    I have stage 4 cancer, and I have legally used psychedelic therapy to treat my end of life anxiety. (I'm the first Canadian to legally do this) I've had some extremely good results from this treatment, and I can personally verify that it is usually effective for about 6 months for me.

    Exploring psilocybin was a profound journey for me, it was the beginning of my path towards healing after years of battling heroin addiction. I'm 3 years clean now and i must tell you, the experience was incredibly therapeutic. It felt like a gentle unraveling of the knots in my mind, lifting the heavy fog of depression and anxiety that had plagued me for so long.

    DONT DO PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS IF YOU ARE NOT READY!!! I don’t know how to stress this enough, if you are anxious at all before you trip it is best not to take the risk, you need to know what you are going to do while you are tripping before you begin your trip (your going to forget but it’s good to have a game plan if you get bored or start having a bad trip), and always have a trip sitter. Only take about 100 micrograms or 1 tab of acid at the most for your first time and it would probably be better if you did less. If your doing shrooms start with 1-1.5 grams. Normally if you want a true psychedelic experience on shrooms people say take 3.5 grams. DO NOT TAKE A FULL DOSE UNTIL YOU HAVE ALREADY TRIED THE PSYCHEDELIC I cannot stress this enough. You are not ready for it. Start slow follow those rules and I promise you will have a good time.

    • @Moonshine449
      @Moonshine449 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      It was the opposite for me. I had no idea what I was getting into, took 7gs with some friends and I was transported into another realm. It felt like i was there for a long long time. But it was also great because I had no idea what I was getting into. Now that I know a lot about them, I just freak out every time. But not everyone will have the same experience I did. Being with good friends probably saved me from freaking out

    • @AcenDurran
      @AcenDurran 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      This is 100% true. But also, having someone there to trip sit you makes a HUGE difference. I remember, me and a couple of my friends did acid for the first time not knowing how it was, and the first 2-3 hours were good, we were watching cool videos and having a laugh but then we got bored and everyone just went back home, and then it got dark for me. On the other hand, I was trip sitting my friend who was doing acid for the first time and he had an AMAZING experience. He still talks about it to this day lmao 😂. His entire trip was amazing because I was there with him making sure no negative energy could ruin his trip. Because once a bad vide or a bad thought is brought up or thought about while doing psychedelics, it’s almost impossible to make your mind stop racing about the topic. So, I made sure he and I were in a good mood the entire time. I agreed with everything he was saying and kinda just kept a chill vibe. It was great, but I wish someone was there to do that for me. That is very important.

    My parents have both done therapy sessions involving psychedelics. My dad used to be constantly angry and snapping at everyone if you don't do exactly what was said right away and mom has progressively gotten afraid of her own shadow. After the sessions, I told my dad for the first time I'm taking a break from school. I fully expected retaliation and him to make me suffer. What I got instead, was advice on how to handle my mental health and not give up on school. He's pushing me to go to therapy and my whole family to get the help we need. It isn't a miracle drug. The drug is not what made this change. However, it helped him get new incites in to what we're feeling, how he feels about everything amd everyone, and how he chooses to see the world. Mom just had her first session but she's making small strides to betterment. I feel like I lost my family a long time ago and now I feel like I'm getting them back again. It's truly a time to be alive.

      My ex step-mom is a narcissist, and doing psychedelics twice, made her legit get to her senses both times. She was so genuinely shocked and apologetic about her behavior, is like for the first time ever she was present and we could talk to her and be listened, she wasn’t on an eternal monologue anymore… then it wears off and is like her defense mechanism returns, and she’s not focusing her eyes on you anymore, back at living an alternative life where she’s the main character and we’re just part of her storyline, always trying to screw her up and take her shine and that’s why she’s always so unhappy..
      I want more than anything for narcissism to be cured somehow, and maybe this may be one step to the solution if one is ever possible…

      So, before taking the drug, he was volatile and abusive. After taking the drug, he's calm and more of a counselor. But, you say that _"the drug is not what made this change."_ What better explanation do you have for his abrupt changes for the better?

      what you are really doing right now is what the hippies did back then. what psychedellics, and its promotion, really does, is allows you to plant more chaos in news and events. you really even just lets the door open in your video, just exactly for this. (by you i mean the entire channel and its supporters. you are just a hippie actor, like all actors.) which is what you are really after, and what the hippies were after, in the past. for people like you and hippies, its liberating. and over 80% of the world populace is actually like this. so, there is no problem with promoting widespread psychedellics, legally, as 80% of the goverment is yours the world over. the issue hoever is, you goal is to generate fear. and the possibility that psychedellics could be legal soon, generates more fear, then, if psychedellics are legal and everyone already uses them.
      which is why, you will never make psychedellics legal, but always make it appear that, there is a big push going on, and psychedellics will soon be legal.
      its the same as, how, savegery is always appearing to be increasing, but it never really does.
      unless you rebrand "psychedellics", and come up with another thing, another brand, to generate fear, you will never make psychedellics readily available.
      generating fear is the real medicine of the many.

    I found that description to be profound in its economy of words. I think that was very validating to the experience of being stuck in one of those ruts. And the prospect of something to help blast yourself out of one is just incredible.

(by you i mean the entire channel and its supporters. you are just a hippie actor, like all actors.) which is what you are really after, and what the hippies were after, in the past. for people like you and hippies, its liberating. and over 80% of the world populace is actually like this. so, there is no problem with promoting widespread psychedellics, legally, as 80% of the goverment is yours the world over. the issue hoever is, you goal is to generate fear. and the possibility that psychedellics could be legal soon, generates more fear, then, if psychedellics are legal and everyone already uses them.
      which is why, you will never make psychedellics legal, but always make it appear that, there is a big push going on, and psychedellics will soon be legal.
      its the same as, how, savegery is always appearing to be increasing, but it never really does.
      unless you rebrand "psychedellics", and come up with another thing, another brand, to generate fear, you will never make psychedellics readily available.
      generating fear is the real medicine of the many.

    I have struggled with ADD/ADHD for most of my life, and I am in my late 50's. After failed efforts of trying Ritalin and Adderall, and dealing with negative side effects of those drugs, a close friend talked me into micro-dosing LSD. In desperation, I tried it. It has completely changed my life. I am a completely different person. I kept it secret from my closest friends for almost a year, but people who had known me for years talked about how I seemed like a different person, someone who was comfortable in their own skin, relaxed, self assured, thoughtful, measured. They would always joke by saying "What ever you're taking I want some of that" and I would just smile and not tell them what had changed me lol. I fear that these types of treatment will never be legal because the corrupt pharma companies have too powerful of a lobby in Washington. Pharma companies want people to remain sick. Their worse fear would be for our population to become more healthy.

What I got was way more than I expected. I was expecting an exciting and interesting trip, but what I got was a truth about myself and my family that I had somehow buried since childhood. It not only revealed a deep truth about me and my family, but it allowed me to continue with truth in my life. Not only that, but for the first time in my life, I felt some kind of presence if you will, a higher presence that some would call religious. I felt connected to the world around me in a way I had never felt before. I will forever be grateful to that experience and wish more people could have something similar, I think it could genuinely help a lot of people in ways they don't even realize.

What I would give to be able to reset my brain and clear it of the irrational fear I have of just so many things... Fears that I don't even understand fully why it happens, just that I feel its to do with how my brain decided to rewire itself due to past trauma. If you could hit the reset button on all that, imagine the years not wasted trying to rewire the brain, and instead just hit reset and start fresh! Quality of life improvement, hell yeah!

    Measured approach is always the way to go. Establishing widespread public policies on something that's not fully understood based on fear is wrong on so many levels. Cleo did an awesome job to articulate this: that it stifled decades of what would've been meaningful research. But better late than never. I have been dealing with anxiety my entire life and I honestly want to try psilocybin to treat this condition. I've tried everything from meditation, anti-anxiety meds, exercising, etc., but I'm still dealing with anxiety. More manageable yes, but the ever present, underlying feeling of anxiety sucks.
    Anyway, great video Cleo. I honestly get inspired by how you and your team present the information.

      Psilocybin is definitely worth trying! It may not cure your anxiety, but it can greatly help. LSD can also be very helpful, it's a more intense trip that can get incredibly emotional, but I've always found it beneficial. The most important thing is to remember that the hallucinations are temporary (it's good to write down the dose and the time at which you took them as a reminder), and also don't do psychedelics around strangers or people that don't approve of it, they can absolutely ruin the whole thing. Happy tripping!

As I matured and married, the anti-drug fervor gripped the country. A great deal of shame was doled out as parents and authority figures showed disgust towards any and all who were experimenting with Marijuana or mushrooms.
    I am in my early 70's now and have been plagued by clinical depression most of my life. I have found some relief through my faith, alternative medicines, and meditation techniques.

    I've taken esketamine treatments for a year, it was FDA approved in 2019 and you basicly go into a hospital to get it and stay there supervised for 2 hours.
    People with major depression are quite cynical about treatments, since the success rates after the first couple of meds you try are nearly none existent. But what I found was that (most) people really appreciated and were grateful for the effects of this one. It's not perfect and didn't make anybody a fully functioning person again, but it's really helpful.
    As far as how it feels, for me it's like meeting myself without all the negative emotions I harbored towards myself over the years. That makes room for self compassion and feeling more at ease for some days after the treatment as well.
    Despite all that it's limited, and hasn't done all I've hoped it would. After a year it didn't feel as effective as it was in the beginning, but I was also in a better place(relatively) and couldn't justify the price tag and the fact that someone on the huge waiting list could benefit from it more than I was(very limited number of spots since it takes place in a hospital). But it's been so much more effective than any treatment I've received before and made me a lot more hopeful and excited for the treatments to come once they're made widely available!

      Depressed people are cynical about everything, it's a core trait of depression. This is why psychedelics are so powerful in treating depression, they break up deeply rooted thought patterns and expand people's mind so they can see past their own cynicism. I don't think ketamine is nearly as effective as LSD or psilocybin though, just speaking from extensive experience.

      Try psilocybin or LSD. Ketamine provides dissociative relief for symptoms, but other psychedelics work almost exactly opposite. They shove your face into the ground of reality and say, “are you sure about all this?” Trips for me are never easy but they do this and unlock a lot of memories and with them comes cathartic healing.

There’s always a shaman involved and their experiences were way beyond anything you lightly dabbled in. It has helped people whom are going to die within months no longer fear death.

    Good segment. I'm happy that this area is moving forward. What's missing from this is mentioning that the toxicity, physiologically, of mushrooms, DMT and LSD is practically zero. Also the fact almost everybody( apart from the very few who should not go near them) can get benefits and new perspectives from taking these compounds. Not just the people who suffer from the maladies discussed above. If you are sound of mind and reasonably happy, we also should be able to take these things and have some fun and have our brains re-wired from time to time. These things are non-addictive!

    Ok so speaking as a person who suffers from schizoaffective disorder and I feel like she kinda just jumped over psychosis really quickly and I want to try and spread awareness on what that means and the possible risks involved with taking a psychedelic.(Disclaimer I am not a psychiatrist I am working on it and right now this is my main area of expertise just based on experience with my disorder and with programs dealing with the family of disorders) So first off is how psychotic episodes and psychosis are onset. The way I’ve been taught about it is that your likely hood to get psychosis is like a bucket it gets filled by trauma and distress, negative emotions, once that bucket overflows is when we get psychosis. Some people are more likely to get psychosis and they start with some stuff in their bucket like family history of psychosis and brain injuries. The way I understand it is that psychedelics are a change in the brain that can cause more stuff to be put into the bucket that can fill you over the edge and onset psychosis which can last from a week to a month to your whole life. Drug induced psychosis is a whole thing and I feel like it deserves more than just a short sentence because it’s not fun it’s really scary. I also think that it scares me how little the general population know about psychosis, it isn’t all about schizophrenia it’s a spectrum like other mental illnesses and I would love to see her do a whole episode on it just so more people can understand it although I’m not sure if it fits her style. Sorry for such a long comment I just feel that people should understand the risks at play when you take a psychedelic and to try and help educate on something that is a part of me. Ask me questions if you have them.

Having some experience with psychedelics in my youth, one of the biggest problems and what drives a lot of the negativity toward them, is that on the street, you don't really know what you're getting. There can be contamination. Mixing the drug with other drugs. You don't really know the dose you're taking.It's a free-for-all. And honestly some people just can't handle them. It's too strange. With regulated purity, dosing and in some cases supervision, I can see how psychedelics could be very therapeutic.

    I would also like to say that compared to the modalities currently available for many of these disorders, Psychedelics comparatively are:
    1) Cheaper
    2) Safer
    3) More reliably effective in a shorter time span
    4) have longer-lasting effects (Mushrooms show antidepressant effects for up to 6mos.)
    In the case of major depression in particular, the science on SSRIs isn't really necessarily all that much more solid than what you mentioned in the video. The current hypothesis for their actual functioning is linked to neurogenesis but it is still entirely theoretical.
    (The horrible pop-psychology lie that levels of dopamine/serotonin are linked to depressive states is totally bunk from that simplistic of a level. These chemicals play a part but scientists do not know exactly why. There is no "normal" dopamine level per person.)
    On top of that, these drugs take up to 4-6 weeks to work and often require a balancing drug of a different kind to ensure that the patient functions. The drugs also have marked side effects when coming onto them and marked side effects when withdrawing from them (ironically, increased suicidality in both cases).
    I hate to be that hippie, but the fact that SSRIs are prescribed at the scale they are and are treated as well-researched healing modalities when they are anything but is one of the great tragedies of the war on drugs.
    Walking outside for 20-30minutes a day has the same efficacy as Prozac. Just saying.
    (Not advocating them for patients with clear demonstrated histories of mental disorders as well but that goes without saying).

    • @pilspolitie171

      Psychedelics don't really make you see things, they aren't hallucinogens. I mean, it is possible with high doses to see things that aren't there but when you would normally take them, it doesn't work like that. You just see the world in a different type of way like you see it with some kind of filter and things move. It's because your brain is working overtime you can see your thoughts, but you don't actually see them. It's really hard to explain to someone who doesn't know what you're talking about. But besides that, you can most definitely start seeing shit with mdma too. Mdma can most definitely be a psychedelic experience. When you've taken a lot of mdma it's also like thinking you're seeing something but not actually seeing something, just because you are in a wild state of mind. A friend of mine once went outside on mdma at a party to take a piss. He was pissing against a tree and he thought he saw a themepark character just standing there, but not like in a scary way or anything. But it wasn't like he actually saw the guy standing there, it's like when you think you see something in the corner of your eye when you're sober, but when you look back it isn't there. Sometimes when you're tripping hard on some psychedelic substance, you can actually see the things you think you see. It's because the filter you get on your sight from tripping and things moving, being cranked up to the extreme, which makes your vision so wild that even though you can see what's originally supposed to be there in your line of sight, it looks like something else. Things morph into other things which makes it possible to actually see things that aren't there. But this isn't something that happens when you want to try a substance and you just take a light dose. The inventor of lsd actually accidentally gave himself such a high dose that he had no more normal vision. His sight was so distorted because he took like a 1000 times the normal dose (yes this is possible because you can't die from lsd alone) and he just saw things that weren't there to see to begin with. He was technically blind because to him it was like he was peeking into another universe or something. I hope you learned something from my explanation and I'm glad to clear things up.
      By the way: the different mindset you get from mdma or magic mushrooms or other psychedelics is the biggest thing about the experience. I get that if you normally hate social interactions, that it is really weird but really amazing that you can have such a great time when you're on mdma. It has a great effect on you and even when you're sober again, you learn things about yourself and life from the experience itself. I really hope you've taken some things from your mdma experience to cherish that maybe give you a more positive outlook on things. Besides that, I think you would also really enjoy something like 2cb or magic truffles sometime in your life. It's a great experience and not that extreme like you would first think it to be

    As someone who has had direct experience, I wouldn't recommend psychedelics be used recreationally, but I would recommend them be used therapeutically.

However, for recreation, it can be a disaster in the wrong set and setting. It should be used as medicine only.
    Edited to add: I actually prefer to call them "entheogens", because the meaning of that word is more closely related to the experience of these drugs, and it is "generating the divine within". Once you've had a heroic dose of psilocybin, you'll know what that means to the depth of your core.

    Been doing psylocibin weekly for a year and it's cured my depression, managed my bipolar disorder to the point where my baseline off meds is better than any other point on or off meds; my anxiety has gone from regularly shaking my legs to not being able to remember the last time I had restless legs keep me up. There've been some other effects including restored hearing which helped me (as a singer) begin singing better. My ability to visualize things has skyrocketted, I calculate math using weird visuals but it allows me to do larger calculations in my head than what I could do before. I've developed better balance, I used to veer to the sides when I'd walk straight but now my body walks in a way that just feels like it makes sense and I keep better footing as a result. 7/8 would recommend

    I'm fairly certain most of the bad after effects people get from MDMA, like awful comedowns, Tuesday blues etc. are from the impurities. Once had access to pure high grade MDMA in the 90's and it was a totally different experience from the usual stuff I could get, no awful comedowns, no bad week days. The main effect was also much nicer and very therapeutic. After I used it for about six weekends in a row I was fine, it just got less and less effective each weekend. Like to see some trials with lab grade stuff testing to see what after effects people got over a number of weeks.

      With the purer stuff in the 80s, the come down was just heartbreaking. "I love you so much and...oh no...I'm coming down!" A friend took the same dose as his buddies, but he had to go to hospital for huge serotonin loss. He still takes zoloft to mitigate the mdma effect.

    I will never forget my first breakthrough experience with DMT. It cannot really be described with words because in this state of consciousness the concept of language does not exist. It is also not possible to imagine these many dimensions because our ability to imagine in everyday consciousness is limited to 3 dimensions. I'll try to describe my experience as best I can. I smoked 50mg of DMT. I flew through a multi-dimensional fractal tunnel at the speed of light and as I did, my ego dissolved more and more. At that moment I thought I was about to die. I had already “forgotten” about the DMT. Then, from one moment to the next, my ego completely disappeared and I was “there.” It somehow felt like I had just woken up and my entire life, including my ego, had just been a dream that would immediately fade. It felt totally familiar and like I had always been “there.” I had absolutely no thoughts in this state of consciousness. I let everything happen without judging anything. I was everything and nothing at the same time. I was one with the universe. I was the universe. Absolute nonduality. Just pure being. While I was in this multi-dimensional "space" and "saw" highly complex, constantly changing fractals in all dimensions, I simultaneously looked right into the face of God. And then, in the final twist, I realized it's a mirror. Eventually, I slowly came back into my body and ego and couldn't believe what I had just experienced. This completely changed my idea of ​​God. Before this experience I was an atheist. That was the most profound experience of my life.

      ​@@kylecarter1599 I know but the respect and reverence should be essentially boundless. The fear should be minimal but probably still there if your methodologies and dosing are sufficient. Good or bad, heavyweight psychedelics like LSD, Psilocybin Mushrooms, Ayahuasca, and Ibogaine are still formidable even when they're a blast. But something like Ibogaine supposedly never being a blast, or even tolerable during most of it. And Ayahuasca is so unpredictable. And with LSD, synchronicity goes so mad that the environment has to be so controlled but even this seems impossible to eliminate, only tune down and mitigate. Like you will look at the clock to see just randomly what time it is and it will not only be exactly midnight, not only exactly a start of a new week, but even a new month. Or storms will come out of nowhere, or unforgettable encounters with the weirdest people you've ever met or will ever meet in the weirdest situations and you just become all surreally twisted-out. That’s my theory on Acid at least.
      Regardless of psychedelics amazingly strong transducing of synchronistic phenomena even in the physical world, especially LSD. In many ways the emotio-cognitively, 'walking on egg-shells', hyperdimensional, meta-moralistic vulnerability-floodgates of the numinous tryptamine (especially base-tryptamine) compounds make almost even the extreme passivity of Nightshade-Datura related states seem preferable. When you get into high/strong dose areas of even oral hashish, let alone Ibogaine or Datura, Brugmansia, etc. You get into ascetic territory. Ordeal; a classic ascetic theme. Self-mortification for anthropic dignity. And this is a big thing with ayahuasca too; is not only purging but 'pain'. The "drama and pain" and nobility of life and death, social tension and struggle, health and disease, the Earth, animals and plants, etc.
      And psilocybin counters this theme of pain with ayahuasca with its own archetype of fear. Of unnerving, dark, jaw-dropping, uncannily creepy, emotional repulsion to the darkly ambiguous and emotionally shuddering, madhouse implicative psychological sensations of horrifying *unknowingness* or even abject terror and emotive fright. At least when invited that is. Especially with the psilocybe semilanceata species supposedly. Fresh (as in non-dried) psilocybe cubensis always made me feel more heavy and gave sort of a stronger, more self-exploratory experience. And I find psilocybin overall; to usually instead be pretty extrospective and outer-space oriented which is interesting because all of the others seem to have mostly, or even exclusively (such as mescaline) terrestrial motifs whereas the psilocybe mushrooms give off this whole.. idiosyncratic, quirky, zany, Irish, eerie, Mag Mell, elfin/fae, gnomic vibe but also blended and overlapping (or even predominated) by this really unconventional, kind of futuristic, galactarian, sci-fi, dramatic, Wagnerian, hortatory, species-based, destiny-based, humanitarian, transdimensionally tele-communicational, extraterrestrial, bio-technical life-force that is some kind of high-throughput, information and 'teaching' system that is more focused on knowledge and learning than ‘healing'. And it's so esoterically functional, overtly theologically and epistemically-charged, and with such preeminence, that I think we now quite visibly deserve a new spiritual signifier for the classical, (semi-lost) Western Esotericism tradition so as to make these epistemological and/or spiritual disciplines more focal and central in the western mind and culture. And just something to replace the idealist, neo-Tibetan, LSD/Cannabis-based, hippie-esque, New-Age movement and the 'Eastern mysticism' tropes or Huxley-esque echoes of the late 1960s and early 70s that still dominate much of the psychedelic and entheogenic world still.
      Right now we're heading back into the psychotherapeutic induction of these things and while they certainly are therapeutic in unparalleled ways and at many levels, they also are higher-dimensional mathematical operands perturbing (or retracting back) your conscious subjective state of awareness into higher mathematical spatial topological areas. In other words; math's way of saying "higher reality". This of course not at all being unusual for an information system with conductive nodes and wiring and semiconductors all running on electromagnetism; which is our brains and neural networks. That's also digital computers. Well we do this higher computational spatial-dimension stuff with normal digital computers all the time. It doesn't explain the phenomena of subjectivity, but it does shed light on the mere mathematical modalities of the apparent controversial topic or headline of "higher-dimensional perception", because it's just a functional operation in mathematical topology. A precise, molecularly-structured specific surface-binding, agnostic action affecting the conductivity of certain associated synapses resulting in a Euclidian manifold-related quantum-field phenomena. The same type of quantum-mathematical phenomena as those observed experimentally, and even just mundanely with computers, as well as with the regular functionalities or interactions happening at the nanoscale or subatomic (especially electron-level) scale in general; which these neuronal "drug" activities are occurring at in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, the mind is not a physical extension of the cells, atoms or particles in the cytoarchitectural recesses, but rather an electromagnetic radio waveform traversing from a higher-spatial source simply down into three-dimensional biogenic, organic nervous tissue; so that such an entity living in three-dimensional mathematical planes of existence can therefore experience itself through sentience. Well, like an information system with computational 'qualities', the electrical activity of cell-surface neuronal phenomena interfacing with the drug molecules at the bond site seems to inadvertently create a mathematic and computational operation. And in that higher, mathematical, topological space or manifold; you meet non-personally conscious nor unconsciously-related, but rather separate, higher intelligences or beings. And you are simultaneously bombarded with all kinds of other effects and feelings of course. But the 'thing' always has these strong intentional tones and harshly anti-reductive messages about metaphysics and this reflection on ‘magic’ and Otherness. And a simian-concentrated strong sense of epistemic humility in psilocybin’s case. Then there's the reoccurring, thematic, archetypal, motif-like nature of the trip that is sort of forefront, but also somewhat in the background; like the things I mentioned earlier about psilocybin or a bit with ayahuasca. But so they are a shamanic function. Arguably a divinatory one. We wont understand this stuff with just secular, non-scenic or non-phenomenologically proximate interventions, or even dissecting of the anterior cingular cortex.
      Probably wont at least be until fully-realized quantum computing comes around that such temporally polynomial-destroying formulas for consciousness and its quantum-prone, electrodynamic, mathematical-spatially-spastic abilities are finally computed and accepted. And/or insight into the mechanistic dynamics of how the bonding of these drug molecules really work, or what these plants, fungi, lichen or even oozy toad-secretions within the biome are actually trying to tell us. When you meet enough psychonauts/travelers and discern the archetypes, it becomes more or less apparent, albeit still open-ended what the “messaging” is all about. I'm not sure if we can contemporarily, as Westerners however; come to accept the 'message' of say, the antimuscarinic Nightshades like Datura in the way the West did in Ancient Greece, during Mycenaean and Hellenistic times. Not necessarily at the mystery rites at Eleusis (Elefsina); but certainly with the Maenads of Thrace, as well as the Delphic Oracle of Apollo. Maybe we can't socioculturally afford the maenadic, Occult-like, chthonic, witchy, sacral, dementing, lunar, bloody, morbid, malicious, herbalist, superstitious and empowering message imparted by the tropane-containing nightshade entheogens such as datura. Even though their conveyed theme of 'empowerment' seems to be yet again, geared in the way of the feminine. These things bizarrely enough, seem to actually have 'target demographics'. So maybe we can’t handle Sanderson Sister-types, or even “Rose the Hat”-types. But *surely* we can't be so chicken-shit these days, as moderns that we somehow can't embrace a realist, refined, meta-Hellenism/Mycenaean, culturally distinguished, esoteric but still spiritual and dignified form or hybrid-ontology of psychedelic, ritual plant-shamanism. Or at least a "biogenic shamanism/esotericism." But either way; theology, or ritual or merely tradition through nature, not scripture. And also not through 17th-century, dogmatic, purely faith-driven, Cartesian materialism/physicalism. Which is practically just another ideologically-unwavering religion posing as "philosophy". Such cultish philosophies have nothing to do with science, yet it's co-opted many or most of its authorities to the point of befuddlement and regression. The only method, the only *thing* that will be there when you strip it all away (the societies, architecture, culture, literature, worldvews) is going to be nature.

    I have complex PTSD and over a decade of traditional therapy did nothing for me. EMDR helped some, but it was also too destabilizing when it came to trying to work through my heavier traumas, and so I had to stop to avoid getting retrauamtized. I suspect I would benefit greatly from MDMA assisted therapy, as the main struggle for me is getting my nervous system into a regulated state where I'm able to feel safe, particularly when I'm around other people. It's that nervous system regulation and sense of safety that allows traumatic memories to be reprocessed, so if you can't access that, you get stuck unable to process the trauma, and continually subjected to reliving it every time you're triggered. My best hope for now is getting into a clinical trial for MDMA, but I'm not in the US, and I don't know if it will actually happen, as the study I was hoping to get into which was supposed to be recruiting this year disappeared off the list of studies, so I don't know if it was canceled or what. All I can do is hope and keep trying everything under the sun. This condition is so debilitating, and so so hard to treat. The sooner we can get effective treatments the better.

      Sounds like you started at step 3 when 1 & 2 might be a big help (at least they’ve helped me). Andrew Huberman is a brain/nervous system scientist & tenured prof who has a YT channel independent of university restrictions on evolving matters like the transition underway from the drug war to helping folks. His videos cover basic brain-body stuff like -
      - no detectable brain evolution has taken place in the short 10k yrs of humans’ plantation agriculture (our brains evolved entirely when we lived in nature; physical danger was as critical as eating & surviving the elements);
      - stabilizing my circa-dian (around a day) rhythm (amazing story of colors, time of day, and how they affect the different eye-brain pathways that sync our sleep-wake patterns to nature’s rhythm);
      - understanding the brain-gut connection, the importance of a healthy gut biome to avoid immune system dysfunction (eg, get of all refined sugars & not eating SAD, the “standard American diet”);
      - and understanding each half of our nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system that chemically handles danger thru release of eg, cortisol, and tends to over-react to civilizational stresses, and the parasympathetic nervous system that enables meditation, daydreaming & “chilling-out”; and
      - developing the recognition skills that let us avoid dys-regulation of our emotions.
      (I don’t mean this to be a lecture; it’s writing practice & a way of putting into writing what I hear & see to better understand new ideas.)
      I became motivated to write here by your describing how your had to stop therapy when encountering heavier traumas. In the process of learning some fundamentals as I’ve described above, I ended up getting a lot more benefit from therapy as I work on it w/ a healthier body-mind that’s given me confidence to talk about some things I’d been avoiding before. After some screen-shots & subscribing, I’m done for now. Good luck to you. 😊

      MDMA is exactly what you’re looking for. It breaks all barriers of communication down and allows love to flow through yourself.

It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright.
