    Just finished reading his book, if you're keen on psychedelics and seeking a good place to start on educating yourself on their use as a tool for mental health, it's a good place to start.

      @@she-wonders Definitely. Although the purpose of the book isn't specifically a 'how to', he not only gives chemical background and historical accounts of the various psychs' but he journals his own experiences on them for the first times. It's important to note that his decision to write about/ experience psychedelics was done carefully as he was in his sixties or older, I forget. So he sought out the right people (therapists/ guides ect) and the right ways to prepare such as set and setting to get out of these experiences what psychedelics are about as tools for the mind :)

    Who ever made this video: thank-you for talking about psilocybin mushrooms, WHILE depicting images of mushrooms that actually ARE psilocybin species! So many videos, for some reason, think it's a good idea to use footage of, NOT the actual ones they speak on, as if that could NEVER cause a harmful mistake!

    Thank you Michael Pollan for having the gumption and vision to write "How To Change Your Mind!" So glad we are proceeding cautiously, but resolutely, toward incorporating these important plants, fungi, and molecules into legitimate society. Hoping there will soon be a legal method for “healthy normals” to access these molecules (LSD, mescaline, psilocybin), plants and fungi through legitimate sources for personal growth and spiritual development in ALL states.

    You know what would make my brain break its patterns? People acting decently for once...
    Seriously - I have unusual control over my mind. The problem is when I work on overcoming something (and basically all my problems stem from social issues) but don't get rewarded by society. Then it's like... why do I even bother trying if people don't respond well?
    This life just isn't for everyone... you don't have as much control over it as most argue. Because with social things (and those are obviously key), it doesn't really matter THAT much what you do. Yes, you can work on flaws. But in the end, the flaws exist because your environment put them there in the first place. And your environment will allow you to change or punish you for trying to.

    I've been listening to the NPR radio interviews this week wishing I could get through and voice a counter opinion that,... there isn't anything one can do or learn with intoxicants or mind altering chemical pharmacology that cannot be done more productively with natural consciousness shifting methods and guided mental training.
    Lot's of John Lennon quotes from mid 60's about relaxing and floating downstream etc... and yes, John wanted to "turn everybody on" during this period, ... but it passed, faded away for good reason. He later found the a good cup of coffee or the smell of home baked bread to be more than sufficient.
    If one wishes to believe they are more enlightened for using psychedelics, well OK it's your journey. But to recommend it as therapeutic for finding one's mental health is just naive. We have been there, experimented with that and moved on. Honestly, despite this authors personal stories of tripping, I didn't find that he conveyed anything that added to the conversation and (from the look of some of the comments below), only seems to validate what ends up as dead end road of a rather immature phase of growth and development.
    Just my professional opinion based on my experience and observations.
    With good thoughts to you all. :)

      Psychedelics are non toxic precluding an overdose of any kind, and they are not addictive at all. They are valuable medicines that doctors could have been using for decades, but like cannabis, misplaced prejudice has locked them away from the people that could benefit from their use. The research is very promising.

    • @mindyourself7063

      You really should read the research underway. Many of them are working their way through FDA approval as we speak. We will have psychedelic assisted therapy soon. MDMA is the farthest along, for it is entering stage 3 trials. If you read the research you wouldn't be so incredulous. The old stigmas are still deceiving you.
