Michael Pollan - Psychedelics and How to Change Your Mind | Bioneers

Koska just

Research has shown psilocybin to have potent to treat a range of psychedelic and behavioral disorder.

Psilocybin can offer a means to reconnect to our true nature-our authentic self-and thereby help us find meaning in our lives.

I haven't learned anything about how to change my mind. All I learnt about was Michael Pollen's fucking lame sounding trips. Maybe change the title of the video.

Could anyone recommend a contact for psycilocybn in the UK

Interesting, but the part on the first white man who took psilocybin was mexico in 1950's is wrong. They have been growing and consumed in Ireland since God was a boy.

Mushrooms can be a little bit addictive if you have that type of personality

This is how i feel, i appreciate therapy and the access to so many sources of help but you are the only person whos going to ever truly understand you and i feel like shrooms really do give me the opportunity to heal myself because its just me with me.

The thing that keeps coming to me as I’m trying to get into psychedelics somewhat. I’m curious. I wanna know more. I’m not afraid of taking psychedelics myself.

But watching my mom or my kids do it. I couldn’t. I can’t.

The question that keeps coming back to me constantly on this one … what about people that don’t want to have a drug experience? I get the feeling that we are peering down our noses at them. When in reality., some people don’t need a terrifying tear streaked experience to get through life.

In other words , I’m not convinced that the experiment is going to solve much. People always say drugs are going to solve everything prior to the legalization.

Maybe everybody just wants to trip and go to a good concert and that’s fine. When we start talking about spirits and enlightenment and all this, I just really kind of wonder. In the end, it may just be another teenage drug experience that we’re pumping up to be something it’s not because it’s been prohibited by the government for all these years and turned into a “martyr” drug.

Psychedelics cured my 36 year long heavy OCD problem!! First shrooms, then ayahuasca and then DMT

Can you help me for Avm brain 🧠 what to do

On my acid trip, i used to look at the mirror.
I always thought that i looked really good, like i was photoshoped.
My conclusion was that if u have a positive view of yourself, u would look good and vice versa.
And when i looked at my friends, they also looked ut. But when i looked at people i didn't know, they would looked weird.
I really think at everybody should experience an acid trip.
Too bad it got a bad rep.

People on the trip are not jumping from windows. They are inprisoned by psychiatry, medicated slowly to death. The reason is, that not psychonauts, nor psychiatrists, have any more then teen-age technology how to use it. Druids trained for 15 years in forests, talking to these plants daily, before permitted to use psychedelics. You just have absolutely no idea what you are doing, or to put it differently, you just trippin

One of the best talks on the subject I ever heard.

Really good speech! Very knowledgeable, and a great personality!!BRAVO!. Really good speech! Very knowledgeable, and a great personality!!BRAVO!.

i want it so bad,i need a reliable source

I live in Brazil.Just need to figure where to get some 😂.Depresion and anxiety plays a huge part in my life.

My experience with ayahuasca was like this, I became blades of grass, mountain soil, and so many other things. The most profound experiences I’ve ever had.

Please tell psychodelic retreat centres that are ttustworthy

Psilocybin saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Believe it or not, in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

Psyjets will have your order delivered to u anywhere anytime

Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here

Ok, but where can u get an experience?

Itunes? And didn't want to view anything else.... libtard........ Well your a libtard from the start and shows your changing through psychedelics.. .. still a libtard after trip..

I am so greatful and thankful I saw "how to change your mind' on Netflix and that it is legal where I live. It has literally changed my mind and my life. Thank you Michael Pollan

Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression. The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself.

I would love to hear what Pollan has to say, but too many distracting "uhs" and "uhms." 😑

Psychedelics in general have done what hundreds of hours of PTSD therapy couldn't. I went from being on 31 pill daily for mental states to 0 over the course of 13 weeks. Like everything in the world.
It's not for everyone and experiences will certainly vary. Me and my friends approached it from a lens of healing and learning and it's exactly what we got out of it.

I had given up hope and began using mushroom medicine. It has transformed me from the inside out. I'm sharing my journey now too and hope that people will benefit from it. Thanks for this great content.

My experiences have always thus far reminded me of our symbiotic relationship with not only the vast universe but everything around us . Thank you for this thoughtful message 🙏🏼

Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.

I like to look in the mirror. Thats how I know I'm ok.

What a fool, after what he went through, he is still a materialist, denying the supernatural nature of what he was exposed to.

Filthy heeb

If when using psychedelcis everything is more alive than it has ever been thanks to the reduction or sidestepping of the ego, I can't imagine the enlightened state of plants. And I mean that.

👆👆

psychedelic therapy could reverse effects of depression and mental issue

Psychedelics can be taken everyday… and some days you will feel like .. meh today I don’t want it and don’t have it and when you want to have it just have it 🫶🏼🔥🍄 your body will balance on its own

This guy gave up the best mushroom spot on earth and now it’s over run with DA agents hiding in the bushes ready to spring out and bust the 10s of thousands that do the pilgrimage to take them. Fuckin dweeb

Psilocybin saved my life! And I see psilocybin healing others in my life. I now preach their benefits any chance I get to anyone who will listen. The world needs these medicines now more than ever! They bring us to love ourselves and then spread that love to others.

Wow, the r word in 2019?

Weirdly, looking in the mirror was grounding for me.

Scientific topics analyzed by a journalist. What a crazy party!

Psychedelics were used in MK Ultra. Be very careful with this, especially drug assisted therapy. Can you imagine someone malevolent, highly skilled, working on YOU while you're under the influence?

Be careful. The ego dissolution coming from psychedelic use may "feel" good, but that's also a stage of brainwashing, destruction of your sense of self(ego) which feels the same, to then rebuild you into a new person. By being unable to differentiate between yourself and others (which is what having no ego is like) you are extremely susceptible to external influence, in the right conditions you can be led to believe another person is your thoughts.

Be safe.

Almost all the great things in my life has come from letting go of my ego and communicating on level with everything and everyone

Wow, I’m only 43 and nowhere near the same intellectual plane as Michael Pollen. How encouraging to hear he struggled with the link between spirituality and physical reality.
