Psykedeliska droger är på uppsving och ses av vissa som rena mirakelmedicinen mot diverse psykiska besvär. Men att beskriva upplevelserna tycks fortfarande utom räckhåll, konstaterar Fredrik Sjöberg. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Denna essä sändes första gången i januari 2020. Betänk följande scenario: en grottmänniska från stenåldern förflyttas genom en hypotetisk tidsresa till Centralstationen i Stockholm, säg en fredagseftermiddag. Han står där i vänthallen och förundras. Kanske går han också en sväng på stan i rusningstrafiken, varefter han så teleporteras tillbaka till grottans dunkel, där kamraterna nyfiket inväntar hans reseberättelse. Vad ska han säga? Han saknar ord för nästan allt han upplevt. Rulltrappor, mobiltelefoner, trafikljus, tåg – och flygplan som går in för landning på Bromma. Inget av detta finns varken i berättarens eller åhörarnas föreställningsvärld. Inga ord kan ge rättvisa åt upplevelsen, och att enbart säga något om träden på Klara kyrkogård, som tycktes bekanta, känns lite futtigt. Kanske påstår han sig ha träffat gudar, om så bara i form av barska ordningsvakter i blåa uniformer, men troligare är nog ändå att han ger upp alla försök att berätta och istället hemfaller åt ganska allmänt hållna utrop av typen ”Jävlar, vilken grej!”. Ja, eller motsvarande på stenåldersspråk. Lyssnarna i grottan ser klentroget på varandra medan resenären ler ett inåtvänt leende. Ungefär så kan man gestalta ett återkommande bekymmer för de forskare som studerar effekterna av psykedeliska substanser. LSD och så, ni vet. Försökspersonerna har helt enkelt väldigt svårt att beskriva sina upplevelser. När de väl återvänder från en tripp, ofta i noga kontrollerad laboratoriemiljö, sitter de ändå bara där och flinar och uttalar banaliteter i stil med ”Kärleken är allt!”. Professorerna tar sig för pannan. Lika fullt är denna vetenskap mycket lovande. Under många år låg verksamheten i träda, delvis på goda grunder, men under senare år har denna akademiska öken åter börja blomma. LSD, psilocybin och liknande kemikalier blir allt intressantare för psykologer och medicinare som sysslar med depressioner, tvångssyndrom, ångest och beroendesjukdomar. Nog finns även de gamla flumtomtarna kvar, ofta kännetecknade av större frisyr än förstånd, men på det hela taget är hallucinogenerna på väg tillbaka in i den vetenskapliga värmen. Det var trots allt där alltsammans började. Det var i slutet av 1930-talet; den schweiziske kemisten Albert Hofmann på läkemedelsbolaget Sandoz framställde då ett lysergsyrederivat som gavs beteckningen LSD. Som så ofta hittade man inga praktiska användningsområden, men några år senare blev Hofmann av misstag sin egen försökskanin. Han råkade få i sig en gnutta av ämnet och upplevde historiens första LSD-tripp. Snart producerade Sandoz enorma mängder LSD som, i hopp om kommersiella tillämpningar, distribuerades gratis till universitet över hela världen. Under femtiotalet och in på sextiotalet var forskningen intensiv, och förhoppningen var att de psykedeliska substanserna skulle bli för psykiatrin vad mikroskopet var för biologin och teleskopet för astronomerna. Om drömmarna, som Freud sa, var kungsvägen till det undermedvetna, ansågs behandling med LSD vara något av en motorväg. Vid det laget hade man även återupptäckt psilocybinet, ett svampgift med urgamla anor inom högkulturerna i Mellanamerika. De spanska erövrarna försökte ihärdigt utrota kunskapen om dessa magic mushrooms, antagligen på grund av att giftet från bara några få svampar gav så starka, andliga upplevelser att katolikerna låg i lä, hur mycket rökelse och tingeltangel de än försökte med. Konkurrensen blev kort sagt för hård. Men svamparna dök alltså upp igen och tilldrog sig neurokemisternas intresse. Vetandet om de psykiska sjukdomarnas biokemiska grunder, som senare skulle avkasta moderna antidepressiva läkemedel, utvecklades fort under de här åren, delvis genom dessa experiment. Försökspersonernas erfarenheter var onekligen märkliga; de rapporterade om att jaget liksom löstes upp, om surrealistiska rymdresor och ytterst övertygande känslor av samhörighet. Ofta förekom även synestesi, alltså förmågan att se ljud och höra färger. Konstnärerna var inte sena att haka på, och när sedan psykologiprofessorn vid Harvard, Timothy Leary, introducerade substanserna inom hippiekulturen gick det snabbt utför. John Lennon, Bob Dylan och en hel armé av andra yngre trallgökar gjorde reklam, och när så The Summer of Love randades i San Francisco 1967, hade myndigheterna redan förbjudit all användning. Det får man förstå. För även om varken LSD eller psilocybin var beroendeframkallande så gav de ändå oönskade effekter. Viljan att kriga i Vietnam, till exempel, avtog betänkligt. Den seriösa forskningen pågick ännu en tid, men snart var det stopp även där. Tusentals vetenskapliga rapporter föll i glömska. Först vid millennieskiftet började man gräva upp dem igen, och vad som sedan hände berättas boken Psykedelisk renässans av den amerikanske författaren Michael Pollan. Jämförelsen med Renässansen, då man återupptäckte antikens litterära skatter är välfunnen. Så nu är man på det igen, och eftersom tekniken har gått framåt, liksom forskningen om serotonin och andra signalsubstanser, kan man i dag säga en hel del om vad som faktiskt händer i hjärnan under en psykedelisk tripp, samt även formulera goda hypoteser om hur det kan komma sig att sådana utfärder ibland har gynnsam inverkan på människor som är låsta i ältande och tvångstankar. Till historien hör att Michael Pollan testar själv, och fastän han tar hjälp av erfarna reseledare är sinnesintrycken fortfarande hopplöst svåra att återge, vilket författare som Aldous Huxley och Ernst Jünger insåg redan för längesen. Intressantare är vad vetenskapen har att säga. Vad händer till exempel när man stoppar in en påtänd person i en apparat för magnetröntgen, eller mer korrekt magnetisk resonanstomografi? Hypotesen var att hjärnaktiviteten skulle vara kaotisk och starkt förhöjd, men det visade sig vara tvärtom. Särskilt svag var aktiviteten inom det så kallade standardnätverket, ett för tänkandet centralt nätverk som kan liknas vid en orkesterdirigent, vars uppgift är att hålla samman systemet och dämpa hjärnans mer bångstyriga tendenser. Beskrivningarna av jagupplösning, och känslor av samhörighet med allt och alla, tycks ha att göra med denna inaktivering av standardnätverket. Som om personens ego stängdes av. Denna inre dirigent finns för övrigt inte från början; små barn antas därför befinna sig på en psykedelisk tripp för jämnan, vilket väl ungefär alla föräldrar någon gång har anat. Hjärnan kan jämföras vid en dator; när den hänger sig behövs en omstart. Så förklaras varför LSD och annat i den vägen kan bryta behandlingsresistenta depressioner och tvångsmässiga missbruk samt, fascinerande nog, även döende människors ångest. Entusiasterna påminner visserligen om hälsofanatiker som har sett ljuset i form av LCHF eller vad det nu kan vara, så man bör nog inte helt byta ut kantarellerna mot slätskivlingar i släktet Psilocybe, men ändå; andra illegala droger – opiater, amfetamin och så vidare – förekommer lika ofta som läkemedel. Så varför inte också psykedeliska substanser? Om inte annat kan sådana kemiska äventyr säkerligen ersätta en del av de resor som ändå inte ger mycket mer än flygskam, tarmparasiter och foton av elefanter som ingen vill se. Fredrik Sjöberg, författare och biolog Litteratur Michel Pollan: Psykedelisk renässans – den nya vetenskapen om medvetandet, döden, beroende, depression och transcendens. Översättning av Tom Sköld. Fri tanke förlag, 2019.

A heroic dose, as McKenna described, involves consuming five grams of dried Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms in a controlled, distraction-free environment. But as transformative as this journey can be, it is not without challenges. Matthew Johnson, a psychiatry expert from Johns Hopkins, explains how these experiences can oscillate between euphoric highs and deeply unsettling lows. With his insights and others, we emphasize the importance of a trusted guide or sitter to ensure safety and stability throughout the process. We'll also hear from individuals like Sam Harris, a neuroscientist and bestselling author, who recounts his own experiences with a heroic dose. From moments of profound introspection to the necessity of integrating these lessons into daily life, Harris highlights how preparation, acceptance, and mindfulness are key to navigating such transformative experiences.

In this episode of Propaganda By The Spore, we're talking Psilocybe Mushrooms! This episode has been in the works since early 2021, we hit lots hiccups and logistical snags along the way, but we're happy to finally get this episode out into the world. We start off with a short interview with Mazatec historian and archivist Inti Garcia Flores about the role of Psilocybe mushrooms in Mazatec culture. Follow him on Instagram and check out his project The History and Memory of the Mazatecas (also on IG) Next we're onto a longer interview with freelance scientist Alan Rockefeller that covers Psilocybe taxonomy, biology, genetic fingerprinting and many other topics. You can follow Allan's work a many different platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Inaturalist and others.  

Era um sábado nublado em São Paulo. A gente estava no parque já tinha mais ou menos uma hora. Eu deitei na grama, sentindo uma… felicidade? Não sei. Mas era bom. As folhas das árvores em volta pareciam mais 3D do que o normal. Eu conseguia ver a distância entre cada folha e as outras, e eu nem estava tão perto assim das árvores. Aí eu olhei para cima… e vi.O teto do estúdio. Sabe Show de Truman, o Show da Vida? Onde o Jim Carrey descobre que ele passou a vida toda preso em um reality show? Pois é, eu vi o teto do estúdio. Só que como a gente está em 2024 e não em 1998 — que é quando o filme foi feito — o teto do estúdio não é feito de passarelas de metal e holofotes. A tecnologia é aquela do Mandalorian, uma grande tela de LED em volta de tudo, que se move para compensar a perspectiva da câmera. O céu, na verdade, é só uma tela de TV.Eu ri, porque eu sabia exatamente o que estava acontecendo e que, é claro, o céu não é de LED nem nada, era só uma ilusão visual criada pelo Psilocybe cubensis, o famoso “cogumelo mágico” que eu tinha ingerido na hora que estacionei o carro. Não que eu estivesse viajandão, muito louco nem nada, eu estava totalmente no controle de tudo que estava acontecendo. Tanto que um pouco antes, enquanto eu estava ali relaxado na grama, eu vi um cara suspeito vindo para o lado onde a gente estava e peguei rápido minha bolsa que estava dando bobeira no chão.Falar de cogumelos mágicos que nem a gente vai fazer hoje aqui no Boa Noite Internet — e falar também de outras substâncias psicoativas como LSD, ecstasy, ayahuasca é complicado. Porque a gente está entrando no território da ilegalidade ou, pelo menos, da não regulamentação. Não pode. Quer dizer, pode. Porque Psilocybe cubensis dá em qualquer lugar e o Brasil não tem regulamentação específica sobre cogumelos. Mas eu não sei de nada, não estou falando para você fazer nada, tá? Tudo o que eu posso dizer é que o cogumelo mágico mudou a minha vida. Eu hoje em dia faço microdose, uma quantidade de cogumelo que não causa efeito nenhum, não vejo teto do Show de Truman nem nada, mas eu fico…Bem. Quem me ajudou a entender isso inclusive foi uma conversa que rolou no Discord do Boa Noite Internet enquanto o pessoal trocava ideia sobre psicodélicos. Na época da conversa eu já estava começando na microdose, achava legal, mas não sabia o porquê. Aí veio a informação que explodiu a minha cabeça: um dos lugares onde o cogumelo mágico mais atua é na rede de modo padrão, que sim, você já ouviu eu falar dela aqui no Boa Noite Internet, no episódio A voz na minha cabeça. A rede de modo padrão é a parte do cérebro que controla o ego e, por isso, gera essa desgraçada dessa voz. E com a microdose, não é que elas sumiram, não é que nunca mais tive ansiedade nem depressão… Mas deu uma acalmada. Às vezes ela fica só falando amenidades e me deixa em paz.O bom daquele dia no parque não foi ver o teto do show da vida nem nada. Foi ter uma pequena amostra de um efeito famoso dos psicodélicos: a dissolução do ego. Cada pessoa tem a sua experiência, cada um é seu cada um, mas no meu caso foi entender que eu não sou nada, eu só estou. Que viver é pular de um estado para outro e que — pelo menos ali vivendo a magia do cogumelo — eu podia deixar de ser o que eu acho que sou e… mudar. Não que eu vá “manifestar” que agora eu um rico CEO, nada disso. É só que a gente não precisa se prender a estados emocionais.No fim da viagem — que, de novo, foi totalmente sob controle, eu sabia exatamente o que estava acontecendo, eu não vi elefante rosa nem nada — quando acabou eu entendi a expressão “abraçar árvore”, porque eu estava com uma vontade real de agradecer a companhia de uma árvore que ficava perto de onde eu estava. Eu entendi que eu e ela não somos muito diferentes.Depois desse dia eu virei o quê? Eu virei o cara chato que só fala de cogumelinho. Você teria 5 minutos para ouvir a palavra do Psilocybe cubensis? Foi numa dessas que um amigo me deu de presente de aniversário o livro Psiconautas - Viagens com a Ciência Psicodélica Brasileira, escrito pelo Marcelo Leite, colunista da Folha de São Paulo. O livro traz histórias de pesquisadores e pacientes brasileiros que usam os psicodélicos não para ficar mucholokos e ver o teto do universo, mas para conseguir lidar melhor com doenças como depressão, dependência química e até stress pós-traumático.Eu devorei o livro e resolvi chamar o Marcelo para conversar no Boa Noite Internet, me aprofundar em alguns assuntos e dar uma tietada básica nesse cara que tem mais de 40 anos de carreira no jornalismo.O papo foi tão bom, tão bom, que a gente quase estourou as duas horas de estúdio e muita coisa acabou de fora nessa edição — e ainda assim esse episódio ficou grandinho, você deve ter visto aí no seu tocador né?Mas se você apoia o Boa Noite Internet é só acessar aí o seu feed personalizado, secreto, pessoal e intransferível e escutar a entrevista completinha. Assim você não só ganha acesso a vantagens exclusivas, também ajuda o Boa Noite Internet e mostra para o mundo que histórias como essas que a gente conta são importantes.Lembrando que é isso, só um papo, se você achou interessante o que a gente falou aqui, procure se informar mais, faz aquela consulta médica para ver se a sua saúde está em dia, se não tem contra-indicação nem nada, aquelas coisas.(Links do episódio no site.)

Although many shrooms claim to be “more potent than usual,” only one is so infamous that it's changed the phrase “A cube is a cube” to include “...except for Penis Envy.” Also known as PE, these so-called “penis mushrooms” have a history full of interesting twists, and are consistently reported to be magnitudes stronger than other psilocybin-containing mushrooms. When PE was crossed with - most likely - Albino A+ Psilocybe cubensis, the result was a variety more potent than the most potent. When you're looking to buy Penis Envy cubensis, exercise caution!

In this episode of Psychedelics Weekly, Joe and Kyle once again record in person, diving into novel compounds, changing opinions, Bicycle Day, and more.  They start by dissecting a very recent controversy around The Church of Psilomethoxin and whether the sacrament they label as psilomethoxin – supposedly created by adding 5-MeO-DMT to the substrate of cultivated Psilocybe mushrooms – actually contains any psilomethoxin in it. Usona Institute published a paper last week reporting on their analysis of a sample they allegedly collected from the Church, which only showed what we'd see in a sample of a typical psilocybin-containing mushroom. While the Church has issues with Usona's data collection, analytical methods, and motives, they also reiterate a main component of the church: that their "claims to the existence of Psilomethoxin, at this time, are solely based on faith," and bolstered by their “own direct experiences with the Sacrament.” It's a very interesting story that touches on faith, consent, personal safety, and the harms of the drug war, which Joe covered extensively in a Twitter Space last night with Andrew Gallimore and the writer of a very critical article, Mario de la Fuente.  They also discuss:  -a Time magazine article about the mystery of Long COVID, and how many believe the anti-inflammatory and neuroplastic benefits of psychedelics could be the answer;  -how Bicycle Day may soon become more popular than 4/20, likely due to society's warmer reception to the life-changing effects of psychedelics (as opposed to their propagandized and unmoving beliefs about cannabis);  -how some analysts believe that seven in 10 ketamine companies will likely face financial challenges as the industry grows too quickly;  and why Snoop Dogg apparently microwaves blunts before smoking them (and does that actually do anything?). www.psychedelicstoday.com

J'y expose le discours de Terence McKenna sur les pcilocybes et sur les elfes machines. La question est aussi posée de savoir d'où viennent et ce que sont ces elfes machines. Finalement, je conclus cette partie sur les Entités en faisant la synthèse de nos connaissances actuelles. La partie suivante sera dévolue à exposer les différentes théories sur la source de l'information délivrée par les Entités. Mon livre traite de la question des esprits du point de vue d'un ethnologue. Qui sont-ils? Que disent-ils? Que nous veulent-ils? Que font-ils? Je pars de l'hypothèse que les esprits existent et je tente une ethnographie, c'est-à-dire leur description. Je me réfère aux textes et témoignages de l'ethnologie bien sûr, mais aussi de la préhistoire et du folklore aussi bien ancien que moderne. Je visite les textes des chercheurs qui se sont penchés sur cette question. Dans un second temps, je passe en revue les hypothèses qui peuvent expliquer la source de l'information qui nous vient des esprits. Finalement, j'élabore une méthodologie d'enquête ethnographique des habitants du "Monde Invisible" afin de récolter des données fiables pour une meilleure compréhension du phénomène. J'y introduis le terme d'ethnonaute pour désigner des ethnologues spécialement formés et entraînés pour enquêter dans cet univers inconnu.

In this episode of Psychedelics Weekly, David is joined by Kyle, who is finally home after a lot of traveling, to talk shop and dig into the articles they found the most interesting this week.  They begin with the news that Paul Stamets now has a species of mushroom named after him (Psilocybe stametsii), then take a look at a recent self-report study called “Prevalence and associations of challenging, difficult or distressing experiences using classic psychedelics,” which aimed to collect data on just how many psychedelic users (in this study, anyone who had ever tried a psychedelic) felt that they had had a challenging or difficult experience. They discuss the results and highlight some interesting data: that LSD was the most commonly associated substance, that smoking cannabis was one of the most commonly reported interventions, and of course, the question of whether or not these experiences were beneficial.  They then talk about Synthesis Institute closing its doors, the possible hope Synthesis could have, and the sadness in this – when businesses fail, it's easy to look at numbers and profit margins and be dismissive, but we forget the people involved; not just at Synthesis, but the hundreds of would-be students.  And lastly, they look at an article about a California-based startup called the Reality Center, which uses a combination of pulsing lights, sounds, and vibrations to create a drug-free but seemingly very psychedelic experience, reminding us yet again that you do not need a substance to achieve  non-ordinary states of consciousness. www.psychedelicstoday.com

Detectives de la Brigada de Investigación Criminal La Ligua de la Policía de Investigaciones de Chile, detuvieron a una mujer de 21 años de edad, la que se dedicaba a la comercialización de hongos alucinógenos de la especie Psilocybe, en la comuna. El trabajo de análisis criminal e inteligencia policial desplegado por los efectivos de la PDI, permitió recopilar antecedentes que indicaban que la imputada se dedicaba a vender este tipo de sustancias, utilizando para su fin las redes sociales para captar a potenciales compradores. De esta manera, los oficiales llegaron hasta el domicilio de la aprehendida, lugar desde el que fueron incautados 48,99 gramos de setas alucinógenas, dinero en efectivo, una balanza digital y un kit de cultivo de las especies que se encuentran prohibidas por la Ley 20.000. Por instrucción del Ministerio Público, la mujer quedó a disposición del Juzgado de Garantía de La Ligua para ser formalizada. Cuña: jefe Bicrim La Ligua, subprefecto Cristian Fierro.

The Blue Meanie is a strain of psilocybin mushrooms known for its blue coloring and high potency. This strain gets its name from the blue bruising that occurs on the mushrooms when they are handled or damaged, which is due to the oxidation of psilocin. The Blue Meanie is known to have a high potency and a long-lasting trip, with effects that can last up to six hours. The Blue Meanie is popular among experienced users due to its potency and long-lasting effects, but it is not recommended for beginners or those with a low tolerance for psychedelics. The Blue Meanie strain is native to Australia and is a subspecies of the Psilocybe cubensis mushroom. This strain is grown and cultivated both commercially and by hobbyists, and is available for purchase in many countries around the world. The Blue Meanie is often used for recreational purposes, but it is also used for spiritual and therapeutic purposes by some individuals. When consumed, the Blue Meanie can produce a range of effects, including visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in perception, heightened senses, and changes in thought processes. Some users report feeling more connected to nature and having a greater appreciation for life after using the Blue Meanie, while others report feeling more introspective and introverted. Like all psychedelics, the effects of the Blue Meanie can vary greatly from person to person, and are dependent on factors such as dose, set and setting, and individual factors such as mood, personality, and past experiences. In conclusion, the Blue Meanie is a high potency strain of psilocybin mushrooms that is popular among experienced users due to its long-lasting effects. This strain should be used with caution, especially by beginners or those with a low tolerance for psychedelics, as it can produce strong and intense experiences. If you are interested in using the Blue Meanie, it is important to educate yourself about the risks and benefits, and to be aware of the laws and regulations regarding the use of psychedelics in your area.

In this episode of Health411, host Dr. Jonathan Karp and producer Daniel Geller discuss the therapeutic potential of psilocybin. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found with highest potency in the Psilocybe genus of fungi. Although used recreationally for its hallucinogenic properties, magic mushrooms also show promise for the treatment of a wide variety of mental ailments including addiction, major depression, and PTSD.

In this episode we talk with the mycologist and notoriously kind human being Alan Rockefeller about mycology, Psilocybe diversity, getting people interested in biodiversity & the biosphere, turning a sedan into a DNA lab, teaching cops about fungal diversity (against their own will as unintentional pupils), and how to teach yourself mycology. This episode is ad-free on the Crime Pays Patreon.

Joining me is philosopher, and to my mind, psychedelic eco-futurist, Daniel Pinchbeck. Daniel shares about his personal journey, and the many positives (and some negatives) of psychedelic drugs such as Ayahuasca. We also discuss what sort of societal structure and government is best suited for the integration of healthy use and integration of plant medicines in modern society.Daniel is the author of Breaking Open the Head; 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl; Notes from the Edge Times; and How Soon Is Now. In 2007, he launched the web magazine Reality Sandwich and co-founded Evolver.net. Daniel hosted a talk show, Mind Shift, on GaiamTV, exploring the evolution of technology and spirituality, and our potential for the future. He has been a speaker at conferences around the world, and co-hosted retreats to Costa Rica, with the Secoya, tribal people from the Amazon in Ecuador, and Colombia, with the Kogi and Aruak people. His life and work were featured in the 2010 documentary, 2012: Time for Change. http://www.pinchbeck.io/PLEASE HELP THE CHANNEL GROW • SUBSCRIBE, like, comment, and click the Notification Bell so you don't miss a show.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.11.15.516655v1?rss=1 Authors: Schmitz, G. P., Chiu, Y.-T., König, G. M., Kostenis, E., Roth, B. L., Herman, M. A. Abstract: Psilocin, the active compound in Psilocybe sp. mushrooms, is a serotonergic psychedelic that has recently gained renewed interest due to its potential as a therapeutic tool. Despite promising clinical findings, the underlying signaling mechanisms and brain region-specific effects of psilocin and other psychedelic drugs remain unclear. Psilocin, like other psychedelic compounds, is an agonist at many serotonin and other biogenic amine receptors; however, activation of serotonin (5-Hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) 2A receptors (5-HT2ARs) is understood as the main molecular target for the psychoactive effects in animals and humans. 5-HT2ARs are abundantly expressed in the prefrontal cortex (PFC); however, the biochemical actions of psilocin on PFC neurons remain poorly understood. In this study, we used in vitro slice electrophysiology to examine how psilocin acutely alters the activity and electrophysiological properties of layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the mouse PFC. Focal application of psilocin (10uM) onto nonspecified Layer 5 Pyramidal neurons in the prelimbic PFC of C57BL/6J mice produced variable effects on firing (increase, decrease, or no change). 5-HT2AR layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the mouse prelimbic PFC were identified via labeling in a 5-HT2A-ERT2-Cre mouse crossed with an Ai9 tdTomato reporter. Focal application of psilocin increased firing in all identified 5-HT2AR neurons but did not result in any significant changes in synaptic transmission. Overall, the results demonstrate that psilocin evokes strong firing changes in the PFC that are 5-HT2AR and Gq dependent, thereby providing valuable insights into the effects of psilocin on a brain region implicated in mediating psychedelic drug actions.

Nick talks to pharmaceutical microbiologist Dr. Dirk Hoffmeister, who is professor at the Hans Knöll Institute in Germany. Professor Hoffmeister has a background in botany and mycology, the study of fungi. His lab studies various aspects of fungal biochemistry & molecular biology, including the biochemistry and molecular genetics of psilocybin production in magic mushrooms. We spoke about various topics in mycology, mostly related to Psilocybe mushrooms. This included: how psilocybin is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan; the ecological reasons for why some mushrooms produce psilocybin; why magic mushrooms turn a vibrant blue color when they are physically damaged; the production of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) by certain species; the ecology of Psilocybe mushrooms; other areas of mycology that his lab studies.Support M&M:Sign up for the weekly Mind & Matter newsletter[https://mindandmatter.substack.com/?sort=top]The Amino Co., shop science-back amino acids supplements.

Today we bring on Dr. James Fadiman, arguably the person responsible for making microdosing magic mushrooms popular. We talk about the current research, the benefits, safety, dosage, set, setting, history and so much more. Ever wanted to try microdosing? Don't know where to start? Long time microdoser and want to hear the current research and where we are in the industry? Totally skeptical? Alex tries to play devils advocate on this episode to try to poke holes into the legitimacy of microdosing and we talk about how to create better double blind placebo controlled human clinical trials in the future. Are you of the sub perceptual microdose camp or the above perceptual microdose camp? We argue both sides and give pros and cons for each. What's the best way to store your microdoses? What about extraction? What's the shelf life before they start to loose their potency? Are the stems more potent than the caps? Besides psilocybin and psilocin, what other compounds are in the mushrooms? What about microdosing other species besides Psilocybe cubensis? What's the future of microdosing psilocybin? Oh you bet we cover all these juicy questions and more in this episode! 

Today on Mushroom Hour we have the privilege of speaking with chef, forager, and biology geek Graham Steinruck. Graham has worked in the restaurant industry in with many of Colorado's most talented chefs and was the former owner of a wild mushroom distribution company called Hunt & Gather that supplied wild harvested ingredients to chefs in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. He was also the host of a podcast called ‘A Fermented Affair' where he discussed fermented food and drink as well as mushrooms. He served as the 2012 editor of SporesAfield, the newsletter for the Colorado Mycological Society, as well as the vice president of the club in 2011. He is a presenter and chef for the Wild Mushroom Dinner at the Telluride Mushroom Festival. Recently his recipes were featured in the cookbook ‘Wild Mushrooms: A Cookbook and Foraging Guide' and will be featured in the new ‘Fantastic Fungi Cookbook' scheduled to be published later this year. Graham is a Colorado Department of Health and Environment Wild Mushroom Identification Expert and continues to teach courses on mushroom identification and foraging, cooking, and cultivating various culinary and medicinal fungi.    TOPICS COVERED:   Discovering Mycology in Denver, a Formative Moment with PorciniBalance Between Permissive & Prohibitive Philosophies Around Commercial Foraging   Forest Management Practices   Foraging Permits – the Good and the Bad   Wild Mushroom Licenses   Liability in Commercial Foraging    Legal Frameworks Around Foraging   Advice to Find Legal, Abundant Forage Grounds   Making Mushrooms the Star of the Culinary Show   Porcini Mushroom Bisque, Chanterelle Succotash   Underappreciated Hawk's Wings and Snow Fungus    Mollusks and Mushrooms   The Genius of Simple Culinary Preparations   Mycouprrhizal Mushroom Farm   EPISODE RESOURCES:   Graham Steinruck IG: https://www.instagram.com/instantgrahamster/   Myco-Uprrhizal Mushroom Farm: https://www.instagram.com/myco_uprrhizal/   Wild Mushrooms Cookbook and Foraging Guide: https://islanderbookshop.com/products/wild-mushrooms-a-cookbook-and-foraging-guide-by-kristen-and-trent-blizzard    Fantastic Fungi Community Cookbook: https://bookshop.org/books/fantastic-fungi-the-community-cookbook/9781647222956    Psilocybe azurescens (fungus): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_azurescens

Today on the Mushroom Hour Podcast we are honored to be joined by Terri Smith, the CEO of Wake Jamaica. Terri's passions lie in making wellness possible for underserved people and communities. As a young mother recently arrived in Canada, she completed her studies in Literature and Social-Cultural Anthropology and developed her expertise in Labour Market re-entry for injured workers and economically-disadvantaged adults. Terri returned to Jamaica to care for an elderly relative, and during that time she and her husband took up a mushroom farm using a unique proprietary lemongrass-bamboo substrate. Terri believes in a triple bottom line approach to growing any of her projects: every community entered must be better when we leave - financially, socially and environmentally. I'm so excited to here about her work in helping rural & underserved communities to find empowerment through mushroom cultivation and all the ways that her company Wake is contributing to the democratization of wellness.   TOPICS COVERED:   Childhood in Rural Jamaica  Inspired to Train Women how to Change Their World with Mushrooms  Seeing a Need to Heal People and Environments in Rural Jamaica   Economic Policies Impacting Health of Jamaica's People and Environment  Becoming Jamaica's Mushroom Queen  Adapting Cultivation Techniques to Meet the Needs of Communities  Improving Understandings of Agriculture through Mushroom Cultivation  The Power Multiplier of Empowering Women in Poor & Rural Communities  Connecting with Wake Network  Landscape of Psilocybin Mushroom Industry in Jamaica  History of Psilocybin Mushrooms in Jamaica  How Wake's Programs Integrate and Support Local Communities in Jamaica  Plant and Mushroom Medicines Nothing New for Indigenous Cultures  Future of Scaling Wake Network Programs in Jamaica  EPISODE RESOURCES:   Wake Network: https://wake.net/  Chido Govera (Inspiration): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chido_Govera  Pleurotus ostreatus (fungus): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus_ostreatus  Psilocybe cubensis (fungus): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_cubensis  

In this episode we explore PSILOCYBIN, an organic hallucinogenic compound that is *the magic* in MAGIC MUSHROOMS. There are hundreds of species of Psilocybe cubensis, or fungi containing various levels of the psychedelic compounds psilocybin and psilocin, each providing slightly different benefits and effects. Whether you're interested in microdosing, wondering how to intensify your mushroom trip, or curious about the mushroom trip timeline, this episode is a great place to finding your way with psychedelic mushrooms.

Today on the Mushroom Hour Podcast we have the distinct privilege of being joined by Dr. Andy Letcher. Dr. Letcher is a writer, performer and scholar of religion who began life as an ecologist, completing his D.Phil in Ecology at Oxford University. After a spell as an environmental activist during the 90s, especially during the anti-roads protests, he moved across to the humanities, completing a PhD at King Alfred's College Winchester. He is an expert on contemporary alternative spiritualities, especially modern Paganism, neo-shamanism and psychedelic spiritualities. He is especially interested in the tangled and sometimes tortuous relationship between science and spirituality, and in so-called dark green religion. He has written papers on: the distribution of mammals across continents; fairies; mysticism; and psychedelic spirituality. Andy is also the author of the comprehensive work “Shroom: A Cultural History of the Magic Mushroom” that examines enthnomycological research, legends and myths surrounding humanity's relationship with psychoactive fungi.    TOPICS COVERED:   Ecologies, Environmentalism and Cries to the MoonWhat is Spirituality?Sensory and Cultural Inputs Birthing Religious TraditionsDefining the SelfExploring “Semi-Permeable Self”, “Ecological Self”, “Community Self”Consciousness Fields, Panpsychism & AnimismSymbiosis and SympoiesisAre Psilocybe Mushrooms Guiding Human Culture?Are Psychedelics Going to Save Us from Ourselves?What does a Psychedelic-Informed and Ecologically Self-Aware Society Look Like?How Large a Role did Psychedelics Really Play in Ancient Cultures, Religions, Rites and Secret Societies?Are We Part of the Most Psychedelic and Mycologically Inspired Culture Ever?We are the Mushroom People   Psychedelics in Druidry and Other Future Research   EPISODE RESOURCES:   Andy Letcher Website: http://andy-letcher.blogspot.com/   Andy Letcher Writings: https://independent.academia.edu/AndyLetcher   "Shroom: A Cultural History of the Magic Mushroom": https://www.amazon.com/Shroom-Cultural-History-Magic-Mushroom/dp/0060828293  Schumacher College: https://campus.dartington.org/schumacher-college/   William Blake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Blake   Victor Turner: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Turner   Terence McKenna: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKenna   Carl Jung: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Jung   Donna Haraway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Haraway   Huston Smith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huston_Smith

These are perilous woods, though, and they've still got a wagonfull of rescued children to return to their parents!

The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge was published by the University of California Press in 1968 as a work of anthropology, though it is now widely considered a work for fiction. It was written by Carlos Castaneda and submitted as his Master's thesis in the school of Anthropology. It purports to document the events that took place during an apprenticeship with a self-proclaimed Yaqui Indian Sorcerer, don Juan Matus from Sonora, Mexico between 1960 and 1965. The book is divided into two sections. The first section, The Teachings, is a first-person narrative that documents Castaneda's initial interactions with don Juan. He speaks of his encounters with Mescalito (a teaching spirit inhabiting all peyote plants), divination with lizards and flying using the "yerba del diablo" (lit. "Devil's Weed"; Jimson weed), and turning into a blackbird using "humito" (lit. "little smoke"; a smoked powder containing Psilocybe mexicana). The second, A Structural Analysis, is an attempt, Castaneda says, at "disclos[ing] the internal cohesion and the cogency of don Juan's Teachings."

This episode's guest needs no introduction. Kevin McKernan of Medicinal Genomics is back to talk about Psilocybin and the mushrooms that create it. Kevin and the team at MGC have published a highly contiguous reference genome for Psilocybe cubensis, which some listeners may know is the species of mushroom often referred to as the magic mushroom. Kevin and the team have also sequenced several different mushroom strains to try and better understand genes of interest and pathways responsible for Psilocybin.  If you are new to Psilocybin and mushrooms, don't worry we cover the basics as well as new findings in our conversation, including:  Potential therapeutic applications for PsilocybinWhat is fueling the rapidly growing interest Psilocybin Psilocybin's path towards legalization  Other psychoactive compounds found in mushrooms How mushrooms are cultivated and bred and what that means for applying genomics The discovery that there is more than one way mushrooms synthesize Psilocybinand more Thanks to this Episode's Sponsor The Future of Psychedelic Medicine The Future of Psychedelic Medicine campaign highlights the R&D and innovations currently taking place within the psychedelic space to raise awareness of how psychedelic medicine could transform mental health treatment. The campaign also aims to highlight the potential psychedelic medicine has to help with a range of mental health conditions including depression, addiction, anxiety, PTSD, abuse disorders, OCD and address the stigma surrounding this type of treatment. Read it on July 22nd in New Scientist magazine and on healthawareness.co.uk.

Numinus Wellness (CVE: NUMI) CEO Payton Nyquvest joined Steve Darling from Proactive to bring news the company has filed for patent protection for their sustainable, reproducible and easily scalable process to rapidly generate therapeutic products from psychoactive fungi species that contain psilocybin, other psychoactive compounds. Nyquvest telling Proactive the company tested the production process to rapidly generate a Psilocybe species extract as ‘proof of concept'. The results revealed a highly efficient, scalable process that can be applied to other species of psychoactive fungi.

"Ayahuasca has been my greatest teacher" - Dennis McKenna.

It's an interview divided into three parts... First, Dell Jolly from Unlimited Sciences, second the first conversation I had with Dennis in November. Third, in the last part of our conversation, held in n January, I'm joined by the PRO athlete and biohacker Luis Enrique Palomares. So we finished the interview, that we had to postpone the interview halfway due to an emergency. "Psychedelics have the potential to revolutionize mental health." As I mentioned above, before interviewing Dennis McKenna for the intro, I asked Del Jolly from Unlimited Sciences, collective psychedelic research, to give us more background information about the impact of psychedelics and psilocybin on society, mental illness and PTSD why it's important the work they are doing.

Jasper Degenaarsis is on a mission to share and empower the global community with the magical wisdom of sacred mushrooms and the archetypes they bring forth for healing. Nestled in the lush green lands of Guatemala is the Fungi Academy HQ, a space Degenaars envisioned for journeying, learning, growing, creating, cultivating, and intentional community living. An extension of this Psilocybin empowering community is the Sacred School Of Mycology; An online space where people connect globally to learn the art of sacred mushroom cultivation and become skilled psychonaut's through psychedelic journeywork courses. With the growing consideration around normalising/legalising the use of psychedelic medicine, this conversation between two chief mushroom men couldn't have landed at a better time. Mase and Jasper get into the realities and beauty of community living, how to responsibly grow and hold space for people journeying with sacred mushrooms, the emergence of the psychedelic 'industry', and staying connected while living in a capitalist world and honouring the financial part of a successful business. This conversation really highlights the beauty and healing our magical fungi friends are bringing into the world. Tune in!    "I've had mushrooms that I know came from big-ass laboratories, and they didn't feel nice to me. I don't resonate with that at all. But I do resonate with the mushrooms myself or my friends grow. Because we put in our intentions, our magic, our prayers, our grace, and our thanks. That's a big part of it". - Jasper Degenaars   Mase and Jasper discuss:   Sacred mushrooms. Reimagining education. Psychedelic censorship. Psychedelic journeywork. Why quality products matter. Decriminalisation of psychedelics. Clinical application of psychedelics. Mycorrhizal sphere (aka. the wood wide web). Growing Psilocybin as an individual vs big labs. Psychedelics for PTSD, depression and healing. The power of online psychedelic integration circles.   Who is Jasper Degenaars? Jasper Degenaars is the CEO of Fungi Academy and the co-founder of the Sacred Mycology Online School. The first fungi-focused online school that teaches individuals how to grow, and work with Psilocybe cubensis anywhere in the world. He has taught over 1000 people how to successfully grow all kinds of mushrooms. Born and raised in The Netherlands he knows the potential of a legal psychedelic landscape where the cultivation and consumption of Psychoactive substances are not punished by law.

Jasper, how are you, brother?   Jasper Degenaars: (00:08) I am actually really good today. I just came from a weird stomach thing, combined with a couple sessions of Kambo. So for a couple days I was feeling pretty weak and just recharging my batteries, listening to audio books. But today, I woke up and I had so much energy and I got so many things done and spent some time next to the river, so today was a good day.   Mason: (00:29) Nice. Yeah, I mean, it is a good day, you're lucky. Normally I ask everyone in a segment called up your guts, and I ask every guest to explain what's going in their guts and what their bowel movements are like. But we've just decided not to do that. So you're getting off today.   Jasper Degenaars: (00:44) Sweet.   Mason: (00:44) Yeah and it seems like it would have been a bit of a mess going in there.   Jasper Degenaars: (00:48) Yeah, yeah that would be like the whole podcast.   Mason: (00:51) We're sparing you, everybody. No more up your guts, and we're going to go more into the psychonaut, psychedelic, mushroom space. I'm really looking forward to this. We've chatted about mushrooms, of course. Everyone that, they ask me like, "Oh, what do you do?" And I'm like, "I sell medicinal mushrooms." And they're like, "Not those kinds of mushrooms, hey?" I have to have that chat and have that dad joke thrown at me every day. But you, we've got that. We've talked about clinical mushrooms in a clinical setting, but never in the context of what you're doing. Maybe I've introed you slightly, but I'd love for you to give everyone a bit of a spiel of what's going on over in Fungi Academy. Fungi Academy? Do you say Fungi or Fungi?   Jasper Degenaars: (01:41) I say Fungi, because it's a fungus. But in Dutch it's like Fungi. In Spanish it's Fungi. It doesn't really matter.   Mason: (01:50) Must be my Spanish blood. Fungi.   Jasper Degenaars: (01:53) Yeah, probably. What we do at Fungi Academy, we're based in Guatemala, that's where our high headquarters is at. But our community is basically worldwide. We teach people about all kinds of mushrooms. Edible, medicinal, and what we call the sacred mushrooms, or what most people refer to as the magic mushrooms. My expertise is mainly in cultivating and teaching people about beneficial properties. I have a lot of learning about ethnomycologies, so traditional uses of any kind of mushroom. And here in Mesoamerica, it's obviously the sacred or the psychedelic mushrooms, they used to consume up to 38 different species of psilocybe alone, here in Central America.   Jasper Degenaars: (02:36) Besides a fungal education centre, or like mushroom school, however you want to call it, we're also an intentional community. So we live with a bunch of people together, we create art. Right now, it is visionary art, it is making this epic mural. We grow mushrooms together. We make music together, and basically live together with a bunch of people. This is why I think it's really interesting to live in a community, because it's basically a psychedelic experience all day every day, because you get faced with, it's a house of mirrors, right? The psychedelic experience is a house of mirrors, but living with the same people, and confronting archetypes that come up and play with each other. So we can deal with these on a day-to-day basis is very nurturing and very healing, and often a lot of people ... Got to burp.   Mason: (03:23) Definitely.   Jasper Degenaars: (03:26) See, that's the gut thing.   Mason: (03:28) Totally. Mi casa, su casa. Yep.   Jasper Degenaars: (03:30) Okay. Yeah. That archetype of connection is very mycelium-like, right? Mycelium is not one organism, it's many, many organisms working together. We, as humanity, we are destined to do the same thing. Unfortunately, our western society has bred us to be in this individualistic mindset of, it's us against the world. Or if you're married, it's me and my partner against the world. But we're tribal people. We're meant to live in groups. I really think that is the future for us, especially if we're looking at whole life humanity. It's like, right now, you're born, you grow up in your family with your parents and there you have two adults teaching you. In traditional cultures, hunter-gatherer cultures, or even small farm towns, you have many adults teaching you the ways. Your uncle as well, and your uncle is maybe a really good shoe maker or something.   Jasper Degenaars: (04:33) If you're old right now the state takes care of you. But in the past, that would've been your community. We're really getting more and more people warmed up for these bigger communities that are also taking shape, where people really want to live their whole life, raise a family, grow old, and this kind of thing. Often, this goes hand in hand with sustainability, right? Because if you live in a community, you want to be able to support your neighbours and your loved ones with food and medicine. If you know how to grow mushrooms, you can grow food and medicine. It's a super powerful skillset to have.   Mason: (05:08) Yeah it's cool. The intentional community thing, it's such a beautiful conversation. You can see people dive into it just thinking, "This is just going to instantly be bliss, and I'm sure it'll just all naturally happen. You're on audio, there's a big shaking of the head. But you brought up a couple of things. Just very quickly, I think it leads into work with mushrooms or other psychedelics. You can see, if you're in a house of mirrors constantly, which is whether you're in a community, whether you're in a business, whether you're living even in a suburb, it's a neighbourhood that has interactions. You're getting these reflections. You've got to be willing to do the work and change. And look at what's coming at you in the mirror. Every time I've heard of a community not working, not panning out so well, it's when the way that it systemically works is, a capacity for people who aren't willing to actually look at the reflection, take on that capacity to change, come back to that part of them, maybe come back to their own true nature.   Mason: (06:10) But then continue to evolve, and actually really change. Whether that's changing the mannerisms, whether beliefs are able to evolve and change, you need to really get malleable. I don't think people realise just how malleable and adaptogenic you need to get when you're living in a community, when you go and start doing work, inner world, or inter dimensional work with psychedelics, all that kind of stuff. I think this leads in. I'm sure you've seen, and maybe not, because maybe you guys are actually good facilitators. But you're in the psychedelic world, you can almost see, like living in a community, you can see people that may be in a loop. You can see the loop and people, it actually gets really egoic, and people just want to dominate and they don't actually want to change.   Mason: (06:56) Same with whether it's some kind of therapy, or some kind of psychedelic work, you can just loop. You're not actually willing to go through and change, and really get uncomfortable in that new space. I'm curious how much you sit and hold that space. I can just feel that energy from you, talking about the community, and I thought I'd just jump right into it. Because it's always the piece that's not missing, people talk about it. It's just the hardest one, I think, to nail in this work.   Jasper Degenaars: (07:26) Yeah, it's very challenging, right? Because when those stuck energies start to happen, or these loops start to happen, often, and especially regarding men in the community, confrontation needs to happen. There needs to be a moment where you both sit and confrontation doesn't have to be violent, right? Where you both vocalise your perception. So how do you experience it? It always goes from I statements. For example, I feel not seen when I just cleaned the kitchen, often it's about the kitchen. Doesn't matter if you live with some flatmates or a bunch of hippies, it's always about the kitchen, you know?   Mason: (08:03) It's always about the dishes in the sink and the kitchen and the crumbs.   Jasper Degenaars: (08:06) Yeah.   Mason: (08:08) [crosstalk 00:08:08].   Jasper Degenaars: (08:09) But a good example would be like, "I don't feel seen when I just worked hard to clean the kitchen for everybody, and you come and you cook, and you leave it like shit, and I don't feel appreciated." That's like sharing your reality and your experience. Then you often come with desires. Like "I would really appreciate for next time if I clean the kitchen, that you just clean your shit after it." This way, this is a very basic example, right? But most of the times when you always work from I am statements, share your experience, and then come up with requests. Often what works really well, as well, in these kind of confrontations, is repeating. If, for example, this person that does not clean the dishes, after this person just cleans the whole kitchen, it would be like, "I see, you don't feel seen or appreciated when I come into a clean kitchen and make a mess, basically."   Jasper Degenaars: (08:59) Repetition of what the other person has said is a very powerful tool to create not only an understanding but also an empathy within ourselves. Yeah most of the time, this is a lot of work. Luckily, to an extent, right now, we've been living with the same group of people due to COVID for quite a little bit longer, so we understand each other in lots of ways. But yeah, it goes with a lot of talking and communicating and expressing needs and desires. It's like living in a partnership, basically. A romantic partnership, with a bunch of people, because you want everybody's needs to be met. And you want everybody to thrive and to be happy, because we're all here for the same goal, because we love the mission and we sometimes call the over soul of the community, right?   Jasper Degenaars: (09:42) Because as a community member, you can not only think of yourself, or what you think is good for the community, but you really have to start understanding what is good for the common consensus of the community. Yeah, right now, for me, it's an extra challenging time with our main community leader, Oliver Merivee, passing away in December. We were also running the online school together. Now a lot of things came onto my shoulders, and we're currently in the process of finding, really, somebody that can not only hold space for these potential conflicts, but also gets all the logistical things of the space done, and that makes sure that there's enough food for everybody. Because right now it's very spread out, but I used to be more the manager, together with Oliver, the moment one falls away and you have to take more on your shoulders, it's very challenging.   Jasper Degenaars: (10:39) Right now, I've actually decided to step a little bit away from the physical community. Also since there's a lot of people that have lived there for a longer time, so I can give away a lot of the responsibility. But yeah, it's the way that I want to live, but it's not always the easier, like you said. It's not always singing Kumbaya, and yeah, living in paradise. But it is living in paradise, and I've grown so much from it. It's unbelievable how much I've grown as a communicator, as a person, as somebody that can listen. Actually mostly, I learned to be a better listener form being in a community.   Mason: (11:16) Yeah, and they're things you will take with you for the rest of your life. Everything I hear, you're like, all right, you sit back and you get the dominance of your ego out of the way, you learn some skills, and you sit back and you see what emerges. Even though there's one person that might have this solid idea, it's like anything. It's like, I have an idea of the spiritual being that I want to evolve into. Then if you get too attached to it, you don't actually move. You keep looping. Same with the community, how you want it to be, you can sit back, and you trust, and you see what emerges by getting yourself into a place where your virtues are coming out, rather than you just wanting to dominate a win or avoid being dominated, and avoid conflict, and all those kinds of things. And you have to get that uncomfortable evolutionary phase and go, "Oh, this is who I'm going to become now. This is actually where I need to be now."   Mason: (12:04) And it's like, it's not what it looked like, what that younger self thought it was going to be. But it takes balls. It also takes balls for you guys to go after this mission. I'm curious, I'm sure it's an evolving mission. I'm sure it's got more of an evolving feel rather than just the words that I'll ask you for. But yeah, what is it? What's bringing the cohesion, and that mycelial connection between you all there?   Jasper Degenaars: (12:34) Yeah. So our mission actually is empowering a global community to share the magical fungal wisdom in many ways, as a society, and as humanity. We have so much to learn from all these archetypes from the mushrooms. I think the last conversation we talked about that they are creating abundance for everybody around them. They are literally taking the trash, the bad things in the ecosystem, so trees can flourish. And if trees flourish, animals will flourish. They're all doing it together, right? They're connecting the trees to what some people all the mycorrhizal sphere, also known as the Wood Wide Web. They're connecting, and they're creating harmony and unison in these ecosystems. That's really what inspires us.   Jasper Degenaars: (13:22) I really see that also as the lessons of the sacred mushrooms, right? I was actually talking to quite an influential figure in the psychedelic space as well. He had a very similar idea of how psychedelic "industry" is evolving, because he saw this beautiful symbiotic network where everybody is collaborating and right now a lot of us see capitalism as a place for competition. But actually, the world is so big, and especially in the online realms, there's so much room for collaboration on all sides. I, personally, see this in myself, and I've heard this from many other people, that that's one of the big lessons of the sacred mushroom in a journey. I need to work more together with other people. How can I help smaller organisations that are doing something similar to what I'm doing? And how can I call in help from people that are a little bit further ahead?   Jasper Degenaars: (14:15) Yeah, that's the most powerful thing that I, every day, get from the mushrooms. And yeah, mushrooms are epic. Most of us here know how to cultivate them, love cultivating. Some are really way more interested in applying some of the newer ways that are coming into micro-remediation. They're really thinking, how do we apply this on small scales to develop this technology, so we can develop on big scales? It's really about mycology and mushrooms, and community and psychedelics. But it's also mainly about learning. We are all about learning anything. Especially regarding the natural realms. If you're just surrounded by other people that are focused on growing as an individual by becoming, for example, a better listener, but also growing as an individual by gaining a skill or gaining more knowledge so that they can share that knowledge with other people, it's very inspiring.   Mason: (15:15) Yeah. Everything, because right now, my main community, my little micro one in my family, but then business, you know I was putting so much time in the business. When I was your age, I thought I'd be in a community when I was my age. But running around the forest naked. But instead I'm upgrading to a collar, at the moment, as I get into our winter rather than my Bond singlet. And wearing shoes more often. But nonetheless, everything is saying there, it's the exact same in the community I'm feeling here. But I'm interested to hear a little bit more, because this is something I talk about and have talked about quite a lot in collaboration with businesses that are doing something similar.   Mason: (15:56) Sometimes, I'm not ragging, I like a little bit of competition. I'm not ragging on people that come in, especially at this late stage of the industry, and they feel they really need to elbow their way in. And they've got a little bit of an, I don't know, survival instinct going on, that they need to quickly stamp on that person. There's a lot of backstabbing starting to happen, even in the medicinal mushroom space. And it's going to happen because we're humans. But I do see more and more the presence of that integrity of like, there's enough for everybody. Just those little acts of always being available to help someone who's emerging, coming up, sharing resources.   Mason: (16:39) Also, having boundaries in that. I'm interested to hear a little bit more about your process. You guys are getting to a particular size now, how have you experienced the collaboration with people that are bigger? What was your personal journey in setting your expectations of what is an appropriate collaboration, an appropriate connection, versus one that was an unrealistic connection to make? I don't know if you've got much to share, but I'd love the people listening to this podcast to get the insight of what's going on in our minds constantly as there is a bit of capitalism there, or there's a bit of hierarchy there, and there's finances, and all those kinds of things going, how to stay connected really deep into the ground at the same time, while we're honouring that financial part of the business.   Jasper Degenaars: (17:34) That's a really good question. In general, I reach out, that's the main thing. That's one of the reasons why we have the mycophile of the week feature in our newsletter. Because I was like, how can I just connect more with other people that are doing epic stuff? And maybe give them a little bump, right? Especially, our main platform is our Instagram. Then a lot of people that are smaller, yeah, of course, they can get a bunch of new followers and a bunch of new spotlight from just being on that. In general, I feel, especially the people that are working in mushroom cultivation, are beyond generous and helpful. Sometimes a little bit too much. That they're like, "Oh my God, this person is amazing, they should totally come and be your master cultivator." Then they come, and we've had this once quite recently.   Jasper Degenaars: (18:20) It was like, okay, this person is definitely an epic human being. I don't know if they're a master cultivator, but they really wanted to help. Sometimes they're like, too generously wanting to help can also come into a little bit of a flaws. But I, personally, am quite an open book with many things, and I'm always very curious to see how different peoples' approaches ... It happened a couple times that people said something, that they wouldn't do something, then they would do something. It was kind of like, my ego or my head, I don't really know, I was like, "You said something that they wouldn't do it, and now they did it." And now that's kind of our competition.   Jasper Degenaars: (18:59) But then again, that is only my reality. Because in their reality, they just did the thing that they were most excited about, and they probably thought was best for their business. But in the meantime, the connection, these people are still really warm and especially when "disaster" happened and our Instagram got completely blocked out two weeks ago, everybody jumped in. Okay, well we also reached out. It was like, "What can we do? Can we feature? Do you know any people in the media? We need to talk about psychedelic censorship." It really felt that those moments, you really feel the community of businesses coming together.   Jasper Degenaars: (19:40) I feel if you are in a geographical same location, then it might be a little bit more challenging, because you can actually get to a stage where there's too much competition. Where you've saturated the market. But because we're mainly working in the online realm, there's so much to discover. There's so many more people, all these verbs today, coming into the psychedelic space, and the mushroom space as well. Everybody wants to connect with somebody different. That's kind of how I see it. This is a word that people kind of hate marketing. But I see marketing as storytelling. Right? But all of our storytelling is different because we all come from different backgrounds, and we all have a slightly different way of seeing how we can change the world. But it doesn't mean that we can't coexist together. That's the main thing that I've been really looking into right now.   Jasper Degenaars: (20:34) The moment that somebody comes in, like for example, I just got word of an impromptu psychedelic conference in Denver, and nobody in the psychedelic community there knew anybody that was organising it, so they just didn't go. That's the thing. Because the psychedelic community is so tight-knit that it's really easy to connect with the "big players" of this community.   Mason: (20:58) Big players, yeah.   Jasper Degenaars: (20:58) And the moment that somebody else comes in with big money, I think this is a marijuana company, everybody's just like, "No, this is not aligned with what we really care about, and it's not featuring any of the people that we think should be featured in these conversations." I think that's kind of where a lot of the psychedelic industry's going towards. I think a good example is, for example, Compass Pathways. They are the big Darth Vader of the psychedelic industry right now, because they're trying to patent holding hands, soft furniture, and psychedelic ceremonies with a therapist. It's just, yeah.   Mason: (21:34) Really?   Jasper Degenaars: (21:35) Yeah, they're really trying. They're suing people, and they're doing absolutely horrendous stuff. But the whole community right now hates them basically. I think hate is a big word, but everybody, this proves about them, if we talk about how we're not wanting to see this psychedelic business and enterprises and culture evolving, we all use Compass as a great example of how not to do this. I don't know if that's ever reversible, right? Because if all the people that you talk to have something negative to say about Compass, who would still invest in Compass? Who would still want to sit with any of the psychotherapists trained by Compass? Long-term, those smudges don't fade, as long as the whole community has similar values and one organisation doesn't have the same values. It's really hard to break a community.   Jasper Degenaars: (22:29) It's really easy to break an individual organisation. But if there's a community of organisations with the same goal in mind, it's really hard to break through that, I think.   Mason: (22:38) It's interesting when you see the emergence of, let's say a right-brained community. And then you see the inevitable emergence of a dominated left-brain community. It happened in Chinese Medicine, I've talked about it quite a bit on the podcast where it's like Taoist Shamanic Earth-bound Herbalism. Up until, we see, about 400 AD, you see the commodifying left-side brain, ultra-organising. It's almost like left kind of open-ended politics and the right kind of really structured type of politics, going to the extremes. It's an interesting one to navigate, when you're on one side of the fence. It's a hard one to hold cohesion between those two inevitables. Especially when you're in the midst of the real trademarking and real industrialization of something. And you can see it goes so far away from its centre.   Mason: (23:41) I mean, yeah, it must be interesting. We've got our own experience of it in the tonic and medicine mushroom world. But with the psychedelic, it must bring up lots of confusing feelings and some very good ... What word am I looking for? Some good material for really going, "This is happening." How are we going to now navigate this new world, now that this has become a hot shit topic that everyone wants to get in on?   Jasper Degenaars: (24:19) It almost makes you wonder, right, do these people even take the medicine? Or are they just seeing this massive boost that cannabis had in the last couple of years, and they just think that psychedelics are the new cannabis, and they want to invest, and they want to be the first, and they want to elbow their way in? Because I just can't imagine, after fighting for that patent, and then they would sit in ceremony, that they must get some message that this is now the way to do it. You know?   Mason: (24:47) Some people are here to play different roles, I guess. Because you brought up marketing. I think one of my favourite marketing books, I think the name is Red Ocean Blue Ocean Marketing. Do you know that book?   Jasper Degenaars: (25:09) It does sound familiar, but I don't think I've read it.   Mason: (25:11) It's just classic, red ocean is when you think there's a certain amount of the market share. And now, we divide the market share between us, and that mentality is okay when there's not huge players. Then all of a sudden, big players start coming in and it's like, hang on, now we're going to really need to fight, and get bloody over that market share. Whereas if you can keep on evolving, and you can go over into the blue ocean, where you are allowing the emergence of new markets and new possibilities, and you've got a foot working your way in, getting attention from the people who are yours in that red ocean, hopefully without actually spilling blood. Then you keep on going with your own core values and you allow your blue ocean market to continue to emerge.   Mason: (26:05) I do like business, even though I think it's ... Anyway, I'm doing a talk this weekend about ethical enterprise, they've called it, at Renew Fest. I'm basically going subversive, I want to talk about the bullshit story we tell ourselves about business is going to save the world, and all this crap. All this shitty justification. But for all of that, I do enjoy business, even though I don't identify as a businessman, really I'm in one. And I am objectively one. I do like the dojo of it. I'm really interested to see where this goes for you guys, especially when you're holding such a sacred space, and then you see such a commodifying ... Yeah. I get the emotion. Because the gravity of what's happened to Taoist herbalism, it being connected so deeply not just to a theory of the elements.   Mason: (27:00) But meditating with and experiencing the wild, never-ending transformation and changing of nature within ourselves, within the micro, within the macro, within the micros within us, that have been in the macros, so on and so forth. It's so deep and such an intimate connection. When you see a system come in and go, "We need to be able to sell this." And they go robotic and they're like, "Bee boop boop. Is this yang, is this these other five elements, learn. Do not think about them, do not feel them, just repeat." It's hard. It really gets you in the fucking heart. I can imagine for you guys, it being so fresh. It's really fresh, this commodification.   Jasper Degenaars: (27:48) Yeah.   Mason: (27:49) Yeah. It must be wild.   Jasper Degenaars: (27:52) It is quite wild. To go back a little bit into this idea of ethical business and stuff like this, a word that kept coming back to me is quality, right? You're talking about traditional Chinese Medicine and herbalism. There's only this black and white ying/yang idea, they're the only two things. But that's not quality to me. That's like looking at [inaudible 00:28:13] as just not enough to me. You have good enough in business, but you also have not enough. Some people like that. But the people that are really interested in the quality experience, either by having amazing medicinal mushroom tools and herbs, to your disposal, by amazing companies like SuperFeast.   Mason: (28:38) [crosstalk 00:28:38].   Jasper Degenaars: (28:38) Or you want to have an epic learning experience ... Yeah. Well a lot of my Australian friends are kind of stoked that I was going to be on here. So you've got to take a little bit of credit of what you've accomplished in these last years, right? The ego gets in the way sometimes. But sometimes, these are also good reminders that we're on the right path. These are all positive affirmations, and we can tell ourselves positive affirmations, but we can also get positive affirmations from the outside world. To go back a little bit in this idea of quality, right, because we spend so much time in really thinking about how do we learn as individuals? How do I learn in the best way? Often that comes with humour, and it comes with easy ways to remember quite complex topics.   Jasper Degenaars: (29:23) Like somebody, for example, explains an adaptogen. Like a car that has to go up and down the hill. But then an adaptogen makes you go on cruise control. Somehow, that made sense to me. Then I started to remember it like that.   Mason: (29:37) That's cool.   Jasper Degenaars: (29:39) Together, we live in such a visual age with Instagram and all these other lights that are coming into our eyeballs. Together with, they just changed the name, but director of creativity, basically, Holden Davis, he's actually an Australian, and he's one of the best videographers, directors, I've ever had the blessing to working with. So we not only create something that's fun and engaging, but it's also beautiful to look at, and really the quality of what we are about, that speaks for itself. If somebody wants to have a less quality course, or wants to do a four hour course with an old lady behind a desk filmed on her phone, the kind of workshop, that's not what we're about. I really think that's the blue ocean that we're all creating for ourselves, is really doing the thing that we would like to have in the world.   Jasper Degenaars: (30:35) I think especially online education is so archaic, or education right now is archaic. Especially online. Why? I had a super interesting seminar, it lasted eight hours on the Michika, they call themselves, and they're a sacred mushroom use. This man was just having a really old PowerPoint presentation, and would take 20 second breaks. That's maybe tolerable in a university setting. But online, I'm not going to ... I'm sorry, this is my jam. This is what I absolutely love to learn. But this way of absorbing the knowledge is just not the way that I want to absorb that knowledge. It's the same with medicinal mushroom supplements. I don't know if that's a good word, supplements, or working with these amazing allies that create these beneficial compounds and energies.   Jasper Degenaars: (31:25) If I really want to collaborate with them, I want a mushroom that's grown in their natural environments. Maybe even in the time of year that they like to grow, and sourced ethically. I don't want anything mass produced. I don't want some mycelium grown on grain. Because I just want something that's good for me, and that I like working with. Again, that's where this idea of quality comes in. There's even this old German proverb, it's like, "I can't afford to buy cheap because then you have to keep buying it."   Mason: (31:55) Cool.   Jasper Degenaars: (31:55) I think what is really arising from this non-commercialistic or non-mass production movement in many ways, as some people exclaim it to be zero waste movement, which is very similar in many aspects. It's like, I just don't want to buy something that's not going to last. Because that's A, not sustainable for the planet. And that's not creating a nice experience for myself, and that's why I'm getting this thing in the first place. There's many different ways of looking at business and collaboration. I think this is why podcasts and what we do with Instagram Live is such a cool way to collaborate with people, right? Because you can share each others' stories which, again, marketing with each others' audiences, and then everybody's happy.   Jasper Degenaars: (32:40) Because we have an amazing conversation, your audience gets to know a little bit more about mushrooms and possibly Fungi Academy, and maybe one of those people will be like, "Fuck, Fungi Academy sounds like an epic place, I need to go to Guatemala." Because that can happen. And then an individual's life is changed. I think that is really the beauty of the age of the internet that we live in. And we just have to understand that internet, a lot of it is also not quality, right? Most Instagram is not quality. So consume quality in all shapes and manners and support locally. Because locally there is often more quality.   Mason: (33:13) A couple of things to sort out, I love how the Germans have a proverb for everything .   Jasper Degenaars: (33:22) Of course.   Mason: (33:23) It's like I've got a couple of German mates, and it is just endless giggles for me, hearing the sayings and the traditions that just kind of, "Yes, we have a tradition for that." You talked about marketing in this type of conversation. Talking about that side of whether it's herbalism or mushroom cultivation or usage that goes towards, say, the left brain of commodification and structure and sending a system out there, having an aspect of that organisation, utilising maybe the technology and you can feel that go into a black and white kind of sphere, while staying connected to that right brain, real nice and chaotic style of marketing that keeps you connected to the essence. You can see that collaboration between those two ways of being, and it's really, those develop a real nice insight there.   Mason: (34:21) Now, the work there, of Fungi Academy, I can really see you guys, I can see a similarity between the Taoist style of herbalism and the Traditional Chinese Medicine, the 1950s Maoists kind of coming in, they created a new westernised pathology, talking about western disease states and how to treat them, with various points and formulas. I can see how you guys now talk about the teaching of cultivation of the sacred mushroom on an online course, teaching people where to access the spores. I can see you're in this big boom, where the clashing could be, because you're right in the middle of people wanting to institutionalise and completely own the capacity to administer mushrooms. I've heard it from practitioners going, "You really should only do this from a trained practitioner."   Mason: (35:22) It's like, "Well, that's a very left-brained black and white, you're ultimate in this kind of sphere, ultimate republican way of thinking about it." Whereas, how did we get here? Same with herbalism. People are like, "No, no, only practitioners trained in these universities are allowed to administer herbs." It's like, "What about the last 10,000 years of people gaining a less institutionalised way of bringing those herbs into their lives, into the community, with a certain amount of wisdom?" That's what you're bringing out with the mushrooms. I can really see that world that you're inhabiting now of making sure that this doesn't get completely institutionalised and that the fear around having your own sovereignty and using of a medicine, and the fear that we have of even going down the track of going, "Maybe, I could learn about this, and I could responsibly grow or hold space for people journeying with the sacred mushroom."   Mason: (36:26) That's what you're kind of, I guess, by bringing that beautiful light, too, I'd love to hear your thoughts and the journey around that.   Jasper Degenaars: (36:34) Thank you for seeing us so clearly. And yeah, we're really about decentralising this movement, and I think psychotherapists or clinicians say like, "You have to do it in a safe environment with somebody with a paper from a specific university and you have to lay on the couch, and you have to listen to a pre-curated playlist accepted by the government." Sure, there's going to be a space for that, for the people that really need it. But that's not how I got into it. That's not how most people got into it. I've had crazy healing experiences. I kind of got shivers right now thinking about me and my friends, just walking through the park. Because in the Netherlands, you go to the store, you get some truffles these days, and you go hang out in the park or something.   Jasper Degenaars: (37:21) I was blessed enough to live in a quiet nature-surrounded area in the Netherlands. For us, the park was actually ... There's wild horses, and there's actually seclusion from some traffic. I was not prepared. I didn't think about setting at those times, I was a young 18 year old. But I had a lot of fun. Then afterwards, I felt happy, and I felt lighter. I think everybody should have those experiences. I felt really confident in my experiences because I like learning. So I went to [inaudible 00:37:50] and I started reading so many peoples' experiences. I started figuring out a couple things. It's always going to end, that's the main thing. You're never going to trip forever. Just drink water, make sure you find a safe spot. Make sure you have a way out, or something. Especially if you go in nature. And control your dose.   Jasper Degenaars: (38:14) Especially as a young person, I was actually surprised that I've had so many just extremely good experiences. This goes hand in hand with the cultivation, right? I started cultivating because I just didn't want to buy truffles all the time, and they were like 15 bucks. But then I could buy these mushroom grow kits, and they're like 40 bucks, and you get enough mushrooms for basically a lifetime, and for your friends. So I thought, this is way more economically viable for me to have these amazing experiences. Then I just got captivated, enthralled by this experience of seeing them pin for the first time. Then every day, they grow a little bit more. Then you just have this beautiful, happy flush of mushrooms. It made me so happy, that I kept wanting to do it.   Jasper Degenaars: (38:58) That kind of ties in with the idea that the moment, for example, psilocybe cubensis the mushroom that most people cultivate because it's by far the easiest will become legalised everywhere in the world. There's going to be mass production. That's what happened in the Netherlands. That's still happening in the Netherlands, to an extent. It's happening in the United States right now. I've had mushrooms that I know come from big-ass laboratories, they don't feel nice to me. I do not resonate with that at all. But I do resonate with the ones I grow or my friends grow, because we put in our intentions and our magic and our prayers and our grace and our thanks.   Jasper Degenaars: (39:37) The moments, not even before the last stage. I talked to another sacred mushroom cultivation teacher, he's based in the UK and his name is Darren Le Baron. He said for him, the ceremony starts when he goes to the store and he buys the grain that he's going to give the mushrooms for food. That's what I thought was really beautiful. Well, for me it starts the moment that I germinate the spores, and then the spores become mycelium, and then I'm going to give the mycelium a bigger home where they have more food and then when they're ready, I'm going to give them their ultimate food source. Often, we actually do a little prayer. I play music, there's mushroom jazz, I think mushrooms love jazz. Makes total sense to me.   Jasper Degenaars: (40:20) I've had really beautiful experiences. It's funny, most people, for example, don't like the taste of mushrooms. But I've grown mushrooms that tasted delicious. Which is dangerous, don't grow mushrooms that are delicious. But yeah, the main idea is that it's a quite easy skill to get a hold of. Spores are accessible everywhere in the world. If everybody knows how to grow mushrooms, then there's no need for a big industry to pop up, because everybody can have a shoebox in their home. It's really easy, like I said before, to grow so much that you don't know what to do with it. If 10% of the population knows how to do that, everybody in the world has enough mushrooms because it's really easy to grow so much.   Jasper Degenaars: (41:07) And the decriminalisation, right? Because if everybody knows how to grow mushrooms, what, is the government just going to arrest 40% of the population? That's not going to happen, you know? On the other hand, there's also going to be less space for these massive, massive industries. Because it's such a beautiful process. And with most psychedelics, you can't really easily build it on personal relationship with your medicine. Some people can grow ayahuasca, you can grow San Pedro. If you have patience, you can grow peyote. If you're a really good chemist, you can make LSD, but that's out of the question for most people. But growing mushrooms, or even getting a mushroom grow kit like you can buy in the Netherlands, and then having that experience of seeing them grow and putting the intention and harvesting them, I think is accessible to everybody.   Mason: (42:00) If it's decriminalised, you can see those big labs, there are going to be people that just love the mechanical, organised pharmaceutical nature. It will find its natural place in the ecosystem, and it will naturally have its market. Then, it's got the opportunity for people. They come in, they just maybe discover it that way, they're prescribed it that way, and it's like someone going from a big medicinal mushroom from this huge company, grown on grain. Actually I want something now that's grown in the wild, that's [inaudible 00:42:33], they have a powder or move from a tablet to a powder. Then potentially, they move to, hang on. I've got all these medicinal mushrooms in my backyard that I can go and harvest.   Mason: (42:44) People can fluctuate and move through that spectrum. That's why criminalization is just an absolute crock of shit. It's just trying to artificially control, which is what we do, an ecosystem. Eventually, the ecosystem's going to buck its back legs and kick you off. One way or another, we know that's going to happen.   Jasper Degenaars: (43:07) I like to tell a story, actually it's quite relevant. It warmed my heart so much. Because with our students, we started doing these online integration circles for people that have had psychedelic experiences. One of our students is actually a lady, and I think she's at the end of her 50's. And she hadn't done psychedelics for 20, 30 years. But she had to call. So she signed up for our mushroom cultivation course and psychedelic journey work course. And what I really loved is that she obviously didn't have anybody in her community that's like, "Yo, can I buy magic mushrooms?" Because she was doing the working thing, and yeah. So she decided to take that into her own hands, and she grew her own mushrooms from spores, and then she had her first psychedelic experience in 30 years.   Jasper Degenaars: (43:51) Now, she feels completely connected to her creativity. She feels so empowered. Because she had this calling, she decided to take action, and she did it herself. That's also the power, especially before decriminalisation. Right? There's a lot of places where it is decriminalised. But some people really want to call in this medicine, and if you don't know a drug dealer, if you don't know how to forage, where are you going to get mushrooms these days? I think that's also a big power of learning how to grow mushrooms yourself, if you're not reliant on finding some shitty guy on the corner that maybe will sell you some bad stuff, or having to really hunt for something you're not completely certain of.   Jasper Degenaars: (44:36) I think before, the widespread thing ... I'm not encouraging anybody to do anything illegally. But I think it is where some of the power and how some of this movement and changing can definitely happen.   Mason: (44:53) For sure. Yeah. I'll just tell everyone, please don't reach out and ask where to get mushrooms in Australia.   Jasper Degenaars: (45:01) No, I don't sell mushrooms. No selling.   Mason: (45:02) Or with Jasper anywhere in the world. Just to put it out there. But I like the fact that you're mentioned, because quite often, the way that we're programmed is it's a bunch of hippies, running around, irresponsibly taking drugs. You've already mentioned it's like, hang on, there's a few principles and a little bit of wisdom and common sense. But if that's out there in the community, we know how to ensure that you've got the odds in your favour to have a beautiful experience and that you're safe. It doesn't take much. It does not take much to have a beautiful, deep experience that's really, really safe.   Mason: (45:42) But it's beautiful to see that, getting out there. Let's talk about that space, and what you see has been the major healing to people, having journeys. Being called to the medicine. What do you see being that particular intention that someone has, or a particular stage of their life where that resonance and that connection with the medicine when it comes up? What do you see is the teaching that people are really being called to? And how is it done with this mushroom?   Jasper Degenaars: (46:11) That's a really good question. I think why are people mainly called to it, in our lives we have experiences that create patterns in our system that are not necessarily aligning with who we are destined, or who we naturally are. These things are called traumas, and they're quite hard to overcome. For example, I think my personally, when I was 18 and I first started experimenting with these things, I never intended to get over my depression to help with these mushrooms. But I really liked altering my state of consciousness, and one day, my parents were out of town for the weekend or something, and I bought ... This is before I started cultivating. This is actually the first really big journey I had by myself. I bought a big one, it's actually like a little container of truffles.   Jasper Degenaars: (47:09) I went home, and I ate all of them together with some bread and, I think, peanut butter or something. I didn't like the taste of truffles. I put up the Lion King, just a way for it to come up. Because I was just thinking, I'm going to laugh, I'm going to see crazy things, I'm going to have a good time. And I just saw so much of myself in Simba. I was like, "Oh man, I'm spending too much time with Timon and Pumba in the jungle, I need to step up my game and become a little bit more serious. I need to become the prince that I'm destined to be." Or something like that. I really felt a connection. I had just started crying for so long of the beauty of life, and how gifted ... Not gifted, but I'm a little lost for words here. But how lucky I was, I was born in the Netherlands, and that I had all these opportunities.   Jasper Degenaars: (48:04) I decided to really make a big change in my life afterwards. I was going to take care of this body of mine, and I was going to be nicer to people, and be more out there, and develop the things that I'm good at developing. That's when I started to grow mushrooms, because I really wanted to, yeah, explore that. I feel that that was a healing of a pain that didn't make me believe in myself. I think that completely got washed over. Fast forward many years later, almost two years ago, when we first moved to this property with Fungi Academy, and we did a big group ceremony, and I was addicted to the spliff, my man. Not weed, not tobacco, but together, oh my God. I got so addicted.   Jasper Degenaars: (48:52) I was like, "How can I shake this addiction?" I'd stop for many months, and then I went back into it. How can I shake this? I came in with this journey, and I had five grammes. The classic Terence McKenna hero's dose, whatever you want to call it. I asked the mushrooms, why am I doing this to myself? Why can I not stop? Then without force or anything, the mushrooms just showed me where it originated. I got picked on when I was 13. But then I was able to see the pain that the people that were picking on me were going through. I saw, didn't meet their parents ever. But I saw that their parents were also causing them pain, and they needed to reflect that pain on somebody else, and I was able to forgive them. And I was able to forgive myself.   Jasper Degenaars: (49:39) Then boom, next thing you know, two years later, and I'm not addicted anymore. I'm even at the stage where I can have one or two puffs, and I'm not wanting a lot more than that. I think a lot of us that are called to the mushrooms are looking to heal parts of themselves that are not aligned, that are blocking their complete alignment with themselves. Besides that, I also see it's a good wake up call. For example, another personal example, because that's the easiest for me. I kind of subconsciously repress anxiety. But that's not naturally good. But when I'm on a big psychedelic journey, I often feel immense anxiety. Sometimes, I can't leave my bed for the first 30 minutes that it's really coming on. I just need to feel that. I just need to let it out of my system and my body, and I feel lighter.   Jasper Degenaars: (50:33) And I feel more myself. I have more of an open heart, and I feel I can be more myself for other people and show up more for other people. Those are the two basically main ones, is healing and nice, like we've talked about at the beginning of the conversation, right? That house of mirrors, a nice, little reflection. Like hey, where am I going? What am I doing? Is this actually aligned with the things I find really interesting? They're mentors and teachers. They will be that for my whole life.   Mason: (51:04) How do you teach people about a way to have a relationship, a friendship, a mentorship, whatever it is with the mushroom? Do you have conversation around like, again, there is a crazy correlation between tonic herbs and the work that you're doing, just and I can see where the terminology I assume would go. In the beginning, like let's say Terence McKenna, hero dose. Every now and then, it's like a mega dose. When I started, I was like, two high heaped tablespoons a day of chaga and reishi, for two years. Then I did a 10 day fast on reishi. I'm pretty sure I will never have to do that again in my life. But maybe, I might have a big corner to turn. I go, "Yeah, you know what? Yeah, that hero dose or that megadose comes into relevance."   Mason: (51:53) Maybe when you start out, you've got a deficiency of jing or whatever it is. And you go hard on jing herbs for two months. Then once a year or twice a year, you may have that feeling towards a particular herb and you go hard to build yourself up. But then, where you land, eventually, is a really responsible maintenance dose of small amount of herbs, consistently, and you don't really need them or rely on them to give you those feelings that you got to begin with, because your lifestyle, your food, your little bit of herb, the way you're living, is keeping your organs flowing. Therefore, you kind of can't feel that big hit of energy anymore from the herbs, because your energy's already moving.   Mason: (52:43) How do you have that conversation in the world of psychedelics and mushrooms? Where do you see dependencies come up? Where do you see people not respecting the fact that their body wants to have more of an immersion, but they're too scared to go into that? How does that whole world look?   Jasper Degenaars: (53:05) It's a very good question. It's a challenging place to navigate. Because it depends. Everybody is very different. Some people are very sensitive to the medicine, and some people are not sensitive at all. I even keep meeting more and more people that the mushrooms have stopped working in its entirety, which is very fascinating to me. Because I've become more sensitive over the years. If I would do five grammes now, yeah, that would be a very big dose for me compared to what it was two years ago, for example. I feel it's like, really important that everybody needs to tune in with what their state of mind is.   Jasper Degenaars: (53:44) Dependency is not ever something that I really see happening with psychedelics, because they're not always pleasurable. They will show you your dark side. Especially if you start, I say this a lot, but "abusing them." Because if you just use them too much, it's amazing to take psychedelics at a festival sometimes. But if you take it all the time at festivals, they're going to show you some not pleasant experiences. I remember for example, the last day of a festival, I had a little bit of LSD, and I couldn't talk to anybody. That was a good lesson for me. That is not what I want to do at a festival. I want to connect with these people. I don't want to be in my own world, and confused, and not being able to talk.   Jasper Degenaars: (54:26) I really encourage everybody to tune in with themselves. If you're uncertain, don't do it. If you're called to the medicine, and you want to work with the medicine, and you want to face that fear. Even if, because uncertainty and fear is not the same thing. If you're like, "Well I really want to do this, but I'm scared." That's what I experienced with my first Kambo session this Saturday. I was like, "Oh my God, I really want to do this, but I'm scared as fuck." Okay, then I should probably do this. But if there's uncertainty ...   Mason: (54:53) This coming Saturday? Or last Saturday?   Jasper Degenaars: (54:55) No, it was last Saturday. So yeah. I had another one on Tuesday, and it was less scary, and it was really beautiful.   Mason: (55:01) Yeah, second Kambo is so much. I found it much more approachable.   Jasper Degenaars: (55:10) Yeah. Actually I found it a little bit [crosstalk 00:55:13].   Mason: (55:13) [crosstalk 00:55:13].   Jasper Degenaars: (55:13) But yeah, the first one was actually, I completely surrendered, right? To go back into this idea of really tuning into what you want, I think it's really important to really listen to your guts. Even with Kambo, we can use this example as well. The medicine woman I was working with was asking me, "What number is coming to your mind?" That's how it is. Do your research. Kind of understand, what an average of two grammes does to a person of my weight and height? What do those five grammes do to this person? And start with something that you think you're going to be comfortable with. You can always take a booster dose. That's the beautiful thing with mushrooms, right? If you feel it coming up after 45 minutes, you get the gut feeling. It's like, "I think I can have more." Have more. That's the simplicity of this.   Jasper Degenaars: (56:07) I do this all the time. I start with a smaller dose, then after 45 minutes when I'm like, "Yeah, I feel comfortable, I feel like I can face this a little bit deeper." I'll have some more. I think that's the beauty. If you're not comfortable, if you don't know how you're going to respond, have somebody close to you that's experienced that's actually there to look after you, and maybe to take like half a gramme, or even 0.2 or something, a micro dose, so they're tuned into the same energies. But you go deeper. That's really what I experienced.   Jasper Degenaars: (56:41) As somebody that has a lot of solo journeys, if somebody is right next to you, and you feel safer, you feel safe with this person, your whole body just relaxes. You're allowed to go deeper into this space. I think those are the big lessons. Listen to your guts, ask for help, and do ... I think knowledge is power with everything. If you're not feeling certainty, maybe read more about how the ancient Michika were taking these sacraments. Read about the Shamans in Siberia, how they used amanita muscaria, you know? There's never enough information, at least for me, information gives me confidence. If you're called to something, and you really want to do this, confidence is key in mushroom cultivation but also psychedelic exploration.   Mason: (57:33) Do you guys cover this in your course? Psychedelic, is it journey work?   Jasper Degenaars: (57:38) Yeah, so we actually teamed up with Julian Vayne, I don't know if you're familiar. He's one of the best psychedelic teachers I've ever encountered. He's a super well spoken, amazing storyteller. Has written over 30 books on psychedelics and magic and Paganism, and these kinds of things. He wrote one of the best psychedelic books that I've ever read, not written but read. No, that's the explorer's guide. I'm a little bit like ... The name [crosstalk 00:58:13].   Mason: (58:12) What's his name?   Jasper Degenaars: (58:14) Julian Vayne, and Getting Higher.   Mason: (58:16) How do you spell Vayne?   Jasper Degenaars: (58:16) Getting Higher.   Mason: (58:18) Oh yeah, cool.   Jasper Degenaars: (58:19) Julian Vayne, V-A-Y-N-E. Getting Higher, that's it.   Mason: (58:24) The Manual of Psychedelic Ceremony?   Jasper Degenaars: (58:27) It's super short, it's super powerful, and we just go a little bit deeper into this with the course. Together with, we had a brother create a whole psychedelic soundtrack for the course, and the cinematography. It's like a journey in itself. But then you learn about journeying, and yeah, it's super well done. It comes with great tips, it comes with journaling prompts. It comes with hot to set up a space, what kind of music is often appropriate for these kinds of ceremonies.   Mason: (59:00) Dude, it's such a good offering. Connecting, the certification of becoming a certified psychonaut. Just learning how to put on that uniform and take off.   Jasper Degenaars: (59:15) Yeah.   Mason: (59:17) Just again, as I get older, you realise, wow, that really is a dimension. Like any dimension, you can really learn that landscape. I think that's where for me, being a bit younger, jumping around. I've never really had what I'd call a negative experience, or anything happened that was untoward with my psychedelic journeys. But I definitely can see coming out the back-end I was like, I didn't really have that facilitation of the dimensions I was going into with Ayahuasca, with San Pedro, there wasn't as much of a community with an understanding of that terrain. Not that it's bad. It's just taken me a few years to land all the experiences. It's just really sweet to see, like a course ... How long does a course take? It's like 12 videos, right?   Jasper Degenaars: (01:00:18) Yeah. I think it's like 12 15 to 20 minute videos.   Mason: (01:00:23) Great.   Jasper Degenaars: (01:00:24) Yeah, it's basically like two, three weeks. We like that people can watch it at their own pace, and it comes with a 70 page workbook with more reading material and checklists. I actually just accumulated some playlists that I'm going to put in as well. Dear brother, latest ancestor, Oliver Merivee made amazing psychedelic journey playlists that have made me go so much deeper as well. I think the playlists are actually already on the website as a freebie for people.   Mason: (01:00:59) I saw that.   Jasper Degenaars: (01:00:59) If they want to check out the playlists, that's a really good way to connect with a very dear, past brother of mine. If you want to go deep, it's wow. I still cry thinking about the last songs in that playlist. It's just ridiculous what kind of emotions music comes up to. It's all based on the four matrices of Stanislav Grof, I don't know if you're familiar. But the idea that every psychedelic journey is the four stages of birth. So first you're in the womb, you're chilling, floating. Then you get pushed through and suddenly your whole world is changing, everything you've known before is just changing. You're getting pushed through. Then you're getting to the moment of birth, the almost coming out. Then the last stage is the actual coming out of your mother. That you hear her voice, and all these kinds of things.   Jasper Degenaars: (01:01:52) So a playlist that's tuned into those ideas, I think Stanislav Grof was on the right track, and Oliver made a very, very good playlist. I think one thing that people think, intense music actually brings up these emotions sometimes that we need to feel. It's not always pleasant. But I'm not hitting a big dose of mushrooms to necessarily have a consistent experience. I come in with wanting to get something out of that experience, to learn something about myself that makes me a better person, or makes me a better version of myself is a better way to put it.   Mason: (01:02:32) Yeah. And you can judge or consider where you're at, and how healthy and sound you are, in that capacity. How wide your container is, in being able to go into a more uncomfortable space. I feel you on that, and that's the whole integration thing. If you up the IQ of what it takes to land an experience, then you don't just have your container sitting there, constantly filling up and going for another journey. When what you need to do is really assimilate and then if you go through that assimilation process and you're actually evolving, changing your mind, and you're leaving behind attachments of your belief systems and your dogmatic way of seeing the world and yourself and everyone else.   Mason: (01:03:16) Then your container becomes nice and empty again, maybe even a little bit bigger, and you can go even get a little bit more uncomfortable. Yeah. [inaudible 01:03:23] man.   Jasper Degenaars: (01:03:24) I think that's even a meme. You're a man of memes, and there's a meme of this person coming out of a cave, and it's like, "I'm going to have a psychedelic experience." Behind him is this big, sludgy monster, it's like all the past experiences you have not yet integrated, right? Often, integration is often about talking about your experience. Sharing th

Another Spooky Podcast brings you another spooky episode where we dive into the famous María Sabina Magdalena García who was a Mazatec sabia, or curandera, who lived in Huautla de Jiménez, a town in the Sierra Mazateca area of the Mexican state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. Her healing sacred mushroom ceremonies, called veladas, were based on the use of psilocybin mushrooms, such as Psilocybe cyanescens.

We are humbled to be speaking with psychedelic pioneer, Dennis McKenna. Dennis and his late brother Terrence are some of the most influential figures in western psychedelic culture. The brothers contributed to the introduction to psilocybin mushrooms in the United States, including but not limited to, cultivation techniques, ethnomycology, user guidance, and providing spores. Dennis was active in the psychedelic movement in the 60s and continues to shape the 21st century renaissance through education and organizations such as the McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy. Prepare for some serious wisdom and untold stories from the McKenna family. Topics Covered:The McKenna's trip to La Chorrera in search of psychedelic Virola sap called oo-koo-hey, and the inadvertent encounter of Psilocybe cubensis in cow piesPsilocybin as an ideal oral form of DMTChemical composition of psychedelic mushrooms i.e beta-carboline content The McKenna family, from a small town in Colorado and the becoming of the most influential figures in western psychedelic use Psilocybin's potential influence on hominid evolution including fossil records, ecological history, circumstantial evidence, epigenetics and moreProhibition and regulation of psilocybin and other entheogensOrganismic birthrights to form a relationship with the natural worldShow notes:McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy: https://mckenna.academy/Heffter Research Institute: https://www.heffter.org/Erowin reports on Virola sap: https://erowid.org/library/books_online/golden_guide/g71-80.shtmlPsilocybin: A Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/415951.PsilocybinLife with Terrance McKenna: https://www.amazon.com/Brotherhood-Screaming-Abyss-Dennis-McKenna-ebook/dp/B00A8KWLYKNotable Quotes:“Part of the message from nature is, [psilocybin] is the perfect psychedelic, you don't really need to improve on it.”“We were approaching this like engineers, we wanted to build a machine out of our own bodies that would enable us to visit other dimensions.”“People should have a fundamental right to form symbiosis. And because we're talking about alliances with non-human organisms, it's not even a human right, it's an organismic right.”“When you choose to use a drug, you're choosing a relationship.... call it a symbiotic relationship.”

In this episode Amber Wise, PhD, joins the group discussion with Jahan Marcu, PhD, Nigam Arora, PhD, and Sara Jane Ward, PhD. We share our thoughts on federal agencies' views regarding hemp use in employees and contractors, trends in psychedelics and mental health, and cannabis proficiency testing (aka PT). As well as a story about what it is like to use psychedelic drugs as a participant in a clinical study. For our peer reviewed research articles we discuss recent data on the stability of mushroom biomass under different storage conditions and cannabis use for creativity in business ventures.

A conversation with Madison Margolin, editor of DoubleBlind, the magazine that's charting the psychedelic renaissance (and a special guest appearance by Timothy Leary's lawyer).It’s the second winter of our pandemic discontent. We’re bored, weary of isolation, itchy to travel, but confined at home. A growing number of restless adventurers are adapting by traveling inward. Their vehicle of choice? Psilocybe cubensis, AKA psilocybin, AKA magic mushrooms. Our guide on this episode's journey, Madison Margolin, is the editor and co-founder of DoubleBlind, the bi-annual print magazine that’s charting the psychedelic renaissance.Just like cannabis, psychedelics, squashed and maligned by 60 years of prohibition, are at the center of this resurgence. Psilocybin has been decriminalized in cities including Denver, CO, Oakland and Santa Cruz, CA, Washington DC, and Somerville, MA. The entire state of Oregon has decriminalized and legalized it for therapeutic use. Change is afoot and DoubleBlind is charting it.The magazine blends exuberant graphics and joyful mix of the informative, fun and at times, fantastic, journalism, which is how it should be. In it, you’ll find:profiles of some boldface names such as Hamilton Morris, the host of the great VICE TV series, Hamilton’s PharmacopeiaAn investigation into the underground psychedelic scene in New York’s ultra conservative Hassidic communitySome hilarious (and maybe true?) revisionist histories as viewed through a psychedelic lens. To wit: Moses and the Burning Bush. Some psychonauts believe that the bush, in fact, was acacia, the bark of which contains the psychedelic alkaloid 5-MeO-DMT and that it convinced Moses that he was speaking to God.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are blessed to speak with our very special guest Alan Rockefeller. Alan is a mycologist who has undertaken extensive field and lab research on the mushrooms of California and Mexico. He has been collecting mushrooms for 17+ years and has focused on the taxonomy and photography of Mexican mushrooms for the past 11+ years. Our epic journey brings us back to the dawn of the new millennium when a young Alan Rockefeller first became spellbound by fungi. A few years into his mycology explorations, he had a chance encounter on shroomery.org with a biologist in Mexico who was posting amazing fungal finds. Alan made a connection and began traveling to Mexico each year to seek out rare fungi. Since he began these adventures, he has played a central role in mapping fungal diversity throughout different climate ranges in Mexico. This includes some of the most in-depth field observations in the world when it comes to those incredible bioluminescent and infamous psilocybin containing fungi. We'll cover it all - how bioluminescence occurs in biology, the evolutionary significance of bioluminescent enzymes and psilocybin compounds in fungi and how Alan goes about finding the rarest varieties of these fascinating organisms. The epitome of the self-taught naturalist and citizen scientist we'll learn the secrets of how Alan gained his vast taxonomic knowledge. Just "showing up" and pursuing his interests he has been able to collaborate with leading academics in the field of mycology. Alan then reveals how we can all contribute to the science of mycology by making good observations in the field and cataloging them effectively for posterity. We get a masterclass on cataloging field finds including how to take good photos in the field, record relevant observations, preserve dried specimens and even how we can sequence the genome of our fungal finds. This is an incredible opportunity to soak up wisdom and experience from a legend in the field of citizen mycology.

Mystical-type experiences are profound and often characterized by an authoritative sense of the unity and sacredness and sometimes interpreted as an encounter with God or Ultimate Reality. Although such experiences have been described by mystics and religious figures throughout the ages, there are few experimental studies because such experiences usually occur at low rates and often unpredictably. Psilocybin in the form the Psilocybe genus of mushrooms has been used for centuries within some cultures for religious and healing purposes. This presentation, held September 15, 2020, reviewed a series of studies investigating the effects of psilocybin administered to carefully screened and psychologically prepared volunteers who were encouraged to close their eyes and direct their attention inwards. Under such conditions, psilocybin occasions profound personally and spiritually meaningful mystical-type experiences in the majority of participants. Roland Griffiths is Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurosciences and Director of the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His principal research focus is on the behavioral and subjective effects of mood-altering drugs.

Micro-dosing, taking small doses of psychedelic substances, like LSD or psilocybin-containing “magic” mushrooms, probably entered the public consciousness in early 2015, after James Fadiman, PhD and author of The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide, appeared on the Tim Ferris Podcast. Fadiman is the author of the 2011 book “The Psychdelics Explorer's Guide” where can be credited with presenting the idea of taking a “sub-perceptual” dose of a hallucinogen, like LSD or Psilocybe cubensis “magic” mushrooms, that contain the hallucinogen psilocybin. A sub-perceptual dose means that, while these substances still exert effects, they don't produce a noticeable hallucinogenic “high”. While other substances can be used, the most common way to practice micro-dosing is with about 1/10th to 1/20th of a standard “trip dose” of LSD or psilocybin, the two most commonly taken psychedelics. In this episode I talk to Dr. Amanda Satov, a fellow naturopathic doctor. Amanda became interested in the healing power of psychedelic plant medicines on a trip to the Amazon rainforest of Peru. Her background in culinary arts and her interest in working with patients through transitional periods in their lives, led to her deep dive in the history, science and current research surrounding psychedelic, or entheogenic medicines. Dr. Amanda is also a reiki practitioner. She is a fellow Toronto practitioner. You can find Dr. Amanda Satov, ND at: https://www.amandasatov.com/ and on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandasatov.nd/ Now, the psychedelic medicines, like psilocybin or LSD, that we talk about in this episode are not currently approved for therapeutic use. Nor are they legal to procure outside of certain exceptions for scientific research. Dr. Amanda and I are having this discussion because we're interested in it and excited about what the future holds for using psychedelics in the realm of mental health, however we are in no way advocating their use outside of a therapeutic encounter.

Psykedeliska droger är på uppsving och ses av vissa som rena mirakelmedicinen mot diverse psykiska besvär. Men att beskriva upplevelserna tycks fortfarande utom räckhåll, konstaterar Fredrik Sjöberg. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Betänk följande scenario: en grottmänniska från stenåldern förflyttas genom en hypotetisk tidsresa till Centralstationen i Stockholm, säg en fredagseftermiddag. Han står där i vänthallen och förundras. Kanske går han också en sväng på stan i rusningstrafiken, varefter han så teleporteras tillbaka till grottans dunkel, där kamraterna nyfiket inväntar hans reseberättelse. Vad ska han säga? Han saknar ord för nästan allt han upplevt. Rulltrappor, mobiltelefoner, trafikljus, tåg och flygplan som går in för landning på Bromma. Inget av detta finns varken i berättarens eller åhörarnas föreställningsvärld. Inga ord kan ge rättvisa åt upplevelsen, och att enbart säga något om träden på Klara kyrkogård, som tycktes bekanta, känns lite futtigt. Kanske påstår han sig ha träffat gudar, om så bara i form av barska ordningsvakter i blåa uniformer, men troligare är nog ändå att han ger upp alla försök att berätta och istället hemfaller åt ganska allmänt hållna utrop av typen Jävlar, vilken grej!. Ja, eller motsvarande på stenåldersspråk. Lyssnarna i grottan ser klentroget på varandra medan resenären ler ett inåtvänt leende. Ungefär så kan man gestalta ett återkommande bekymmer för de forskare som studerar effekterna av psykedeliska substanser. LSD och så, ni vet. Försökspersonerna har helt enkelt väldigt svårt att beskriva sina upplevelser. När de väl återvänder från en tripp, ofta i noga kontrollerad laboratoriemiljö, sitter de ändå bara där och flinar och uttalar banaliteter i stil med Kärleken är allt!. Professorerna tar sig för pannan. Lika fullt är denna vetenskap mycket lovande. Under många år låg verksamheten i träda, delvis på goda grunder, men under senare år har denna akademiska öken åter börja blomma. LSD, psilocybin och liknande kemikalier blir allt intressantare för psykologer och medicinare som sysslar med depressioner, tvångssyndrom, ångest och beroendesjukdomar. Nog finns även de gamla flumtomtarna kvar, ofta kännetecknade av större frisyr än förstånd, men på det hela taget är hallucinogenerna på väg tillbaka in i den vetenskapliga värmen. Det var trots allt där alltsammans började. Det var i slutet av 1930-talet; den schweiziske kemisten Albert Hofmann på läkemedelsbolaget Sandoz framställde då ett lysergsyrederivat som gavs beteckningen LSD. Som så ofta hittade man inga praktiska användningsområden, men några år senare blev Hofmann av misstag sin egen försökskanin. Han råkade få i sig en gnutta av ämnet och upplevde historiens första LSD-tripp. Snart producerade Sandoz enorma mängder LSD som, i hopp om kommersiella tillämpningar, distribuerades gratis till universitet över hela världen. Under femtiotalet och in på sextiotalet var forskningen intensiv, och förhoppningen var att de psykedeliska substanserna skulle bli för psykiatrin vad mikroskopet var för biologin och teleskopet för astronomerna. Om drömmarna, som Freud sa, var kungsvägen till det undermedvetna, ansågs behandling med LSD vara något av en motorväg. Vid det laget hade man även återupptäckt psilocybinet, ett svampgift med urgamla anor inom högkulturerna i Mellanamerika. De spanska erövrarna försökte ihärdigt utrota kunskapen om dessa magic mushrooms, antagligen på grund av att giftet från bara några få svampar gav så starka, andliga upplevelser att katolikerna låg i lä, hur mycket rökelse och tingeltangel de än försökte med. Konkurrensen blev kort sagt för hård. Men svamparna dök alltså upp igen och tilldrog sig neurokemisternas intresse. Vetandet om de psykiska sjukdomarnas biokemiska grunder, som senare skulle avkasta moderna antidepressiva läkemedel, utvecklades fort under de här åren, delvis genom dessa experiment. Försökspersonernas erfarenheter var onekligen märkliga; de rapporterade om att jaget liksom löstes upp, om surrealistiska rymdresor och ytterst övertygande känslor av samhörighet. Ofta förekom även synestesi, alltså förmågan att se ljud och höra färger. Konstnärerna var inte sena att haka på, och när sedan psykologiprofessorn vid Harvard, Timothy Leary, introducerade substanserna inom hippiekulturen gick det snabbt utför. John Lennon, Bob Dylan och en hel armé av andra yngre trallgökar gjorde reklam, och när så The Summer of Love randades i San Francisco 1967, hade myndigheterna redan förbjudit all användning. Det får man förstå. För även om varken LSD eller psilocybin var beroendeframkallande så gav de ändå oönskade effekter. Viljan att kriga i Vietnam, till exempel, avtog betänkligt. Den seriösa forskningen pågick ännu en tid, men snart var det stopp även där. Tusentals vetenskapliga rapporter föll i glömska. Först vid millennieskiftet började man gräva upp dem igen, och vad som sedan hände berättas boken Psykedelisk renässans av den amerikanske författaren Michael Pollan. Jämförelsen med Renässansen, då man återupptäckte antikens litterära skatter är välfunnen. Så nu är man på det igen, och eftersom tekniken har gått framåt, liksom forskningen om serotonin och andra signalsubstanser, kan man i dag säga en hel del om vad som faktiskt händer i hjärnan under en psykedelisk tripp, samt även formulera goda hypoteser om hur det kan komma sig att sådana utfärder ibland har gynnsam inverkan på människor som är låsta i ältande och tvångstankar. Till historien hör att Michael Pollan testar själv, och fastän han tar hjälp av erfarna reseledare är sinnesintrycken fortfarande hopplöst svåra att återge, vilket författare som Aldous Huxley och Ernst Jünger insåg redan för längesen. Intressantare är vad vetenskapen har att säga. Vad händer till exempel när man stoppar in en påtänd person i en apparat för magnetröntgen, eller mer korrekt magnetisk resonanstomografi? Hypotesen var att hjärnaktiviteten skulle vara kaotisk och starkt förhöjd, men det visade sig vara tvärtom. Särskilt svag var aktiviteten inom det så kallade standardnätverket, ett för tänkandet centralt nätverk som kan liknas vid en orkesterdirigent, vars uppgift är att hålla samman systemet och dämpa hjärnans mer bångstyriga tendenser. Beskrivningarna av jagupplösning, och känslor av samhörighet med allt och alla, tycks ha att göra med denna inaktivering av standardnätverket. Som om personens ego stängdes av. Denna inre dirigent finns för övrigt inte från början; små barn antas därför befinna sig på en psykedelisk tripp för jämnan, vilket väl ungefär alla föräldrar någon gång har anat. Hjärnan kan jämföras vid en dator; när den hänger sig behövs en omstart. Så förklaras varför LSD och annat i den vägen kan bryta behandlingsresistenta depressioner och tvångsmässiga missbruk samt, fascinerande nog, även döende människors ångest. Entusiasterna påminner visserligen om hälsofanatiker som har sett ljuset i form av LCHF eller vad det nu kan vara, så man bör nog inte helt byta ut kantarellerna mot slätskivlingar i släktet Psilocybe, men ändå; andra illegala droger opiater, amfetamin och så vidare förekommer lika ofta som läkemedel. Så varför inte också psykedeliska substanser? Om inte annat kan sådana kemiska äventyr säkerligen ersätta en del av de resor som ändå inte ger mycket mer än flygskam, tarmparasiter och foton av elefanter som ingen vill se.

TR2100 aka TIO ROD Mixtape for May.

This weeks mix is from Lorraine Psilocybe Tribe.  A chilled progressive mix brimming with atmosphere and psychedelic grooves.  Lorraine began Djing in 2002 and has quickly established herself within the UK psy party scene where she's built up a reputation as a friendly, positive DJ and promoter.  Enjoy the mix :)    Lorraine (Psilocybe Tribe/Sunrise/Anushka/Shanti/UV)   Track listings:   J & B Project-tschigibaem Terahert-solar noon J & B Project-sound like it Digital Drop-kammerad schwungrad Suntree-observation(Flegma & Nerso rmx) Etic-as it happens Sideform-santo diame E-Clip-equillibrium Aerospace-far off Aerospace-recently    Artists Bio:   'I discovered psy trance in 2002 through my mate Ash (Celtic Psy forum keymaster/Psilocybe Tribe(prev.k/a DossePosse)), after 25 years of northern soul & 2 years of techno! I began accumulating tunes, going to club nights-Alien Resonance/Sunrise/U.V/Kulu/Cabbage & outdoor psy parties in North Wales. I never set out to be a dj, I just wanted to hear my taste in psy trance. I began by playing a few tunes @ the end of outdoor parties when everyone else was too wasted to play. Then, based on my enthusiasm & taste, (I think !?) Bez23(Kulu) asked me if I was up for playing @ Kulu (Bradford May 2005) WoW-my chance to play my favourite tunes. I wasn't gonna turn that chance down just because I couldn't dj ! I had 2 months to get to grips with the mechanics of dj ing, anyway its the tunes that count !! It's been & still is a slow but interesting learning curve this dj malarkey. But, hey I'm enjoying it & for as long as they keep making tickety boo tunes that make me move I'll keep wanting to play them. Thanks to Ash (celtic psy forum admin/psilocybe tribe & good friend) for getting me hooked on psy trance, for letting me practice on his cdj1000's and for sorting me my own decks & mixer. Thanks to Gerry Aum (Kulu/Sunrise) for 1st putting the headphones on my head and encouraging me. Thanks to Bez23 & Kulu for starting my dj ing ball rolling. Thanks to Messmedia's leap of faith by giving me my 1st residency. Thanks to Sunrise (Leeds) for my 2nd & current residency. Thanks to Anushka (Bristol), Shanti (Liverpool), UltraViolet (Wirral) & AudioAddictz (internet radio) for also taking me on as a resident Thanks to all who have let me loose behind their decks & have helped to make me the obsessed psy trance anorak I am today !!'   About backtogoa:   Connect with the show on our facebook:  http://www.facebook.com/NorthSoundscape
