You Tube anything by Paul Stamets including Ted Talks and the Joe Rogan podcasts magic mushrooms ( Psilocybin ) are an untapped tsunami of benefits to millions of sufferers of depression anxiety panic attacks and general lack of well being, Pauls videos are an absolute must-watch for people traumatized by big pharma and the brutal side effects of pharmaceutical psychotropic drugs.
I speak from personal experience.

So true :thumb:
The only psychedelic I took was over 20 years ago during high school. It was never a big dose and just a few times. Maybe a few grams of the magic mushrooms. I got out of this stuff when I went to university and haven’t touched it since. However I now realize that it jailbroke my mind to allow me to tap into my consciousness and always left a part open to explore deeper if I ever wanted this. In the past 10 years I have been trying to actualize and pursue spiritual side just because it felt like the right thing to do and had the time while kids growing up. Now that I look back I can see how they helped me tremendously deal with some big trauma like experiencing war, having a few near death experiences with PTSD uncles and guns, coming here with barely anything to escape the war, not knowing language and wearing ripped and old clothes for a few years, watching a loved one die literally in front of my eyes eyes b/c of cancer plus extreme pain over a 3 month period including the psychological toll and trauma that took, seeing them fade and become very hurtful and I never left their side even when they got so nasty and selfish. I always managed to find a way to deal with it, deal with any type of depression and things just started making sense to me when I started to dig deeper. I didn’t really follow these spiritual gurus like Ekhart Tolle or Leo from Actualized.org or any deep meditation however after doing the work I arrived at similar insights and then found these guys and was like holly fuck balls I am not alone in this thinking. I think Eckart Tolle was close to suicide and chose to be reborn and had his awakening then instead of death. I don’t think he took psychedelics. The Actualized guy started as a hardcore atheist and now is hardcore woke and still awakening individual specifically when he started using psychedelics. I don’t think Leo is there yet because of his God obsession however is getting there and has great content if you filter his stuff.
Having said all this I think psilocybin helped me a lot through life and now it feels worthwhile regardless what happens if there is god or not. It doesn’t matter because I feel god through love and being present in the moment. Maybe it was a combo of traumatic experiences and brain being jail broken however I have never felt more content and happy as I do now. I feel love all the fucking time even when people try to hurt me. The Ego part of me is like bitch if you only knew what I went through you would cry lol but I just take it and look at them and show them love. The awakened part finds the beauty and love in the pain of the experience.
I think psychedelics have a huge potential to help people by jail breaking their mind and breaking down their programming and helping to overclock their CPU and raising consciousness. However, the person still needs to go through the process of awakening, feeing pain, life, introspecting, asking questions and digging as deep as they can follow the rabbit hole. Effort and will is still needed to find your truth. Pain will help motivate you and the heart will be your compass to your absolute truth and raising your consciousness will be your journey as cheezy at it sounds. However make sure you have a heavy grounded anchor because a lot of people can get lost in this shit like what happened to Leo from Actualized.org when did a retreat of 30days of taking 5meoDMT he almost died pursuing god and luckily his friends and family were his grounded anchor. Think of inception and the spinning top, the train and girl jumping from the hotel room. Be careful with this stuff.
