I was addicted to drugs and cigarettes before, and one day at my lowest I took mushrooms by myself, and sat there meditating while chanting I don’t want to be addicted anymore over and over. I went cold turkey since then, and it has been 3 years now.
Aaron Burton no joke I did drugs daily for more than a dozen years. After going cold turkey I have no cravings. I have noticed just being around drugs gives me anxiety and I don’t enjoy it. I feel like there’s something subconscious going on here, or it could all be placebo haha. Mind over matter.
i just got that experience 3 days before when i did MM first time, i used to smoke 1 ounce weed in 1-2 days, and a pack cigarette day, watch netflix, play video game all day, after my mushroom trip i dont feel smoking ciggrate and weed has been reduced to 2-3 gram/day from other day suddenly, i feel like my body is coming to right alignment ,i know whats right and wrong,i felt what is it to be other species, i felt whats actually my purpose as a human us, my body wanna eat natural food only, no meat, egg, milk, cooked food, processed food etc only fruits and vegetable, i was taking 2k+/day calories but now i am feeling satisfieed with 500-600 calorie everyday, i feel humble , calm, composed ,wiser than 3 days before, i didnt watch netflix and all matrialistic songs from last 3 days, dont feel like to watch, i only wanna learn new stuffs and im doing though books and internet now.

I have something to say about Mr Paul Stamets We were wiped out by the CA wild fire. We had lost all of the books we purchased that were published by Paul about mushrooms in the fire. He was gracious enough to replace all of them and donate two kilos of spores to help with our remediation of the land. THANKS4GIVING PAUL. Thanks for all the hard work and research on that branch of our family, shrooms. Your awesome PAUL
Northern CA resident here. I was lucky to get missed by the fires but know many who were devastated by them like yourself. I've heard a few stories like this of people replacing lost possessions and donating or offering help to complete strangers, it's what we need more of in this world. Best wishes to you in your rebuild!
TBH i don't think that line is correct. Think about all the depressed mussicians, painters and poets that have made master class art. I mean just a hand full are Kurt Cobain, Vincent van Gogh, Syd Barrett, Cody from Cody's Lab and Thom York.
Ohhh now i see where your mushroom inspiration came from. This guy got me into it too a few years back, i use my own technique to get sterile samples for growing mycelium. I made a cheap glove box, then i just dip the knife in alcohol without wiping it on anything, getting sterile stuff from inside the stem of course. The alcohol is normally dried off because it kills it i believe, but i found that it doesnt kill it completely. This way you risk less contaminants, of which i had o issues with. just drop it on some agar and youre good. There's sterile rye berry jars for sale online. I grew pink oyster mushrooms that way. Pleurotus djamor, probably spelling that wrong.
I remember this changing my perspective in 2018. Coming back to visit this 6 years later, highly needed to rejuvenate all the knowledge and wisdom. These conversations are powerful.
This dude is extremely well spoken and able to communicate long and complex stories in a way that is impressive for anyone, let alone someone who used to have a stutter. Very cool.
hes not well spoken. he uses a lot of words incorrectly, out of order and contradicts himself may times over in his stories. The stories aren't complex. There's really nothing here. He tries to make them complex so you don't realize there is no real story here because he hasn't accomplished anything. He blames his unnecessary use of vocabulary as a way to help with his stutter
Been taking Lions Mane for one week. I discovered a benign brain tumor 4 years ago. It has caused Neuro degenerative and cognitive problems. This podcast quite literally saved my life. I started taking Lion's mane and wow. I feel like before my first seizure. At the 44 minute mark or so Paul talks about it. I may have beaten this horrible albatross on my brain. As I type I tear up. I'm a 30 year old man and I thought I was doomed forever to a life of unhappiness. Thank you for spreading your wisdom. As a JRE fan I'd love to talk about it sometime if given an invite with Paul even though I'm an average guy. Thank you to JRE for bringing these guests on. This one without any sort of exaggeration could have saved my life. I suffer from brain tumor, memory issues, GAD,PTSD (non combat),and epilepsy. All of these things are invisible and I suffer because I look pretty normal and even healthy for 30 years old. This man is a good man and I learned a lot from this podcast. Thank you Paul, Thank you Joe.
adamgm84 Still have some partial seizures but overall a healthy mix of Lion's Mane, GABA, L-tryptophan, cannabis, exercise 2 to 3x a week and a diet with proteins and veggies seems to be the key for me. Still have day to day issues but this allows me to manually manipulate my neurotransmitters. Hope this helps anyone that's at their bottom from a Neuro degenerative condition. It's possible to recover. I'm no doctor just a good student and willing guinea pig to myself.
Billig Jones i use Host Defence drops and capsules. The immune support which has about 10 different mushroom varieties, Amazing and supports Paul's work !
1:45:00 Portobello mushrooms contain a large amount of agaritine, which can be made in to hydrazine. Two parts hydrazine mixed with one part NH4NO3, creates a powerful chemical explosive, making this a National Security Issue. Paul’s hint was when he referred to this as an “Explosive Issue”.
While there is some truth to the chemical properties mentioned, the statement exaggerates the practicality and immediacy of turning portobello mushrooms into a security threat: Portobello mushrooms, like many other types of mushrooms, do contain a naturally occurring compound called agaritine. Agaritine is a hydrazine derivative, which means it has a chemical structure related to hydrazine. Hydrazine Production: Hydrazine is a compound that can be synthesized and has uses in industrial and aerospace applications. However, converting agaritine from mushrooms into hydrazine is not a straightforward or practical process for individuals without advanced chemical knowledge and equipment. Chemical Explosives: Hydrazine can be used as a component in various chemical reactions, including those that produce explosives. Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is also known to be used in explosives. However, the specific mixture and process to create a powerful explosive from these chemicals require precise conditions and handling, making it highly dangerous and impractical for casual or unauthorized use. It is more likely that he is referring to agartine’s reputation as being carcinogenic as he has been on record stating such concerns.
Joe's face at 38:46 cracks me up every single time, just the way Paul is deep into explaining his story and it just silently cuts to Joe's flabbergasted expression lmao
IKR just watched it and still trying to wrap my brain around some of the shit!!! Think I found some shrooms in my backyard so been doing a shit ton(no pun intended) and came across this and man glad I watched!!! Big fan of the JRE as it is hope Joe don’t get censored over there but pretty sure he won’t let that happen I hope!!!
As a physician…. It’s grotesque that we haven’t already been using this for patients. Our current system is failing people. Labeling mental diversity as illness with no real solutions except for medications…. Most of which are not understood and have numerous consequences for those who take it. I’m ready for change. Who else?
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.. THE POISON DEVIL SHROOMS HAVE TAKEN HOLD OF HIM AND IS USING HIM AS AN AMBASSADOR TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO EATING MUSHROOMS TO KILL OFF THE HUMAN RACE AND RULE THE EARTH ONCE MORE
never in my life did i think i would listen to another human talk about mushrooms for 2 hours. I was glued to the screen paul seems like a fungi. he reallly grew on me!
I would just like to remind everyone that Paul also helped isolate a certain variety of oyster mushrooms that actually *eat waste petroleum/oil and metabolize them into harmless compounds.* When he says fungi can save the world, he's entirely serious. I only wish he was a household name. Him saving the bees would be a greater accomplishment than Edison's improved lightbulb. People could eat dinner by candlelight. People can starve to death with the lights on though.
@sasuke uchiha he's been getting shit faced as of late, yeah? He was hammered and acting like he didn't give a shit about anything on kill tony and one of the newest flagrant podcasts. Haven't seen this shit faced Rogan since the OLD fight companion episodes. Lol
I love JRE Podcasts, but this, this right here is what I live for. These are the interviews that keep me coming back. Now excuse me while I go lay down for awhile.
It's such a tragedy that nobody knows about this path! I never thought a person could have such a huge amount of wisdom! What a blast! Thank you so much Paul Stamets for the input.
@@eisenwerks6388 You should know that you cannot combine those two. They take you into incompatible universes. At least that is what John C. Lilly said.
I turned 70 yesterday, I too had a similar tree in the wind experience back in 1971. Paul you give me hope, true, pure, deep hope. Thank you for that gift. Keep up your most important work.
I feel like Joe Rogan really held his own with some damn good questions in this interview. Thanks for letting this guy talk his head off and just being on point for the podcast.
@@eachday9538 I heard they had to do it ten times... . The story of stuttering was fake.. What happened is that after 9 takes Joe beat the crap AND the stuttering out of Paul....
I noticed that also. I think there are studies that when people are using a lot of effort in their thought process they blink less. Their pupils dilate larger as well when their brain is putting out the effort. However, it is not clear how much effort he is actually manufacturing because many of these points have been made by him over the years in various forums, etc.
@@silverhopeful it probably has more to do with the fact that during active thought/conversation you are rapidly moving your eyes which keeps them moist and that's why you have less need to blink.
My son was a student of Paul's and has been swearing about his studies and analysis of "all things fungal" for decades. After watching this, video,.I wanna be a student as well. Thanks to all for producing this. It may very well save our planet.
Started microdosing after i watched this podcast 2 years ago. Now i also take a a variety of mushrooms. Helped me quit smoking weed, helped me manage my autism and so much more. Thanks Paul! Your insights changed my life for the good!
Have you tried Lions Mane? I read that it had many positive effects and was consider trying it until i came across a subreddit named LionsManeRecovery, where people describe extreme depression and anxiety after daily usage of supplements containing LM. Thanks in advice for the feedback!
Jeff Maylor hahahaha slap yourself. what a closed minded moron hahaha. you are fucking laughable. p.s. your mom has your sandwich waiting upstairs young man
Jeff, you sound like the type of ignorant guy that really needs a mushroom trip. Please dont make moronic claims like that, psilocybin mushrooms are one of the safest substances one can ingest.
After watching this again I want to declare a standing ovation. Bring back Paul for round 2. Id love to see where he's at in life, along with Joe's journey so far with all the people he's talked with and knowledge obtained... it has to happen
@@MrXennon1 now you mention i think I do remember that. Was he on with a other guest I think his brother? And do you know the episode number? I could always look it upni guess but thank you for the info
One of my absolutely favorite JRE episodes. Paul Stamets is effortlessly intelligent and expressive about mushrooms in a wide variety of topics about the subject. I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. Joe must have Paul on again soon !
Amazing that someone who has a stutter can speak so eloquently, no Ums, no pauses, amazing vocabulary. This man knows things we don’t and he’s out here to share them. It’s clear. He could be making millions and millions and be monopolising this medicinal mushroom market. However, he’s shared HOW to extract it yourself, he’s allowed you to grow it. This man is here to help us, we should listen to him
tstoneami It’s his business and at the end of the day he needs to make sure it’s sustainable. When a guest is doing a good job he lets them sustain it by sometimes I feel he will cut people off but I don’t think it’s with the malicious intent some people think he does it with.
This is amazing. I realize this podcast is several years old, but I just watched it for the first time and it solidified something for me that I’ve been wondering about for a couple of years but only just now has become absolutely concrete for me while watching this episode. A couple of years ago, I tried psilocybin for the first time. I consumed three full albino penis envy mushrooms one day while I was at home. My experience lasted about seven hours, but peaked at around three hours in. One of the most profound experiences I had during that session was while I was sitting on the toilet, looking down at my tile floor, I observed this extremely vivid, yet shifting, elaborate black and gray filigree pattern on the tile floor. My tiles were plain white with no patterns whatsoever yet I could see this elaborate smoky black filigree pattern all over the tile floor. I also noticed a dark gray shifting smoke that seemed to be, coming up from under the bathroom door as I looked toward the door while I was sitting on the toilet. In the moment I couldn’t figure out how or why I was seeing this hallucination, or at least what I thought at the time was a hallucination. Another thing I experienced while sitting at my dining room table looking down at my hardwood floors, it seemed as if the surface of my hardwood floors was merely the surface of a vast and deep pool. I felt like if I were to dive into the floor I could have literally dove through the floor swimming down into the floor. It’s very hard to describe, but basically I could see that the floor had extreme depth and I had never seen anything like that before. The next day when I was completely sober and sitting on the toilet again, I looked down at the floor and remembered the experience and then decided to get down on my hands and knees with my face really close to the floor, and I noticed something profound. The tiles of my floor had an ever so slight texture that I had never noticed before and upon extremely close examination, I discovered that there was a slight buildup of dirt in the crevices and valleys of the texture on the surface of the tiles because I hadn’t mopped the floor in a couple of weeks. I noticed that the filigree pattern I was observing during my psilocybin experience was that I was observing the extremely light amount of dirt trapped in the tiny crevices of the barely noticeable texture of the tile floor. I understood at that moment that what was happening during my trip was that my visual, acuity and depth perception were enhanced significantly, that I was literally seeing like I had Superman vision. Upon getting down really close to the bottom of the bathroom door, I noticed that what I observed as shifting, dark gray smoke coming up from from under the bottom of the bathroom door was an imperceptible, minute amount of dust that had collected on the bottom, half of the surface of the door. During normal consciousness, this extremely light layer of dust was completely imperceptible, but while experiencing psilocybin, my vision was enhanced so significantly that the fine layer of dust stood out in stark contrast to the beige background of the door like a sore thumb. For the past couple of years, I’ve been wondering if the whole experience was just all inside my head, but after hearing the guest’s story about the gentleman who could hear the ants walking on the deck during his experience, absolutely confirmed for me that what I experienced was real visual acuity enhancement. It was an amazing experience.
I don't think I've witness Joe being so silent in ANY other interview as he is listening to Paul talk. It's fascinating stuff and a real solution to so many of the issues caused by man.
Just watched this and got into this subject for the first time, I don't yet know its extent, but I do already know this has changed my life forever. Thank you Paul.
For anyone wondering @1:44:00 when Paul comments oddly about the Portobello mushrooms. He is doing so because Portobello mushrooms contain hydrazine agaritine which is a known carcinogen that has caused cancer and tumor growth in the lab. This is a highly controversial subject and Paul probably does not want to create a media frenzy which could have a hugely negative affect on his livelihood and the publics perception of mushrooms. He is basically the voice for mycologists and has the potential to harm societies perception of mushrooms heavily. A lot of hard work goes into getting the legislation loose enough for scientists to really study these mycotoxins and more negative press could make it even harder..
Hmm not sure about this explanation. He's explained this many times before openly about various kinds of commercial mushrooms and there's no secret, just look it up. However this silent refrain is for me at least pointing towards something far more nefarious..
Dude this was absolutely mind blowing and mind opening. I think I'm addicted to joe rogan interviewing people like this. Psilocybin, extra dimensional experiences, neurogenesis... Damn thats some good shit.
You left out a part...struck by lightning. He blames the loss of the stutter on shrooms but here this whole time he just simply got it zapped out of him. They actually used to use electroshock therapy to cure stuttering back in the day. XD
@1:44:50 This conversation became tense but they handled it with such respect. Nice to see that there is a respectful way of refusing to answer a question and accepting Paul's wishes by Joe.
@@prentfaiyaz If you dont see the problem..well sorry but you have to less knowledge. Knowledge can safe lifes and help humans to understand ourself and the universe. Less wars, less death humans, less natur destoyd..and you ask really for what?? Open your dam eyes and use your brain, maybe for the first time in your life..the reason we humans make again and again the same mistake is cuz a lot of knowledge is hidden❤ love from switzerland
12:20 "You're telling me nature is not intelligent, and yet you are born of nature using the mind to conceive the concept to challenge the idea that nature is not intelligent, when you are part of nature?"
When this episode aired i knew nothing about mushrooms except the common misconceptions. Two years later and I'm obsessed with them. I never thought this episode would be such a turning point in my interests.
same! i found a lion's mane mushroom within 2 days of seeing this episode, i forget before or after, had my mind blown by its alzheimer's benefits, and my mind blown a second time by finding it so serendipitously. I run a twitter profile for mushroom photos and IDs now lol. People act like it's hard to learn one mushroom from the next, but I didn't even see this episode when it aired, i watched it almost exactly a year ago.
Since you guys been learning about mushrooms what do you know about the Portobello shrom ? No one is talking about it on the comments..he said his life would be in danger, why?
@@goHAMallday1 from what i can find people are talking mostly about cancer, some people actually say he means explosive literaly and they are used for making bombs. But cancer is probably the theory becose of the economics, portobello and button shroms are by far the most sold worldwide. Now im wondering if i can still put shroms on my pizza xD people say they are safe or safer if you cook them in high temperature, so my pizza is safe i hope
This is one of the most rewarding and fascinating podcasts/videos I have ever found. Brilliant and inspiring. Deep thanks to both Joe Rogan and Paul Stamets.
I've watched hundreds of hours of your content Joe and this guy tops Jordan Peterson, Duncan Trussell, Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock. This man is the only one to have drawn my curiosity toward a degree to this magnitude ever since I had done it once before almost 17 years ago. This guy is the living embodiment of purpose.
Me and some buddy’s did shrooms together, and it felt as if we were communicating in a weird way, we had other friends there who were being loud and obnoxious but we were talking normally through all the noise. Weirdest experience ever
Fan of JRE for a long time but only watched clips. This was the first full show I have watched in one sitting. Mind blowing and thank you Paul Staments for the work you do. I will be diving head first in to so much more of Paul’s work. Truly inspiring
Rewatching this again to marvel. The first time I watched this it gave me the confidence to try psychedelics and it has completely changed my mindset on life. A magical experience! Thank you Paul
Thanks to Paul I discovered that chaga tea feeding my plants will deter bugs and animals . Also nutrition and micro diversity in garden. I also diluted in spray bottle
I agree. Must anticipation for this to come out! I reccomeded paul on a pole from joe rogans website. Happy it got through! Paul is a local idle of mine!
Check out the Gus and Eddy podcast, it's up there too, 500k subscribers and they get sponsored to eat as much chicken as they can, I think Eddy can eat more, probably three or four whole chickens.
I’ve Had 2 bad trips but I still took them for a lil while, & all my other trips were good. I always say just cause u have a couple bad trips, doesn’t make the whole experience bad, ya know. Learn from it & countinue living.
"You are telling me nature is not intelligent , and yet you are born of nature using the mind to conceive the concept to challenge the idea that nature is not intelligent, when you are part of nature?" -Paul Stamets Absolutely beautifully said.
not to mention that a collection of particles can come together and somehow activate concious experience, which is how we're even able to perceive these atoms
Different kind of party. It's just you plus nature minus other people, if you're serious. A dash of Pranayama breathing, a pinch of Solfeggios...then you're launching.
I have seen this lightning storm the first time I took k at 13 years old first drug I did. I turned into a window and watched the most incredible storm go on outside. The effect it had on the grass was incredible.
@Alexander Supertramp Yes definitely as important as this one. Exposing the war on some drugs and bringing awareness to the orwellian dictators toolkit the NSA is using are both critical issues
Maybe, just maybe, the fungi he ate got into his system and its controlling all his decisions to make him dedicate his life to defend fungi and convince us humans to protect it . MAYBE
I had that kind of feeling on lsd. All of a sudden after 3 tabs one night I heard a voice say "Ohhhhhhh" "Now I am in control" "feels like I just walked into an empty store" and ive felt very different ever since, better. And lsd is made from some kind of fungus.
I have just rewatched this episode due to foraging for mushrooms recently and being reminded of how amazing they are. 5 years after originally watching this episode it was equally if not more fascinating and relevant today. I would be interested to know if he has done research with our recent global “virus crisis”. This man is absolutely amazing and his life’s work is probably one of the most beneficial scientific explorations of the last century that has far reaching benefits for future generations. SAVE THE BEES !

Ohhh now i see where your mushroom inspiration came from. This guy got me into it too a few years back, i use my own technique to get sterile samples for growing mycelium. I made a cheap glove box, then i just dip the knife in alcohol without wiping it on anything, getting sterile stuff from inside the stem of course. The alcohol is normally dried off because it kills it i believe, but i found that it doesnt kill it completely. This way you risk less contaminants, of which i had o issues with. just drop it on some agar and youre good. There's sterile rye berry jars for sale online. I grew pink oyster mushrooms that way. Pleurotus djamor, probably spelling that wrong.
I remember this changing my perspective in 2018.
Coming back to visit this 6 years later, highly needed to rejuvenate all the knowledge and wisdom. These conversations are powerful.

This dude is extremely well spoken and able to communicate long and complex stories in a way that is impressive for anyone, let alone someone who used to have a stutter. Very cool.
hes not well spoken. he uses a lot of words incorrectly, out of order and contradicts himself may times over in his stories. The stories aren't complex. There's really nothing here. He tries to make them complex so you don't realize there is no real story here because he hasn't accomplished anything. He blames his unnecessary use of vocabulary as a way to help with his stutter

Been taking Lions Mane for one week. I discovered a benign brain tumor 4 years ago. It has caused Neuro degenerative and cognitive problems. This podcast quite literally saved my life. I started taking Lion's mane and wow. I feel like before my first seizure. At the 44 minute mark or so Paul talks about it. I may have beaten this horrible albatross on my brain. As I type I tear up. I'm a 30 year old man and I thought I was doomed forever to a life of unhappiness. Thank you for spreading your wisdom. As a JRE fan I'd love to talk about it sometime if given an invite with Paul even though I'm an average guy. Thank you to JRE for bringing these guests on. This one without any sort of exaggeration could have saved my life. I suffer from brain tumor, memory issues, GAD,PTSD (non combat),and epilepsy. All of these things are invisible and I suffer because I look pretty normal and even healthy for 30 years old. This man is a good man and I learned a lot from this podcast. Thank you Paul, Thank you Joe.
Hey Kyle do you have an update on this experiment?
adamgm84 Still have some partial seizures but overall a healthy mix of Lion's Mane, GABA, L-tryptophan, cannabis, exercise 2 to 3x a week and a diet with proteins and veggies seems to be the key for me. Still have day to day issues but this allows me to manually manipulate my neurotransmitters. Hope this helps anyone that's at their bottom from a Neuro degenerative condition. It's possible to recover. I'm no doctor just a good student and willing guinea pig to myself.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing
1:45:00 Portobello mushrooms contain a large amount of agaritine, which can be made in to hydrazine. Two parts hydrazine mixed with one part NH4NO3, creates a powerful chemical explosive, making this a National Security Issue. Paul’s hint was when he referred to this as an “Explosive Issue”.
“Explosive area of conversation”
Thanks for the explanation.
Yes it makes fuel for rockets and it should never be put in a citizens hands and it is a very serious threat because people use it in the wrong way
So a simple chemical reaction that every single chemist with a phd knows about is somehow "secret knowledge"?
While there is some truth to the chemical properties mentioned, the statement exaggerates the practicality and immediacy of turning portobello mushrooms into a security threat:
Portobello mushrooms, like many other types of mushrooms, do contain a naturally occurring compound called agaritine. Agaritine is a hydrazine derivative, which means it has a chemical structure related to hydrazine.
Hydrazine Production: Hydrazine is a compound that can be synthesized and has uses in industrial and aerospace applications. However, converting agaritine from mushrooms into hydrazine is not a straightforward or practical process for individuals without advanced chemical knowledge and equipment.
Chemical Explosives: Hydrazine can be used as a component in various chemical reactions, including those that produce explosives. Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is also known to be used in explosives. However, the specific mixture and process to create a powerful explosive from these chemicals require precise conditions and handling, making it highly dangerous and impractical for casual or unauthorized use.
It is more likely that he is referring to agartine’s reputation as being carcinogenic as he has been on record stating such concerns.

This is why mainstream TV is dieing, people are sick and tired of dumbed down documentaries in favor of real experts you can learn from.
Not just documentaries everything is dumbed down on tv now, it’s for the people that just stare at a tv all day long.
Still be skeptical
Television is a product. It's a media meant to make money. Entertainment has always been second with traditional media.
If there were only as many videos on youtube as there are channels on tv, I'm sure they'd all be lowest common denominator crap too.
Aka "scripted reality".

When he says fungi can save the world, he's entirely serious. I only wish he was a household name. Him saving the bees would be a greater accomplishment than Edison's improved lightbulb. People could eat dinner by candlelight. People can starve to death with the lights on though.
Point to note, oyster mushrooms are delicious and plentiful here in the PNW.

@@alainvosselman9960 Holy shit! Literally lmao! :'D
just one of the many reasons Joe is the Best.
The reason you don't see him blink is because you are part of the same fungal network and he only blinks when you blink
I noticed that also. I think there are studies that when people are using a lot of effort in their thought process they blink less. Their pupils dilate larger as well when their brain is putting out the effort. However, it is not clear how much effort he is actually manufacturing because many of these points have been made by him over the years in various forums, etc.
That's funny.
@@silverhopeful Later in the broadcast, he starts blinking and even speaks with his eyes closed for a while. I think he's retrieving information.
@@silverhopeful it probably has more to do with the fact that during active thought/conversation you are rapidly moving your eyes which keeps them moist and that's why you have less need to blink.

Paul's awesome. A neat fact about him is that he has no academic training beyond an undergraduate degree. He's largely self taught.
Right. He’s even been given a honorary doctorate.
This is amazing. I realize this podcast is several years old, but I just watched it for the first time and it solidified something for me that I’ve been wondering about for a couple of years but only just now has become absolutely concrete for me while watching this episode.
A couple of years ago, I tried psilocybin for the first time. I consumed three full albino penis envy mushrooms one day while I was at home. My experience lasted about seven hours, but peaked at around three hours in.
One of the most profound experiences I had during that session was while I was sitting on the toilet, looking down at my tile floor, I observed this extremely vivid, yet shifting, elaborate black and gray filigree pattern on the tile floor. My tiles were plain white with no patterns whatsoever yet I could see this elaborate smoky black filigree pattern all over the tile floor. I also noticed a dark gray shifting smoke that seemed to be, coming up from under the bathroom door as I looked toward the door while I was sitting on the toilet. In the moment I couldn’t figure out how or why I was seeing this hallucination, or at least what I thought at the time was a hallucination. Another thing I experienced while sitting at my dining room table looking down at my hardwood floors, it seemed as if the surface of my hardwood floors was merely the surface of a vast and deep pool. I felt like if I were to dive into the floor I could have literally dove through the floor swimming down into the floor. It’s very hard to describe, but basically I could see that the floor had extreme depth and I had never seen anything like that before.
The next day when I was completely sober and sitting on the toilet again, I looked down at the floor and remembered the experience and then decided to get down on my hands and knees with my face really close to the floor, and I noticed something profound. The tiles of my floor had an ever so slight texture that I had never noticed before and upon extremely close examination, I discovered that there was a slight buildup of dirt in the crevices and valleys of the texture on the surface of the tiles because I hadn’t mopped the floor in a couple of weeks. I noticed that the filigree pattern I was observing during my psilocybin experience was that I was observing the extremely light amount of dirt trapped in the tiny crevices of the barely noticeable texture of the tile floor. I understood at that moment that what was happening during my trip was that my visual, acuity and depth perception were enhanced significantly, that I was literally seeing like I had Superman vision.
Upon getting down really close to the bottom of the bathroom door, I noticed that what I observed as shifting, dark gray smoke coming up from from under the bottom of the bathroom door was an imperceptible, minute amount of dust that had collected on the bottom, half of the surface of the door. During normal consciousness, this extremely light layer of dust was completely imperceptible, but while experiencing psilocybin, my vision was enhanced so significantly that the fine layer of dust stood out in stark contrast to the beige background of the door like a sore thumb.
For the past couple of years, I’ve been wondering if the whole experience was just all inside my head, but after hearing the guest’s story about the gentleman who could hear the ants walking on the deck during his experience, absolutely confirmed for me that what I experienced was real visual acuity enhancement. It was an amazing experience.
Bring him back on the show! Think about everything he’s learned in 3 years!🙌😆

For anyone wondering @1:44:00 when Paul comments oddly about the Portobello mushrooms. He is doing so because Portobello mushrooms contain hydrazine agaritine which is a known carcinogen that has caused cancer and tumor growth in the lab. This is a highly controversial subject and Paul probably does not want to create a media frenzy which could have a hugely negative affect on his livelihood and the publics perception of mushrooms. He is basically the voice for mycologists and has the potential to harm societies perception of mushrooms heavily. A lot of hard work goes into getting the legislation loose enough for scientists to really study these mycotoxins and more negative press could make it even harder..
thank you for the info!
thnks for the info
Hydrazines are also highly explosive, maybe he was being sly?
Hmm not sure about this explanation. He's explained this many times before openly about various kinds
of commercial mushrooms and there's no secret, just look it up. However this silent refrain is for me at least
pointing towards something far more nefarious..
there are truffle mafia maybe they've expanded into dealing portobello too
Dude this was absolutely mind blowing and mind opening. I think I'm addicted to joe rogan interviewing people like this. Psilocybin, extra dimensional experiences, neurogenesis... Damn thats some good shit.

Holy fuck i just laughed out loud.
You left out a part...struck by lightning. He blames the loss of the stutter on shrooms but here this whole time he just simply got it zapped out of him. They actually used to use electroshock therapy to cure stuttering back in the day. XD
Paul cleans his stutter, slay the tree and rescue the mushrooms from the underworld.
I've listened to this podcast 3 times and read the comments every time, this one wins.

@@gm4634 hit the books my man. I'm barely understanding but he is saying some serious shit
This dude is a literal wizard. I suspect he is at least 300 years old.
'Actually, its all just science. You see-' 'SILENCE, WIZARD!! GIVE ME YOUR SECRETS!!!'
LMFAO
Yeah, that story probably happened in 17th century.
In time he will become yoda
I'd say he is more like a Druid, Circle of Spores to be precise.
When you are having a conversation with a man wearing a mushroom hat you listen... learn..
*mushroom cap??? Maybe? IDK.
Lawrence Morkeberg shhh. Listen
Tomas Tomas shhh. Listen
STFU JOE ROGAYNE
Mushgay
Best episode ever! Such a good podcast! Ah Joe keep them comin brother!
Please have him back on the show.. I thoroughly enjoyed this for 2 days of driving to work.. mind .... blown...
Purrito Kitten oh my god... You can't just say that yo.
Takes you an hour to get to work.. Sucks to be you
@@seribas and back? so half and hour
He said "my brother is a super genius,way smarter than me" Damn.
He must walk around turning clocks into mirrors
Bill
That shook me 😂
he actually meant that he himself is a genius because 2mins later he tells a story of how he outwitted his supergenius brother :D
3 years later... we need a revisit with Paul. There has been legal changes that would be spur new conversations.
Spur new conversations??? More like, *spore* new conversations.
Sorry, I'll leave.
@@shipwreck9146 no please stay
@@shipwreck9146 hahaha 😆
What legal changes? I’m not very familiar with this fellow
@@michaelc2321 hes talking about the decriminalization of psychedelic mushrooms in some states probably
Rewatching this again to marvel. The first time I watched this it gave me the confidence to try psychedelics and it has completely changed my mindset on life. A magical experience! Thank you Paul
"I'm in the tallest tree during a lightning storm, I could die."
Joe: "- Or you could turn into a god."
I love this episode.
The tallest tree, tripping off an ounce of mushrooms, with vertigo in a fast approaching electrical storm WCGW

He could also die talking about portabella mushrooms.
@@Jbreeze3878 probably cause its huge in food industry so they dont wanna shut it down if its unhealthy in a long term
your comment is totally true man
What if eating the psychedelic mushrooms is how the mushrooms communicate with us.
duh
I mean...that's Terrence McKennas concept, which they mentioned.
Broken Wave I missed that.
Correct.
Fungus facilitates communication and harmony with everything that exists in nature
Talk about going DEEP! This coulda run 3hrs+ ez.. He's gotta get back on...
Adam Evans nnnn
Agreed. Bring him on for a weekly series if possible Joe. Thanks!
No kiddin my mind has been blown after this imma take the Lions Main supplement that the guest referred too
Anyone find out about portabello?
curios about this as well....
Thanks to Paul I discovered that chaga tea feeding my plants will deter bugs and animals .
Also nutrition and micro diversity in garden. I also diluted in spray bottle
Honestly this was amazing. Probably the best episode this year.
SubieSam agreed
I agree. Must anticipation for this to come out! I reccomeded paul on a pole from joe rogans website. Happy it got through! Paul is a local idle of mine!
Alex Jones
It might be better to call him a hero of yours rather than an idol. Dude really might save the world.
yep
This is such a mind-blowing episode oh my god
woah
@Harvard Mulligan good comment
Wait your here?
@Jam Pop Nation It makes no sense at all to leave such a comment under this podcast. Did you even watch it??
almost every jre tbh
Hands down the most captivating and interesting podcast I've heard.
Check out the Gus and Eddy podcast, it's up there too, 500k subscribers and they get sponsored to eat as much chicken as they can, I think Eddy can eat more, probably three or four whole chickens.
@@Will80085 Shoo.
I’ve Had 2 bad trips but I still took them for a lil while, & all my other trips were good. I always say just cause u have a couple bad trips, doesn’t make the whole experience bad, ya know. Learn from it & countinue living.
Someone please animate the 20g & tree story
ziomek!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA that was a good one bro :'D
Someone put my mind back together after this.
Why not just imagine it yourselfn
This guy's memory has so mush room.
Well done
Nice
Niiiiice 👍✌
Ahahahahhaha, nothing beats a good dad joke. Priceless!
or for short "Schroom"
"You are telling me nature is not intelligent , and yet you are born of nature using the mind to conceive the concept to challenge the idea that nature is not intelligent, when you are part of nature?" -Paul Stamets
Absolutely beautifully said.
Eh, its a pretty weak arguement. I can say atoms are not intelligent, even though I'm entirely made of atoms. I can say the same for cells as well.
@@charlesgeorge9701 Fallacy of Composition
@@charlesgeorge9701 Why did atoms decide to hold together and make/continue to make you?
@@charlesgeorge9701 idk man, the fact that atoms and particles can come together and maintain physical reality seems pretty intelligent to me
not to mention that a collection of particles can come together and somehow activate concious experience, which is how we're even able to perceive these atoms
Its 2023 and I'm here for this with bells on!
THIS MAN IS WEARING A MUSHROOM AS A HAT. Absolute hero.
Point of Parallax actually...when 1 looks closer...1 will observe the hat is wearing him.
The mushroom is wearing him.
@Shisha Einsatzkommando if you ever come to tiahuana I will give you a Chimachanga.
@@jeffron7 if you ever come to nova scotia, i'll buy you a donair
you can wear your own hat also: www.amadou.store
Paul: This is not a party drug. Let's be adults in the room.
Also Paul: I ate 20 grams and climbed a tree into an interdimensional lightning storm.
Different kind of party. It's just you plus nature minus other people, if you're serious. A dash of Pranayama breathing, a pinch of Solfeggios...then you're launching.
He didn't say _interdimensional._ He said he seen fractals and geometric shapes
I think that's exactly why...
I have seen this lightning storm the first time I took k at 13 years old first drug I did. I turned into a window and watched the most incredible storm go on outside. The effect it had on the grass was incredible.
I would love to party alone in a tree on shrooms with lightening!
Paul: Mushrooms are actually ancient ancestors of ours.
Joe: Think they've ever done DMT?
For some reason I think they're actually very diverse that they can get high off themselves (DMT)
Paul: they invented dmt
Joe: woah
We are fungi =).
DMT is a tryptamine molecule, very similar to serotonine human molecule in his structure
Hahaha fr tho
i stopped smokin weed to pass a drug test for work and had crazy dreams of driving and getting into horrible accidents and totaling my truck.
Bring Paul back on the podcast!!
This is the best conversation ever broadcasted on the internet.
I rewatch this shit like star wars
@Alexander Supertramp Yes definitely as important as this one. Exposing the war on some drugs and bringing awareness to the orwellian dictators toolkit the NSA is using are both critical issues
well, you obviously haven't heard Joe Rogan and Alex Jones...
I personally love Forest Galant. I also really liked the Villanueve guy
Maybe, just maybe, the fungi he ate got into his system and its controlling all his decisions to make him dedicate his life to defend fungi and convince us humans to protect it . MAYBE
What do you mean into his system? It IS the system!
I had that kind of feeling on lsd. All of a sudden after 3 tabs one night I heard a voice say "Ohhhhhhh" "Now I am in control" "feels like I just walked into an empty store" and ive felt very different ever since, better. And lsd is made from some kind of fungus.

I have just rewatched this episode due to foraging for mushrooms recently and being reminded of how amazing they are. 5 years after originally watching this episode it was equally if not more fascinating and relevant today. I would be interested to know if he has done research with our recent global “virus crisis”. This man is absolutely amazing and his life’s work is probably one of the most beneficial scientific explorations of the last century that has far reaching benefits for future generations. SAVE THE BEES !
Vote RFK Jr and perhaps we will have a better chance to save the bees!
@@GoodtoGaia I live in Australia mate and there is no one here by that name 😉
@@dionneharris6149 ahh.. well let's hope the Americans vote for him! He'll work to save the environment and that affects the world. :-)

In order to save the bees we need to save America first. Vote Donald Trump.
