thank you for putting out these important nuanced discussions

I believe our minds are leftovers from our days of being a mushrooms and the mind works like mycorrhiza.

Everybody talks about healing and all this stuff. I need no healing. My past is blissful. I just love shrooming! It’s my party drug and I am freaking in heaven every time I do it no matter what as long as it’s above 1 g. I lay on my bed with my eyes closed with the LED lights on, put on some great house music and just enter heaven. I want to do it every day! But I don’t know if it’s safe. Based on this video, I learned there’s a two week reset. I probably won’t be able to wait that long, but I absolutely love all of the lights and images that I see. Absolutely beautiful. Magic mushrooms are the best thing on the planet.

What about daily doses? Less than a gram?

It’s so hard to know who you can trust!

Completely agree

About to have my first meeting with facilitator Monday. Hope we're a match.

Churches? How so?

This is mind blowing to me. Had no idea codeoendancy was an issue that could be worked on theough psilcybin therapy. What a relief to me because i struggle heavily with the exact same thing.

How many times per week taking 1 grams of it is ok to do ?

Thanks for being so open and sharing your journey. I found it to be very relatable to one that I had been on recently. It’s comforting to hear similar stories on how you were feeling and thinking in the moment. I hope it can give me more courage to let go and trust the medicine more as I am new to this journey and know that someone with your experience has similar journeys.

That sounds pretty cool! I’ve been thinking about setting up a call online to join a program.

Your website has a lot of broken items. I'm discouraged but trying to use this video to self-treat

You talk too much bro

good stuff

23:00 I think that is for me like you say little bits at a time 🐝

Obviously this not for a microdoser! 🙂😉

Thank you 🐝🌷🐝😊

I’m glad I found this channel I’m learning so much Thank you ! 🐝🌷🐝

This is just what I need to think about .. what do I want to gain from micro dosing .. I’ve done lsd and shrooms in the past for fun .. now I’m older 59 yrs. Old I feel I need to reconnect to my spiritual side again I’m tired of what I have been focusing on for the last 21 years .. time to go back before social media and the worlds issues ✌🏻🙏🏼🍄🐝🌷🐝

I’ve done lsd for fun and I know how that feels it was good now Im taking microdoses to find out if it helps with my mental health not that I have issues .🙂🐝🌷🐝

I’m new here great info 🐝🌷🐝

I’m researching micro dosing great info I’m waiting for my shipment and experiment on my days off from work 100 mg seems to be the best micro dose I’ve noticed from different sources I want to make sure I take in the morning and still feel normal to work and so on🙂✌🏻

Dr Blei is changing minds through psychedelics, and saving lives through his testing products. Bravo! Dr blei is one of the only scientists talking about turpins and entourage effect on mushrooms, with data to back up conclusions. Dr blei needs his own podcast!

Thank you so much for broaching this topic. I was planning on asking about this topic on the next Q&A, specifically around mood dysregulation and depression due to low estrogen levels during perimenopause.

Wow so grateful to have discovered this channel you guys rock 🎉❤

Hello do you have any recommendations for a solo journey dose?

Yall are awesome. Came here to justify taking shrooms at the 30 day mark - wanting to take them “recreationally”, and was so surprised to hear you articulate the things I’ve said about mushrooms in a far more concise manner. Love everything you both said. The first time I tripped (5 years ago) I remembering telling my friend “I cannot abuse these” because it was so wonderful. I’ve yet to have a “bad trip” somehow… the closest I’d say I came to describing a trip as “bad” was the 10gs I took 6 months ago which basically had me catatonic, feeling immense pleasure (while unable or unwilling to move around) and then dealing with a top 5 worst headache of my life. Clearly abuse at that point. I totally agree about this “integration period” which is a new phrase that helps describe what I’ve recommended to others and I LOVE that yall are coming from a place of minimizing dependence on externalities. I’m subscribing forsure and looking forward to more from you both. P.S I’m still thinking about doing the mushrooms in 2 weeks just because I’m not approaching it from a “healing” perspective, but one of enjoying a cheat weekend on my weight loss journey (as well as I love the burst of creativity and ability to sit with a subject for hours without losing interest.) As I say it, it sounds like a rationalization, but to be honest, mushrooms have always blended recreation with introspection from me. I spend a lot of my free time playing around with different approaches to developing myself, almost as a hobby… and I’m certainly getting better at putting those approaches, which start as simple ideas, into practice. Though now that I’m writing this out, I feel there’s more I could do and should work to accomplish without the use of a psychedelic assist, since my awareness of the issue should be enough to facilitate action. Now I’m thinking of using the psychedelics as a “reward” for putting more of my ideas into practice… Clearly I’m thinking about shrooms in a different context than you, and though you’re likely not going to read this book I’ve just written, I would be curious as to what you thought about it. The irony is I’ve actively preached to others about how special mushrooms are and how I don’t like taking them for “pure recreational reasons”, though when I look back on the 9-10 times I’ve done shrooms, it’s hard for me not to see them as that. Since I’m naturally introspective it’s hard for me to delineate between the “trip” and my everyday life. The biggest difference I see is my ability to FOCUS on a single topic I find interesting… a topic that in some way stems from my own perspective (since everything including other people’s perspectives are ultimately filtered through my own)… but a topic that doesn’t necessarily CENTER around self improvement in the way yall are talking about it here. Part of me feels guilty and like I’m betraying the statement I made on my first trip to “never abuse” this wonderful drug, and another can frame recreation as a healthy habit as well, given it’s done in moderation. I mean, a lot of people in the “hippie” psychedelic community preach about how “alcohol has no “medicinal” value, it’s just recreational…” and I understand what they’re saying in a sense, but at the same time, I think recreational activities and the “externalities” that come with them can be incredibly medicinal insofar as they produce positive effects on you as a person that outlast the “ceremony” / recreational activity itself. They can of course be abused just like “real medicine”… you can over-indulge… but they serve a purpose if used correctly, which brings me to why I came to this video… to find out if 30 days is “long enough” to not “abuse” psychedelics… of course instead of confirming what I wanted to be true, I came across a carefully thought out approach to dealing with that type of question… and now I’m basically in the same place I was prior to watching this video.. so thanks for NOTHING! 😂 Nah… seriously, yall are awesome and the irony around “time dilation” which I’m guessing just means “recognizing time is a construct” (no I’m not gonna look it up, just gonna go off of context clues and write this potentially ignorant comment) … THAT made me smile! Can’t say how much I appreciate people like you who take the time to have a nuanced discussion about this incredibly beneficial drug (when used appropriately.) Love and best wishes from a new fan! 🙏

I would like to speak to making a generalization of using SSRIs as an easy way out or the lazy way of just popping a pill instead of working on the problems. Some people absolutely do. There are also people who have worked their very hardest and still find that their experience of their disease torments their entire waking lives. In the field we have a saying, a gentle reminder, "pills don't build skills." Brain chemistry can improved so that one may be in a space to face their trauma, improve their windows of tolerance, learn and apply new tools. Psych meds ABSOLUTELY save lives and assist individuals in being able cope with day to day living. I absolutely prefer earth medicine. I know that psychedelic medicines are highly beneficial for the disease of mental health disorder. Either way can be highly beneficial or not beneficial at all. Mental health is highly personal and there is not one single medication that works for everyone. I don't want individuals to feel less than if pharmaceuticals are necessary to help them thrive. I am loving this episode. It's so important to get alternative paths to the people. Thank you for your work.

You talk too much. Let the guest inform us

❤

Someone shared this video with me because I'm about to embark on my first journey. I've already watched so many, but this one was the first that was extremely helpful! It covered all the areas that are important. Plus, you seem to truly care about sharing the message about the great benefits of psychedelics. Thank you!

Cost?

Can you do a podcast episode about shrooms and eating disorders, preferably Anorex.? I just got back from having 2 journeys and my body dysmorphia is completely gone, like COMPLETELY. (It’s been a week now) I’m not sure if it’s just during this glow period and when it may reveal itself again, but I’m just so grateful on how much better I feel inside and out. I’m integrating each and every day the best I can, but it feels like I just touched a layer within me. It feels like I have so many more layers to explore and connect with. My ED thoughts are definitely not 24/7 and it doesn’t feel as consuming and compulsive as it did before. I have a long road of integration ahead of me, but I definitely know in my heart I’ll be called to this medicine again. My chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic brain fog (that has made me debilitated since 2019) is just gone, for the most part!! Like it’s crazy how healing this medicine is, spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally!! My first journey was physically so so painful, because I was purging and reliving so much of my trauma I’ve numbed out with my ED, but by the 2nd journey I was able to move through the trauma easier and actually experience insight and epiphanies. I just wanted to share my story so far, and how healing it truly was for me. I’m also curious if you’ve had any ED clients and what they’ve gotten out from their journeys?! I love all of your episodes and am excited to hear more!💖

How long should i wait in between using at least 5-7gs cause ive been told if u do them to Frequently u could mess up ur brain in a way.

How long do you have to be completely off of venlafaxine (after properly tapering) .. to ensure the full effect of a dose of mushroom. Want to wait long enough so that I know I get to have the full effect. I’ve never taken it before and was already in mist of tapering then decided to use the mushroom. Read I should take 8 mg

I’m confused are you saying that if you successfully taper off than the vaccines you can write away take the psychedelics with no problem and they work or there’s a big chance that it won’t work for a long time?

I take either acid or Mushrooms once every 14 days. The narrative continues to dig and expand my inner capacity. I’m sure this will sound crazy, but, what if, WHAT IF, psychedelics CAN trigger embedded expression of DNA, so potential mutation based on the optimization of our species to adapt to world we live in. Psychedelics might temporarily open a door to experience abilities that we have yet to evolve into, or perhaps, that we evolved out of. Just a thought. Anyhoo. Psychedelics don’t deplete the body of serotonin. That would be MDMA. People are back at base level within 10-14 days. Most of our tolerance gets recouped within 72hrs. Then it’s gradual intervals until complete tolerance is quenched. There are SOME not many, who can benefit from Tripping, even, weekly. As long as they are integrating and doing so safely, the substances aren’t really going to hurt them. They stand the risk of developing HPPD, especially If they are using LSD frequently. Like you said, everyone is different, it’s subjective, but don’t knock a psychonaut who is benefitting from intentional, albeit, more frequent, usage procedure. Oh, and you can’t be dependent on this stuff. Ya just can’t.

Love these episodes, very helpful.

Thank you for sharing that info. I'm a Psychologist and a "fresh psychonaut", just beginning to dive into the depths of the psychedelic experience through psylocybin. It's been really interesting so far, and your work is actually helping me to produce some insights regarding my experiences. Keep up the good work, cheers from Brazil!

If you're taking 2.5 to 4g and want a body high / euphoria / visuals, you're going to want to leave it at least a week. You will benefit from leaving it for 2 weeks every once in a while. Don't want to waste that wonder fungus.
