Got me checking multiple times if i didn’t accidentally put this vid on sped up.. could be me, or the shrooms i am not sure any ways good video💯

I am weaning off of EFFEXOR. The side effects of EFFEXOR are horrible. And the weaning side effects are even worse. It appears to me that the psychiatric patented drugs actually cause depression in the long run because the brain is being taught to re-use seratonin but create less and less of it naturally. So I as a grown up who raised two children, have had careers and businesses, have taken it upon myself to help myself without “authority” of a psychiatrist. They don’t say anything anyway. Just ask you how you feel about something. Well with my very limited if course not to be taken seriously experienced, I have learned to put an eye cover over my own eyes, listen to nice music that I put on, purchased and am able to play on my own, and take the psilocybin on my own. And yes, psilocybin works very well for depression. Amazingly well, even without the psychiatrist. I think it’s absolute bullshit that doctors have more authority over our bodies than we do. Any ill Ed’s I’ve ever had; I’ve had to cure on my own. Whenever I go to a doctor, they gaslight. That’s all they do. Is gaslight. They lie, tell you to take things that don’t work and make a person sicker and more dependent on more of their bad drugs. And even if pharma decided to provide psilocybin, I wouldn’t trust it. I’d rather pick the mushrooms on my own, I trust myself far more than any doctor. Not after what I’ve been through with lying physicians and certainly not after what they did to me with those vaccines. No one! In my family, my grandparents, great and great great grandparents have had heart disease. After my second forced shot in Canada, I had a heart attack after three hours. the third forced shot; I had another heart attack. Doctors are no longer in the health care business, they are in the business of slow and profitable murder. That’s very obvious.

It was very useful and promising. Thank you for opening the doors of specialized science to public awareness.

Please dont interrupt Robin alle the time, Andrew! He is onto so many interesting things and then you interrupt and start to tell about your experience with it. For example the anorexia bit.

Wish I could share my experience with you! 😅

Interesting & informative interested in learning more

Please bring a neuroelectrophysiologist here.
Wanna know about EEG.

Income taxes are the worst taxes because they are a tax on everything.

However, I think elimination of income taxes should be limited to earned income.

There should still be capital gains tax. And probably tax on dividends.

Is it dangerous for a person that have been on antidepressants for 10 years + to stop taking them to try out Psilocybin to see if it helps? Now thinking about the suden stop of takeing the meds.

whos here in 2024....lmao~~~~
pPp~~~Enjoy ...

Macro is fun once a year! 😂

There's a huge difference in potency in different strains of mushrooms.

Andrew.. u need to stop promoting a discredited product such as AGI if ypu want to retain credibility in the health field.. its now known its a bs product that pays promotors well and is a bit of a sham..

You are only as good as ppls trust in what you say or what promote.

It would be nice for you to actually take a stand either way and say why you still support it or shun it with a bit more detail.

Also can anyone explain why it feels so satisfying smoking after a large meal?

I've done phycadelics b4. But I went too hard. And am now burnt out on them. Despite many years since last use. Thinking of micro dosing due to severe body aches, depression, and wanting to achieve a different outlook on life. Shrooms are legal here. What's a good micro dose for pain management? I don't want to trip but body highs would be welcome.

What an amazing conversation between two interesting people. Thank you for this work.

Intravenous hyoscine may have rapid antidepressant effects, consistent with the hypothesis that hypersensitivity of the cholinergic system may play a role in pathophysiology of mood disorders• Immediate antidepressant effects are likely due to muscarinic antagonism• Abnormal glutamate transmission has been implicated in the pathophysiology of depression, so longer-lasting antidepressant effects may be due to reduced NMDA receptor expression; induction of the mTOR pathway may also be present

Can you discuss SCOPOLAMINE as antidepressant

I did LSD once when I was about 21, I'm 59 now. I laughed all night, slept great and felt great for the next two weeks. Ever since I keep saying I need another brain reset. That's exactly what it felt like happened. I've asked around for the last 3 years here in Yuma and Tucson and nobody seems to know where to get it. You'd think it would be easy to find here. I won't send money over the internet. I have severe treatment resistant depression, severe anxiety and Narcolepsy. I pretty much have spent the last 25 years in bed, wasting everyday of my life. Why is it if a drug makes us feel good or better it's bad? Life is too short to go through it miserable especially when there is something that really helps

All of these scientists need to get off their ass and do some work!

Such a great interview! Thank you Dr. Huberman, - you asked the best questions to have such an informative and deep conversation. Thank you for your continued work Dr. Carhart-Harris!

I don't know why but insightful content like this inspires me to get up and do something productive

It can b dangerous...please be safe ..i almost died while dosing on the blue Meanie's and I had just one.. I gagged and kept vomiting 🤢 🤕 and I was so sick and lightheaded I fell after..I did with lemon 🍋 and boiled it coz it was smelly and when tasted raw just a bit induced gag reflex..
I felt like I ate extremely high dose of blue fungus that grows on top of my food left for months into my stomach..10 hrs later I still feel extremely sick 😫 my whole body feels struck by lightning like surviving death..
Just before I vomited I saw daylight like I was dying for a few seconds and I knew 1000000 percent sure if I didn't automatically vomit for 20 mins I wld hv died and my throat still hurts from vomiting so hard..
My body felt like I took poison
I had tried in a chocolate bar bfr w mini dose nothing happened at all i didnt even feel a trip🍫just prob pleasant but im usually a very happy person..my boyfriend said i looked more aware and i meditated way better bcoz of calmness ..I hv never taken before that.
I will not be trying death again 😂😂this killed me..I am starved but I don't feel like eating Only drained after resting for hours..
Please be careful especially trying unsupervised..
I was not capable of calling 911.. my eyes shut and my body cramped and all I can say vomiting 🤢 saved my life. Yes I bought from a legal shop.. not some shady person
I care abt u all and hopefully one person out there may hv my reaction.
Love u all people 💓 ❤

Andrew we need subtitles in Sapnish, please. Is it possible? I´m writing from BA, Argentina. I offer myself to translate and subtitle this.

Im slw learner.....innrmning😮

Andrew "or so I've heard" Huberman 😂

I pay for arrive subscription so I don't get ads. Cut the bullshit ads

Great to know I’ve been self medicating appropriately since I was a teenager. ❤😊

I just started Microdosing LSD and it has been life-changing. 100 %

How about an in-depth episode about micro-dosing psilocybin and other psychedelics for better mental health and enhancing life overall

They could speed up the trip length if they used real mushrooms instead of synthetic psilocybin and used the lemon tek method.

After exploring souls for a tat more then 26 years I came to a conclusion that might have some truth to it. There are to mayor character phenotypes emphaths and narcissists. Only one will pass on while the other is going to extinction. God' speed

I tryed microdose lsd it definitely helped but i found ketamin helped me the best for depression

I did not learn so much !

Hey Mr. Hubberman, I suffered a TBI 15 years ago and have witnessed huge improvement with my brain/body connection but still can't use my left arm and ankle well. Do you have scientific suggestions for me? Thank you.

Curious, I took mushrooms once and it was way different than any experience I’ve had before. I actually hallucinated… I’m curious if it was the mushrooms alone or if I had come in contact with another drug. My friends had mixed mdma in their drinks which I didn’t partake in but I am wondering if accidentally consumed any of their drinks at some point. I know you mentioned you blind folded your test subjects during their trials but did you also allow them to view the room and objects or expose them to sounds of music or expose them to certain scents or smells? The reason I ask is because during my trip, I saw colour that was swirling/waving on objects that had no colour in reality, I saw chains of neon colours like glow sticks floating through the air and when I closed my eyes I would still see them. Also the smell of peppermint from my friends massage oil caused me to then see chains of peppermint candies of all kinds like those round red and white candies in their twisted wrappers and candy canes again I would close my eyes and still see them swirling around the room in a chain. I think the music playing added to the movement of these dancing chains of colour and peppermints. Then when I took a shower the soap was fruity and floral, the white walls turned to patterns of pastel rainbow colours covered in sparkles! It was magical! But then when I looked at my feet and my hands they were distorted throbbing in size from big to small and they were grey and yellow as if they were bruised and when I looked at my friends faces they looked like corpses with yellow faces and dark circles around their eyes but I knew that wasn’t what they looked like and I was able to tell myself that. By the end of the night I wanted to sleep but I couldn’t and I felt like I was going to die that was the worst part.. is this normal when taking mushrooms or was there something else? I was also drinking alcohol that night prior to taking the mushrooms.

not even gonna lie, i love me some mushrooms..

THEY'RE AWESOME!

I had a horrible and highly unusual reaction to both ketamine and mushrooms. I had none of the psychedelic effects that everyone talks about. I didn't disassociate with ketamine and had hours of convulsions with a low dose of mushrooms. It took me days to recover from ketamine instead of hours. Honestly it confirmed what I was trying to express about something being really wrong with my brain chemicals. I often think I'm worth studying to perhaps find some answers as to how psychedelics work. Who knows?

Engineering the psychedelic experience out of the drug seems akin to castrating the experience for efficiency. Very acceptable and very sterile.

Have been micro and macro-dosing psilocybin for two years. I've seen massive improvements in my depression and anxiety as well as my fibromyalgia symptoms.

Sleep is so important. When I am not sleeping, that triggers bi polar hypomanic episodes for me. Then I also feel physically ill when I don't sleep. I also have ME/CFS. Dr. Huberman, would you be able to do an episode about either Bi Polar disorder or ME/CFS?. :)

At this time we can really do with the health benefits of the psychedelics used safely. Thank you both for this excellent podcast. ❤

I'm hoping to get a good return on the magic mushroom kit. Is there one mushroom that has more Psilocybin in it that you can refer me to. I suffer from PTSD. Traumatized events relating to homicide and amputation. I feel like the psychedelic treatment for me will be perfect due to the information you have provided. Thank you.
