My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Made me think of Futurama. "Today's mission is for all of you to go to the Brain Slug Planet." "What do we do there?" "Just walk around not wearing a helmet."
I’ll never forget my first time mushrooms a couple months ago and it was such a beautiful experience. It’s a game changer for severe depression and anxiety……Peace! Truly one of the most remarkable phenomenons on the planet
Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
Lions Mane is a God send to old farts like me with memory problems. I was amazed that it worked so well. I'm 70 years old and couldn't remember people's names, even my two dogs' names until I started on the Lion's Mane. After a few days of taking it, a fog lifted from my brain so I could also think more clearly. Walking the dogs and any exercise you can do also helps a lot!
Not even old ppl, I’m 43 and have a horrible memory and apparently it’s caused from depression! I don’t think too many ppl know that … my therapist told me
Around 1995 or so I spent a year micro dosing psilocybin mushrooms. Not enough to get blasted but enough to lightly feel its effects and still maintain my daily routine. I do wish I had kept notes about the changes I experienced but they were all good at a micro dosing volume. It resolved some depression issues I had been wrestling with, it ended my dependence on alcohol and other drugs in order to face the day. It changed my entire outlook on life and the world around me and the results stuck with me when I finally stopped dosing. No withdrawals, no cravings I just stopped doing it one day because I felt my journey had run its course. I think that more people could benefit from this but legality probably stops them along with all the horror stories. I am not saying to go do it, but if you do and you keep it at a micro level you may see more positive change than you expect.
Micro dosing wasn’t a thing in 1995 how’d you come by that. Did you just think to yourself I’ll just take tiny bit here see what it will do. Back then they had no clue they were good for you yet
@@JaredFarrer Microdosing has been around longer than you or I have been around. In the last 10-15 years it got a name attached to it and all the cool kids in silicon valley took the stigma off it but it was always around long before that.
@@iLoveBigKnockers lol I mean I am realistic about it and know that it isn't the best choice for everyone. I also know there are a good number for people out there that would greatly benefit from something like this. Considering they are now doing Ketamine therapy and it is having great results in the right situations I wouldn't think this would be too far out there and probably safer than ketamine overall even though they do different things and affect people differently.
I appreciate your comment. Pretty soon I am gonna start a microdosing regimen. Grey market in CO. I’m still a bit ignorant. Biggest barrier here for me is $$. I don’t just know a guy so I’m going grey market. $100 a month is a lot.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.larks I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Do you not consider amphetamines as "highly dangerous or highly addictive"? American military has been micro dosing troops since WW2 and American medical "professionals", and I use that term lightly, have been dosing children with amphetamines for atlas 50 years. I and several others are proof these practices produce drug addicts.
That is highly dependent on what you are micro dosing now isn't it? You could micro dose meth if you wanted to. Do not know why you would. Just that micro dosing is exactly what it means. Not all pysvhoactives are good either.
@dianapennepacker6854 but in 2024 when people say micro dose they are normally referring to psychedelics. True that some psychedelics r very bad and can actually kill you. 😊
"goes without saying"... Sure. But my post was because in the video he says that people do it with "highly dangerous... Etc" substances and that just isn't true.
Funny mine too. She’s able to actually time travel and change what she said or I said or even did at a moments notice just to win an argument. I wish I had her super powers.
@@Acetyl53 lol was that about my comment? Wasn’t meant to be a rofl moment it was hyperbole. Was actually pissed writing it because that’s literally how it feels with their damn ability to change story’s at any moments notice just to win.
Thank you for pointing out the greater value in eating good food as opposed to popping some pills. Thank you for pointing out it is the early days of this research, and results are very mixed. Thank you for making it clear it is a very complex subject.
I have MS, a neuro degenerative disease, that destroys myelin on the nerve pathways in the brain. My neuro doc told me to drink more caffeine, to help stave off "sundown" syndrome, where my brain slows down over the day, making the symptoms worse by late afternoon. It works. It's not a cure, and it only helps with symptoms for a couple of hours in the afternoon, but it's better than struggling to remember my passwords by 4pm.
@@thehangmansdaughter1120Also ask your doctor about ketamine therapy. It has been shown to greatly improve symptoms in people suffering from MS and its becoming much much more common now a days. Something like low dose Spravato potentially or Ketalar (spelling?) Perhaps even a high dose IV session every few months.
Interesting, I know dementia can cause sundown syndrome, I had no idea that MS caused that as well. I hope you’re coping alright. It’s got to be tough.
Yes, I heard him say that too. All I could think of is if someone was microdosing MDMA, but that is uncommon. Psilocybin is not addictive, and in micro amounts is also not "trip inducing". That is the most common microdosing chemical used and has shown benefits in growing neural pathways, improving communication between different brain areas, and a reduction of depression.
@HeyKay That's a rather selfish and ignorant comment which could lead people to suffer: whilst I wouldn't argue that many, maybe most, people can be helped / encouraged in life by the use of clean/natural psychedelics, there is a percentage of people who 'never come back' and who wonder about spouting nonsense, have complexes, schizophrenia like signs and symptoms and so on which come under the broad umbrella of psychosis: It's very a high risk game in that sense. Problematic results seem to exacerbated by 'poor' set and setting when taking them, but it's hard to define all the parameters. Strong psycho active substances were 'always' taken under supervision of a 'spiritual guide', shaman, whatever they were called in each culture:- Which seems wise enough. I suggest you spend enough time amongst users/abusers to see a big enough sample size to have a realistic understanding/data set to form a proper opinion on this. But I can totally agree that they are never addictive, neither psychologically nor physically- I can't think of a single observation that could lead me to think so for a moment.
07:33 lol what, psychedelic aren't highly addictive, they have anti-addictive effects, though you would know off all people. Their studies on how psilocybe can help with alcohol addiction and other addiction
I actually went on a psilocybin retreat in Jamaica. Had three doses. I absolutely recommend it for anyone over the age of 21 that checks with their doctor first. At my age, 62, I don’t intend to ever take it again. There was absolutely no addiction worries and it was highly therapeutic. Not actually that much fun as I was working through a lot of trauma.
As an Indian, a few more herbs (nootropics) are Bhringraj, Shankha pushpi (pea flower), and Giloy/Guduchi.. Not only do they have amazing brain effects but they also have a few other health benefits. And they have been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years.
@@heyjohnsmith You can use them in prescribed amounts regularly. In fact, there are pea flower brain tonics available. There are also supplements available in India
> they have been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years if anything that's a reason not to use them, back this up with some scientific studies. humans have been doing dumb shit for thousands of years, tradition is no reason to trust them.
Haha yes, ceremonies of enlightenment. Some evolutionary positive, some glorifying fearful fictions. One example; that Bible is riddled with dudes on shrooms in hero doses.
@viper3074 wow, you couldSorry, W O W ! You could be the leader humongity has being waiting for. Have you at last once and for all, put the O in mongo? . Who mong ? You mong. who mong ? Humong. How did you just do ? .My god, Mong ..
100%, remember we have statistics, he said in the video LITERALLY that modafinil has no "serious side effects".. yet this is what the FDA found. "From 1999 to November 2019, the FDA received 9,916 combined reports of adverse events for brand name Provigil and Nuvigil as well as their generics, modafinil and armodafinil. Of those, 4,291 were serious, including 384 deaths." Than there are even other ones that have bought it illegally, the numbers are way higher world wide..those are just the people that took got it prescribed.
As a former Silicon Valley engineer and executive who microdosed, nothing I used could be characterized as dangerous even in doses 1000X what I used nor were they narcotic.
it happens at 7:35 and it is total BS. I wonder if this dude making the video is just that ignorant or he's in the pocket of the gov trying to scare people off them?
@@jpeero If you're genuinely curious it's not hard to find answers. It's worth noting though that, to an uninformed person, my unsourced assertion is equally valid as Some TH-cam Guy's unsourced assertion.
John Hopkins research hospital says they aren’t and are working on funded research to use them for helping people recover from addiction to harder substances.
How do they know their memories are real? I know a guy who claims to have done lots of things, driven an 18 wheeler, marching for civil rights and being arrested, graduating highest in his college class, was a football star, saved the lives of 6 black children drowning in a lake. These are just a few of the memories this guy has, there are so many, it's hard to believe: he was raised as a Black, Jewish, Irish Catholic. At any rate, he has all these crazy memories, but nothing to support them. Nobody come forward to say "I remember that". Not even his child hood friend, named after a breakfast cereal or surreal.
Your friend is just a pathological liar. That's completely different from people with genuinely exceptional memory. How do you know your memories are real is a good question, though, and could apply to anyone.
I had a brain tumor as big as a siver dollar removed. I am engineer assistant and had a very difficult time doing my job After my surgery. I found out about micro dosing and it has been the most amazing thing I have had in my life. I'm using psilocybin, lions main, ginko biloba, and several amino acids and not only has my ability to figure puzzles out come back it's improved plus I have ptsd well I had it but it isn't a problem anymore and my anxiety has dramatically decreased, my memory has improved. Also in researching psilocybin I found out its not possible to get addicted to it because of how it works and it doesn't mess with vital organs so you aren't at risk of overdose. Really the most dangerous thing about it is that it helps you think and understand things better and we can't be thinking independently.
Did they not put you on provigil? I had a brain tumor pituitary macroadenoma. We did 2 rounds oral chemo, and 1 iv chemo, no effect but grew it with gabergoline then got a better image with a T3 MRi then they gamma knifed it out of my head and sent me home. I was prescribed the provigil specifically for balance and cognitive impairment. Almost 20yrs later I've been on this nootropic I go 6 days on 1 day off without burnout. If I forget and go 7 days I'll get a epic failure, and a full day of rest is required. But this meds a God send.
@@dbaumlv702 I'm happy that your doing better. I was a bit lucky in the type I had. It was a schwannoma, which is usually not malignant so I didn't need chemotherapy. they haven't put me on anything that helped the memory loss or the brain fog, but it improves every day. Good luck my friend and I pray for you that every day is better than the day before
As far as amino acids, creatine and taurine are the main 2 that I want but I also take Braggs amino acids that are a mix of them like L-theanine L-lysine. I've been taking Braggs recommended dose but I double the dose of taurine and creatine because from what I've read it takes a high amount to really help the brain. But I'm still experimenting and am not a doctor, just some guy trying to fix my head. I think I've gotten better effects from the psilocybin/lions mane mix than anything else. There is also a tone of research around it so lots to support it.
@@williamallen2777 Thank you! I've tried several of them but never in combination with each other and for longer duration. I'm no doctor either, just trying to get back my kognitiv skills after a rough couple of years with depression, PTSD, opiate dependent etc... I do have a phycisian that can observe me though, especially after she cured her husbands cluster headaches with psilocybin (which oped her eyes)
Psilocybin is very much an interesting drug, many say it opens doorways in your mind. Two things I experienced while on it. I could access memories of events that happened in the distant past of my life, things that I had long forgotten about, it was astounding ! And, to my surprise, and my brother who was watching me, I stood in front of a full length mirror and I could access facial muscles that I never knew I had ! After about ten minutes of this, I had completely changed the actual shape of my forehead and eye lids, my brother was freaking out more than I was. All this is really not that surprising, because it gets neurons firing that are otherwise dormant, so yes, interesting things can happen with certain drugs. To me, Psilocybin was a very very interesting drug, because it allows the mind to operate in ways that are normally not available, the exploration of the self with this stuff was absolutely fascinating !
I've done shrooms before. I've also (unlike most people who are big shroom "enlightened" people) been through a legit "near death experience", though there was nothing "near" about it but idk what else to call it besides dying in hospital and being brought back. And let me tell you, it's not even remotely the same. Sounds like you were literally just hallucinating lol but hey if it makes you & your life better & happy, more power to ya 🙏🏼
@@shy404usernotfound Ego death and dying irl are obviously not the same, but thanks for telling us. Shrooms are helping millions of people to a better health, calling it "just hallucinating" is such an arrogant statement. I seriously doubt you tried them.
@shy404usernotfound Ego death happens quite often with LSD, so I’m sure a high dose of psilocybin could do the same, since both are 5-HT2A agonists which is what mediates their psychedelic effects. It’s terrifying, but once you come back to reality, you have a new perspective about your life. That terror gives you appreciation for being alive, but it doesn’t always work in a positive way for everyone.
@@Sniperboy5551 No, death is not common at all from LSD, in fact it's nonexistent. You are a flat-out liar talking out of your ass. To die from LSD, you would have to take hundreds of doses at once. Event then you would likely survive after a bad trip.
It's nonsense. They aren't to be trifled with, but they are not addictive and not really dangerous either if you have some minor education on them. A simple Google search will tell you that.
Beeb watching you for years now and i still get excited every time a new video pops up 😊 thxs for all the entertainment, knowledge, and time you've given us!
Microdosing usually refers to taking extremely small doses of Psychedelic drugs. Psychedelic drugs (especially at microdoses, which do not cause any kind of trip or hallucination) are definitely not "highly dangerous, highly addictive" Psychedelics are also not narcotics, but I understand that some people just use that word to refer to any and all drugs
@@jelle7 yeah if the law was to protect people they'd ban all alchool consumption and smoking cigaretts since it's both of the biggest causes of death or health issues worldwide but they can tax it and make profit on the medical field with lobbying so why would they say no to the money call. They just didn't find a way to profit off of mushrooms. It's all about money and power.
However, feeling you are a thing will lead you to being that way eventuall. I guess that's the whole premise of the law of assumption thing.. you've got to believe
That's not a problem. Having clarity of mind, what you meant when you said "feeling smarter", is a prerequisite to absorbing knowledge or becoming smarter as you put it. The more clarity that you have, the better you can gain knowledge.
@@endymion12321 Eh, it kinda is, so far the only ones that actually work are prescription based, and expensive, unless you can get generics, but these are all more wakefulness drugs, more akin to adderal than anything. Really... keep studying new things regardless of age, get outside, and exercise daily is your best bet,
@@jerrystoner04Maybe you need to reevaluate yours. The comment clearly just says that they didn't know anything about smart drugs, not that they tried to find out about them. I did a very small amount of research on them a few weeks back and I read about 90% of the things featured in the video. Also, intelligence is not the same as knowledge. Do you get some weird kick out of embarrassing yourself and putting others down with passive aggressive remarks? Go somewhere else with that stuff ffs.
This is the second one of your videos I have seen. I am impressed. (I tend to understate.) This video has already been a springboard for thought and exploration. I would like to support your channel through Patreon, but that is not possible for the foreseeable future; my wife and I are living on Social Security and raising three grandchildren, so things are a bit tight. I'll have to make do with subscribing. Thank you for your excellent work.
Drugs from pharma plants rarely equal herbal plants (see what i did?) in the health stakes,Read Eustace Mullins @murder by injection' for clarification.'rebound-Effect' is a thing,possibly the goal.
Taken mushrooms is like flicking pages in a book and quickly you understand the universe. Feelings of others, you have done in the past. 3D view of your life and responsibilities.
Combat disabled Vet. My own country betrayed me. I'm a chemical weapons survivor. 1 would like to try these to help me stop the nightmare of ptsd and hatred at those who did unto me .

@@Steve4768o When it comes to heavy trauma like that you want to be careful do your research and pick the person trip sitting you carefully, If you can find a psychologist/therapist even better.
Mushrooms containing psilocybin are not "highly addictive", you only form a dependence if you use them habitually, and basically everything can be addictive if you make it a habit.
This one is one for the books. I have ADHD and ashwaganda was a game changer for me when I started taking it. That and fish oils are essential to my day to day life

Well we're already at that point. Just look at how many people in extremely competitive environments are almost always hopped up on something. Very few manage it without. It shouldn't be that way though.
I learned a new word today! That is a rare thing, and the word is worthy of celebration. This truly is a hope for the future. As I watch my mother's memory deteriorating I can only hope there are more studies toward the goal of improving memory before mine is also deteriorating. Thanks for the hope and this valuable information.
I read an article recently about someone who had a back injury and couldn't walk, then he took some psylosibin mushrooms and it healed his back to some extent, I suppose it must heals nerves or something. You can look it up, it was a very interesting article.
Mushroom have a super low likelyhood for abuse and addiction. Tolerance builds super quickly and the trip isn't something most people want to live in constantly on a day to day basis.
Amazing video Thoughty2! Your timing is perfect - I just started limiting my caffeine intake to work hours yesterday. Realized less can be more! Reduced Adderall & caffeine, and my work performance skyrocketed. 🚀 Excited to try caffeine + L-theanine combo next for strategic mood management.

Piracetam is in my experience a decent nootropic. It's effect on focus, memory and energy is mild at low dosage, so is it's side effects. In my experience the stronger the effect is with a nootropic substance, the stronger the side effects are, and vise-versa. I always found your videos to be a work of art. So visually captivating and really the animation and the pictures really go very well with all the segments of the discussion.
There are only a few channels out there I will pay for and this is one of them. You may go over a subject Ive been interested in and have knowledge of but you always come up with information no one knows. I actually learn from this channel as well as enjoy it. Im also a big fan of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and do appreciate the Thoughty Two reference. 42 being the answer to lifes great mystery. ❤❤❤
Not strictly true, as you can technically microdose any substance 😅 However in the context of Silicon Valley bros microdosing psychedelics to improve cognitive function, I agree - psychs are too weird to be addictive and even at a microdose level they have a way of telling you that you need to take a break.
I've tried piracetam and aniracetam. Piracetam arguably helped me find connections between concepts and words while aniracetam helped with my ability to organize my thoughts. The problem with these unregulated compounds is trusting the source and purity of the drug.
"so good it got banned" is such a tinfoil hat thing to say. The "supplement" market is so unregulated it takes a few people dying to get something banned but you can put out ED pills at any convenience store next to 5 hour energy
“Microdosing involves messing with some highly dangerous and highly addictive substances” is misleading and fear mongering. Especially while showing psilocybin/magic mushrooms. They are not addictive, and the dangers are only in misuse/poor education/guidance.
L-Theanine decreases the probability that the pores and nervous system will absorb by allowing sizeable molecules that share bonds, allowing for dilution in a square area.
I take Bromantane 1-3 times per week. It's incredibly helpful for depression and helping to resensitize the dopamine receptors. Basically helps the brain convert L dopa into dopamine. There's quite a few studies done on it that show it's safe. No addictive properties and doesn't cause dependancy. I've given it to my mother in law, my boss, my parents, and my brother. All of them seem to be able to process stress a lot better. Might be a good one to look into
my mom loves most of these. she's a legally retired boomer who technically still works 60% in an entirely different city in a different district. she tried to get these on me, i wasnt too receptive. what i really needed was to lay off the carbs, get a grip on my addictions and most things would just improve from this alone. but i will say this: your video has made me consider taking creatine for the first time. i've honestly seen too many meatheads recommend it to me, but now that i'm working out regularly anyway (this was ACTUALLY the last video i wanted to watch today before pullup day) and with you telling me it might help me cognitively, i will give it another shot. btw, thanks for the hint with green tea. i've always been a big fan of it, not so much coffee.
Yeah dude I mean they are fun once in a while for some people but I have never experienced much of any effect after taking them. Maybe I did a good job growing then I really dono but hey, no hang overs, no harm no foul right? I guess? I dono
I highly recommend you to take L-Carnitine too (there are 2 types: L-Carnitine-Acetate and L-Carnitine-Tartrate). L-Carnitine is absolutely safe to consume daily, your body also produces some which are mostly in your heart. It helps to keep your heart healthy and also to using fat as energy instead of muscle. Tartrate is best for pre-workout supply (20-25 mins before workout) and Acetate boost cognitive functions. Since it's full natural like Vitamin C and safe to consume (your body use max. 4 g/day, all above leave your body like for example B vitamins) these are my BFFs. (You can try BCAA and L-arginine to build muscle too.) Let me know later your experiences 🙂
7:30 "highly dangerous and highly addictive" Proven not to be toxic like alcohol, and useful to treat addiction. Its only risk is psychosis for some individuals in high doses. These are scientific facts u can look em up urself.
If your point is pointing out that thalidomide is a chemical compound made by big pharma deemed safe "until its not" and we are all just Ginny Pigs 💯. When i close my eyes and create an image of what we look like to big pharma, I imagine an ant farm project.
I don’t think caffeine is to me, I can’t focus while on caffeine, my thoughts cannot be controlled while on caffeine they just go wild and give me anxiety 😬
Try the green tea. I used to think it must not have any caffeine because I didn't feel it at all. Because of the other stuff that he mentioned counteracts the negative effects
I would say it exists. I would say that nootropics heavily influence my own creative style in music, as someone who is prescribed a nootropic (Armodafinil).
I have done 16 Ayahuasca ceremonies, 1 iboga TA, and 11 San Pedro. No words can remotely explain it really, but in a nutshell, I saw mutiple realms and the entities within them, vast universes and geometric realities full of vibrant colors, met spirits, and a Godess like entity. It whooped my ass, purged me, detoxified me at the DNA level, gave me and exorcism, showed me past lives back several thousand years, cleaned out over 50 engrams (sanskaras) and traumas, then healed me, revived me at the Soul level, and Showed me more love than any human possible could. And I am just scratching the surface.......
Americans need to focus more on recovery and nutrition before ever considering nootropics. No point in burning the candle at both ends to not be able and enjoy the fruit of your labor as health complications surely start unveiling themselves over time.

@@Dave_of_Mordor Maybe this example will help. If you drink too much water, it will kill you, even if you pee it out. Difficult, yes, a lot of water, but that's an extremely innocuous substance
16:00 Rhodiola doesn't promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters (monoamines). It inhibits the oxidase that catalyzes their breakdown. It is a MAOI of both MAO-A and B, the former being the one responsible for breaking down serotonin, dopamine and epinephrine. You're messing with one of the processes in your brain (and other parts of your body) responsible for keeping neurotransmitters in balance. This won't be life-threatening for everyone, but people should absolutely be talking to their doctor before taking it. Especially if they are taking any prescribed medication or other supplements.
I did multiple sessions of psilocybin to cure my long life depression, and it changed my life. For the first time in my life I finally got a "working" brain. I had the ok of my psychiatrist, je took time to read the multiple studies on the subject.
I have been taking Nootropil (Piracetam) for years. At first it affected the hearing part of my brain. Now I get a better memory. My friend took it and he said his eyesight got better.
Did he say that, or did he actually compare it to prior eye exams? The biggest issue with Nootropics is wanting them to work , then ending up biased. Not saying either of you is lying, just that it is very hard to really know without some heavy independent testing. A lot of the time it is just thinking it is working, leading to us spending more time studying new things, finding new hobbies, etc which lead to natural increases in neural capabilities, and we point to the nootropic rather than what we have been doing since taking them.
I swear by magic mushrooms. They helped me in so many ways, especially in acknowledging our spiritual nature and rejecting the idea that we are these bodies. The fear of death fell away as well and my ability to understand things in a far deeper scope.
In what way, how does it help you? What is the real benefit, did you change your life afterwards in any meaningfull way, or just do the same things you did before. Did you help other people, save them or change their lifes? You make more income and support communities or help victims or domestic abuse or children with disabilities or cancer? Do you go to orphanages and donate money? No, none of it and i bet 200k$ RIGHT NOW, that those drugs had 0 impact on yourself, you're just delusional and think it helped, even tho..nothing, literally nothing in your life changed or had any impact. How do I know? Because i've spoken to so many people who talk exactly like you..who took halucinating drugs..of every kind.. You all talk the same bs..but are just a waste..if you at least did something with your life..helped at least ONE PERSON.. But than again, there is no use, since you're not the real body, we're all connected BS, while a little girl at the age of 13 has to sell her body in indonesia..what a great life..jeez.. That's why i hate humanity so much, those who are useless, are useless and proud of themselves..i'm so fking done..
Thanks for the presentation. I have been taking nootropics for over 40 years. Starting with Ginseng back in my early twenties. My path was fueled by an incredibly frustrating and unknown ADHD condition. I have used all the substances mentioned here and more, and still do in courses. Cordyceps are a staple. A brilliant adaptogen! ( I understand the reasons why, but Psilocybin should be included in this list)
Cordyceps - careful if you have prostate cancer or genetically prone to it. Ashwagandha - anhedonia, apathy, emotional numbness, lack of motivation Modafinil - will severely exacerbate OCD
Yes, it's one of the only commonly used substances that actually has compelling evidence suggesting cognitive enhancement in healthy individuals. Nicotinic acetycholine receptors, specifically a7 and a4b2 play a significant role in modulating focus and executive function. Not a nootropic by the original definition though.
Ive done studies on nic and it like all things has benefits and negatives althought i will agree the added chemicals pair chemically with nicotince to make it more addictive anr those chemicals also are worse then nicotine @astralascendance
I have hyperthymesia. I was diagnosed by a neurologist at age 48. I remember back as far as age 5 and a bit before. I remember almost all of it. I have a lot more than normal communication between my frontal lobe and hippocampus I am told. I also have Autism and ADHD also diagnosed by the neurologist. My brain is fast and I read fast and even talk fast. I used to be full of anxiety and went through depression. I also suffered from PTSD. I am very sensitive to stimulation of all kinds and I have very sharp senses. Still do not need glasses at age 53. My stress and anxiety are in the past today. I gave my heart to Jesus and he actually took my anxiety away. He also saved my marriage and my wife and I live like honeymooners today. 33 years married. Love is patient and kind and keeps no record of wrongs. As far as drugs I tried most of them earlier in life. I tried to self medicate in too many ways and was left empty. I was also set free from alcoholism and the craving and compulsion to drink was taken from me just like that. I can only call it supernatural. Nothing else worked but prayer for me and faith in that prayer.
Correction to the assertion at ~5:00, people don't just "mess with" various herbs etc. to "get an edge over their peers." There are dozens of reasons people take nutritional steps to protect their brain health, such as preventing dementia, alleviate the cognitve impact of hormonal decline, or managing neurodivergent symptoms such as ADHD. Before neurodivergence was even recognized it can be reasonably assumed this is the ONLY way it was ever managed.

Thank you. I've just added all these to the blender. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.
My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.
Hey mate, can someone help me with the source?
doctorcyruss is your guy, got all psychedelics and the most knowledgeable that i know.
He's on telgram?
Yes, and tiktok
It's amazing how they work better than antidepressants and serve as recreational purpose as well
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Where do I reach this dude? If possible can I find him on Google
"Cordyceps can't control a human mind." This is exactly what a cordyceps would say.
“How do you do fellow humans, I am totally not a cordyceps fungi. Anyways, wanna buy some mind control?”
Made me think of Futurama. "Today's mission is for all of you to go to the Brain Slug Planet." "What do we do there?" "Just walk around not wearing a helmet."
@@3fast5you😂 👏
As a mycologist. Very funny
Cordyceps would say that and mean it. She didn't control our mind. Just our entire reality.
I’ll never forget my first time mushrooms a couple months ago and it was such a beautiful experience. It’s a game changer for severe depression and anxiety……Peace! Truly one of the most remarkable phenomenons on the planet
Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
Did you do it alone? Like do you really need to have a tripsitter?
paradoxpek is your guy. My first time doing psychedelics was a great experience. Therapeutic guidelines
Yup it’s not advised to do alone. Everyone reacts differently and not always positive.
How does a middle class source this? He's on Instgram??
Psilocybin mushrooms have definitely improved my mental well-being. They've been quite helpful in managing my anxiety and depression.
I've been wanting to give it a go, but I'm struggling to find a reliable source.

How do I reach out to him? He on Telgram??
Yes, and TikTok
I tried golden teachers for the first time, and it was an amazing experience.
Lions Mane is a God send to old farts like me with memory problems. I was amazed that it worked so well. I'm 70 years old and couldn't remember people's names, even my two dogs' names until I started on the Lion's Mane. After a few days of taking it, a fog lifted from my brain so I could also think more clearly. Walking the dogs and any exercise you can do also helps a lot!
tell me more about your experience w/ lions mane. how did u dose? what is your source?
From what company was your Lion's mane, what dose? Thanks
I know a spot where it grows in the forest.... Pretty cool looking... I have made a tea, but, never tried it long term.

Not even old ppl, I’m 43 and have a horrible memory and apparently it’s caused from depression! I don’t think too many ppl know that … my therapist told me
Around 1995 or so I spent a year micro dosing psilocybin mushrooms. Not enough to get blasted but enough to lightly feel its effects and still maintain my daily routine. I do wish I had kept notes about the changes I experienced but they were all good at a micro dosing volume. It resolved some depression issues I had been wrestling with, it ended my dependence on alcohol and other drugs in order to face the day. It changed my entire outlook on life and the world around me and the results stuck with me when I finally stopped dosing. No withdrawals, no cravings I just stopped doing it one day because I felt my journey had run its course. I think that more people could benefit from this but legality probably stops them along with all the horror stories. I am not saying to go do it, but if you do and you keep it at a micro level you may see more positive change than you expect.
Micro dosing wasn’t a thing in 1995 how’d you come by that. Did you just think to yourself I’ll just take tiny bit here see what it will do. Back then they had no clue they were good for you yet
@@JaredFarrer Microdosing has been around longer than you or I have been around. In the last 10-15 years it got a name attached to it and all the cool kids in silicon valley took the stigma off it but it was always around long before that.
"I'm not telling you to do it, but here's why you totally should"
@@iLoveBigKnockers lol I mean I am realistic about it and know that it isn't the best choice for everyone. I also know there are a good number for people out there that would greatly benefit from something like this. Considering they are now doing Ketamine therapy and it is having great results in the right situations I wouldn't think this would be too far out there and probably safer than ketamine overall even though they do different things and affect people differently.
I appreciate your comment. Pretty soon I am gonna start a microdosing regimen. Grey market in CO. I’m still a bit ignorant. Biggest barrier here for me is $$. I don’t just know a guy so I’m going grey market. $100 a month is a lot.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.larks I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Micro-dosing does not usually involve anything "highly dangerous and highly addictive". Also narcotics and psychedelics are not at all the same.
Do you not consider amphetamines as "highly dangerous or highly addictive"? American military has been micro dosing troops since WW2 and American medical "professionals", and I use that term lightly, have been dosing children with amphetamines for atlas 50 years. I and several others are proof these practices produce drug addicts.
That is highly dependent on what you are micro dosing now isn't it?
You could micro dose meth if you wanted to. Do not know why you would. Just that micro dosing is exactly what it means.
Not all pysvhoactives are good either.
@dianapennepacker6854 but in 2024 when people say micro dose they are normally referring to psychedelics. True that some psychedelics r very bad and can actually kill you. 😊
It pretty much goes without saying that micro dosing refers to psychedelics
"goes without saying"... Sure. But my post was because in the video he says that people do it with "highly dangerous... Etc" substances and that just isn't true.
My wife can remember every mistake that I’ve ever made and every word that I’ve ever said over the last 40 years. She reminds me all the time. 😂

Thank you for pointing out the greater value in eating good food as opposed to popping some pills. Thank you for pointing out it is the early days of this research, and results are very mixed. Thank you for making it clear it is a very complex subject.
I have MS, a neuro degenerative disease, that destroys myelin on the nerve pathways in the brain. My neuro doc told me to drink more caffeine, to help stave off "sundown" syndrome, where my brain slows down over the day, making the symptoms worse by late afternoon. It works. It's not a cure, and it only helps with symptoms for a couple of hours in the afternoon, but it's better than struggling to remember my passwords by 4pm.
Have you tried lion's mane?
@@gagi96 Not yet, but I'm going to bring it up next time I see him.
@@thehangmansdaughter1120Also ask your doctor about ketamine therapy. It has been shown to greatly improve symptoms in people suffering from MS and its becoming much much more common now a days. Something like low dose Spravato potentially or Ketalar (spelling?) Perhaps even a high dose IV session every few months.
Interesting, I know dementia can cause sundown syndrome, I had no idea that MS caused that as well. I hope you’re coping alright. It’s got to be tough.
Adderall also works for this.
Psychedelics are neither "highly dangerous" nor highly addictive". Do your own research
Big facts! I could go without needing a ceremony for years
Exactly. Honestly he lost all credibility the moment he said that so I didn't finish the remaining 20 minutes of the video.
Yes, I heard him say that too. All I could think of is if someone was microdosing MDMA, but that is uncommon. Psilocybin is not addictive, and in micro amounts is also not "trip inducing". That is the most common microdosing chemical used and has shown benefits in growing neural pathways, improving communication between different brain areas, and a reduction of depression.
@HeyKay That's a rather selfish and ignorant comment which could lead people to suffer: whilst I wouldn't argue that many, maybe most, people can be helped / encouraged in life by the use of clean/natural psychedelics, there is a percentage of people who 'never come back' and who wonder about spouting nonsense, have complexes, schizophrenia like signs and symptoms and so on which come under the broad umbrella of psychosis: It's very a high risk game in that sense. Problematic results seem to exacerbated by 'poor' set and setting when taking them, but it's hard to define all the parameters. Strong psycho active substances were 'always' taken under supervision of a 'spiritual guide', shaman, whatever they were called in each culture:- Which seems wise enough.
I suggest you spend enough time amongst users/abusers to see a big enough sample size to have a realistic understanding/data set to form a proper opinion on this.
But I can totally agree that they are never addictive, neither psychologically nor physically- I can't think of a single observation that could lead me to think so for a moment.
@@gurglejug627 those folks are very few and far between and always have mental health issues, usually schizophrenia.
07:33 lol what, psychedelic aren't highly addictive, they have anti-addictive effects, though you would know off all people. Their studies on how psilocybe can help with alcohol addiction and other addiction
Yeah... Holding a mushroom while saying all those things.... THAT was just WRONG! But then he goes on to say CORRECT things... which makes it WORSE.
Lsd and shrooms aren't particularly dangerous either
I actually went on a psilocybin retreat in Jamaica. Had three doses. I absolutely recommend it for anyone over the age of 21 that checks with their doctor first. At my age, 62, I don’t intend to ever take it again. There was absolutely no addiction worries and it was highly therapeutic. Not actually that much fun as I was working through a lot of trauma.
Came here to say the same thing! I like his channel, but that comment was such nonsense.
Psychedelics are 100% addictive, how do I know ? I was addicted to them for almost a year.
As an Indian, a few more herbs (nootropics) are Bhringraj, Shankha pushpi (pea flower), and Giloy/Guduchi.. Not only do they have amazing brain effects but they also have a few other health benefits. And they have been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years.
Thanks 😊
Do you eat this regularly?
@@heyjohnsmith You can use them in prescribed amounts regularly. In fact, there are pea flower brain tonics available. There are also supplements available in India

100%, remember we have statistics, he said in the video LITERALLY that modafinil has no "serious side effects".. yet this is what the FDA found.
"From 1999 to November 2019, the FDA received 9,916 combined reports of adverse events for brand name Provigil and Nuvigil as well as their generics, modafinil and armodafinil. Of those, 4,291 were serious, including 384 deaths."

Eggs Zactly. In a lions manes mouth. Stay clear of any thing that gives you a buzz.
As a former Silicon Valley engineer and executive who microdosed, nothing I used could be characterized as dangerous even in doses 1000X what I used nor were they narcotic.

Corn pop would back him up lol
I had a brain tumor as big as a siver dollar removed. I am engineer assistant and had a very difficult time doing my job After my surgery. I found out about micro dosing and it has been the most amazing thing I have had in my life. I'm using psilocybin, lions main, ginko biloba, and several amino acids and not only has my ability to figure puzzles out come back it's improved plus I have ptsd well I had it but it isn't a problem anymore and my anxiety has dramatically decreased, my memory has improved. Also in researching psilocybin I found out its not possible to get addicted to it because of how it works and it doesn't mess with vital organs so you aren't at risk of overdose. Really the most dangerous thing about it is that it helps you think and understand things better and we can't be thinking independently.
Did they not put you on provigil? I had a brain tumor pituitary macroadenoma. We did 2 rounds oral chemo, and 1 iv chemo, no effect but grew it with gabergoline then got a better image with a T3 MRi then they gamma knifed it out of my head and sent me home. I was prescribed the provigil specifically for balance and cognitive impairment. Almost 20yrs later I've been on this nootropic I go 6 days on 1 day off without burnout. If I forget and go 7 days I'll get a epic failure, and a full day of rest is required. But this meds a God send.
@@dbaumlv702 I'm happy that your doing better. I was a bit lucky in the type I had. It was a schwannoma, which is usually not malignant so I didn't need chemotherapy. they haven't put me on anything that helped the memory loss or the brain fog, but it improves every day. Good luck my friend and I pray for you that every day is better than the day before
Very interesting! Can you please specify what amino acids and what dosages you are using?
As far as amino acids, creatine and taurine are the main 2 that I want but I also take Braggs amino acids that are a mix of them like L-theanine L-lysine. I've been taking Braggs recommended dose but I double the dose of taurine and creatine because from what I've read it takes a high amount to really help the brain. But I'm still experimenting and am not a doctor, just some guy trying to fix my head. I think I've gotten better effects from the psilocybin/lions mane mix than anything else. There is also a tone of research around it so lots to support it.

I do have a phycisian that can observe me though, especially after she cured her husbands cluster headaches with psilocybin (which oped her eyes)
Psilocybin is very much an interesting drug, many say it opens doorways in your mind. Two things I experienced while on it.
I could access memories of events that happened in the distant past of my life, things that I had long forgotten about, it was astounding ! And, to my surprise, and my brother who was watching me, I stood in front of a full length mirror and I could access facial muscles that I never knew I had ! After about ten minutes of this, I had completely changed the actual shape of my forehead and eye lids, my brother was freaking out more than I was. All this is really not that surprising, because it gets neurons firing that are otherwise dormant, so yes, interesting things can happen with certain drugs. To me, Psilocybin was a very very interesting drug, because it allows the mind to operate in ways that are normally not available, the exploration of the self with this stuff was absolutely fascinating !
I've done shrooms before. I've also (unlike most people who are big shroom "enlightened" people) been through a legit "near death experience", though there was nothing "near" about it but idk what else to call it besides dying in hospital and being brought back.

Shrooms are helping millions of people to a better health, calling it "just hallucinating" is such an arrogant statement. I seriously doubt you tried them.
@shy404usernotfound Ego death happens quite often with LSD, so I’m sure a high dose of psilocybin could do the same, since both are 5-HT2A agonists which is what mediates their psychedelic effects. It’s terrifying, but once you come back to reality, you have a new perspective about your life. That terror gives you appreciation for being alive, but it doesn’t always work in a positive way for everyone.
@@Sniperboy5551 No, death is not common at all from LSD, in fact it's nonexistent. You are a flat-out liar talking out of your ass. To die from LSD, you would have to take hundreds of doses at once. Event then you would likely survive after a bad trip.

Microdosing usually refers to taking extremely small doses of Psychedelic drugs. Psychedelic drugs (especially at microdoses, which do not cause any kind of trip or hallucination) are definitely not "highly dangerous, highly addictive"
Psychedelics are also not narcotics, but I understand that some people just use that word to refer to any and all drugs
If you blindly follow the law, then yes, apparently you're taking highly dangerous, addictive narcotics. These laws are made to "protect ourselves".
@@jelle7 yeah if the law was to protect people they'd ban all alchool consumption and smoking cigaretts since it's both of the biggest causes of death or health issues worldwide but they can tax it and make profit on the medical field with lobbying so why would they say no to the money call.
They just didn't find a way to profit off of mushrooms. It's all about money and power.

Mushrooms containing psilocybin are not "highly addictive", you only form a dependence if you use them habitually, and basically everything can be addictive if you make it a habit.
This one is one for the books. I have ADHD and ashwaganda was a game changer for me when I started taking it. That and fish oils are essential to my day to day life
U want to swap out the fish oils for an alternative omega source. Fish oil is actually a scam
@avatarx2614 not for me.
Most fish oil is, in fact, a scam. COD liver oil that’s been third party tested is the way to go. Such as Dropi brand.
I have adhd but ashwaganda just makes me emotionally numb
Ashwagandha and Rhodiola are my two go-tos for the last 6 years. I hate that they have become so popular in the past few years it's been harder to get. Well the higher quality I mean.

I learned a new word today! That is a rare thing, and the word is worthy of celebration. This truly is a hope for the future. As I watch my mother's memory deteriorating I can only hope there are more studies toward the goal of improving memory before mine is also deteriorating. Thanks for the hope and this valuable information.
I read an article recently about someone who had a back injury and couldn't walk, then he took some psylosibin mushrooms and it healed his back to some extent, I suppose it must heals nerves or something. You can look it up, it was a very interesting article.
"Highly addictive" is a stupid thing to say about mushrooms who are anti-addicting
He probably doesn't know anything about them and is just going off its drug classification
lol ok zoomer.
Mushroom have a super low likelyhood for abuse and addiction. Tolerance builds super quickly and the trip isn't something most people want to live in constantly on a day to day basis.
Psychoactive mushrooms weren't even mentioned. Find something else to get offended about.
To be fair, he mentioned microdosing and the the person on screen was clearly holding a piece of shrooms.@@t.j.payeur5331

Amazing video Thoughty2! Your timing is perfect - I just started limiting my caffeine intake to work hours yesterday. Realized less can be more! Reduced Adderall & caffeine, and my work performance skyrocketed. 🚀 Excited to try caffeine + L-theanine combo next for strategic mood management. Already seeing huge productivity gains! 💪 Thanks for the insightful content!
Piracetam is in my experience a decent nootropic. It's effect on focus, memory and energy is mild at low dosage, so is it's side effects. In my experience the stronger the effect is with a nootropic substance, the stronger the side effects are, and vise-versa.
I always found your videos to be a work of art. So visually captivating and really the animation and the pictures really go very well with all the segments of the discussion.
Anytime a video starts with a disclaimer, you know it'll be a good one.
There are only a few channels out there I will pay for and this is one of them.

Microdosing doesn`t involve anything addictive.
Came to say the same thing.
Not strictly true, as you can technically microdose any substance 😅
However in the context of Silicon Valley bros microdosing psychedelics to improve cognitive function, I agree - psychs are too weird to be addictive and even at a microdose level they have a way of telling you that you need to take a break.
Was just going to say this.
Absolutely
I've tried piracetam and aniracetam. Piracetam arguably helped me find connections between concepts and words while aniracetam helped with my ability to organize my thoughts. The problem with these unregulated compounds is trusting the source and purity of the drug.
The main psychedelics used for microdosing (mushrooms and lsd) are not "highly addictive". Yes, they may be abused, but that is true with anything
Some nootropics work well. They usually get banned.
Right “noopept” is the best one I found but hard to find
"so good it got banned" is such a tinfoil hat thing to say. The "supplement" market is so unregulated it takes a few people dying to get something banned but you can put out ED pills at any convenience store next to 5 hour energy
4:20🙃
Why?
like what?
Hey "42", always get a kick out of your videos, and your humor. I always learn something new. Your productions are through the roof. Thank you!
“Microdosing involves messing with some highly dangerous and highly addictive substances” is misleading and fear mongering. Especially while showing psilocybin/magic mushrooms. They are not addictive, and the dangers are only in misuse/poor education/guidance.
L-Theanine decreases the probability that the pores and nervous system will absorb by allowing sizeable molecules that share bonds, allowing for dilution in a square area.
I take Bromantane 1-3 times per week. It's incredibly helpful for depression and helping to resensitize the dopamine receptors. Basically helps the brain convert L dopa into dopamine. There's quite a few studies done on it that show it's safe. No addictive properties and doesn't cause dependancy.
I've given it to my mother in law, my boss, my parents, and my brother. All of them seem to be able to process stress a lot better. Might be a good one to look into
Yhanks
“highly dangerous and highly addictive “. ,, that’s when I quit listening..
You should have listened properly to what he actually said.
And who are you anyway?
my mom loves most of these. she's a legally retired boomer who technically still works 60% in an entirely different city in a different district. she tried to get these on me, i wasnt too receptive. what i really needed was to lay off the carbs, get a grip on my addictions and most things would just improve from this alone.
but i will say this: your video has made me consider taking creatine for the first time. i've honestly seen too many meatheads recommend it to me, but now that i'm working out regularly anyway (this was ACTUALLY the last video i wanted to watch today before pullup day) and with you telling me it might help me cognitively, i will give it another shot.
btw, thanks for the hint with green tea. i've always been a big fan of it, not so much coffee.
Yeah dude I mean they are fun once in a while for some people but I have never experienced much of any effect after taking them. Maybe I did a good job growing then I really dono but hey, no hang overs, no harm no foul right? I guess? I dono
@@mathewhex7045 what are you talking about?
I highly recommend you to take L-Carnitine too (there are 2 types: L-Carnitine-Acetate and L-Carnitine-Tartrate). L-Carnitine is absolutely safe to consume daily, your body also produces some which are mostly in your heart. It helps to keep your heart healthy and also to using fat as energy instead of muscle. Tartrate is best for pre-workout supply (20-25 mins before workout) and Acetate boost cognitive functions. Since it's full natural like Vitamin C and safe to consume (your body use max. 4 g/day, all above leave your body like for example B vitamins) these are my BFFs. (You can try BCAA and L-arginine to build muscle too.) Let me know later your experiences 🙂
@@Serato17 arginine is absorbed very badly. take citrulline, your body will synthesize arginine from it more efficiently

You are not alone in that! Thankfully I learned that I am not alone either 😂
Me too! Caffeine makes me a jittery mess
Try the green tea. I used to think it must not have any caffeine because I didn't feel it at all. Because of the other stuff that he mentioned counteracts the negative effects
Are you a furry?
if psychedelic is about psychotropics
what about... noodelic rock? lol
Please see my page lol -- notice I am a music creator? I am prescribed Armodafinil
I would say it exists. I would say that nootropics heavily influence my own creative style in music, as someone who is prescribed a nootropic (Armodafinil).
I think I might start using the descriptor, "Nootropic Rock"-- so THANK YOU! Brilliant ✨️
I'd say there were already 2 categories that fit that niche: prog and new wave. Of course, you could just stick to jazz. 😎

Abuse is defined as continuing to do something that is harmul. If there is no harm involved then there is no abuse.
too much of an innocuous thing will make it harmful. I've learnt that the hard way lol
@@secretcircusofficial if it's harmful, how can it be innocent?
@@Dave_of_Mordor Maybe this example will help. If you drink too much water, it will kill you, even if you pee it out. Difficult, yes, a lot of water, but that's an extremely innocuous substance
16:00 Rhodiola doesn't promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters (monoamines). It inhibits the oxidase that catalyzes their breakdown. It is a MAOI of both MAO-A and B, the former being the one responsible for breaking down serotonin, dopamine and epinephrine. You're messing with one of the processes in your brain (and other parts of your body) responsible for keeping neurotransmitters in balance. This won't be life-threatening for everyone, but people should absolutely be talking to their doctor before taking it. Especially if they are taking any prescribed medication or other supplements.
You're calling microdosing dangerous and highly addictive? This couldn't be farther from the truth my friend. This is supported by me, and science.
Yeah, that was pretty wierd.
Not to mention they aren't a narcotic.

I have been taking Nootropil (Piracetam) for years. At first it affected the hearing part of my brain. Now I get a better memory. My friend took it and he said his eyesight got better.
Did he say that, or did he actually compare it to prior eye exams? The biggest issue with Nootropics is wanting them to work , then ending up biased. Not saying either of you is lying, just that it is very hard to really know without some heavy independent testing. A lot of the time it is just thinking it is working, leading to us spending more time studying new things, finding new hobbies, etc which lead to natural increases in neural capabilities, and we point to the nootropic rather than what we have been doing since taking them.
How did it affect the hearing part of your brain? In a good way or a bad way?

I swear by magic mushrooms. They helped me in so many ways, especially in acknowledging our spiritual nature and rejecting the idea that we are these bodies. The fear of death fell away as well and my ability to understand things in a far deeper scope.
Hey, do you mean you no longer fear death?
In what way, how does it help you? What is the real benefit, did you change your life afterwards in any meaningfull way, or just do the same things you did before.
Did you help other people, save them or change their lifes?
You make more income and support communities or help victims or domestic abuse or children with disabilities or cancer?
Do you go to orphanages and donate money?
No, none of it and i bet 200k$ RIGHT NOW, that those drugs had 0 impact on yourself, you're just delusional and think it helped, even tho..nothing, literally nothing in your life changed or had any impact. How do I know? Because i've spoken to so many people who talk exactly like you..who took halucinating drugs..of every kind..
You all talk the same bs..but are just a waste..if you at least did something with your life..helped at least ONE PERSON..

Thanks for the presentation. I have been taking nootropics for over 40 years. Starting with Ginseng back in my early twenties. My path was fueled by an incredibly frustrating and unknown ADHD condition. I have used all the substances mentioned here and more, and still do in courses. Cordyceps are a staple. A brilliant adaptogen! ( I understand the reasons why, but Psilocybin should be included in this list)
Cordyceps - careful if you have prostate cancer or genetically prone to it.
Ashwagandha - anhedonia, apathy, emotional numbness, lack of motivation
Modafinil - will severely exacerbate OCD
Bacopa - will down regulate tyrosine hydroxylase, so it decreases dopamine production. Causes apathy and seriously lowers motivation.
If monks take Lions Mane it probably stops them feeling randy so they can stay celibate.

Isn't nicotine a nootropic? Lol
It is an insecticide.
@@jeffhaskett2766 Nicotine is good for you! It's neuroprotective. However, cigarettes are carcinogenic.
Yes, it's one of the only commonly used substances that actually has compelling evidence suggesting cognitive enhancement in healthy individuals. Nicotinic acetycholine receptors, specifically a7 and a4b2 play a significant role in modulating focus and executive function.
Not a nootropic by the original definition though.
Ive done studies on nic and it like all things has benefits and negatives althought i will agree the added chemicals pair chemically with nicotince to make it more addictive anr those chemicals also are worse then nicotine @astralascendance
@@hoppy23 what are the negatives?
I have hyperthymesia. I was diagnosed by a neurologist at age 48. I remember back as far as age 5 and a bit before. I remember almost all of it. I have a lot more than normal communication between my frontal lobe and hippocampus I am told. I also have Autism and ADHD also diagnosed by the neurologist. My brain is fast and I read fast and even talk fast. I used to be full of anxiety and went through depression. I also suffered from PTSD. I am very sensitive to stimulation of all kinds and I have very sharp senses. Still do not need glasses at age 53. My stress and anxiety are in the past today. I gave my heart to Jesus and he actually took my anxiety away. He also saved my marriage and my wife and I live like honeymooners today. 33 years married. Love is patient and kind and keeps no record of wrongs. As far as drugs I tried most of them earlier in life. I tried to self medicate in too many ways and was left empty. I was also set free from alcoholism and the craving and compulsion to drink was taken from me just like that. I can only call it supernatural. Nothing else worked but prayer for me and faith in that prayer.
That sounds awful. To remember absolutely everything.. 😮
I’d like to know how to induce this. Any suggestions?
Correction to the assertion at ~5:00, people don't just "mess with" various herbs etc. to "get an edge over their peers." There are dozens of reasons people take nutritional steps to protect their brain health, such as preventing dementia, alleviate the cognitve impact of hormonal decline, or managing neurodivergent symptoms such as ADHD. Before neurodivergence was even recognized it can be reasonably assumed this is the ONLY way it was ever managed.
