MDMA, lsd, dmt and psilocybin are amazing. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
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 🙏
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
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.
I am currently folding laundry and ironing. As a person with adhd and perfectionism my cannabis helps me to enjoy mundane tasks while not worrying so much to make things perfect. I also thank myself when I am done with a chore.
@@jarredsmith5590 hahaha it goes like "mowing the lawn" to "getting a water break" and ending up journaling or making food while the mower is still out front lol
I did this same thing YEARS ago. I had panic attacks in my late teens. Weed would make it worse. I decided one day to smoke my self uncomfortable and stare at myself in the mirror as the panic set in and I started worrying more, I called for more. I wanted all the panic. It immediately went away and I started to feel amazing. That was a life changing moment realizing how my anxiety and panic attacks were trying to control me
So, you basically did a form of self-exposure therapy on yourself? Or maybe even a form of flooding, where you overload your senses with the anxiety inducing stimuli to the absolute limit. Very interesting.
I'm so grateful that someone else is talking about this, because I've been thinking similar things for a while now. I've been really learning how to connect with cannabis as a sacrament, and a teacher.
My anxiety is terrible, it started out if nowhere at 40.. If I even look at cannabis I Need a Xanax.. It went from a friendly sacrament to something I can barely tolerate or enjoy anymore.. This talk helps me embrace the anxiety somewhat..!.. Thank you for this talk..!.
i don't smoke it anymore, it is to help get in touch with feeling healing, i toast raw bud & eat a teaspoon, up to a tablespoon-ful & explore rhythms with guitar, emphasis with healing, opening to healing, trance, chants, song..etc. meditating on feeling healing sensations...prayer for feeling healing...
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Psychedelics saved me from vears of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
@@amelio3712I believe it means to find the courage & curiosity to challenge the paranoia and f’d up thought all the way through and you might find bliss.
You know what, I've been a weed user for over 25 years now and I've learnt more in the first 15 minutes of your podcast than I have the whole time I've smoked it, thank you and keep up the good work. Great shows. Regards, Mike from the UK.
Weed is the best mother nature can offer, when you can't sleep, feel down or no appetite. Smoke a good blunt and you will smile ,grab some food and then go nap. 😊
@keiko san Obviously you do not innerstand Cannabis. That doesn't work for everyone. I bun th erb, but when people suffer anxiety, panic attacks and depression. These are things you're unaware of... Cannabis is better taken in oil form or edibles, rather than shooting a bong or fat blunt.. These beings talking aren't spiritually awakened. But some beings believe everything they hear..✌🏼
I did not get cannabis for a very long time. Had a bad trip on it with the age of 19. After that I could not smoke any for the next 12 years, because I got so terribly paranoid with it. 12 years later, I realized, that the plant was telling me to deal with the paranoia which eventually sorted out a lot of confusing thoughts I had about myself and others. Thanks to cannabis I learned to trust in my own thoughts and my intiuation and also to set clear boundries for my social life. I also learned that the world is a darker place than I thought and that you are not supposed to get along with everybody. I believe it is important to accept this uncomfortable truth, as I figured out that hiding from this fact is like going through the world with blindfolders.. no wonder that I lived life in constant state of fear and anxiety. So whatever cannabis is, it is at least an eye-opener / trauma-solver.
Last time I had a puff it felt like it took me eternity to get home...every step i took felt like the path ahead got longer it was so uncomfortable...I was heading home so I just said to myself...we are all heading home to death....slow down and enjoy this aweful ride because it may seem long now but eventually it will be going home time and I will have missed all the good stuff if I am too anxious about getting home fast. I must have looked like a crazy person walking down the road stiffly and then grinnigh to myself. But I dont enjoy smoking it at all.
Update. It turns out that I now smoke weed almost every day. I know its just a phase, but it currently really helps solving my issues with social anciety... I found out that its an awesome creavtity tool if you dont force any thoughts and also if you don't give every crazy thought the same attention... me for example I got crazy high and started to dance while listening to minimal techno. I really haven't enjoyed being alone all by myself and being in the moment a long time... I started spending more time with myself being high and also occasionally online with friends. Than I realized how crazy awesome my life is and that I am ready to start taking responsibility and also now to invite other people (especially a girl) into my life...well..thats how I solved my social anxiety with weed :P its still a progress though ;)
Interesting… last time I did weed i had a mind shattering anxiety attack which caused months of derealization. Now starting to learn the lessons you’re talking about.
Psilocybin saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years the be all over for treatment of mental health related issues. 0:04
Me too. One trip on the beach after setting an intention to rewire my brain to be content instead of depressed and I've been good for almost a decade. For the first few months to year after my trip I could feel the darkness trying to creep back in, but it seemed like this external entity at that point that I could just tell to bug off. Eventually it stopped trying.
The absolute craziest feeling realization ive had while going through a psychedelic experience, was the felt realization that the world outside and the world inside aren't two separate worlds. That outside and inside mind are seamlessly connected and part of each other. I was like "oh, its all just one thing"
The same thing. I saw it crystal clear in my psychedelic experience that occurred back in 2016. That experience healed me a lot, as an empath + highly sensitive person + having trauma + having big imagination, it's been hellish for me since a very early age. Long story short: everything has been much better for me after my trip, still had really intense lows, but handled them well. But now with war in my country, Ukraine, all of my patterns came back, I'm traumatized much more than ever and have no access to plant medicine when I need it the most. Hopefully, they will legalize cannabis as a medicine here, as PTSD is now a terrible new "norm". I think all of plant-medicines should be legal and people have to be taught to use them mindfully. Now my heart is broken, it hurts, the war is not over yet, I cannot go home and I've seen dirty messy ignorance that popped up here and there. Which I know though, if I haven't had that trip of mine back in 2016, I would have already gone crazy. 💔
@@iamjoy888 my heart goes out to you, that is a horrible situation. Plant medicine is an amazing tool for revealing what you already have within you. You don't need a substance to be able to sit with that realization, and cultivate that safe, perfect, expansive infinite inner space. I love you and hope that you see no end in your spiritual growth!
@@Westeroni3 I agree, it reveals all that's inside. I just know it does help to get out of your mind's circles. When I was in my experience, I saw my mind - it was such a teeny tiny piece of what personality is, and personality was a teeny tiny peace of what essence is. I thought I'd never be caught up in mind again. I was living more on my heart's level after that, but now my heart is broken. And which is even worse, it feels like all of my victim's patterns of thinking are back. Thank you for your support, it's much needed 🙏💔🤝
@@R0adkillRacc00n it actually was, if you mean the experience I talked about. I've just accepted the fact that while I'm here in this reality, contrast is here as well. I was pretty good at balancing on the waves of my emotions, even my art is about rainbow as a symbol of knowing all of your states and emotions as well-being. The thing that's happening now is smth that brings to the surface the worst things, both from the outside and inside. I just hope it's gonna be light in the end of this tunnel eventually 👁👁👁 meanwhile, I'm just living it all the way it is.
Changing your perspective on smoking weed from just getting high to respecting the plant and letting it help and guide you will tremendously change the effect. Honor the plant and it will be able to help you much more ♥
I have been using cannabis as my therapist for the last 7 years. She is like the angel on my shoulder telling me what I did wrong and could have done better. Instead of feeling anxiety or getting paranoid about it, I listen and learn. She has made me a better person. I think cannabis is the Goddess of Healing (mind, body and soul).
Yikes this is highly alarming and reads like an addict, unfortunately numbing your prefrontal cortex on a nightly basis is probably not an angel on anyone's shoulders 😅
@@MisfitMods just addiction, lying to themselves trying to justify poor choices, I'm sure so lazy stoners are sitting next to them selling the same horseshit without any real science to support the nonsense.
42:21 another thing that will help bring you back if you've consumed too much cannibas, is chewing on 1 or 2 whole black peppercorns, because they contain the terpenes pinene and caryophyllene, which are both known to tamp down THC's psychoactive tendencies to create a more calming, therapeutic effect. Peace ☮️✌🏻
One time when I was high I tried sniffing peppercorns because I heard it could help bring you down a bit and all the lights in my house got so bright I had to keep my eyes closed or else it hurt. Saw CEVs like on shrooms. I haven’t gone near pepper while high since lmao
I’ve always grappled with the guilt I’ve had smoking weed, because of my parent not liking it because it was illegal but now that it’s becoming more legal I feel less guilt and listening to this podcast has made me realize that for me I’ve always loved myself under the influence of weed because I get so deep. I have thought provoking realizations, my heart is really into what’s happening to me internally mentally physically emotionally and even spiritually. I would still like to do Ayuhasqua because I feel that there are things that Kahli can show me that I have some block with.
Why on earth would you feel guilty . Other people's opinions are just not relevant to your personal decisions . Neither are laws . Did you write the law ? No well fuck it then.
Can you help with the source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Really need! 0:01
was actually having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across dr.lucasmushrooms a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly 0:01
I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out its been the best remedy I've ever had. psilocybin been illegal is actually a crime against humanity.
Finally someone articulated and expanded on what I’ve always felt about it. When the flower is cultivated properly, the introspective is unique to only cannabis, it never feels impaired or delusional, rather I find myself picking apart what I’ve been doing with my sober states of being and I’m judging that but in a loving way. I look forward to trying this less crystal covered strain 😂🙌
Having had a couple nightmare experiences with cannabis, including one that was and probably will be the scariest, most difficult event in my life, I realized that weed causes my mind to “split” into positive and negative sides. One brings up all the negative things and possibilities while the other tries to argue. I realize this is what’s going on normally in the background, and I’m learning to prevent that split, essentially making myself one person who can enjoy the experience, a huge help with my social anxiety
Wow. I feel this exact split sometimes too, between a panic and a confidence. It’s like I’ve been cut in half. But as you say, what a lesson! When you integrate it, a real lived yin yang appreciation can emerge
@@drfreebs encountered the two brain stuff via behavioral biology lectures from Sapolsky on youtube. It did cross my mind, but the way it reveals itself via the plant is interesting in its own way :)
@@drfreebs in my experience it switches and depends on the balance, left tends to be more composed, logical and cold, right more passionate, creative and hot.
If you are sensitive, do not smoke. Its too intense and the dosage far too high. Edibles are how you can correctly tailor your dosage for you. Microdose 1mg. Smoking is too risky.
I just can’t do it. Never have been able to, since school. It reduces me to lying down and believing i am watching a movie that is about my expiry due to bad drug choices. I don’t feel connected to my own body and thoughts. The best part of being stoned is when it clears up and i realise I wasn’t predestined to die. Every decade or so i try it again to see if it affects me differently. Nope.
I absolutely loved this interview! I have become aware of the fact that as we grow spiritually and our brain is re-wired synaptically with meditation and stillness that the paranoia , that cannabis once gave me, has fallen away completely and all that is left is a higher innerstanding and a deeper connection to my higher self and the divine! Cannabis is now part of my daily ritual as a mindfulness practitioner. I think if it as a spiritual tool and a medicine. I do not consider it a drug. It is so much more! Thank you gentleman! You are both amazing divine beings of light!
It is a drug and does have unwanted (for some) effects like blocking dreams and REM sleep. If it's medicinal and effective, you shouldn't need to use it daily unless you have chronic pain or something.
this sounds like me for a time - I used it carefully and in small amounts for many years with meditation and then it flipped me into psychotic type experiences - these are still reverberating nearly two years clear - I have since discovered the work of this lady - most useful th-cam.com/video/2o2WI1hsEhk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FitMind
@@spiritlevelstudios Totally agree, dreaming is incredibly important, especially REM sleep. We work through issues in our dreams. Dependancy on anything is giving away your power. I think we can talk our way into believing our unhealthy habits are to our benefit. I think most people who use weed everyday need to take the edge off of their day. I come from experience. Weed will take away the bad vibe but it will also take away the good vibe. The ultimate high is SOBERNESS. A high many people cant tolerate as it is painful to fully face our reality, though facing it completely is the answer to "raising our vibration" and living in truth.

Feeling the paranoia creeping in has been a common occurrence for me in the last few decades the consistent relief has been playing guitar. The channel opens and I can totally relax and connect to the music - I go to another place and it’s amazing; that said it still makes me uneasy in other situations. This discussion is quite enlightening.
Totally relate to performing music (guitar, sing, drums) where I experience fluidity as a whole experience and new abilities are revealed unlike ever before regardless of practice level.
Ya, me also. I play guitar mostly because it's the most convenient but, I play Drums, harmonica, sing. It all helps. Just listening too music helps alot also
"Do things ceremonally" great advice here for the uninitiated. . .also makes me think of Masaro Emoto and his studies on water !!! Bring gratitude into every cup of water or anything you put into your temple
I love the anxiety. It gives me a bit of challenge in some otherwise boring situations. And being able to handle it then, I feel it truly makes me mentally stronger in otherwise challenging situations.
I’m the same. I don’t like speaking to strangers when I’m high. When I’m forced to confront the anxiety, it gives me a peaceful feeling knowing that I kept it together and stayed relaxed. I know it’s good for me to mentally confront these little things head on and overcome the anxiety I would never normally face.
I have really bad anxiety under normal conditions, if I smoke when I haven't for a while the anxiety becomes 10 times more I have no choice to confront it. I love that feeling more than anything once I come to terms and actually start to accept the anxiety it all starts to fade away.
This is so interesting because the type of anxiety weed can bring about is the kind of anxiety I typically walk around with while sober. So obviously, while high, it is heightened greatly and I am leary of weed because of it. It's fascinating that some people like yourself run into that experience purposefully. I hope to be able to embrace it fully in the future as I know it can be a powerful tool. Thank you for sharing your point of view!
I’ve been smoking weed daily for 25 years and I am just now getting to look at it with more respect and reverence, which has made me cut down on it and smoke way less. Love the message you’re spreading! Thanks!
@@ngonzales3781 my interpretation is that he goes thru the crucible of learning the roots of his anxiety by learning to live thru it and let go, which has to be tough as nails
@@Bethune_Groundstaff I've done upwards of 50 different substances in my life, and many combinations of those and I can confidently say that nothing gives anxiety like pot can. A high dose of THC is well beyond a terrible DMT or LSD trip. If you take a high enough dose of THC there ain't no "learning to live thru it", you just get crippled, and not just temporarily. True PTSD inducing experience if there ever was one. It's very important if someone is going to use cannabis or a THC like compound to start low and work their way up to where they feel comfortable.
I've faced the anxiety weed gives me but I do it alone because my anxiety gets 10 times worse smoking with people. One day I would love to enjoy smoking with people.
Very much loving this interview!… I'm 67 years old and so I've had all sorts of different experiences with cannabis… But right now she's such a good friend… And I talk to the plant herself which happens to be growing somewhere near me… That planted herself there because on my not understanding that if you have a male plant near female plants they produce seeds lol birds and bees and flowers and trees and all that… Anyway now she is a special friend who planted herself in my garden and I use her for all sorts of medicine both topical and internal and she's become a very very good friend… My landlord told me I can't grow her anymore after this year… And we shall see what we shall see… But I've always thought that the plants -All of them are ascended masters that people can do well to learn from if they don't abuse them like they do most everything
WOW!!….you guys completely NAILED this stuff, imo. Every minute of that was amazing and useful for me to hear. For so many years now I’ve thought about and wondered about a lot of this stuff, and for the first time ever I hear someone talking about it. I kept wanting to write a comment but eventually realized I would have to comment on every single thing you guys said! This gives me so much hope and help and clarity….and I don’t have a single person in my life I can talk about this stuff with, at least not w/o them thinking I’m whack. I’m super impressed and happy there are people into this stuff. Thank you!!
Smoked weed last friday in coffeshop in amsterdam when i was drunk, didnt like it, i felt insecure and air felt heavy. The day after i smoked again, but now sober, nice music, watching travel videos and colorful lighting= soothed the soul. What a difference. Treat drugs with respect for the best experiences.
I took cannabis or MDMA a lot of times in one summer with the goal of getting over social anxiety and it worked really well! I realized so much in my own approach, attitude, what I say, what I don't say and how the other person reacts and now I'm not afraid to hit up normal conversation while sober, and it was fun!
I had a co-worker who I would occasionally run into at the clubs. He never liked cannabis, but I could tell he was always on MDMA (or street ecstacy) or maybe GHB. He was just so friendly and warm and cool at the club compared to how he was at work. And that dude was a chick magnet. Henhad threesomes and such all the time. Even his girlfriends brought girls home with him. Maybe I should have done the same instead of smoking myself into a dull shell every time before I went out.
I established myself with Cannabis while hiking in the Grand Canyon around 2012, leaning into that kind of pain while in an incredible setting with only one-two puffs on a joint. -After taking 2 years to restore my back. Sun grown is best. daily user since 2011, 1-2 puffs is still all I do for 8 hours. And its strong. 1g will last me 3 days. I'm also alone for most of those hours. Forest living.
that's really cool to hear, a decade of use and you've kept it to a third of a g a day, sounds like You and Cannabis have a worthwhile and positive connection, Respect
damn you are so lucky you can keep it that way for so much time. I smoke like 1-2 weeks then stop 1-2 weeks, etc. After a 1-2 weeks break I smoke exactly the same as you in the beggining, 1g for 3 days, but the next days it starts to diminish, so I need minimum 1g a day until it starts to have no more effect and I stop.
Glad to hear others say how challenging, a challenging THC experience can be. I took a long tolerance break and then jumped back in with a 100mg/ml oil I made and knew very early on it was going to be rough... I have had profoundly 'strong' mushroom and Lucy experiences that were not remotely as challenging as some of my THC experiences... But it's just weed...
THC has provided harder trips for me than anything else, as far as headspace goes. Walking down the street after a joint feels far stranger to me than flying through fractal landscapes in a k-hole.
@@AcrylicGoblin When the ordinary starts to seem bizarre, alien, or even 'fake', that's called derealization. It's almost always mixed with a deep sense of uneasiness, like something bad is about to happen. Most people don't realize that anxiety makes you feel 'strange' as you say or even crazy, which is why it's a legitimate psychiatric disorder.
I’m going into my junior year of high school and when I was first introduced to cannabis was my sophomore year. For me it started off as something that I did just for fun and as a recreational thing but then when I started buying my own and smoking alone at home it was a completely different experience for me. It started to become a more meaningful experience and it started with it helping me have so much self love for myself and to be so grateful for the things I have. If continued to help me heal and to learn to love myself. Couple months later into the year, I went though a horrible breakup that I thought I wasn’t gonna heal from and it just left me broken. The next day I had considered using cannabis but didn’t think I should have because I felt that then it would become something I was gonna depend on and become a depressant. I decided that if I was going to smoke that I was only going to do it to have fun and try and get my mind off the breakup. Once the cannabis started to kick in, I started to become filled with so much self love again and I started to realize that maybe I could heal and that I just needed to accept that I wasn’t in the wrong and that I needed to be the bigger person and move on. The healing process was so amazing and it started to transition into a spiritual experience when I started to meditate and do things to raise my vibrations while high. It’s helped me to see that there’s so much more to life and to live in the now rather then stress about the future or past. It’s helped me realize that we aren’t our bodies and to have a deeper understanding of who I am as a person and how to grow spiritually. I’m now going into my junior year and currently use cannabis for the spiritual side it has and have the highest respect for it and am truly grateful for the experiences it’s given me. There are days where I do use it too for just recreational purposes since I’m home with a boring family for summer break. Overall, You should have the highest respect for this beautiful plant because the experiences it can bring you can be beautiful. Remember to smoke safely and responsibly, happy high’s to all the fellow stoners🤍🍃✨
You sound like a spiritually mature teenager. I was somewhat like that in high school and then it got so much trickier to be consciously self aware throughout life's later experiences, and now I'm trying to embody that space again later in life. I hope you continue to grow and heal, and never lose touch with your higher self no matter where your life path takes you.💕
The only thing THC teaches you is which region of your brain contains the most CBD-1 receptors. THC binds to those receptors and effects that region. If you get fear & anxiety while stoned, it’s not a mirror up to your soul. It just means your Amygdala has the more CBD-1 receptors, which is totally random (genetics, nature, nurture, etc). Here’s how THC effects your brain regions if it predominantly bind to their CBD-1 receptors: Nucleus Accumbens = Euphoria Hypothalamus = Hunger & Sexual Desire Amygdala = Anxiety & Fear Hippocampus = Short Term Memory Loss Spinal Cord (Brain Stem) = Less Pain/Fuzz Warm Body Buzz Cerebellum = Loss of Coordination Basil Ganglia = Slow Reaction Time Cortex = Perceptual Disturbances like Psychotic Symptoms If you get a favourable outcome, congrats; you won the lottery. For many others, THC binds to the Amygdala, Hippocampus, and Cortex. I, for example, reliably have a terrible experience, no matter how many times I’ve tried to enjoy it. That isn’t indicative of a deeper despair or longing or anything. It’s merely indicative of the fact that if anyone fucks with their Amygdala, it triggers a unilateral fight or flight responses (except for psychopaths, as their Amygdala’s are deformed/underdeveloped). That's not a sign you need to change anything about your life. That's a sign that you have a brain with more CBD-1 in your Amygdala than you Hypothalamus. So what? Is it my fault I have more receptors in that area? How exactly am I supposed to change that? Folks with anxiety/fear/panic; my heart goes out to you. But, why is it that some can smoke weed and feel calm, relaxed and quell their otherwise pervasive anxiety? Isn't that the opposite effect? Aren't they avoiding their fears, too? Did the THC gods forget to show them the mirror? Or do they just randomly have more CBD-1 receptors in more favourable brain regions? I think it's the latter. Having said that, moving through fear and bettering your life is always a good lesson. And learning such techniques can be quite helpful, which seems to be the point of their episode here. Although, these two talk about it like it’s their religion, with THC as the new "one true", which is “highly” suspect. #dadjoke
Yogis smoke Cannabis and look where they are 🦄 Cannabis doesn’t make you Paranoid as such. It points out what you are not looking at. I remember walking past a policeman in Holland and no Paranoia as it is not frowned upon. People that don’t understand Cannabis make you feel you are doing something wrong but you are not 🕺
Finally! Someone is talking about paranoia on pot. Also it would great if they made super light THC strains just to be able to use it more just to grind the edges of life off. All these high strains are ridiculous.
Oh they do make strains with very high cbd, low thc, which I like a lot to take the edge off. Search around, I even love many strains of cbd flower, very little or no thc. Good luck on your quest, its worth it!!🤗
Was going to say something along those lines. There's plenty of cannabis flower out there with low THC levels. Seems those with lower T levels come with higher CBD levels. I will say this though, if you live in a state where it isn't medically or recreationally legal, it's difficult to find what you're looking for and you're always at the mercy of your dealer. Before Med and Rec I would go through a couple dealers a year because they always supply with stuff that wasn't helping with pain. They often take it personally
I think exactly the same way. Most people who think they are psychotic when smoking weed are actually having an intense psychedelic experience. It's just your unprocessed thoughts without a suppressing filter mechanism.
I hope you never witness a person that is having a psychotic episode from weed. There are also phyisically hemodynamic changes in their bodies. Don't talk out of arse pls
Nah fck that, heavily smoking weed, esp if your younger, is a dumb idea, I did it, and I don't think it benefited me at all, I think it was the opposite, pyscedelics is the only "drug" that actually helped me longterm, cannibis didn't imo
I've been stating this for many years, that anxiety felt, is shadows being revealed once the days disctractions are dissipated and our mind returns to viewing of the self.
I love doing the daily mundane things in the zen and the most amazing lessons I've had has been in those moments. As you say, how you do one things with presence is how you do everything. Cannabis has been healing for my body and soul for many years and I am so grateful I've been open to use it and allow it to guide me too 🙏
A lot of what he said about plants and how to treat them came to me intuitively as a gardener but what he said about putting the seed in your mouth to inoculate it was new but makes perfect sense. I often ask a plant for guidance and/or insight when interacting. Not just medicinal plants but all plants. Trees are a great place to start. They REALLY REALLY send out love. They are your 3rd lung and feel very honoured to be so. Happy plant journeys to all 🌿🌾🌱🍀🌳💞
Third lung. Wow! Interesting. We have two brains maybe more, your head brain and stomach area. I'm healing my brain, me and my stomach area, eat poorly because it's cheap and easy! I'll get it right, I hope! If I had friends like you all, it would be easy, I'm stuck around people who are blind to healing their self. I'm there only light! Isn't that a kick in the pants, me, their only light. 😆😄Help me lord!!!
Emphasize set and setting, especially being around certain people that can completely off balance a particular experience. It's not cool to joke around or play stupid games when a person is in that state of being. I BELIEVE THE "UNIVERSE" shuns that inconsiderate and disrespectful attitude and behavior
Before weed was legal, I used to go to drink and draw clubs but I could never draw while drunk. I draw while stoned these days, and that is a spiritual experience. Weed and beer are very different, and the things weed does is nothing like how it is depicted in movies like Reefer Madness. In addition, no gateways have opened me to other drugs and I don't even drink any more.
Remember if you intake a lot of caffeine, pot can amplify the caffeine effect so you go on an anxiety rollercoaster that can even linger for days afterwards
Word? I felt like I could handle but I feel like being addicted to such a nice feeling is bad for me. I didn’t want to mix it with caffeine but I still did. A cup of caffeine is a lot for me
Same love the boost of caffeine but it's super addictive and I enjoy life without craving it more, look into improving your sleep and diet, you won't need to reach for the artificial energy boost when youre full of energy for life 😄 so worth it I promise
Wow I had drank a bunch of coffee quickly at my last job and hit my weed pen and I freaked the hell out thinking I would die and legit almost did and since then it's been rocky to smoke
I had a beautiful journey with Santa Maria and I learned a lot from her. Especially how to detect my mental patterns and work with them. It also helped to recognize different emotions and I worked with the intensity of them in order to become a merely observer. She is one of my teachers and I wish for everybody to have this profound connection with her, to treat her in a respectful way. Really grateful that this conversations happen more often.
I do that too and have been doing from the beggining. that's what I love about my little mary. It's fun ocasionally to just be a legume and watch comedies, but what literally tickles my brain is the profound intuitions you can have in your emotions + thought patterns. Though I rarely hear people use it in this way. I swear, for me what captivated me about its effects is that besides you being chiller and it cancelling some of the worries bla bla, it seems in my observation that it also enchances CERTAIN (have no idea what) mind capacities. When I started smoking, I drew only as a child. started drawing and in 1 month maximum I did this work of art that for some newb it seemed impossible. But it wasn't impossible, I did it lol. Also used it some times to plan certain things or to watch videos on youtube and learn science or whatever. I swear I feel like my brain switched from regular gas to kerosen. Even though I get tired a lot faster and the energy spent in the thinking process are much larger, the results are also so much more profound and in-depth.
@@RaduP3 I feel you in this experience. Cannabis has certainly demonstrated (to me) its ability to bring upon an experience of complete abandon and of falling into the depth of the present moment. It's as if it condenses energy inside of us to allow our focus to be concentrated at a higher volume on a specific task. Potentially how you were able to extract so much creative power out of yourself. It might've allowed you to access a natural form of expression you might've not given yourself permission to fall into before. One recurring experience I have with Cannabis is crafting better ways to love and honor myself, and as a result of that I end up in similar situations where I allow myself to completely dedicate the energy I have on a specific area of life I'm excited about. I have noticed that it's a challenging wave to surf at times because such intensity brings me to burn through my energy reserves quite fast. I have learned to stay mindful of how much energy I need to trade in order to feed those intense bouts of dedication. Sobriety allows me to execute on a calmer yet smoother level a lot of times, I have found.
@@thepathofplayfulness First of all, damn how good it is to read the message of someone that is properly articulate. Second, yes, I agree with what you said about going in a place where I didn't give myself permission before. As life continued, that place became familiar and now thank God I allow myself to create from it whenever the need arises, either sober or after I smoked. It seems that our experiences with it have some common areas from what you said.
@@RaduP3 Thank you haha, I spent a lot of time rewriting some sentences to make it palatable. I'm happy you've found a way to find that place where you gave yourself permission. And yes, it's great to hear about someone else with an experience I can relate to. Cannabis seems so unique to everybody that I rarely hear the same feedback.
Oooh I’m so happy someone is talking about this!!! I use a very small amount of cannabis almost every evening and reach incredible highs and connection with source. I’m just starting to listen to this video but I got so excited as I started listening that I just had to say THaNKs in advance! 🐿 😂 🙏 💜 (now back to your interview…)
I experiment with cannabis while a graduate student. It was the best time of my life. I smoked when I got home to write my papers and transcribe my therapy notes.🙂
I’m the same, a little every few days. With todays high THC strains, only one little bowl will assist one in getting to meditative states that may take longer without the cannabis to achieve. I feel the plant is here to help with the ascension process 💯, especially for the conscious and awakened collective.
My bf says I’m nicer with cannabis 😅 things that normally would bother me or irritate me don’t when I’m on cannabis or I gain a different perspective of that thing. I thank the spirit of cannabis with all my heart cause it has brought me closer to my true authentic self.
While that is true, you are still reliant on a substance to take you there. You're connected to your true self smoking, but of course it goes when cannabis is absent. Through meditation, you can access these experiences and learn to control your mind, to not be bothered or irritated on the daily, to be greater. Making these skills, is like going to the gym. You need to build up the muscles to have lasting peace and joy. We can't get around not doing the inner work.
Weed can also be one of the most pernicious substances a fragile and vulnerable person can use. Forget the hype, It is to be used if at all, very sparingly, especially in currant potential strains. You can get flashbacks from it months later. It alters normal transmission and can cause serious paranoia, work and social dysfunction and identity confusion. Would you trust a mechanic working on an airplane you want to fly to not space out. Measure its comfort levels in public and see for yourself. It is worse as you think it is. And you should not use it while driving. Its not worth the risk. So smoke it at your own peril. This guy is not looking at damage stats.
Heavy breath work whilst super stoned - Cannahuasca...my body exploded into pure and electrifying vibration....not expecting it was REALLY REALLY FRIGHTENING Hahaha but it was eye opening for sure. Thank you Aubrey 👊
Psychedelics are great! I've heard so many people saying that magic mushroom helped them get through addiction and depression, don't know how true it is, but I'm still trying to find a reliable place to buy the spores or purchase the actual mushrooms, I've got terrible addiction
when i tried shrooms i ate way more than i should of because i thought they wouldn’t work and then my face got numb and i threw up shrooms and my friend was laughing but trying to comfort me and the bathroom lights were flickering cuz they were old and i had to go home
This is incredibly interesting due to the obvious experience and profound insights of you both. Seriously this answers questions I didn’t know how to ask. This is my third or fourth viewing and that has been my experience each time! Isn’t that cool? Thank you friends. 🙏🏻
Did a 7 day cannabis cleanse, then reintroduced on 12/02/2022 and had a two week explosion of revelations, insights, and pure inspiration on a level I can only describe as life changing. After years of heart numbness, I can now face my traumas and bad experiences more clearly and positively that was like a fire hydrant of emotions. The clincher for me was when this first happened, and unbeknownst to my wife, she said for the first time in our relationship that “you look different” but wasn’t certain how(?). I’m so grateful for God’s medicine for spiritual, mental, and physical healing.
@@dalerohling5989 after a month sober and sweating thc out my body in the tropics, my first time hitting a bong had me feeling like my first time again. Wasn't even crazy weed either
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11the cbn in your weed might be medicating your body (sweating) and you don’t even know, cbn is a crazy thing, after a month you really shouldn’t still be getting those withdrawal sweats
Oh, come on. If it makes you anxious, it's just as likely a biochemical response, not necessarily a deep insight. I'm all about the gifts plants provide us with and the synergistic benefits given & received between plants & us, but sometimes it's possible to apply a deeper meaning where none exists. You also have to acknowledge that like plants, humans are extremely complex organisms and the symbiotic relationships we have with plants often create powerful pharmacological reactions within us, as well as powerful emotional & spiritual reactions.
I love that Aubrey will acknowledge the risk of these substances without throwing in the "don't try this at home" disclaimer. So many other youtubers will share their wonderful experiences but then say "I never recommend that anyone else try this." I feel like that kind of sends mixed messages and almost comes across like they're better than you. Aubrey seems to acknowledge that we're all adults and we can find our own way and make our own mistakes because in the end that's where the real growth is.
I never take the disclaimers that way, because I understand that they say that shit to keep from getting sued, or having their videos banned. I did not know that some took your viewpoint though. Interesting.
@@armadasinterceptor2955 that's true, and it is a shame that they have to worry about getting banned. I suppose it did come across a little harsh towards other youtubers but mostly I just meant it as a compliment towards Aubrey
Weed always gave me more insight and wisdom than acid or other hallucinogens. I think of it as sacred like you would ayuhasca. I wouldn’t be able to smoke it everyday. It gives me too much info into the nature of reality that I might not be prepared to see and takes me a long time to process the info I’m given
I don't know if it's just me, but if cannabis is legal in so many countries and it's good for medicinal purposes. Then why OH WHY is it illegal in other places, it's like I can watch people on youtube smoking in America etc and it's perfectly legal. But massively frowned upon in the UK and massively Illegal. It really fucks with my mind and makes me think it's just a plant that can be grown like any other plant in the world.
Such a timely video for me. Thank you! I’ve been meditating with cannabis for a for years now. I really appreciate the tips on how to connect with the medicine when you don’t know where/how it was grown. And I REALLY loved Aubrey’s comments about the various perspectives of God!
I love that the conversation around anxiety and weed is out in a much bigger realm because even though I always shrugged it off in the moment, and still do, I was always shamed for getting paranoid(ANXIOUS) and I hated it and it pushed me inward to the point that I don’t know hardly anyone I used to know aside from family. The mind is such a wild thing
Same here. I often played the role of the "wet blanket" at parties and gatherings, and weed only enhanced my cautiousness. I tried not to express myself too much, but I always felt like I was not wanted.
It's nice to hear the spiritual explanations as to why you might be feeling anxious on weed, but has anyone monitored their biological readings (BP, oxygen saturation, pulse rate) while high? Could it be that cannabis has a biological effect that lowers your oxygen saturation and blood pressure while simultaneously increasing pulse rate and thusly creating a sensation of panic/anxiety at times?
Generally, if your pulse rate increases, your blood pressure will respectfully increases. This is a result of consistent ejection fraction of your cardiac muscle. If your heart is functioning properly that’s how it works.
Had uncontrollable chills last time I got too high and definitely felt there was something physically happening with my body chemistry and not some higher spiritual lesson lol.
That conversation was so important for me. I've been smoking 4 joints per day. It has made my mood and even work productivity better, but I still feel like it distances myself from some interests and people. I'll try this weekend method, beginning with a "only at night" method, let's start with small steps :) Thanks for all this valuable information and inquires!
If it distances you from certain people or activities there’s usually a reason for me anyway, it just means I’m not aligned with these things and it’s better to do something I am aligned with🙏🏼good luck 🍀
It has only distanced me from judgmental family members that refuse to sit at the same table with me just because I decide to use cannabis. Literally all these people who I love and feel sad that I can't connect with them, but it's true. They see it in such a blunt way that I can't believe open up to such narrow minded people. Around other cannabis users I'm very sociable and happy, this lets me know I'm not crazy lol
Cannabis absolutely is a gateway psychedelic. Source: The billion people that used psychedelics after using weed initially. 😆 Edit: And as is being described en masse in this comment section, psilocybin also cured something broken inside of me seemingly permanently. Something weed certainly couldn't and doesn't do for me.
Can't agree with this. Dreaming is incredibly important, especially REM sleep. We work through issues in our dreams. Dependancy on anything is giving away your power. I think we can talk our way into believing our unhealthy habits are to our benefit. I think most people who use weed everyday need to take the edge off of their day. I come from experience. Weed will take away the bad vibe but it will also take away the good vibe. The ultimate high is SOBERNESS. A high many people cant tolerate as it is painful to fully face our reality, though facing it completely is the answer to "raising our vibration" and living in truth.
Yeah this guy is so full of shit, but most guests on here are. Everyone talks about how great they are at smoking weed but how about "interacting" with real life and being good at that. They are just selling mysterious woo woo products using their own little marketing language. They have a few good points but mostly just take common sense ideas and make them complicated for naive people.
Can't agree with this. "The ultimate high" was when i went to the florida keys for spring break 2007 and me and the bros were smoking salvia and i lived 40 years as a cockroach with a wife and kids.
I quit 6 months ago after major hypertension attacks. Literally had the phone in my hand ready to call 911. I'm so happy to have all my dreams back & finally started lucid dreaming again. It's tough facing everything to be in a higher vibe, but I do still miss the ah-ha moment I would have on it. But NOT going back because I feel that's just going backwards. I feel like if your a higher vibe than cannabis, it's not going to work for you anyways.
@@TheprogresBMX Find something healthy that you LOVE to do to keep you busy. I garden, meditate, started riding my bike & exercising a bit. Eat better & stop buying munchies lol. Took trips to the book store for coffee etc. It was pretty difficult, not gonna lie. And I actually tried to quit like a year ago but kept going back. A few bad experiences & slowly changing areas in my life took me a while to come to terms, but it was worth it. Try to give it up for a day, 2 days, every other day, then a week etc.. It gets easier the longer you can go without. Good luck!
Cana is my shrink😂seriously if I have a issue I can’t solve I 💨 and it gets untangled in my brain I write it down and boom 🤯it’s a necessity in these times you just have to learn what it comes to teach you. There’s a reason why Cathy O’Brien says it’s the one drug they didn’t give MKULTRA victims it’s because it would bring in too much awareness from their subconscious and that’s how they controlled them. She’s a total survivor check out her books, I just love her🌹. Thank you gentlemen, now I gotta get to my session 😂🙏🏼
Wow. The first 30 seconds flips every experience I've had with it on its head. It's always induced horrible panic attacks for me that come on immediately. It seems like a lot of people who are into it think they're pharmacists and would tell me it's because of this or that, nothing they would say would make any sense. This is a great explanation and very helpful. Thanks!
LOVE the fact that he's growing this amazing plant using organic techniques in LIVING soil! We do that at Fiore Cannabis in NV. I do wonder why there was no talk about terpenes and how you can help customize your high based upon what terps are in the plant. NV requires terpene testing as part of their lab tests, I wish all states did the same. Organic, living soil for medical and recreational use is the way to go. 100%
And what are the benefits? As somebody who quit smoking marijuana 10 years ago after a bad acid trip. I miss cannabis but even if I have the smallest puff from a joint it sends me to another dimension of paranoia and dark self reflection. I like the sound of the fact there may we strands that counter this reaction
@@andyeban Look into the different cannabinoids and terpenes online and their benefits. Then seek out strains dominant in them. And if you choose to consume again, use the smallest amount and go from there.
I used to love cannabis but I realised it was time to stop. Too much anxiety and paranoia, had a scary mental episode on it once and realised sobriety is the key.
@@koachkool yeah g I don’t miss it. I’ve always been that guy that can quit anything easy no sweat, the bad episode was all I needed as the trigger! How are you brother?
@@AdventureSam that’s good to hear. I’m taking one day at a time. I smoked for so long , like 23 years and being permanently stoned all day and night so I’m craving still after 8 months but I’ll make it.
I think people need to talk more about paranoia, anxiety & the addiction qualities of cannabis. I've been smoking for over 40 years and throughout this time I have quit for a little over a month, two times per year and there have also been jobs and other situations that either required or generated a preference for a momentary abstinence. Whether you just want cannabis or truly benefit from it or really need it, you still don't want it controlling you. Having to stay completely away from something because you have lost or given up your control over it is very unhealthy thing to do to your mental & physical health. If you're addicted to cannabis then a break or total abstinence may be what you need. However, comparing cannabis to alcohol Is a kind of like comparing automotive travel to foot travel, You could call both of them forms of transportation However that's the end of their reasonable comparison. Cannabis has some degree of addictive quality to persons that have addictive personality disorders. But is in reality beneficial to breaking peoples addictive habits, whereas alcohol is one of the more addictive things that we recreate with. Again, cannabis can be addictive. But studies have shown that it's more likely to be the activities done along with cannabis use that are the more addictive quality like the habits and rituals that people have trouble breaking. Before quitting try making it an act of quick medical injestion without ritual for a few weeks before trying chemical quiting
56:55 - McKenna was a proponent of integration. But it was Alan Watts who said to "hang up the phone", permanently. McKenna smoked weed continuously for decades, although he did recognise it's value and power as a psychedelic.
Swami Chaitanya has been implementing bio geometry in his garden for years on his farm in Northern California. You can look him up here on youtube where he speaks about it and shares his farm and growing techniques. Also, as a cannabis grower myself, I learn much more from this plant by growing it and being with it than consuming it. By far! It is quite an experience cultivating this plant, especially when flower time comes around. The smells and sights in flowering of this plant are something very special to experience.
Wo! This interview has been so helpful! Cannabis has been my 'sacred medicine' for 20 years, but then I would always fall into the trap of overusing it because it would allow me to feel deeply connected with my authentic self and my creativity, and I would want to keep diving deeper without integrating. Now that I've just learned about Ryan's courses here, I will definitely be seeking further teaching from him. Thank you Aubrey for interviewing such wonderful beings as Ryan and being such a beautiful being yourself.
Yes!!!! It helps me with awareness & brings me to the observer position as well. Shadowwork comes much quicker/ clearer & smoother realization/release.🐛🦋🐍 Thank 💚 You🙏 Soooo beautifully explained🤩🙏💚
I used to smoke at least 1/8 a day when I was young but I got locked up for a year and got out, tried to smoke, and totally freaked out with anxiety. I just decided I can’t smoke anymore.
I go several months without smoking. Then I’ll be at a campfire or party and smoke so much I feel like I’m tripping. “Did I just say that out loud?!?” “Omg I hope I wasn’t rude!” “I hope my voice isn’t offending people.” “I’m starving, omg it’s been 2hrs! No…10 minutes.”

Respect to anyone that actually uses this method of purposeful anxiety to grow, but ima pass. Every time I smoke weed it's like I become schizophrenic for 4 hours. That amount of stress on your fragile conscious mind is, in my opinion, very dangerous.
Cannabis induced mind states had help me realize that cannabis was not a drug that i should take on a daily basis (for me). And helped me get out of the addiction of thc. Now i just use it once a month or less. I'm really grateful for every thc induced mind state that i could be in.
Thank you discussing this topic. I just did a medicine retreat 3 weeks ago with 3.3 grams of penis envy, thank God a shaman was present it was alot I was journeying for 12 hrs and purging on and off throughout the night into the next morning
I have just started smoking cannabis again after a long 20 year break . I am now experiencing its amazing medicine in small doses . It’s allows me to sink into ‘Observer’ mode . This chat is fab! confirming all that I have been contemplating 👍🏻🙏🏻
Big Love Aubrey,I really appreciate much that you share. But I wish you would stop calling our special plants,Medicines. It implys that they actually have a physically healing effect,like a doctors pill. Conciousness is fundamental and our physical universe is simulated from a single substance. Psychedelics can help people to open up their own conciousness so that they can work out the problems and solutions themselves. The power comes from within and the individual should empower themselves even more if they are taught this truth. Giving all the credit to "the medicine" or a higher power,creates the perspective of being a victim at the whim of external reality. Psychedelics dont fix anything,they just create the potential for individuals to fix themselves.
Hmmm interesting perspectives on the anxiety induced from cannabis. I’ve studied plant medicine as well as plant spirit medicine. The message that I’ve received when the overwhelming feeling of paranoia and fear that come on through cannabis is that I am tapping into the collective consciousness and I’m experiencing the collective fear and paranoia. When the plant spirit is connecting me to these emotions, they do not feel like my own, I don’t go through my day having thoughts like that, only on cannabis. For me, it’s trying to help me develop empathy for the collective.
@@youngchap4941 I noticed that too. I feel like the "distance" between "thoughts" is so short and my consciousness links them faster and that's where the "we" is coming from. it's like the previous part of me with its content is communicating with the current (next one of the previous) one and they "talk" as parts between one another. I think it has something to do with dissasociation as the only time I noticed talking to myself in we while sober is when I am severely disassociated. while dissassociated, the psyche splits into multiple parts ( I saw inside me many active at the same time, up to let's say 4 or 5) and depending what caused the split, these parts are gravitating in circles around their "points of information" that created the dissasociation. (damn i hate to write this word in english) and if theoretically you would add these parts together in a way inside you by accepting them in their "apparent individuality" they get integrated in the psyche and body and with several new cycles (like a computer you know) the integration in continously more complex functions is achieved so you reach the "observator" state automatically since that's what integration is.
@@RaduP3 had to read that a few times to fully digest it. Srry I don't think I'll be able to articulate then write what you said but I get the jist of it. I don't have bad paranoia when doing a high dose but my anxiety I have will be a point of focus allot of times because I get so high I don't function like I normally would so that brings me away from the observator state. I have learned allot from weed and now know more of it's potential but I feel like I'm not fully connected to my heart to be receptive to what ever I learn I can't get emotionaly behind things like I should. I wanna do some mushrooms soon it's more in your face I guess and kinda forces and helps in that aspect then I can imagine what more I'll learn from weed.
@@youngchap4941 yes, I see what you mean with feeling like you remain emotionally behind. Don't forget to be gentle and to not force things for the purpose of knowledge because that "cuts" the body in many pieces. Be gentle and allow the story to unfold by itself. knowledge is a by product and love in the continuation of the circle of the real self is the only constant. take care brother.
I always have psychedelic experiences when I use weed, but that's because I use it as a tool for meditation. It's like I'm literally shaping my reality, but as a reflection of something so fundamentally inherent that it cannot be discerned normally except through meditation. The comment about cannabis having many spirits, the understanding from many traditional cultures is that it opens the door of the mind more fully to receive more easily the different voices, or entities. They are like streams of consciousness that manifest within our realm to some extent. One must have sound understanding of metaphysics for this to make sense, but different dimensions of reality have their own substratum of consciousness. As such, those dimensions manifest worlds that do not interact directly (like two objects of the same dimension), but they still can influence each other, like the undercurrents of the ocean affecting the waves on the surface. The heart, from a traditional perspective, can receive or connect with all substratums, and so all dimensions may manifest within the heart. The heart receives the voices of angels as well as demons. It is said that within the heart there are the seven doors of hell and the seven doors of heaven. Muslims in North Africa, in their Sufi circles, use a type of cannabis called koch. Traditionally, the koch tree was called the Tree of God because of the great inspirations that it proffered upon its users. But it must also be kept in mind that the way these people used it was with the utmost of care, respect, and discipline. Their lives revolved around spiritual training and disciplining, subduing the animal impulses of the ego before the rational soul or the intellect. This would enable them to walk the spiritual path after opening the portal of the mind through meditation and koch.
MDMA, lsd, dmt and psilocybin are amazing. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
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 🙏
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of mycologist Predroavaro. This treatment worked for me. Helped me got rid of my life long depression and BPD.
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.

That’s a whole lot of labels you have on yourself there!
I did this same thing YEARS ago. I had panic attacks in my late teens. Weed would make it worse. I decided one day to smoke my self uncomfortable and stare at myself in the mirror as the panic set in and I started worrying more, I called for more. I wanted all the panic. It immediately went away and I started to feel amazing. That was a life changing moment realizing how my anxiety and panic attacks were trying to control me
Get help
Literally don’t understand this but I want to
So, you basically did a form of self-exposure therapy on yourself? Or maybe even a form of flooding, where you overload your senses with the anxiety inducing stimuli to the absolute limit. Very interesting.
This resonates with me heavy. Ima try this if i get anxious again on weed.
@@_VISION. Went over your head. Didn't it? You should get some help.
I'm so grateful that someone else is talking about this, because I've been thinking similar things for a while now. I've been really learning how to connect with cannabis as a sacrament, and a teacher.
It starts all the way with how it’s grown to how it’s processed and refined to medicine
same here, glad it's not just me opening up to this magical hidden experience
My anxiety is terrible, it started out if nowhere at 40.. If I even look at cannabis I Need a Xanax.. It went from a friendly sacrament to something I can barely tolerate or enjoy anymore.. This talk helps me embrace the anxiety somewhat..!.. Thank you for this talk..!.

i don't smoke it anymore, it is to help get in touch with feeling healing,
i toast raw bud & eat a teaspoon, up to a tablespoon-ful & explore rhythms with guitar, emphasis with healing, opening to healing, trance, chants, song..etc.
meditating on feeling healing sensations...prayer for feeling healing...
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

Obviously you do not innerstand Cannabis. That doesn't work for everyone. I bun th erb, but when people suffer anxiety, panic attacks and depression. These are things you're unaware of... Cannabis is better taken in oil form or edibles, rather than shooting a bong or fat blunt..

@@bryanbuff its at 96 now lol
everybody quick upvote the dimwit, he needs it
I did not get cannabis for a very long time. Had a bad trip on it with the age of 19. After that I could not smoke any for the next 12 years, because I got so terribly paranoid with it. 12 years later, I realized, that the plant was telling me to deal with the paranoia which eventually sorted out a lot of confusing thoughts I had about myself and others. Thanks to cannabis I learned to trust in my own thoughts and my intiuation and also to set clear boundries for my social life. I also learned that the world is a darker place than I thought and that you are not supposed to get along with everybody. I believe it is important to accept this uncomfortable truth, as I figured out that hiding from this fact is like going through the world with blindfolders.. no wonder that I lived life in constant state of fear and anxiety.
So whatever cannabis is, it is at least an eye-opener / trauma-solver.
Last time I had a puff it felt like it took me eternity to get home...every step i took felt like the path ahead got longer it was so uncomfortable...I was heading home so I just said to myself...we are all heading home to death....slow down and enjoy this aweful ride because it may seem long now but eventually it will be going home time and I will have missed all the good stuff if I am too anxious about getting home fast. I must have looked like a crazy person walking down the road stiffly and then grinnigh to myself. But I dont enjoy smoking it at all.
Update. It turns out that I now smoke weed almost every day. I know its just a phase, but it currently really helps solving my issues with social anciety...
I found out that its an awesome creavtity tool if you dont force any thoughts and also if you don't give every crazy thought the same attention... me for example I got crazy high and started to dance while listening to minimal techno. I really haven't enjoyed being alone all by myself and being in the moment a long time... I started spending more time with myself being high and also occasionally online with friends.
Than I realized how crazy awesome my life is and that I am ready to start taking responsibility and also now to invite other people (especially a girl) into my life...well..thats how I solved my social anxiety with weed :P its still a progress though ;)
@@thegabbagu I am listening to Richie Hawtin.
Interesting… last time I did weed i had a mind shattering anxiety attack which caused months of derealization. Now starting to learn the lessons you’re talking about.
Thank you for sharing your experience. That's so insightful and something I'd like to keep in mind.
Psilocybin saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years the be all over for treatment of mental health related issues. 0:04

@@MrWarmchocolatebotz just ignore it
Me too. One trip on the beach after setting an intention to rewire my brain to be content instead of depressed and I've been good for almost a decade. For the first few months to year after my trip I could feel the darkness trying to creep back in, but it seemed like this external entity at that point that I could just tell to bug off. Eventually it stopped trying.
The absolute craziest feeling realization ive had while going through a psychedelic experience, was the felt realization that the world outside and the world inside aren't two separate worlds. That outside and inside mind are seamlessly connected and part of each other. I was like "oh, its all just one thing"
The same thing. I saw it crystal clear in my psychedelic experience that occurred back in 2016. That experience healed me a lot, as an empath + highly sensitive person + having trauma + having big imagination, it's been hellish for me since a very early age. Long story short: everything has been much better for me after my trip, still had really intense lows, but handled them well. But now with war in my country, Ukraine, all of my patterns came back, I'm traumatized much more than ever and have no access to plant medicine when I need it the most. Hopefully, they will legalize cannabis as a medicine here, as PTSD is now a terrible new "norm". I think all of plant-medicines should be legal and people have to be taught to use them mindfully.
Now my heart is broken, it hurts, the war is not over yet, I cannot go home and I've seen dirty messy ignorance that popped up here and there. Which I know though, if I haven't had that trip of mine back in 2016, I would have already gone crazy. 💔
@@iamjoy888 my heart goes out to you, that is a horrible situation.
Plant medicine is an amazing tool for revealing what you already have within you. You don't need a substance to be able to sit with that realization, and cultivate that safe, perfect, expansive infinite inner space. I love you and hope that you see no end in your spiritual growth!
@@Westeroni3 I agree, it reveals all that's inside. I just know it does help to get out of your mind's circles. When I was in my experience, I saw my mind - it was such a teeny tiny piece of what personality is, and personality was a teeny tiny peace of what essence is. I thought I'd never be caught up in mind again. I was living more on my heart's level after that, but now my heart is broken. And which is even worse, it feels like all of my victim's patterns of thinking are back.
Thank you for your support, it's much needed 🙏💔🤝
this sounds like a glimpse of non-duality
@@R0adkillRacc00n it actually was, if you mean the experience I talked about. I've just accepted the fact that while I'm here in this reality, contrast is here as well. I was pretty good at balancing on the waves of my emotions, even my art is about rainbow as a symbol of knowing all of your states and emotions as well-being. The thing that's happening now is smth that brings to the surface the worst things, both from the outside and inside. I just hope it's gonna be light in the end of this tunnel eventually 👁👁👁 meanwhile, I'm just living it all the way it is.
Changing your perspective on smoking weed from just getting high to respecting the plant and letting it help and guide you will tremendously change the effect. Honor the plant and it will be able to help you much more ♥
I have been using cannabis as my therapist for the last 7 years. She is like the angel on my shoulder telling me what I did wrong and could have done better. Instead of feeling anxiety or getting paranoid about it, I listen and learn. She has made me a better person. I think cannabis is the Goddess of Healing (mind, body and soul).
Well said and very accurate👍🏻✌🏻

42:21 another thing that will help bring you back if you've consumed too much cannibas, is chewing on 1 or 2 whole black peppercorns, because they contain the terpenes pinene and caryophyllene, which are both known to tamp down THC's psychoactive tendencies to create a more calming, therapeutic effect. Peace ☮️✌🏻
One time when I was high I tried sniffing peppercorns because I heard it could help bring you down a bit and all the lights in my house got so bright I had to keep my eyes closed or else it hurt. Saw CEVs like on shrooms. I haven’t gone near pepper while high since lmao
Super cool technique...will try!!
@@sirnotawesome Brother you snorted pepper while high? That just sounds like a terrible idea for a number of reasons 😅
hey! thank u so much!
I’ve always grappled with the guilt I’ve had smoking weed, because of my parent not liking it because it was illegal but now that it’s becoming more legal I feel less guilt and listening to this podcast has made me realize that for me I’ve always loved myself under the influence of weed because I get so deep. I have thought provoking realizations, my heart is really into what’s happening to me internally mentally physically emotionally and even spiritually. I would still like to do Ayuhasqua because I feel that there are things that Kahli can show me that I have some block with.
My parents were pro weed so it was never taboo growing up. I think it sad that people have to deal with what you did from ignorance
Check out (the church of ambrosia) on youtube. It's a cannabis and High dose shroom church. 15 dry grams to 30 dry grams

Just be careful because heavy use results in withdrawal that will destroy your psyche. Take vitamins.
Why on earth would you feel guilty .

Neither are laws . Did you write the law ? No well fuck it then.
Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress disorders. Saved my life,
Can you help with the source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Really need! 0:01

I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out its been the best remedy I've ever had. psilocybin been illegal is actually a crime against humanity.
Finally someone articulated and expanded on what I’ve always felt about it. When the flower is cultivated properly, the introspective is unique to only cannabis, it never feels impaired or delusional, rather I find myself picking apart what I’ve been doing with my sober states of being and I’m judging that but in a loving way. I look forward to trying this less crystal covered strain 😂🙌
That's what she does, she's a teacher and a medicine ❤
every single plant on earth teaches us something.
Having had a couple nightmare experiences with cannabis, including one that was and probably will be the scariest, most difficult event in my life, I realized that weed causes my mind to “split” into positive and negative sides. One brings up all the negative things and possibilities while the other tries to argue. I realize this is what’s going on normally in the background, and I’m learning to prevent that split, essentially making myself one person who can enjoy the experience, a huge help with my social anxiety
Wow. I feel this exact split sometimes too, between a panic and a confidence. It’s like I’ve been cut in half. But as you say, what a lesson! When you integrate it, a real lived yin yang appreciation can emerge
@@drfreebs encountered the two brain stuff via behavioral biology lectures from Sapolsky on youtube. It did cross my mind, but the way it reveals itself via the plant is interesting in its own way :)
out of interest was the negative located right and the positive left in your mind space
@@drfreebs unable to remember!
@@drfreebs in my experience it switches and depends on the balance, left tends to be more composed, logical and cold, right more passionate, creative and hot.
If you are sensitive, do not smoke. Its too intense and the dosage far too high. Edibles are how you can correctly tailor your dosage for you. Microdose 1mg. Smoking is too risky.
I just can’t do it. Never have been able to, since school. It reduces me to lying down and believing i am watching a movie that is about my expiry due to bad drug choices. I don’t feel connected to my own body and thoughts.
The best part of being stoned is when it clears up and i realise I wasn’t predestined to die.
Every decade or so i try it again to see if it affects me differently. Nope.
I absolutely loved this interview! I have become aware of the fact that as we grow spiritually and our brain is re-wired synaptically with meditation and stillness that the paranoia , that cannabis once gave me, has fallen away completely and all that is left is a higher innerstanding and a deeper connection to my higher self and the divine! Cannabis is now part of my daily ritual as a mindfulness practitioner. I think if it as a spiritual tool and a medicine. I do not consider it a drug. It is so much more!
Thank you gentleman! You are both amazing divine beings of light!
It is a drug and does have unwanted (for some) effects like blocking dreams and REM sleep. If it's medicinal and effective, you shouldn't need to use it daily unless you have chronic pain or something.
Man, you just increased your tolerance.
this sounds like me for a time - I used it carefully and in small amounts for many years with meditation and then it flipped me into psychotic type experiences - these are still reverberating nearly two years clear - I have since discovered the work of this lady - most useful th-cam.com/video/2o2WI1hsEhk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FitMind
@@spiritlevelstudios Totally agree, dreaming is incredibly important, especially REM sleep. We work through issues in our dreams. Dependancy on anything is giving away your power. I think we can talk our way into believing our unhealthy habits are to our benefit. I think most people who use weed everyday need to take the edge off of their day. I come from experience. Weed will take away the bad vibe but it will also take away the good vibe. The ultimate high is SOBERNESS. A high many people cant tolerate as it is painful to fully face our reality, though facing it completely is the answer to "raising our vibration" and living in truth.

Feeling the paranoia creeping in has been a common occurrence for me in the last few decades the consistent relief has been playing guitar. The channel opens and I can totally relax and connect to the music - I go to another place and it’s amazing; that said it still makes me uneasy in other situations. This discussion is quite enlightening.
Same. I love my music
Totally relate to performing music (guitar, sing, drums) where I experience fluidity as a whole experience and new abilities are revealed unlike ever before regardless of practice level.
Ya, me also. I play guitar mostly because it's the most convenient but, I play Drums, harmonica, sing. It all helps. Just listening too music helps alot also
If you can survive a weed panic attack you can survive ANYTHING
"Do things ceremonally"
great advice here for the uninitiated. . .also makes me think of Masaro Emoto and his studies on water !!! Bring gratitude into every cup of water or anything you put into your temple
I love the anxiety. It gives me a bit of challenge in some otherwise boring situations. And being able to handle it then, I feel it truly makes me mentally stronger in otherwise challenging situations.
I’m the same. I don’t like speaking to strangers when I’m high. When I’m forced to confront the anxiety, it gives me a peaceful feeling knowing that I kept it together and stayed relaxed. I know it’s good for me to mentally confront these little things head on and overcome the anxiety I would never normally face.
I have really bad anxiety under normal conditions, if I smoke when I haven't for a while the anxiety becomes 10 times more I have no choice to confront it. I love that feeling more than anything once I come to terms and actually start to accept the anxiety it all starts to fade away.
same here
This is so interesting because the type of anxiety weed can bring about is the kind of anxiety I typically walk around with while sober. So obviously, while high, it is heightened greatly and I am leary of weed because of it. It's fascinating that some people like yourself run into that experience purposefully. I hope to be able to embrace it fully in the future as I know it can be a powerful tool. Thank you for sharing your point of view!
@@acidwanderer6320 well said. same over here.

I faced my anxiety weed gave me and learned more than i could ever imagine.
SAME. I used to fear pot...
What does that even mean
@@ngonzales3781 my interpretation is that he goes thru the crucible of learning the roots of his anxiety by learning to live thru it and let go, which has to be tough as nails
@@Bethune_Groundstaff I've done upwards of 50 different substances in my life, and many combinations of those and I can confidently say that nothing gives anxiety like pot can. A high dose of THC is well beyond a terrible DMT or LSD trip.
If you take a high enough dose of THC there ain't no "learning to live thru it", you just get crippled, and not just temporarily. True PTSD inducing experience if there ever was one.
It's very important if someone is going to use cannabis or a THC like compound to start low and work their way up to where they feel comfortable.
I've faced the anxiety weed gives me but I do it alone because my anxiety gets 10 times worse smoking with people. One day I would love to enjoy smoking with people.

Very much loving this interview!… I'm 67 years old and so I've had all sorts of different experiences with cannabis… But right now she's such a good friend… And I talk to the plant herself which happens to be growing somewhere near me… That planted herself there because on my not understanding that if you have a male plant near female plants they produce seeds lol birds and bees and flowers and trees and all that… Anyway now she is a special friend who planted herself in my garden and I use her for all sorts of medicine both topical and internal and she's become a very very good friend… My landlord told me I can't grow her anymore after this year… And we shall see what we shall see… But I've always thought that the plants -All of them are ascended masters that people can do well to learn from if they don't abuse them like they do most everything
Love that connection that your plant lives nearby and inhabits the same environment as you :)

Smoked weed last friday in coffeshop in amsterdam when i was drunk, didnt like it, i felt insecure and air felt heavy.

Or just idk. . . don't do them? I've been off and on with weed for years. It always ends the same way. Depersonalization and panic attacks.
I took cannabis or MDMA a lot of times in one summer with the goal of getting over social anxiety and it worked really well! I realized so much in my own approach, attitude, what I say, what I don't say and how the other person reacts and now I'm not afraid to hit up normal conversation while sober, and it was fun!
Same here sir ^^' but with Psylocibin not cannabis, cannabis is not psychedelic enough for that ^^'
Which was it? Cannabis OR MDMA? 🤔 Two completely different substances. This sounds like garbage though and I'm sorry if it's true.
@@SirDydimus86 What is there to be sorry about? They became a better person and became more comfortable with their self and others
I had a co-worker who I would occasionally run into at the clubs. He never liked cannabis, but I could tell he was always on MDMA (or street ecstacy) or maybe GHB. He was just so friendly and warm and cool at the club compared to how he was at work. And that dude was a chick magnet. Henhad threesomes and such all the time. Even his girlfriends brought girls home with him. Maybe I should have done the same instead of smoking myself into a dull shell every time before I went out.

I established myself with Cannabis while hiking in the Grand Canyon around 2012, leaning into that kind of pain while in an incredible setting with only one-two puffs on a joint. -After taking 2 years to restore my back. Sun grown is best. daily user since 2011, 1-2 puffs is still all I do for 8 hours. And its strong. 1g will last me 3 days. I'm also alone for most of those hours. Forest living.
that's really cool to hear, a decade of use and you've kept it to a third of a g a day, sounds like You and Cannabis have a worthwhile and positive connection, Respect
damn you are so lucky you can keep it that way for so much time. I smoke like 1-2 weeks then stop 1-2 weeks, etc. After a 1-2 weeks break I smoke exactly the same as you in the beggining, 1g for 3 days, but the next days it starts to diminish, so I need minimum 1g a day until it starts to have no more effect and I stop.
@@RaduP3 Its all about control. Do it with limits than it will work, but its like with everything. Your body ajusts to it.
Cool.

Glad to hear others say how challenging, a challenging THC experience can be. I took a long tolerance break and then jumped back in with a 100mg/ml oil I made and knew very early on it was going to be rough... I have had profoundly 'strong' mushroom and Lucy experiences that were not remotely as challenging as some of my THC experiences... But it's just weed...
Reach out to 👆👆 he got all sort of psychedelics, shrooms, infused chocolate bars🍫🍫 and a nice page too.
THC has provided harder trips for me than anything else, as far as headspace goes. Walking down the street after a joint feels far stranger to me than flying through fractal landscapes in a k-hole.

@@AcrylicGoblin When the ordinary starts to seem bizarre, alien, or even 'fake', that's called derealization. It's almost always mixed with a deep sense of uneasiness, like something bad is about to happen. Most people don't realize that anxiety makes you feel 'strange' as you say or even crazy, which is why it's a legitimate psychiatric disorder.
@@jack11100 BRO! OMG bro, weed is like, real trippy for me bro.
These are the first people i have ever seen to express literary exactly my thoughts of this topic. 1000% true.
I’m going into my junior year of high school and when I was first introduced to cannabis was my sophomore year. For me it started off as something that I did just for fun and as a recreational thing but then when I started buying my own and smoking alone at home it was a completely different experience for me. It started to become a more meaningful experience and it started with it helping me have so much self love for myself and to be so grateful for the things I have. If continued to help me heal and to learn to love myself. Couple months later into the year, I went though a horrible breakup that I thought I wasn’t gonna heal from and it just left me broken. The next day I had considered using cannabis but didn’t think I should have because I felt that then it would become something I was gonna depend on and become a depressant. I decided that if I was going to smoke that I was only going to do it to have fun and try and get my mind off the breakup. Once the cannabis started to kick in, I started to become filled with so much self love again and I started to realize that maybe I could heal and that I just needed to accept that I wasn’t in the wrong and that I needed to be the bigger person and move on. The healing process was so amazing and it started to transition into a spiritual experience when I started to meditate and do things to raise my vibrations while high. It’s helped me to see that there’s so much more to life and to live in the now rather then stress about the future or past. It’s helped me realize that we aren’t our bodies and to have a deeper understanding of who I am as a person and how to grow spiritually. I’m now going into my junior year and currently use cannabis for the spiritual side it has and have the highest respect for it and am truly grateful for the experiences it’s given me. There are days where I do use it too for just recreational purposes since I’m home with a boring family for summer break. Overall, You should have the highest respect for this beautiful plant because the experiences it can bring you can be beautiful.
Remember to smoke safely and responsibly, happy high’s to all the fellow stoners🤍🍃✨
You sound like a spiritually mature teenager. I was somewhat like that in high school and then it got so much trickier to be consciously self aware throughout life's later experiences, and now I'm trying to embody that space again later in life. I hope you continue to grow and heal, and never lose touch with your higher self no matter where your life path takes you.💕
Thank you and I love, keep ballin playa
Safely and responsibly for a teen is an oxymorron.
So u got high is what u are saying?
Holy fuck are you a kid?
The only thing THC teaches you is which region of your brain contains the most CBD-1 receptors. THC binds to those receptors and effects that region. If you get fear & anxiety while stoned, it’s not a mirror up to your soul. It just means your Amygdala has the more CBD-1 receptors, which is totally random (genetics, nature, nurture, etc). Here’s how THC effects your brain regions if it predominantly bind to their CBD-1 receptors:
Nucleus Accumbens = Euphoria
Hypothalamus = Hunger & Sexual Desire
Amygdala = Anxiety & Fear
Hippocampus = Short Term Memory Loss
Spinal Cord (Brain Stem) = Less Pain/Fuzz Warm Body Buzz
Cerebellum = Loss of Coordination
Basil Ganglia = Slow Reaction Time
Cortex = Perceptual Disturbances like Psychotic Symptoms
If you get a favourable outcome, congrats; you won the lottery. For many others, THC binds to the Amygdala, Hippocampus, and Cortex. I, for example, reliably have a terrible experience, no matter how many times I’ve tried to enjoy it. That isn’t indicative of a deeper despair or longing or anything. It’s merely indicative of the fact that if anyone fucks with their Amygdala, it triggers a unilateral fight or flight responses (except for psychopaths, as their Amygdala’s are deformed/underdeveloped). That's not a sign you need to change anything about your life. That's a sign that you have a brain with more CBD-1 in your Amygdala than you Hypothalamus. So what? Is it my fault I have more receptors in that area? How exactly am I supposed to change that?
Folks with anxiety/fear/panic; my heart goes out to you. But, why is it that some can smoke weed and feel calm, relaxed and quell their otherwise pervasive anxiety? Isn't that the opposite effect? Aren't they avoiding their fears, too? Did the THC gods forget to show them the mirror? Or do they just randomly have more CBD-1 receptors in more favourable brain regions? I think it's the latter.
Having said that, moving through fear and bettering your life is always a good lesson. And learning such techniques can be quite helpful, which seems to be the point of their episode here. Although, these two talk about it like it’s their religion, with THC as the new "one true", which is “highly” suspect. #dadjoke

Appreciate your thorough review and totally agree!
Yogis smoke Cannabis and look where they are 🦄 Cannabis doesn’t make you Paranoid as such. It points out what you are not looking at. I remember walking past a policeman in Holland and no Paranoia as it is not frowned upon. People that don’t understand Cannabis make you feel you are doing something wrong but you are not 🕺
Finally! Someone is talking about paranoia on pot. Also it would great if they made super light THC strains just to be able to use it more just to grind the edges of life off. All these high strains are ridiculous.
Oh they do make strains with very high cbd, low thc, which I like a lot to take the edge off. Search around, I even love many strains of cbd flower, very little or no thc. Good luck on your quest, its worth it!!🤗
Was going to say something along those lines. There's plenty of cannabis flower out there with low THC levels. Seems those with lower T levels come with higher CBD levels.
I will say this though, if you live in a state where it isn't medically or recreationally legal, it's difficult to find what you're looking for and you're always at the mercy of your dealer.
Before Med and Rec I would go through a couple dealers a year because they always supply with stuff that wasn't helping with pain.
They often take it personally
@@kathygildea2025 I am in a med state and the high CBd and low thc sell out like hot cakes.
I think exactly the same way. Most people who think they are psychotic when smoking weed are actually having an intense psychedelic experience. It's just your unprocessed thoughts without a suppressing filter mechanism.
Yeah and that comes from smoking your feelings away. Dont believe these woke weirdos who promote drugs. I smoke weed over 10 years to.
Even the fear, anxiety and racing thoughts? It’s all there just kinda flows out like you say “unfiltered “
I hope you never witness a person that is having a psychotic episode from weed. There are also phyisically hemodynamic changes in their bodies. Don't talk out of arse pls
@@johnm2089you’re referencing the tiny minority. So stop chatting out your ass in a video targeted to general users.
Nah fck that, heavily smoking weed, esp if your younger, is a dumb idea, I did it, and I don't think it benefited me at all, I think it was the opposite, pyscedelics is the only "drug" that actually helped me longterm, cannibis didn't imo
I've been stating this for many years, that anxiety felt, is shadows being revealed once the days disctractions are dissipated and our mind returns to viewing of the self.
I love doing the daily mundane things in the zen and the most amazing lessons I've had has been in those moments. As you say, how you do one things with presence is how you do everything. Cannabis has been healing for my body and soul for many years and I am so grateful I've been open to use it and allow it to guide me too 🙏
So true…I feel it allows you to almost reflect whilst actually being aware of living in the “now” if that makes any sense…
A lot of what he said about plants and how to treat them came to me intuitively as a gardener but what he said about putting the seed in your mouth to inoculate it was new but makes perfect sense. I often ask a plant for guidance and/or insight when interacting. Not just medicinal plants but all plants. Trees are a great place to start. They REALLY REALLY send out love.

I'll get it right, I hope! If I had friends like you all, it would be easy, I'm stuck around people who are blind to healing their self. I'm there only light! Isn't that a kick in the pants, me, their only light. 😆😄Help me lord!!!
Emphasize set and setting, especially being around certain people that can completely off balance a particular experience. It's not cool to joke around or play stupid games when a person is in that state of being. I BELIEVE THE "UNIVERSE" shuns that inconsiderate and disrespectful attitude and behavior

Before weed was legal, I used to go to drink and draw clubs but I could never draw while drunk. I draw while stoned these days, and that is a spiritual experience. Weed and beer are very different, and the things weed does is nothing like how it is depicted in movies like Reefer Madness. In addition, no gateways have opened me to other drugs and I don't even drink any more.
Remember if you intake a lot of caffeine, pot can amplify the caffeine effect so you go on an anxiety rollercoaster that can even linger for days afterwards
Word? I felt like I could handle but I feel like being addicted to such a nice feeling is bad for me. I didn’t want to mix it with caffeine but I still did. A cup of caffeine is a lot for me
Same love the boost of caffeine but it's super addictive and I enjoy life without craving it more, look into improving your sleep and diet, you won't need to reach for the artificial energy boost when youre full of energy for life 😄 so worth it I promise
yes that is why i stop with coffe😊
Wow I had drank a bunch of coffee quickly at my last job and hit my weed pen and I freaked the hell out thinking I would die and legit almost did and since then it's been rocky to smoke
I had a beautiful journey with Santa Maria and I learned a lot from her. Especially how to detect my mental patterns and work with them. It also helped to recognize different emotions and I worked with the intensity of them in order to become a merely observer. She is one of my teachers and I wish for everybody to have this profound connection with her, to treat her in a respectful way. Really grateful that this conversations happen more often.
I do that too and have been doing from the beggining. that's what I love about my little mary. It's fun ocasionally to just be a legume and watch comedies, but what literally tickles my brain is the profound intuitions you can have in your emotions + thought patterns. Though I rarely hear people use it in this way. I swear, for me what captivated me about its effects is that besides you being chiller and it cancelling some of the worries bla bla, it seems in my observation that it also enchances CERTAIN (have no idea what) mind capacities. When I started smoking, I drew only as a child. started drawing and in 1 month maximum I did this work of art that for some newb it seemed impossible. But it wasn't impossible, I did it lol. Also used it some times to plan certain things or to watch videos on youtube and learn science or whatever. I swear I feel like my brain switched from regular gas to kerosen. Even though I get tired a lot faster and the energy spent in the thinking process are much larger, the results are also so much more profound and in-depth.
@@RaduP3 I feel you in this experience. Cannabis has certainly demonstrated (to me) its ability to bring upon an experience of complete abandon and of falling into the depth of the present moment.
It's as if it condenses energy inside of us to allow our focus to be concentrated at a higher volume on a specific task. Potentially how you were able to extract so much creative power out of yourself. It might've allowed you to access a natural form of expression you might've not given yourself permission to fall into before.
One recurring experience I have with Cannabis is crafting better ways to love and honor myself, and as a result of that I end up in similar situations where I allow myself to completely dedicate the energy I have on a specific area of life I'm excited about.
I have noticed that it's a challenging wave to surf at times because such intensity brings me to burn through my energy reserves quite fast. I have learned to stay mindful of how much energy I need to trade in order to feed those intense bouts of dedication. Sobriety allows me to execute on a calmer yet smoother level a lot of times, I have found.
@@thepathofplayfulness First of all, damn how good it is to read the message of someone that is properly articulate.
Second, yes, I agree with what you said about going in a place where I didn't give myself permission before. As life continued, that place became familiar and now thank God I allow myself to create from it whenever the need arises, either sober or after I smoked.
It seems that our experiences with it have some common areas from what you said.
@@RaduP3 Thank you haha, I spent a lot of time rewriting some sentences to make it palatable.
I'm happy you've found a way to find that place where you gave yourself permission.
And yes, it's great to hear about someone else with an experience I can relate to. Cannabis seems so unique to everybody that I rarely hear the same feedback.
@@thepathofplayfulness thank you man, and also agreed
Never seen this guy before, but I'm going to take the high road, and not make any Jesus Christ jokes.
Oooh I’m so happy someone is talking about this!!! I use a very small amount of cannabis almost every evening and reach incredible highs and connection with source. I’m just starting to listen to this video but I got so excited as I started listening that I just had to say THaNKs in advance! 🐿 😂 🙏 💜 (now back to your interview…)
I experiment with cannabis while a graduate student. It was the best time of my life. I smoked when I got home to write my papers and transcribe my therapy notes.🙂
😂😅🤣
I’m the same, a little every few days. With todays high THC strains, only one little bowl will assist one in getting to meditative states that may take longer without the cannabis to achieve. I feel the plant is here to help with the ascension process 💯, especially for the conscious and awakened collective.
Exactly I've been waiting for somebody to point this out
After watching this pod I'm never getting stoned again. From now on I "interact with cannabis"
Thats great but ive had my ass kicked every time for decades. Im done
Some people can’t deal with what the plant brings up, makes you face yourself
My bf says I’m nicer with cannabis 😅 things that normally would bother me or irritate me don’t when I’m on cannabis or I gain a different perspective of that thing. I thank the spirit of cannabis with all my heart cause it has brought me closer to my true authentic self.

While that is true, you are still reliant on a substance to take you there. You're connected to your true self smoking, but of course it goes when cannabis is absent. Through meditation, you can access these experiences and learn to control your mind, to not be bothered or irritated on the daily, to be greater. Making these skills, is like going to the gym. You need to build up the muscles to have lasting peace and joy. We can't get around not doing the inner work.
Stay off it for a few months, you'll find you really don't need it to be "nicer"
"MDMA ceremony in las vegas" bro took molly at a strip club and called it a ceremony lmaooo
😂 he did
That is a ceremony, in fact some might call it an annual ritual.
Weed can also be one of the most pernicious substances a fragile and vulnerable person can use. Forget the hype, It is to be used if at all, very sparingly, especially in currant potential strains. You can get flashbacks from it months later. It alters normal transmission and can cause serious paranoia, work and social dysfunction and identity confusion. Would you trust a mechanic working on an airplane you want to fly to not space out. Measure its comfort levels in public and see for yourself. It is worse as you think it is. And you should not use it while driving. Its not worth the risk. So smoke it at your own peril. This guy is not looking at damage stats.
Cannabis makes my anxiety skyrocket. I have had to completely recluse myself when I'm high because I can't stand to be around people.
Heavy breath work whilst super stoned - Cannahuasca...my body exploded into pure and electrifying vibration....not expecting it was REALLY REALLY FRIGHTENING Hahaha but it was eye opening for sure. Thank you Aubrey 👊
20 years ago i never heard of anxiety associated with cannabis.
Conversation around things tend to be stifled when idiots let other idiots control and prohibit things.
Psychedelics are great! I've heard so many people saying that magic mushroom helped them get through addiction and depression, don't know how true it is, but I'm still trying to find a reliable place to buy the spores or purchase the actual mushrooms, I've got terrible addiction

Did a 7 day cannabis cleanse, then reintroduced on 12/02/2022 and had a two week explosion of revelations, insights, and pure inspiration on a level I can only describe as life changing. After years of heart numbness, I can now face my traumas and bad experiences more clearly and positively that was like a fire hydrant of emotions. The clincher for me was when this first happened, and unbeknownst to my wife, she said for the first time in our relationship that “you look different” but wasn’t certain how(?). I’m so grateful for God’s medicine for spiritual, mental, and physical healing.

This is the best down to earth discussion. In the 60 years I've been on the journey of mother cannabis I've had the pleasure to watch and connect to.
Check out ( the church of ambrosia) its a cannabis and high dose shroom church
Oh, come on. If it makes you anxious, it's just as likely a biochemical response, not necessarily a deep insight.
I'm all about the gifts plants provide us with and the synergistic benefits given & received between plants & us, but sometimes it's possible to apply a deeper meaning where none exists. You also have to acknowledge that like plants, humans are extremely complex organisms and the symbiotic relationships we have with plants often create powerful pharmacological reactions within us, as well as powerful emotional & spiritual reactions.
I love that Aubrey will acknowledge the risk of these substances without throwing in the "don't try this at home" disclaimer. So many other youtubers will share their wonderful experiences but then say "I never recommend that anyone else try this." I feel like that kind of sends mixed messages and almost comes across like they're better than you. Aubrey seems to acknowledge that we're all adults and we can find our own way and make our own mistakes because in the end that's where the real growth is.
I never take the disclaimers that way, because I understand that they say that shit to keep from getting sued, or having their videos banned. I did not know that some took your viewpoint though. Interesting.
@@armadasinterceptor2955 that's true, and it is a shame that they have to worry about getting banned. I suppose it did come across a little harsh towards other youtubers but mostly I just meant it as a compliment towards Aubrey
Weed always gave me more insight and wisdom than acid or other hallucinogens. I think of it as sacred like you would ayuhasca. I wouldn’t be able to smoke it everyday. It gives me too much info into the nature of reality that I might not be prepared to see and takes me a long time to process the info I’m given
I don't know if it's just me, but if cannabis is legal in so many countries and it's good for medicinal purposes. Then why OH WHY is it illegal in other places, it's like I can watch people on youtube smoking in America etc and it's perfectly legal. But massively frowned upon in the UK and massively Illegal. It really fucks with my mind and makes me think it's just a plant that can be grown like any other plant in the world.
Such a timely video for me. Thank you! I’ve been meditating with cannabis for a for years now. I really appreciate the tips on how to connect with the medicine when you don’t know where/how it was grown. And I REALLY loved Aubrey’s comments about the various perspectives of God!
I love that the conversation around anxiety and weed is out in a much bigger realm because even though I always shrugged it off in the moment, and still do, I was always shamed for getting paranoid(ANXIOUS) and I hated it and it pushed me inward to the point that I don’t know hardly anyone I used to know aside from family. The mind is such a wild thing
❤❤
Same here. I often played the role of the "wet blanket" at parties and gatherings, and weed only enhanced my cautiousness. I tried not to express myself too much, but I always felt like I was not wanted.
It's nice to hear the spiritual explanations as to why you might be feeling anxious on weed, but has anyone monitored their biological readings (BP, oxygen saturation, pulse rate) while high? Could it be that cannabis has a biological effect that lowers your oxygen saturation and blood pressure while simultaneously increasing pulse rate and thusly creating a sensation of panic/anxiety at times?
Nah man its definitely the medicine connecting with your spirit and teaching it a lesson 🙃
increased heart rate definitely triggers the panic feeling. Combined with intensified feelings good and bad will even tigger more the downward spiral
This is a factor for sure
Generally, if your pulse rate increases, your blood pressure will respectfully increases. This is a result of consistent ejection fraction of your cardiac muscle. If your heart is functioning properly that’s how it works.
Had uncontrollable chills last time I got too high and definitely felt there was something physically happening with my body chemistry and not some higher spiritual lesson lol.
That conversation was so important for me. I've been smoking 4 joints per day. It has made my mood and even work productivity better, but I still feel like it distances myself from some interests and people. I'll try this weekend method, beginning with a "only at night" method, let's start with small steps :) Thanks for all this valuable information and inquires!
If it distances you from certain people or activities there’s usually a reason for me anyway, it just means I’m not aligned with these things and it’s better to do something I am aligned with🙏🏼good luck 🍀
It has only distanced me from judgmental family members that refuse to sit at the same table with me just because I decide to use cannabis.
Literally all these people who I love and feel sad that I can't connect with them, but it's true. They see it in such a blunt way that I can't believe open up to such narrow minded people. Around other cannabis users I'm very sociable and happy, this lets me know I'm not crazy lol
@@warrioroflight801 it distances me from any and every person. I only smoke when I am not going to be interacting with anyone for a few hours.
4 joints a day, that’s called being a burn out.
Man I can’t tell you how much it helps
Gotta treat it like an herb!
Cannabis absolutely is a gateway psychedelic.

Edit: And as is being described en masse in this comment section, psilocybin also cured something broken inside of me seemingly permanently. Something weed certainly couldn't and doesn't do for me.
Can't agree with this. Dreaming is incredibly important, especially REM sleep. We work through issues in our dreams. Dependancy on anything is giving away your power. I think we can talk our way into believing our unhealthy habits are to our benefit. I think most people who use weed everyday need to take the edge off of their day. I come from experience. Weed will take away the bad vibe but it will also take away the good vibe. The ultimate high is SOBERNESS. A high many people cant tolerate as it is painful to fully face our reality, though facing it completely is the answer to "raising our vibration" and living in truth.
Yeah this guy is so full of shit, but most guests on here are. Everyone talks about how great they are at smoking weed but how about "interacting" with real life and being good at that. They are just selling mysterious woo woo products using their own little marketing language. They have a few good points but mostly just take common sense ideas and make them complicated for naive people.
Can't agree with this. "The ultimate high" was when i went to the florida keys for spring break 2007 and me and the bros were smoking salvia and i lived 40 years as a cockroach with a wife and kids.
I quit 6 months ago after major hypertension attacks. Literally had the phone in my hand ready to call 911. I'm so happy to have all my dreams back & finally started lucid dreaming again. It's tough facing everything to be in a higher vibe, but I do still miss the ah-ha moment I would have on it. But NOT going back because I feel that's just going backwards. I feel like if your a higher vibe than cannabis, it's not going to work for you anyways.
@@QuietSpacePhotoStudioLLC how did you replace this habit? Any tips for someone trying to quit?
@@TheprogresBMX Find something healthy that you LOVE to do to keep you busy. I garden, meditate, started riding my bike & exercising a bit. Eat better & stop buying munchies lol. Took trips to the book store for coffee etc. It was pretty difficult, not gonna lie. And I actually tried to quit like a year ago but kept going back. A few bad experiences & slowly changing areas in my life took me a while to come to terms, but it was worth it. Try to give it up for a day, 2 days, every other day, then a week etc.. It gets easier the longer you can go without. Good luck!

Wow. The first 30 seconds flips every experience I've had with it on its head. It's always induced horrible panic attacks for me that come on immediately. It seems like a lot of people who are into it think they're pharmacists and would tell me it's because of this or that, nothing they would say would make any sense. This is a great explanation and very helpful. Thanks!
LOVE the fact that he's growing this amazing plant using organic techniques in LIVING soil! We do that at Fiore Cannabis in NV. I do wonder why there was no talk about terpenes and how you can help customize your high based upon what terps are in the plant. NV requires terpene testing as part of their lab tests, I wish all states did the same. Organic, living soil for medical and recreational use is the way to go. 100%
And what are the benefits? As somebody who quit smoking marijuana 10 years ago after a bad acid trip. I miss cannabis but even if I have the smallest puff from a joint it sends me to another dimension of paranoia and dark self reflection. I like the sound of the fact there may we strands that counter this reaction
@@andyeban Look into the different cannabinoids and terpenes online and their benefits. Then seek out strains dominant in them. And if you choose to consume again, use the smallest amount and go from there.

@@AdventureSam
that’s good to hear. I’m taking one day at a time. I smoked for so long , like 23 years and being permanently stoned all day and night so I’m craving still after 8 months but I’ll make it.
I think people need to talk more about paranoia, anxiety & the addiction qualities of cannabis. I've been smoking for over 40 years and throughout this time I have quit for a little over a month, two times per year and there have also been jobs and other situations that either required or generated a preference for a momentary abstinence.
Whether you just want cannabis or truly benefit from it or really need it, you still don't want it controlling you. Having to stay completely away from something because you have
lost or given up your control over it
is very unhealthy thing to do to your mental & physical health.
If you're addicted to cannabis then a break or total abstinence may be what you need. However, comparing cannabis to alcohol Is a kind of like comparing automotive travel to foot travel, You could call both of them forms of transportation However that's the end of their reasonable comparison.
Cannabis has some degree of addictive quality to persons that have addictive personality disorders. But is in reality beneficial to breaking peoples addictive habits, whereas alcohol is one of the more addictive things that we recreate with. Again, cannabis can be addictive. But studies have shown that it's more likely to be the activities done along with cannabis use that are the more addictive quality like the habits and rituals that people have trouble breaking.
Before quitting try making it an act of quick medical injestion without ritual for a few weeks before trying chemical quiting
This was the reframe I really needed 🙌

Also, as a cannabis grower myself, I learn much more from this plant by growing it and being with it than consuming it. By far! It is quite an experience cultivating this plant, especially when flower time comes around. The smells and sights in flowering of this plant are something very special to experience.
Did you find out what strains Ryan is growing? Is it like 1:1 THC:CBD strains?
Everyone freaks out over the word “quit” 😂😂😂
Wo! This interview has been so helpful! Cannabis has been my 'sacred medicine' for 20 years, but then I would always fall into the trap of overusing it because it would allow me to feel deeply connected with my authentic self and my creativity, and I would want to keep diving deeper without integrating. Now that I've just learned about Ryan's courses here, I will definitely be seeking further teaching from him. Thank you Aubrey for interviewing such wonderful beings as Ryan and being such a beautiful being yourself.

Where is the guidance in our culture, it's so hard to find people who are trying to work on themselves. Thanks for the wisdom.
I used to smoke at least 1/8 a day when I was young but I got locked up for a year and got out, tried to smoke, and totally freaked out with anxiety. I just decided I can’t smoke anymore.
Maybe its for the good. We all end up spending too much money on weed, become lazy and lose our masculine drive when smoking regularly
...Did you listen to the podcast at all?
I go several months without smoking. Then I’ll be at a campfire or party and smoke so much I feel like I’m tripping.
“Did I just say that out loud?!?”
“Omg I hope I wasn’t rude!”
“I hope my voice isn’t offending people.”
“I’m starving, omg it’s been 2hrs! No…10 minutes.”

Respect to anyone that actually uses this method of purposeful anxiety to grow, but ima pass. Every time I smoke weed it's like I become schizophrenic for 4 hours. That amount of stress on your fragile conscious mind is, in my opinion, very dangerous.
Cannabis induced mind states had help me realize that cannabis was not a drug that i should take on a daily basis (for me). And helped me get out of the addiction of thc. Now i just use it once a month or less. I'm really grateful for every thc induced mind state that i could be in.

This chat is fab!
confirming all that I have been contemplating 👍🏻🙏🏻
Big Love Aubrey,I really appreciate much that you share. But I wish you would stop calling our special plants,Medicines.
It implys that they actually have a physically healing
effect,like a doctors pill.
Conciousness is fundamental and our physical universe is simulated from a single substance.
Psychedelics can help people to open up their own conciousness so that they can work out the problems and solutions themselves.
The power comes from within and the individual should empower themselves even more if they are taught this truth.
Giving all the credit to "the medicine" or a higher power,creates the perspective of being a victim at the whim of external reality.
Psychedelics dont fix anything,they just create the potential for individuals to fix themselves.

Hmmm interesting perspectives on the anxiety induced from cannabis. I’ve studied plant medicine as well as plant spirit medicine. The message that I’ve received when the overwhelming feeling of paranoia and fear that come on through cannabis is that I am tapping into the collective consciousness and I’m experiencing the collective fear and paranoia. When the plant spirit is connecting me to these emotions, they do not feel like my own, I don’t go through my day having thoughts like that, only on cannabis. For me, it’s trying to help me develop empathy for the collective.
Interesting. I realized when I get high I say we have do this or that instead of I got to
Or it might be that your tolerance increased 😉
@@youngchap4941 I noticed that too. I feel like the "distance" between "thoughts" is so short and my consciousness links them faster and that's where the "we" is coming from. it's like the previous part of me with its content is communicating with the current (next one of the previous) one and they "talk" as parts between one another. I think it has something to do with dissasociation as the only time I noticed talking to myself in we while sober is when I am severely disassociated. while dissassociated, the psyche splits into multiple parts ( I saw inside me many active at the same time, up to let's say 4 or 5) and depending what caused the split, these parts are gravitating in circles around their "points of information" that created the dissasociation. (damn i hate to write this word in english) and if theoretically you would add these parts together in a way inside you by accepting them in their "apparent individuality" they get integrated in the psyche and body and with several new cycles (like a computer you know) the integration in continously more complex functions is achieved so you reach the "observator" state automatically since that's what integration is.
@@RaduP3 had to read that a few times to fully digest it. Srry I don't think I'll be able to articulate then write what you said but I get the jist of it. I don't have bad paranoia when doing a high dose but my anxiety I have will be a point of focus allot of times because I get so high I don't function like I normally would so that brings me away from the observator state. I have learned allot from weed and now know more of it's potential but I feel like I'm not fully connected to my heart to be receptive to what ever I learn I can't get emotionaly behind things like I should. I wanna do some mushrooms soon it's more in your face I guess and kinda forces and helps in that aspect then I can imagine what more I'll learn from weed.
@@youngchap4941 yes, I see what you mean with feeling like you remain emotionally behind. Don't forget to be gentle and to not force things for the purpose of knowledge because that "cuts" the body in many pieces. Be gentle and allow the story to unfold by itself. knowledge is a by product and love in the continuation of the circle of the real self is the only constant. take care brother.
I'd love to hear Wiz or Snoop talk about their cannabis experience with this level of awareness
I always have psychedelic experiences when I use weed, but that's because I use it as a tool for meditation. It's like I'm literally shaping my reality, but as a reflection of something so fundamentally inherent that it cannot be discerned normally except through meditation.
The comment about cannabis having many spirits, the understanding from many traditional cultures is that it opens the door of the mind more fully to receive more easily the different voices, or entities. They are like streams of consciousness that manifest within our realm to some extent. One must have sound understanding of metaphysics for this to make sense, but different dimensions of reality have their own substratum of consciousness. As such, those dimensions manifest worlds that do not interact directly (like two objects of the same dimension), but they still can influence each other, like the undercurrents of the ocean affecting the waves on the surface.
The heart, from a traditional perspective, can receive or connect with all substratums, and so all dimensions may manifest within the heart. The heart receives the voices of angels as well as demons. It is said that within the heart there are the seven doors of hell and the seven doors of heaven.
Muslims in North Africa, in their Sufi circles, use a type of cannabis called koch. Traditionally, the koch tree was called the Tree of God because of the great inspirations that it proffered upon its users. But it must also be kept in mind that the way these people used it was with the utmost of care, respect, and discipline. Their lives revolved around spiritual training and disciplining, subduing the animal impulses of the ego before the rational soul or the intellect. This would enable them to walk the spiritual path after opening the portal of the mind through meditation and koch.
What nonsense. I’m a scholar on Islamic history in North Africa and this is 100% made up.
after having a full ego death, cannabis has been extremely psychedelic for me, even in tiny doses
Yeah lsd and shrooms changed my high in so many ways! Even in tiny doses too
Absolutely. I used to do lots of lsd in the early 2000"s and cannabis is psychadelic to me.
