“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.” ― Terence McKenna

Wow...a millions times wow. This was an incredibly gripping and moving talk. Psychedelics are the medicines we need to heal our broken world.

this is the 4 th time i have come back to watch this talk

Well spoken Katherine! It seems to me, all about exceptence. The wonderful grace of exceptence.. That's what I learned from psilocybin..: another word for Love! Start slowly..but except what is experienced as you, yourself, and 'bad trips' does not appear.:-)

Thank you

beautiful. Really! Thanks for doing that.

Terence Mckenna would be proud of you :)

thanks for sharing knowledge and wisdom :)

Like the talk, .. sceptical about a common thread of feeling connected, people also report depression among other things, .. also, why not try them (which I think you must have), ...

+Adnan Sagar For mushrooms it's not about having a good or bad experience, it's about having an experience. Good and bad is something humans invented to control reality.

Totally and wholeheartedly agree, .. putting an emphasis on the 'good side' and/or setting expectations of what psychedelics can do can be disappointing .. I don't believe anyone has understood this subject fully to have a coherent argument about the topic ..

Adnan Sagar I absolutely abhor Western logic. High fructose corn syrup = good and psilocybin mushrooms = bad. I mean, what exactly is our priorities here? Western Medicine is about making money, not healing. If I ever get cancer, I'm tracking down or making my own Rick Simpson oil (phoenix tears). Fuck chemo.

OMG - had a very similar experience....

Hum I was led here from looking into magnetic fields and the ferrofluid cells. Just to discover I was lead to magnetism from my mind being opened up from meditation and a few encounters of being on the other side of life. Most call it death but from what I seen it's where we really live. I don't know how many times I would get to that one place in meditation and chicken out from fear of the unknown but once you finally cross into the unknown nothing seems the same coming back out of the meditation. Psychedelics if used right are a tool to make it happen sooner /easier, opens the blockages, clears the pathways. Just don't become one of the lost one's in there unless you want to be locked in a mental hospital lol

Katherine, Do you feel an equivalent amount of psilisybin from a biological source (mushroom) would be as beneficial as the pure active ingredient?

Sweet Relief Cannabis Oscar same thing, it's more about context in how we integrate it into our mind.

You are unique, peculiar, phenomenal, out of the ordinary, extraordinary, unimaginable, unthinkable, strange, weird, outlandish, outstanding, oddball, incredible, funny, crazy, spaced-out, curious, wild, fantastical, fantastic, phantasmagoric, hallucinatory, daydreamlike, surreal, visionary, legendary, romantic, pictured, fabulous, ideal, imaginary, chimerical, a figment of consciousness...

Get on Joe Rogan.

ridiculously overselling the experience (both mushrooms and death): try it and see.

Wouldn't it depend on your sensitivity to such an experience? Your mindset, environment, state in your life? Even diet and illnesess and dose of course. I know people who tried it like it was a beer. I don't think that's the approach mentioned by Katherine. When they talk about that experience it doesn't sound to be very psychedelic.
