Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I got diagnosed with ADHD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
I took 7 grams in a tea and found Jesus. It was the craziest day of my life. I needed answers and I found them. Sometimes, the mushroom finds you. God bless.
Psilocybin? Oh that little thing that cured my decades long depression? The thing that cleared my head and evened my psyche? The thing that released me from the chains of my anger? It's good stuff Mark. The best stuff. They are the fruits of our ancestors
@@RyanREAX Im sorry to tell you but science has led people to not believe in christianity anymore… The bible is a great story but has so many things in it that just don’t even come close to adding up.
Seasoned pyschonaut here, Doug probably did two grams of penis envy gold caps on a Tuesday night- made it to work in the morning and now thinks he's a badass. But everybody wants to think they're gangsta until the spirit gods start talking to them in windings from the 7th dimension. Psychedelics are not toys, they are tools. Trip safe friends. ✌️❤&💨DMT
@@tylerofearth2296 If the spirit gods from the 7th dimension couldn't even rein in your ego then I'm afraid I don't see the point of meeting with them. Seems like you're the one who thinks they are gangsta. Doug just seems like a nice guy, didn't even call himself a mushroom user, seems like the producer of the youtube channel decided to name the video that.
@@BenDover-ek1zp part of being human is having an ego friend, I'm sorry it gets to ya. Doug doesn't know what he's talking about and this channel really jumped the gun posting this video. Thought I'd make light of the situation by posting a funny comment.
@@tylerofearth2296 it was more pretentious then funny. Although I agree he doesn't seem like a regular user, he's still worth showcasing as something has gone wrong to lead him to living on the street
This interview is a good example of why I can only take this channel in small doses. Mark seems very judgmental whilst knowing absolutely nothing about psilocybin. Mark seemed determined to get this guy to say that shrooms were fucking up his life.
Mark is a shit interviewer. He platforms a lot of people who would otherwise be voiceless, but the leading questions and obvious biases are ridiculous. It’s really not that hard to interview someone without inserting your own perspective, but somehow Mark can’t put aside his ego long enough to do so. Super frustrating to watch.
Yes. The prospect is interesting. But the interviewer is being judgmental. Just saw the interview with some prostitute, and asking “are you depressed?” Etc. the interviews put up a very uneasy vibe from the questions being asked.
i get where ur coming from but you cannot say that shrooms havent had a negative effect on his life. shrooms are great and yeh as far as drugs go can be one of if not the least harmful drug out there but this man dropped out of school and is now homeless doing drugs on the street every week. ofc its not crack or meth or heroin but he still gets money and spends it on drugs and lives in a homeless shelter. you try and tell anyone thats a good life to live ur fucking delusional and stupid
@@imaxthelimit7489 I agree, I've done mushrooms maybe 10/15 times or more and I actually wouldn't recommend them, the highs are not worth the potential lows, you can have some hellish trips trust me, I'm lucky I wasn't left permanently messed up from some of these horrible trips, kid in my city jumped in front of a truck on them n died, and they can give you suicidal thoughts while on them I've heard numerous friends say that, it's a serious trip, not to be taken lightly
@@kattihatt This isn't an exact quote, but I heard that it costs the American tax payers something like $160,000 per year for each homeless person to stay out on the street. Between arrests and hospitalizations and rehabs and whatever else it costs that much. Give or take. So, while this guy seems harmless and, he's in general, I can't say that it's fine by me that he has chosen to be homeless and not care about his future because his future is definitely going to be an expensive one that we will all be paying for.
@@paintedwolf8394 if he didn’t choose to do that someone else would do it and we’d still being paying the same amount. No matter what the government is taxing us out of our money and if it wasn’t for that they’d just tax us for something else.
I think Mark needs some more education on psychedelics. He was laying into him harder than he does seasoned crack heads. Dudes talking about doing shrooms once a week
Mark wouldn't let Doug plug anything at the end of the video but the gigolo guy talked about his book and all the crap he has planned (to scam people out of their money) and the gigolo guy even put the link to his only fans in the comments section. Kinda seems unfair not to give Doug an equal platform. And I have to say, Doug was a much more authentic human being than the other guy.
I’ll be 1 year sober on March 15th from heroin and xanax, the biggest factor in me getting sober was Psilocybin. Absolutely life changing experience the first time I took it. I felt immense gratitude and appreciation for still being alive (I’ve overdosed 8 times) and life has been so much better since.
The research is there nowadays - its the most amazing anti-addiction experience going. It just needs to be made therapeutically legal like all the scientists who have studied it know it should be! Big Love to you Vascgo XX
@@thematriarchy2075 oh absolutely, you’re not wrong, but it’s incredibly risky to leave college, after popping around to a few of them, and all they took from it was the social aspect. Listening to an over 30+ man talk about how he loved his job at a movie theater, after listing off the number of jobs they had, it seems like a real lack of any sense of direction or discipline. I applaud their decision to try and pursue happiness, but this is such an aimless adult, with clearly a very bright mind, in a terrible situation. I’m very curious what people close to him over the years have witnessed, because it seems like a slow decline. I realize my initial comment was flippant. I realize there’s much more going on.
Yeah, good times. Work you're whole life to collect shiny things you can't bring with you when it's over. Gotta love that discipline and playing by the rules... 😔
I started laughing too when he talked about his friend coming back out with no shirt. I know its something dumb to laugh at but things like that are so funny when on mushrooms 😂
I've watched a lot of Marks videos, most of the time he is fair and genuinely asks good questions. This interview came across as Mark is trying to get this man to say something through a series of leading questions where Mark already has a predetermined answer that he want the interviewee to say. This is where I draw the line and unsubscribe. Unsubscribe, unfollow and could care less. Sooner or later others will see it too. Pretty sickening really, we as an audience think we're getting a pure interview, yet this is the furthest from the truth. The more Mark can sensationalize these interviews, the more views he'll get, and the more money he makes. He doesn't care about these people, he uses them for his photos and interviews and parades these folks around for the masses to see. Here's and idea, if any of the people in this audience care about the homeless, the abused, the addicts, the alcoholics, how about go out and meet someone like that and have a conversation with them, get to know them, help them if you can, but to come here a gawk at these people is sickening. This is coming from someone who was a serious opiate addict/alcoholic/couch surfer for a decade, and have been 100% clean for 7years, so my perspective may be different than most of the audience.
Yeah I noticed something unsavory about the interviewer as well...the people he brings on are interesting but the interviewer seems negative/judgemental. You put it better than me
I'm new to this channel and have been binging it a bit. Last night I watched the Whittakers interview (the inbred family) and I didn't get a good feeling from it. I understand he is trying to give all types of people a voice, but his tone and certain questions in some videos I do not like.
I think you should watch one of the interviews that Mark has done and see his side of this stuff. He helps plenty of the ones who care to take his offered assistance. All while doing the shooting, editing, and sharing for free since most of his videos are demontitized due to the subject matter. He's doing a good thing by documentating these people's stories and why they end up here.
Mark is not a psychologist, he is a world renowned photographer. This is a very organic channel. He doesn’t really do a scripted type thing it just flows as the interviewee’s takes it. All these people that he meets and speaks with leave lighter after talking about ‘THEIR PAIN, THEIR STORY’ to someone who truly listens with interest. He may not as questions the way some may prefer but he gets the results. He also helps these people get into treatment or an apartment or a hot meal etc……more then judgement ever helps.
Real douchy of you for not letting him plug a few things at the end. The guy is homeless man. There’s people aren’t just stories for your little documentaries. They’re real people. That being said, it’s really nice to see an episode where someone has a positive relationship with their drug of choice. Psychedelics rule!
@@Infinite_blessings Pivilebe only belong to those who have already inherited it. Don’t you know? That the morally correct world view.🤦♀️ but I guess we’re always bound to run into something desfriminatoty and prejudice regardless how he presents himself as sympathetic, especially working with homeless addicts, without any sort of leftist analysis. Hope he fixes his behaviour before it’s too late if you truely wants to act like an ally to these people and not just a subject for his college art project. So if I’m being butter. I’m just fed up of little shit like this. My sister works in a rehab, I have maybe friends who’ve been homeless till recently. I’m constantly reminded that under capitalism, even the “nice ones” still perceived these people as socially beneath. He better at least give them food and allow them to sleep in his studio the night of the interview. Loved this channel a lot until that. Glad someone else felt disturbed by that. And not just me. Thanks for your comment comrade. Solidarity.
you haven’t been paying attention to how many have been negatively affected by sharing their socials. he’s protecting this guy from preventing him from sharing his socials. his interview subjects get scammed more often than you know and he’s just trying to stop it.
I’ve also noticed he’s done/said a couple things in the past that seem like he cares more about getting the footage and puts that person on the back burner. I get it’s his job but his job, I would think, is to also always show respect and compassion for those less fortunate.
He almost burnt his entire legs while on meth laced weed and not much more was asked about that and he doesn't seem to think it was an issue. Very concerning. Skin grafts are intense as hell and those kind of skin burns can stay painful for a very long time.
I must say...all of the comments are spot on and echo the same sentiments I had after watching this kind soul. Mushrooms and other various tryptamines (DMT, etc.) hold in them the keys to our existence. Use them respectfully with best intentions and an open heart - the potential for self-discovery and deep insights is endless. All of us deserve basic human needs (See: Maslow's Hierarchy). Doug seems genuine and earnest in his endeavors. Blessings to him and his universal family (this means you too!). Mark came off a teeny bit judgemental in this one, but that could be a subjective thing for me. Love, Light and Prosperity...Be well, Stay well.
He explained perfectly what if feels like to trip on shrooms. Brought back some fond memories. Havent used them since before I had my first child. And probably wont ever again, but I still have the memories.
Doctors are now using mushrooms in place of pharmaceutical anti-depresents They seem to have great promise...... But big pharma will probably find a way to ban there use!!..... Just sayin!✌️❤️
I took a bunch of lsd n did some mirror work. Then I decided to shave. Well, that took like an hour, n the gel kept drying. Luckily a friend snapped me out of it
I suffer from Cluster Headaches. Apparently they are more severe than Migrages. Another name for them is Suicide Headaches and I definitely understand the term. For 40 year the doctors fed me prescription after prescription trying to find something that worked. Nothing did. The only thing they did was dull the pain and it really shouldn't have been driving. One day I heard a show about LSD and Magic Mushrooms and they mentioned Cluster Headaches. I Googled it and it was all there. I got some mushrooms, followed the instructions and the next morning the headache was gone. I now take mushrooms typically every 6 months. Sometimes even 12 or 18 months. You can feel the headache trying to push their way back in and this is when you medicate. Magic Mushrooms was a game changer for me. I hope this helps someone.
@Chris Woods For me it would always be a severe pain beside either the left eye or right eye. They call them "cluster" because when they started I would continue getting them for months. Two or three times in a 24hour period. It would be best to google it "cluster headache magic mushrooms". The explanation given will explain lots.
@@Misterwhistle thanks..Im getting em or something like that but feels more on top of head/forehead but same frequency as you describe(exactly) aspirin works well for me ,even up to 9rs of relief ..I feel its connected to my vision (Im53) but only use glasses for the computer ...could it be the screen-light from my desktop ? idk ?

He has an infectious smile and personality that makes me smile. Love his stories and how he describes things. So glad I never did anything like trying to jump over blazing fire. Although my dealer friend did talk me into taking a hit of blue microdot at a Grateful Dead concert in San Francisco. Then as I was blazing, she says to me she's going to go deal some of it so I was just sitting staring at the stage watching all the colors and hearing the music come to life around me. Psilocybin mushrooms are the best highs I've ever had. The best was taking them and then floating down a gentle river and looking up at the trees dancing in the wind. Very spiritual experience that makes me want to be an indigenous person who has rituals involving an entire tribe with people taking them.
@@mason5412 Its like a 3rd eye opened, one that can see through all the blocks and filters in your mind. Like, doors and windows opened up inside me and It makes me wonder why I didn't see it all before...deffinatly a life changing experience. I dont do drugs, don't drink, don't do anything...I used to a long time ago, but not anymore...the last drug I had was mushrooms, lsd, and mdma..all were taken at separate times, however..I have mixed them a few times. This was 3 or 4 years ago 👍
Doug is lovely! ❤️ Sorry Mark I love your interviews but it’s harsh that you didn’t let him promote something that could help him get to a better place, especially when Gigolo Nick promoted everything he’s doing.. one rule for one etc.. Doug let us know what you’re doing I’m interested! 😊 x
I just love how people can watch a 20 minute video and feel that they are in the position to make these declarative statements about someone they don't know the first thing about, and likely not taking into consideration that that person will almost surely read them. Have you stopped to think about the fact that he is only telling us what he wants us to know? There are so many things going on with every single person, so much they would never say out loud. Obviously the comments section is meant for people to express their opinions, but it's amazing to me how many of these people don't realize how ridiculous they sound judging another person's entire existence based on what they see in a short video. Would we be able to sum up everything about you, give the best advice, tell you what is wrong with YOU after hearing you talk for 20 minutes? No, so feel free to give your personal impressions but spare us all the self righteousness! Which will never happen. But if you do read this Doug, remember how easy it is for people to pass uninformed judgements and do whatever feels good to YOU in life. You seem like a wonderful person, I know I probably couldn't put myself out there to be judged and commented on, so good for you. Also so lame that he couldn't plug anything at the end...I think many people notice how different certain people are treated on here. .
The magic mushroom saved my life from deep depression and physical pain. It reset all my views on life people and society. Deeply connects you with nature. Purges a lot of negativity out of you. That’s where the magic is.
Guarantee this man is better off then he would be without mushrooms, look how happy he is the whole time just to share his experiences. He may be homeless or whatever but he’s got a beautiful soul. That’s what life’s really about.
Oh boy. Please don’t prop this guy up as an example of what shrooms “do” to people’s lives. He has other issues that have lead him to be a perpetual child. Nice guy but he is not interested in manhood and that’s perfectly ok.
Im not ok with altering the answers of a study to get the answers you want, to make reality look like what you wanted it too look. He did shooms and this is who he is and what he says. I'm fine with this.
When he was describing the ceiling on mushrooms I totally knew what he was talking about. Everything we know about this reality is fake! Also when I looked in the mirror I feel like I fell in love with myself. I actually thought I was beautiful ✨💕
Shrooms are great and no Mark. .. there aren't really any negatives when used occasionally. Except of course you have underlying schizophrenia that might trigger it. But they're really good at keeping you focused on priorities and positive mindset. I am however worried that being in skidrow you won't find psychedelics and will instead go to whatever is there. He obviously hasn't done shrooms in a long time cause he wouldn't even be okay with living in skidrow if he was still doing shrooms. He probably does meth now.
@@aaronm.3581 Yeah, most people don't look or act like it earlier on. Even some veterans don't act like the stereotypical meth head. You wouldn't even tell if they're high or not.
Whatever else he is doing, I really don't think it is helpful, or honest to label him a "psilocybin" user. Psilocybin has been used by humans for over ten thousand years, and is extraordinarily safe for occasional use by mentally sound individuals.
Doug!! I was happy, confused, amused, saddened and "high" all at the same time for 21:04 minutes. Please be in safe places when you get the desire to eat something that tastes like shit🤣
I took mushrooms in the early 2000s. For those few hours, the universe opened up for me and I saw another dimension. I saw alien landscapes, far away planets and intelligent life that wasn’t human. Then the universe suddenly snapped shut and I was genuinely sad that it ended.
Once I got so high on shrooms I couldn't walk or talk and at one point thought i was dead but at no point did I think it was a bad trip. Psilocybin is amazing and if used correctly can save lives.
First time to be disgusted by Mark. He judged this guy endlessly, and was rude, abrupt and passive aggressive throughout. So confused. I understood his empathy and compassion to be from a place of acceptance. Bizarre interview. Maybe Doug didn’t appear desperate and ravaged enough. Or perhaps there’s a back story. His tone was utterly vile. Such a shame.
I tried a cup of mushroom tea in Ko Samui, Thailand with 2 good friends many years ago. I think we had what Bill Hicks described as a 'Heroic Dose' as we had the most unforgettable and mind bending 8 hours! I still have detailed memories of that night, 25 years later. It was beautiful, healing, hypnotic and cleansing. I believe that mushrooms are grossly under rated and have healing powers that conventional meds cannot offer. Strange that they are not given out on prescription since there have been so many extremely positive results during clinical trials for various problems including anxiety and depression. But, that is another story!
So, are you trying to say that taking magic mushrooms led to this guy's ruin, because it sound more like weed laced with meth made him try to jump over the fire.
15:50 - Edible mushrooms from the grocery store are grown on composted manure. Psychedelic mushrooms taste bad, but it has nothing to do with the growing medium. Some are grown on brown rice flour and still taste bad.
This guy is awesome. He cracked me up with him cracking himself up. I’m sober, however, I am toying with the idea of trying mushrooms in a VERY small dose daily for depression. He’s inspired me further lol
Magic mushrooms can and will grow in cow dung but the majority of the mushrooms sold on the street were grown in organic brown rice flour and vermiculite. The taste is the same for the most part no matter what they're grown in.
I would beg to differ... I don't really think many large scale (anything beyond just a small amount for personal use) growers are using BRF... I think it's a personal blend including feces... Everyone's type and ratio differ, but it is definitely still grown in shit...
@@elijahpokrass3505 no it's not...it's grown in Coco coir and grain....much easier to work with and source than shit...especially in any suburban or urban setting...
@@SiberianTiger888 what the fuck are you talking about? How many pounds of mushrooms have you personally grown? Keep you mouth shut when you don't know shit...
@@elijahpokrass3505 Dude, grown many pounds....just look up the shroomery or mycotopia for popular teks. If you're growing p. cubensis and not stuff like panaeolus specifically everybody uses grains & coco coir....Don't talk out of your ass...how many have you grown? Maybe you should be the one shutting your mouth...
This poor guy is stunted in his development and trying to grow by taking psychedelics. He's in the same trap as much of the "healing community" -- they tend to think the experience fixes things or causes their thinking to move forward in their lives, but they aren't willing to do the introspective and collaborative work after the experience that it takes to get effective growth from psychedelics. A lot of times it's because they don't know how. A century of repressive drug policies have made it difficult to get plugged in with solid mentoring that's amenable to integrating psychedelics into a mentor-mentee relationship.
I’ve been doing half to 3/4 gram shrooms daily for about a week and my mind has never been so at ease. I'm kind, a better listener and less anxious. Good stuff
This guy reminds me of my ol college roommate. Talked in circles and giggles a lot. Hard to understand but a good caring man. My roommate was my friend. He did a bit too much one day and never really came back. Haven’t seen or heard from him in 21 yrs. I think of him often.
not every drug experience creates bad outcome. I can look back at my mushroom experiences as net positives. it changed my life in a good way. that guy got it right regardless of his situation.
Doug seems cool, I would definitely stare at posters and ceilings with him. N.B. magic mushrooms don't necessarily grow directly in cow or sheep shit, their habitat is decaying/damp grass but you will often find them in livestock fields as animal shit/piss is good fertiliser. They just taste like crap because they do - Happy hunting!
This is literally the only thing that completely reverses my depression for long periods of time after a single use, so it’s interesting to see him say “user” instead of “addict.”
i move how mark is used to these interviews where people are having to deal with very serious issues and are emotionally very torn up and here is doug, who also has to deal with hard stuff but he’s just such a loveable funny guy
About 2 months ago tried psilocybin. It was awesome. Would actually recommend to pretty much anyone. Will try again during Christmas. just the bigger dose.
I knew the comments would correct this mushroom hate in this video. Every single time I trip on a larger dose of mushrooms I get rid of my depression for MONTHS at a time. Mushrooms gave me back my life. Mushrooms reminded me I was an artist and gave me the confidence to step out and be myself. Mushrooms made me want to go back to school to better myself which I did and graduated with honors. It is criminal how our Government as poisoned so many minds to think psychedelics are “bad no matter what.” I feel pity for every single person who has not had the experience of a mushroom trip.
I love this series. Thank you Mark. I am Commenting on gigalo guy here since comments are turned off over there: this dude seems to be a total con artist who gets money out of middle aged and older women and I bet he is planning to open a cult at those “healing centers” he discussed.
This guy reminds me of myself, if I had gone wrong at a younger age and never got treatment or went to school. He has zero self knowledge. The worst thing about mushrooms is the taste, while he lives on Skid Row. But then I think, don't I do the same thing, differently? Funny stuff.
I burned about 20% of my body with 3rd degree burns when I was 15. Lots of scars and skin grafts. I mention this because I was fit for and given pressure garments (they look similar to a wetsuit but it’s like a silky material) that greatly reduce the scarring bands and the thickness. Maybe the director of the channel or someone near your area that works in that field can donate a set to you. It helps and they may have made great advancements since I was burned (early 90’s). Best of luck to you
If you have something that you really want in your life, spend lots of time thinking about it. The more you think the more ideas will pop up the more creative your gonna start to get. Your subconscious mind doesn't care if your vision is crazy. It doesnt care if you dont know how to do it. When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "success mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or willpower. A different psychedelic from a different planet every nanosecond. All sorts of dreams are possible. The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an "actual" experience and an experience imagined vividly and in detail. Synthesize "experience," to literally create experience, and control it, in the laboratory of our minds. A vision is a very emotional image, the most powerful image that you can come up with for yourself at this time. This vision will become like a hallucination in other peoples mind and this could be the cause of them creating extraordinary things.
Seth Rogan on shrooms,minus the contagious laugh(but still has his own funny giggle),all in all a relatable and likable dude,chill af too,Love this guy.
Mushrooms are so useful that it is a shame that people waste them by trying to get high with them. Can you approach it that way and enjoy yourself? Yes, but you are really wasting them for a use so base. 12 step program was originally designed to use lsd in the process. The key is that psychedelics give you the courage to face your faults if you want to and are ready. As well as helping you connect with the inspiration within yourself to do great things. If you are not ready to hear the message than you will miss it. Also kids, the things you see or think should not be thought of as true on their own. They should be thought out and tested when you are sober again to complete the process of integrating the new thought paths that are worth keeping.
I don't think the psilocybin is the issue in Doug's case. He may have some other drug habits, even alcohol or meth, but it's his naivety and denial of what affects him that is coming through in this interview. He reminds me of two people I have been close with, both of them FULL of ideas and passion, but in denial of addictions that cause them harm. One couldn't wait to be done with court-ordered sobriety check-ins so he could start drinking again after a DWI, in which he still blames the person that called the cops for him hitting a parked car. The other one having good ideas, but thinking ideation alone deserves financial reward, and gets upset that people won't give him money for his ideas. Doug doesn't seem like a bad guy, just stuck in a childlike mind.
My trip was vicious, everything echoed,walls were wavy asf,and i swear all i could here was the first 5 seconds of Xzibit's song D.N.A that went on forever bruuuh

This guy is clearly delusional. He wants to work and be creative but instead he is homeless on shrooms and pretending that drugs are going to lift him out of his situation by producing some epiphany. Mark was clearly in the right in his attempt to try to dig further into the negatives but this guy is not there mentally yet. Perhaps in ten years we can see a follow-up video that will reveal the down sides.
I've had 38 or 39 jobs and I'm 37. Mark: Wow! I've had over 70. BFD. It means he is skilled and/or had crash courses in whatever he pursued. Dude sez: Don't mess with fire. I say? Lay off ALL the drugs.That means everything. Weed included.
In looking in the mirror i saw others watching me. It was strange; they moved away once they realized I could see them. In their side it’s all dark, they too are dark, freckles of colorful neon light is what shapes them.

@@tylerofearth2296 it was more pretentious then funny. Although I agree he doesn't seem like a regular user, he's still worth showcasing as something has gone wrong to lead him to living on the street
@@tylerofearth2296 I've made my point. You don't seem to be willing to engage with it. That's fine. Good luck with your journey.
This interview is a good example of why I can only take this channel in small doses. Mark seems very judgmental whilst knowing absolutely nothing about psilocybin. Mark seemed determined to get this guy to say that shrooms were fucking up his life.
Mark is a shit interviewer. He platforms a lot of people who would otherwise be voiceless, but the leading questions and obvious biases are ridiculous. It’s really not that hard to interview someone without inserting your own perspective, but somehow Mark can’t put aside his ego long enough to do so. Super frustrating to watch.
Yes. The prospect is interesting. But the interviewer is being judgmental. Just saw the interview with some prostitute, and asking “are you depressed?” Etc. the interviews put up a very uneasy vibe from the questions being asked.
i get where ur coming from but you cannot say that shrooms havent had a negative effect on his life. shrooms are great and yeh as far as drugs go can be one of if not the least harmful drug out there but this man dropped out of school and is now homeless doing drugs on the street every week. ofc its not crack or meth or heroin but he still gets money and spends it on drugs and lives in a homeless shelter. you try and tell anyone thats a good life to live ur fucking delusional and stupid
@@imaxthelimit7489 I agree, I've done mushrooms maybe 10/15 times or more and I actually wouldn't recommend them, the highs are not worth the potential lows, you can have some hellish trips trust me, I'm lucky I wasn't left permanently messed up from some of these horrible trips, kid in my city jumped in front of a truck on them n died, and they can give you suicidal thoughts while on them I've heard numerous friends say that, it's a serious trip, not to be taken lightly
I came here just to say this exactly. And the dude clearly had only dine them one time. He had only one mushroom trip story to reference.
If he walked away from skid row and kept walking life would get better every mile he took
He doesnt want that. No hard work, no responsibility, just fun all the time. Sure fine by me, but dont come complaining later.
Yep and yep
@@kattihatt This isn't an exact quote, but I heard that it costs the American tax payers something like $160,000 per year for each homeless person to stay out on the street. Between arrests and hospitalizations and rehabs and whatever else it costs that much. Give or take. So, while this guy seems harmless and, he's in general, I can't say that it's fine by me that he has chosen to be homeless and not care about his future because his future is definitely going to be an expensive one that we will all be paying for.
@@paintedwolf8394 if he didn’t choose to do that someone else would do it and we’d still being paying the same amount. No matter what the government is taxing us out of our money and if it wasn’t for that they’d just tax us for something else.

Mark wouldn't let Doug plug anything at the end of the video but the gigolo guy talked about his book and all the crap he has planned (to scam people out of their money) and the gigolo guy even put the link to his only fans in the comments section. Kinda seems unfair not to give Doug an equal platform. And I have to say, Doug was a much more authentic human being than the other guy.
Bravo. Succint description and Doug will be okay.
gigolo guy was a total asshole. i laughed when i saw his comment. ridiculous
I guess that's why the comments were turned off. Ratio got btfo
If you need some shrooms just say so 😆
Maybe that’s exactly why he doesn’t allow that anymore
I’ll be 1 year sober on March 15th from heroin and xanax, the biggest factor in me getting sober was Psilocybin. Absolutely life changing experience the first time I took it. I felt immense gratitude and appreciation for still being alive (I’ve overdosed 8 times) and life has been so much better since.
u got this,my shrooms days were 89-96'...but I think its still helping me...cali-sober now on occasion only

@@thematriarchy2075 oh absolutely, you’re not wrong, but it’s incredibly risky to leave college, after popping around to a few of them, and all they took from it was the social aspect. Listening to an over 30+ man talk about how he loved his job at a movie theater, after listing off the number of jobs they had, it seems like a real lack of any sense of direction or discipline. I applaud their decision to try and pursue happiness, but this is such an aimless adult, with clearly a very bright mind, in a terrible situation.

I've watched a lot of Marks videos, most of the time he is fair and genuinely asks good questions. This interview came across as Mark is trying to get this man to say something through a series of leading questions where Mark already has a predetermined answer that he want the interviewee to say.
This is where I draw the line and unsubscribe. Unsubscribe, unfollow and could care less. Sooner or later others will see it too. Pretty sickening really, we as an audience think we're getting a pure interview, yet this is the furthest from the truth. The more Mark can sensationalize these interviews, the more views he'll get, and the more money he makes. He doesn't care about these people, he uses them for his photos and interviews and parades these folks around for the masses to see. Here's and idea, if any of the people in this audience care about the homeless, the abused, the addicts, the alcoholics, how about go out and meet someone like that and have a conversation with them, get to know them, help them if you can, but to come here a gawk at these people is sickening.
This is coming from someone who was a serious opiate addict/alcoholic/couch surfer for a decade, and have been 100% clean for 7years, so my perspective may be different than most of the audience.
Yeah I noticed something unsavory about the interviewer as well...the people he brings on are interesting but the interviewer seems negative/judgemental. You put it better than me
I'm new to this channel and have been binging it a bit. Last night I watched the Whittakers interview (the inbred family) and I didn't get a good feeling from it. I understand he is trying to give all types of people a voice, but his tone and certain questions in some videos I do not like.
Chill out mark cares and wants the best for them
I think you should watch one of the interviews that Mark has done and see his side of this stuff. He helps plenty of the ones who care to take his offered assistance. All while doing the shooting, editing, and sharing for free since most of his videos are demontitized due to the subject matter. He's doing a good thing by documentating these people's stories and why they end up here.
Mark is not a psychologist, he is a world renowned photographer. This is a very organic channel. He doesn’t really do a scripted type thing it just flows as the interviewee’s takes it. All these people that he meets and speaks with leave lighter after talking about ‘THEIR PAIN, THEIR STORY’ to someone who truly listens with interest. He may not as questions the way some may prefer but he gets the results. He also helps these people get into treatment or an apartment or a hot meal etc……more then judgement ever helps.
Remember when you were young and would talk to your friends like this when high AF.
Hello

Real douchy of you for not letting him plug a few things at the end. The guy is homeless man. There’s people aren’t just stories for your little documentaries. They’re real people. That being said, it’s really nice to see an episode where someone has a positive relationship with their drug of choice. Psychedelics rule!
Yeah, I agree. That wasn’t right. I’d really like to know where I can find him. What is Mark scared of by not letting people plug their socials?
@@Infinite_blessings Pivilebe only belong to those who have already inherited it. Don’t you know? That the morally correct world view.🤦♀️ but I guess we’re always bound to run into something desfriminatoty and prejudice regardless how he presents himself as sympathetic, especially working with homeless addicts, without any sort of leftist analysis. Hope he fixes his behaviour before it’s too late if you truely wants to act like an ally to these people and not just a subject for his college art project. So if I’m being butter. I’m just fed up of little shit like this. My sister works in a rehab, I have maybe friends who’ve been homeless till recently. I’m constantly reminded that under capitalism, even the “nice ones” still perceived these people as socially beneath. He better at least give them food and allow them to sleep in his studio the night of the interview. Loved this channel a lot until that. Glad someone else felt disturbed by that. And not just me. Thanks for your comment comrade. Solidarity.
you haven’t been paying attention to how many have been negatively affected by sharing their socials. he’s protecting this guy from preventing him from sharing his socials. his interview subjects get scammed more often than you know and he’s just trying to stop it.
I’ve also noticed he’s done/said a couple things in the past that seem like he cares more about getting the footage and puts that person on the back burner. I get it’s his job but his job, I would think, is to also always show respect and compassion for those less fortunate.
@@the.bloodless.one1312 u genuinely need a life u fully wrote an essay over a TH-cam comment😂 Ik for a fact u haven’t touched grass in forever
He almost burnt his entire legs while on meth laced weed and not much more was asked about that and he doesn't seem to think it was an issue. Very concerning. Skin grafts are intense as hell and those kind of skin burns can stay painful for a very long time.
I must say...all of the comments are spot on and echo the same sentiments I had after watching this kind soul. Mushrooms and other various tryptamines (DMT, etc.) hold in them the keys to our existence. Use them respectfully with best intentions and an open heart - the potential for self-discovery and deep insights is endless. All of us deserve basic human needs (See: Maslow's Hierarchy). Doug seems genuine and earnest in his endeavors. Blessings to him and his universal family (this means you too!). Mark came off a teeny bit judgemental in this one, but that could be a subjective thing for me. Love, Light and Prosperity...Be well, Stay well.

I suffer from Cluster Headaches. Apparently they are more severe than Migrages. Another name for them is Suicide Headaches and I definitely understand the term. For 40 year the doctors fed me prescription after prescription trying to find something that worked. Nothing did. The only thing they did was dull the pain and it really shouldn't have been driving. One day I heard a show about LSD and Magic Mushrooms and they mentioned Cluster Headaches. I Googled it and it was all there. I got some mushrooms, followed the instructions and the next morning the headache was gone. I now take mushrooms typically every 6 months. Sometimes even 12 or 18 months. You can feel the headache trying to push their way back in and this is when you medicate.
Magic Mushrooms was a game changer for me. I hope this helps someone.
what are cluster headaches? plz?
@Chris Woods For me it would always be a severe pain beside either the left eye or right eye. They call them "cluster" because when they started I would continue getting them for months. Two or three times in a 24hour period.
It would be best to google it "cluster headache magic mushrooms". The explanation given will explain lots.

He has an infectious smile and personality that makes me smile. Love his stories and how he describes things. So glad I never did anything like trying to jump over blazing fire. Although my dealer friend did talk me into taking a hit of blue microdot at a Grateful Dead concert in San Francisco. Then as I was blazing, she says to me she's going to go deal some of it so I was just sitting staring at the stage watching all the colors and hearing the music come to life around me. Psilocybin mushrooms are the best highs I've ever had. The best was taking them and then floating down a gentle river and looking up at the trees dancing in the wind. Very spiritual experience that makes me want to be an indigenous person who has rituals involving an entire tribe with people taking them.

I just love how people can watch a 20 minute video and feel that they are in the position to make these declarative statements about someone they don't know the first thing about, and likely not taking into consideration that that person will almost surely read them. Have you stopped to think about the fact that he is only telling us what he wants us to know? There are so many things going on with every single person, so much they would never say out loud. Obviously the comments section is meant for people to express their opinions, but it's amazing to me how many of these people don't realize how ridiculous they sound judging another person's entire existence based on what they see in a short video. Would we be able to sum up everything about you, give the best advice, tell you what is wrong with YOU after hearing you talk for 20 minutes? No, so feel free to give your personal impressions but spare us all the self righteousness! Which will never happen. But if you do read this Doug, remember how easy it is for people to pass uninformed judgements and do whatever feels good to YOU in life. You seem like a wonderful person, I know I probably couldn't put myself out there to be judged and commented on, so good for you.
Also so lame that he couldn't plug anything at the end...I think many people notice how different certain people are treated on here.

Mark was so rude
The magic mushroom saved my life from deep depression and physical pain. It reset all my views on life people and society. Deeply connects you with nature. Purges a lot of negativity out of you. That’s where the magic is.

Shrooms are great and no Mark. .. there aren't really any negatives when used occasionally. Except of course you have underlying schizophrenia that might trigger it.
But they're really good at keeping you focused on priorities and positive mindset.
I am however worried that being in skidrow you won't find psychedelics and will instead go to whatever is there. He obviously hasn't done shrooms in a long time cause he wouldn't even be okay with living in skidrow if he was still doing shrooms. He probably does meth now.
Doesn't seem like he uses meth. At least not often or for very long.

I think he typically smokes weed and occasionally lets some meth pop into it.

I took mushrooms in the early 2000s. For those few hours, the universe opened up for me and I saw another dimension. I saw alien landscapes, far away planets and intelligent life that wasn’t human. Then the universe suddenly snapped shut and I was genuinely sad that it ended.
Once I got so high on shrooms I couldn't walk or talk and at one point thought i was dead but at no point did I think it was a bad trip. Psilocybin is amazing and if used correctly can save lives.
First time to be disgusted by Mark. He judged this guy endlessly, and was rude, abrupt and passive aggressive throughout. So confused. I understood his empathy and compassion to be from a place of acceptance. Bizarre interview. Maybe Doug didn’t appear desperate and ravaged enough. Or perhaps there’s a back story. His tone was utterly vile. Such a shame.
I tried a cup of mushroom tea in Ko Samui, Thailand with 2 good friends many years ago. I think we had what Bill Hicks described as a 'Heroic Dose' as we had the most unforgettable and mind bending 8 hours! I still have detailed memories of that night, 25 years later. It was beautiful, healing, hypnotic and cleansing. I believe that mushrooms are grossly under rated and have healing powers that conventional meds cannot offer. Strange that they are not given out on prescription since there have been so many extremely positive results during clinical trials for various problems including anxiety and depression. But, that is another story!
So, are you trying to say that taking magic mushrooms led to this guy's ruin, because it sound more like weed laced with meth made him try to jump over the fire.
15:50 - Edible mushrooms from the grocery store are grown on composted manure. Psychedelic mushrooms taste bad, but it has nothing to do with the growing medium. Some are grown on brown rice flour and still taste bad.
This guy is awesome. He cracked me up with him cracking himself up. I’m sober, however, I am toying with the idea of trying mushrooms in a VERY small dose daily for depression. He’s inspired me further lol
Magic mushrooms can and will grow in cow dung but the majority of the mushrooms sold on the street were grown in organic brown rice flour and vermiculite. The taste is the same for the most part no matter what they're grown in.
I would beg to differ... I don't really think many large scale (anything beyond just a small amount for personal use) growers are using BRF... I think it's a personal blend including feces... Everyone's type and ratio differ, but it is definitely still grown in shit...

This poor guy is stunted in his development and trying to grow by taking psychedelics. He's in the same trap as much of the "healing community" -- they tend to think the experience fixes things or causes their thinking to move forward in their lives, but they aren't willing to do the introspective and collaborative work after the experience that it takes to get effective growth from psychedelics. A lot of times it's because they don't know how. A century of repressive drug policies have made it difficult to get plugged in with solid mentoring that's amenable to integrating psychedelics into a mentor-mentee relationship.
No im not. stop it. i can still grow when i want to unlike youre pea brain sorry ass
He’s a trip. I like him. I’d like to see another interview. 🍄
I've always wondered why Eddy Money never playe in the keys of C or D.
I’ve been doing half to 3/4 gram shrooms daily for about a week and my mind has never been so at ease. I'm kind, a better listener and less anxious. Good stuff
Next week: Tooth Brush User -Zack
The 4g I did was incapacitating and exhausting. I couldn't even pick up my phone to see what time it was. Afterwards I was more depressed than ever.
This guy reminds me of my ol college roommate. Talked in circles and giggles a lot. Hard to understand but a good caring man. My roommate was my friend. He did a bit too much one day and never really came back. Haven’t seen or heard from him in 21 yrs. I think of him often.
I love how he got excited when he was talking about shrooms 😂 I think he could be a good stand comedian.
He should do a comedian show
not every drug experience creates bad outcome. I can look back at my mushroom experiences as net positives. it changed my life in a good way. that guy got it right regardless of his situation.
Psilocybin mushrooms could save humanity
Doug seems cool, I would definitely stare at posters and ceilings with him. N.B. magic mushrooms don't necessarily grow directly in cow or sheep shit, their habitat is decaying/damp grass but you will often find them in livestock fields as animal shit/piss is good fertiliser. They just taste like crap because they do - Happy hunting!

I’m imagining Marks face as he described the shit factor of the mushrooms lol 😂 that cracked me up.
Psychedelics on skid row must be a fucking nightmare.
Waaay too real if you ask me.
Hope some kid is watching and gets sick looking at his burns..and NEVER uses drugs!🙏
Psilocybin helped me quit drinking , 2 years sober never looked back
About 2 months ago tried psilocybin. It was awesome. Would actually recommend to pretty much anyone. Will try again during Christmas. just the bigger dose.
I knew the comments would correct this mushroom hate in this video. Every single time I trip on a larger dose of mushrooms I get rid of my depression for MONTHS at a time. Mushrooms gave me back my life. Mushrooms reminded me I was an artist and gave me the confidence to step out and be myself. Mushrooms made me want to go back to school to better myself which I did and graduated with honors. It is criminal how our Government as poisoned so many minds to think psychedelics are “bad no matter what.” I feel pity for every single person who has not had the experience of a mushroom trip.
Mushrooms helped me kick my cigarette habit. After a strong ass trip, I realized how damaging tobacco truly is. Don't regret taking the fungus at all.
I love this series. Thank you Mark. I am Commenting on gigalo guy here since comments are turned off over there: this dude seems to be a total con artist who gets money out of middle aged and older women and I bet he is planning to open a cult at those “healing centers” he discussed.
This guy reminds me of myself, if I had gone wrong at a younger age and never got treatment or went to school. He has zero self knowledge. The worst thing about mushrooms is the taste, while he lives on Skid Row. But then I think, don't I do the same thing, differently? Funny stuff.
Shrooms helped me immensely with my P.T.S.D. from my time in the Military and from working in the Emergency Medical field for 20 years.
Gratitude, Growth, Positivity, Patience and Love! Yes this is it!
Shrooms are medicine for the soul.
please stop spreading this shit
The laugh after he said “real world” 🤣
Yes| Exactly what I thought Xx
I burned about 20% of my body with 3rd degree burns when I was 15. Lots of scars and skin grafts. I mention this because I was fit for and given pressure garments (they look similar to a wetsuit but it’s like a silky material) that greatly reduce the scarring bands and the thickness. Maybe the director of the channel or someone near your area that works in that field can donate a set to you. It helps and they may have made great advancements since I was burned (early 90’s). Best of luck to you
If you have something that you really want in your life, spend lots of time thinking about it. The more you think the more ideas will pop up the more creative your gonna start to get. Your subconscious mind doesn't care if your vision is crazy. It doesnt care if you dont know how to do it.
When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "success mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or willpower.
A different psychedelic from a different planet every nanosecond.
All sorts of dreams are possible.
The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an "actual" experience and an experience imagined vividly and in detail.
Synthesize "experience," to literally create experience, and control it, in the laboratory of our minds.
A vision is a very emotional image, the most powerful image that you can come up with for yourself at this time. This vision will become like a hallucination in other peoples mind and this could be the cause of them creating extraordinary things.
i'd probably say the meth-laced weed was a lil worse for him than mushrooms. btw that yamaha cp-70 is an amazing electric piano!
The first time I used Golden Teacher and I saw the infamous falling lace, I cried. Psilocybin is an amazing experience.
Seth Rogan on shrooms,minus the contagious laugh(but still has his own funny giggle),all in all a relatable and likable dude,chill af too,Love this guy.
Mushrooms are so useful that it is a shame that people waste them by trying to get high with them. Can you approach it that way and enjoy yourself? Yes, but you are really wasting them for a use so base. 12 step program was originally designed to use lsd in the process. The key is that psychedelics give you the courage to face your faults if you want to and are ready. As well as helping you connect with the inspiration within yourself to do great things. If you are not ready to hear the message than you will miss it. Also kids, the things you see or think should not be thought of as true on their own. They should be thought out and tested when you are sober again to complete the process of integrating the new thought paths that are worth keeping.
I don't think the psilocybin is the issue in Doug's case. He may have some other drug habits, even alcohol or meth, but it's his naivety and denial of what affects him that is coming through in this interview. He reminds me of two people I have been close with, both of them FULL of ideas and passion, but in denial of addictions that cause them harm. One couldn't wait to be done with court-ordered sobriety check-ins so he could start drinking again after a DWI, in which he still blames the person that called the cops for him hitting a parked car. The other one having good ideas, but thinking ideation alone deserves financial reward, and gets upset that people won't give him money for his ideas. Doug doesn't seem like a bad guy, just stuck in a childlike mind.
living in the streets thinking about twitter likes lmao
I wish you well Doug you seem like a good dude. Take care
Educated. Reflective. Free spirited. Much potential!
My trip was vicious, everything echoed,walls were wavy asf,and i swear all i could here was the first 5 seconds of Xzibit's song D.N.A that went on forever bruuuh
Damnnnn this is scaryyyyyyy. I’ll take 2, plz.
Lmaaao
😂😂😂 sorry, I know you went through something, but the way you described it was hilarious. 🌺
@@DCMFR LMFAO!!!!
Yeah at the time it was fucked up,i kept telling me self "its the buzz its just the buzz"then that echoed,shit was intense then had the strangest sensation of my stomach felt like it was crumbling😂,could hold my breath till i lost colour in both eyes lol was Some wicked shit
This guy is clearly delusional. He wants to work and be creative but instead he is homeless on shrooms and pretending that drugs are going to lift him out of his situation by producing some epiphany. Mark was clearly in the right in his attempt to try to dig further into the negatives but this guy is not there mentally yet. Perhaps in ten years we can see a follow-up video that will reveal the down sides.

This guy seems like the most positive guy ever on this show so far
I've had 38 or 39 jobs and I'm 37. Mark: Wow! I've had over 70. BFD. It means he is skilled and/or had crash courses in whatever he pursued. Dude sez: Don't mess with fire. I say? Lay off ALL the drugs.That means everything. Weed included.
In looking in the mirror i saw others watching me. It was strange; they moved away once they realized I could see them. In their side it’s all dark, they too are dark, freckles of colorful neon light is what shapes them.
This dude seems real chill. I wish him the best !
God bless this man just simple guy easy going. Dougs just a vibe really.
