Psychedelics: Lifting the veil | Robin Carhart-Harris | TEDxWarwick

Robin has been conducting pioneering brain imaging studies of psychedelic drugs. Most recently, he has completed the first phase of a clinical trial looking at the potential of psilocybin to treat depression, and his talk looks at how these drugs can be used in treatment.
After completing his PhD at the University of Bristol in 2009, Robin moved to Imperial College London, where he has worked for the last few years on the brain effects of LSD, psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and MDMA, conducting some pioneering brain imaging studies of these drugs. Most recently he has completed the first phase of a clinical trial looking at the potential of psilocybin to treat major depression.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

    Hear! Hear! I honestly think that they (the institutions & Big Pharma) have such an almost completely useless (and yet very, very profitable enterprise) in place with their highly suspect SSRI / CNS drugs, etc., that they see only a loss when it comes to psychedelics and the like. I don't think they're concerned about another counter-culture revolution, but perhaps I'm wrong there. There's been enough very positive research done for them to go full throttle ahead if they chose to. Maybe it is the worn out, old stigma that stops them moving forward as they should? The results he's provided here have been duplicated everywhere and, if science is truly the issue, then this sort of research should be a big, big positive when it comes to mental health, etc. But science is clearly not their priority. So I assume (as with everything else) that it must come down to $$$$$$.

    Also now, I believe Oregon has decriminalized it, as well as a whole host of other mind altering substances. If the whole country eventually goes that way, we can put the hideous drug cartels out of business and put an end to all the horror and misery they cause, both here and in the countries where they are based. Then we can spend all the billions we save by calling off the so called war on drugs, and treat anybody who gets addicted to any of the substances that have been legalized. Of course the drugs would be taxed too, generating even more money. It makes all the sense in the world to me.

    Pharmaceuticals can only help you suppress your depression by making you ignore and cloud the root cause of your depression . Let alone that they are addictive and must be taken daily and when the effects wear out you feel even worse than before. Let alone all the long term psychotic side effects. On the other hand, psychedelics help u connect new bridges in your mind that your whole perception of reality changes. It is a tool that allows you to dive deep within yourself and makes you look into all your problems dead in the eye and confront them.

They can help one gain a new perspective on life and provide the user with insightful thoughts on things normally taken for granted. My use of psilocybin has made me more appreciative of the short time I have on Earth.

The less distractions there are after imbibing, the deeper this dialogue will be, sit quietly surrounded by loved ones and listen closely to what the sacred mushroom has to say, it is the supreme plant ally, the master teacher!

It’s not an awakening it’s an understanding and you experience this all through feelings and emotions it’s not logical or rational. I definitely think I had an ego death of some sort. Maybe not complete ego death but the door was definitely swung open. I had a really good time but I don’t think I’ll need to do that again for a very long time.

    I've taken a few (maybe 5) LSD trips. On my most remarkable trip I realized I was communicating telepathically with my partner. So there's that. I also had a hand-to-hand combat with a satanic dragon. When the dragon was finally getting the better of me, I said, "Help me God!" and instantaneously the dragon was sucked away from me and I woke up startled. My partner said, "wow, you're strong." So there's that too. The experiences gave me me such deep realizations and changed my life forever.

    They are available anywhere you have postal access, you purchase the spores from web sites in Europe or the U,S, and teach yourself by use of commonly available literature as to how to grow them. By trial and error within a few months I was able to produce adequate amounts of magic mushrooms, I was 18 years old. So where there is a will there is a way so they say just keep in mind although there is no inherent harm in consuming them it is best not to let the mind get too carried away until you get a feel for how they act upon you, then you can let em rip:-) More educational than four years of college!

Its something everyone should experience at least once in their life time. Yes ive had the hardest laughs and long wheeping crys while on mushrooms. and conversations with either my conscious mind or god(still dont really know) that i will never forget. to this day i feel more humble and alot more loving. Everyone will experience it differently but i find people who are more attached to their ego or their belief system may have a hard time, because these drugs dont care for what you think you know about anything, it will rip you from your ego so its better to relax and not hold on so hard.

The preperation and environment have to be right or these drugs can be incredibly dangerous. As he says, controlled environment and prepared patient.

I've eaten mushrooms regularly (1-4 times a month) for the last 6 years and it's been nothing but beneficial to my mind, body and soul. before mushrooms, life was pretty dark and bleak, I unknowingly suffered from depression and anxiety and after my first "trip" (it's got that name for a reason, it's a bit of a journey) I was able to acknowledge my inherent disorders and fears. it really is a wonder drug and a super food, I'd recommend to anyone, even very happy people.

You can buy a growkit which legal in most countries and you can grow mushroooms at your home(which is technically illegal, but ok whatever, as long as noone tells on you). Growing seems pretty straightforward so in general producing mushrooms seems to be quite asy. I still haven't done or tried that yet, but I have ordered my first growkit yesterday :)

    Psychedelics have helped me immensely with depression. I never would believe that I have been one to abuse them. The times in my life I have used them were dark and depressing times and psychedelics have, like Robin had said, "Lifted the veil". They allow me to unearth the repressed thoughts, memories, and emotions, and face them head on, and being cognizant of what is happening to be able to somewhat psychoanalyze myself. Much like a dream, what is unearthed is abstract and symbolic, and it is import to be able to decipher the experience into what it actually means in real terms, as to say actualize and realize the experience. I would be so happy to see psychedelics become more available in methods of treatment and medicinal use Western medicines.

    Timothy Timer hi Timothy , nice to know u benefitted from it greatly. I suffer from depression and Ocd symptoms and I want to try magic mushrooms as a lot of people with these conditions have recovered with mushrooms. I take Ssri drug which do help me, but they still don't allow me to tap the subconscious and they have the foggy feeling and a kind of numb feeling which I don't like at all. I wanted to how long the effects of mushrooms lasted for you? In studies it showed 6-14 months. In some of testimonials I read in forums people had different long term effects , for some just 3-4 doses knocked out their depression/Ocd for life...while for others they had symptoms returned(mild and not severe) after 6-8 months and needed to dose mushrooms again to be fully relieved. And another 5-10% who didn't benefit from it. As such 90% people with depressive and anxiety response getting positive response is unheard of and simply amazing. I would be interested to know how mushrooms impacted you long term, and what was the last time you took it and how much recovered on a scale of 1-10 would you say? I hope magic mushrooms help me and make me free from the Ssri drug and it's daily dosing.

    Ahmed Rb I cannot really advise you. We are all different. I would recommend to you to consult with a health care professional about your intentions and desires. In the end it is your choice however. My experience with mushrooms was out of curiosity and I had no desired effect from them. The experience was insightful, uplifting, and at times it was somewhat depressing. The importance is to be able to decipher the experience much like you would a dream. Realizing the symbolic nature of these experiences is what I believe will truly help you dissolve any traumas. It's not like you just take a substance and voila, you are cured. It is a process and takes focus and awareness to reconstruct the symbolic nature of the experience and what it means to you, and in doing so you are able to "see" how and what needs to be changed. These are not substances to be abused, and it is indeed one of the major reasons they are repressed, shunned, and misunderstood by most cultures. I don't want to sound lecturing but I think that is something important to think about and understand before jumping to the conclusion that psychedelics will be the cure all end all. Anyway, in my experiences I tend to agree that the profound positive long term effects are invaluable to those suffering. It's also not like you can dose psychedelics after work and be cured, and just go about your life as you were the next day. It is important to be in the healthy and open mindset and environment to begin the journey. Treat it like you would a vacation in a sense. Allow yourself time to prepare and time to unfold and recollect yourself afterwards through reflection and understanding. It is also important to have someone you are comfortable to talk about the experience with for support. Someone non judgemental, and that will only truly listen to you and walk you through any confusion of the journey. In any word, I wish you the best peace and understanding in your journey. Know that everything is temporary.

    Timothy Timer Thanks for your honest and insightful reply. As you used just out of curiosity, did it help you in Cognitive tasks like studying, at work, focus and do critical reasoning better. In research it showed the Brain regions which previously were unable to communicate are able to start communicate after taking psilocybin mushroom. Did you in a way feel Mental blocks removed from your mind which might have been there earlier. I am not seeking for a cure, just want to see if it can help my mind function at higher level , ease many of depressive and anxiety symptoms and get peace of mind. I noticed you mentioned Psychedelics helped you overcome depression in your first comment, hence I asked you how it really helped and in what mental factors you improved .

    7:30 - "Perhaps the most important thing to have come out of our research with psychedelics isn't the knowledge of how they work in the brain but rather some idea of how they may be useful or how they may be applied." It's important to note here that the benefits of psychedelics described in this video are limited to the narrow field of remedial medical application. While this is a valid, ethical, and desirable use of psychedelics, their true potential actually lies in their monumental planet-changing ability to reconnect society with spirit. 10:42 - "So the key point is that these are not party drugs; they're incredibly powerful substances that should be treated with respect, as they have been, by certain cultures for hundreds, if not thousands of years." It's worth clarifying that psychoactive plants have been used for thousands if not tens of thousands of years.

    Neither one is more 'powerful' than the other, it would depend on your dose. 250ug of LSD will always dwarf 1g of psilocybin mushroom. The mushroom will give you a more internal, physically comfortable journey. It answers questions, and guides you with grand visions of the grand scheme. LSD is much more external (for me), and very rapid, aggressive and intense. It asks more questions than it answers and can leave you utterly disoriented. You'll think a great deal about patterns, systems, psychology, politics and conventional creations, rather than the natural world. Both heavily depend on set and setting. In my opinion LSD relies more on setting, and psilocybin more on set. Mushrooms create a dreamy, lucid state of thinking where the mind wanders, whereas Acid is very acute, and alert, comparatively. Everyone reacts differently, and everything is heavily dependant on various chemical compositions and environmental factors, but this is my general take on it.

    Leary, in retrospect, did remind me of a carnival barker in the drunken- dumb-show the 60's turned into. However the initial discoveries should not be discounted because of later excesses. His book with Alpert and Metzner "The Psychedelic Experience" is a notable achievement. It was done before the excesses took over and gave rise to the criticisms you rightly make a subtle note of. If the truth be told the media has a lot of responsibility for the drunken-dumb-show the 60's turned into.

I've read a bit about him and do not find myself favorably impressed by a lot of it.To be honest if I had read nothing at all bad about psychedelics and instead read positive things which I did prior to 1966 in the mainstream press I would not have the fears that so many people attribute to the substances. I consider the psychedelic experiences of over 40 years ago some of the most significant insights and experiences of my life. That's being said I have not used them in decades but find little to say negative about them.

I can't speak from direct experience because I didn't exist until the 90's but my peers and I seem to be a lot more cautious about taking these drugs now. We are taking them in lower doses than what I've heard people in the 60's did. We are blessed to have the internet so we have more information about harm reduction, and believe it or not LSD is at the highest purity it has ever been at thanks to the deep web (except for that pure medical LSD that was out there). I don't really know where I'm going with this, but you seem like a cool guy. It is just cool to hear from someone who was there when this culture shift occurred.

    Arnpor .. True ,but the material he discussed was just as valid from valid sources. Just as "hardcore" . The reason they pulled him was not because it was not his material . Only they and possibly Hancock know .

    I tried MDA and I feel so much clarity after it. It's obviously not LSD or shrooms, but it tripped me out so much and I think I have lasting benefits from it. I haven't felt any social anxiety since using it like I normally do a little bit, for example.

    Good presentation, but I think no one should tell anyone what they can and can't put into their own bodies. This shouldn't just be used on depressed persons, but also people that aren't.

    Based on my own experiences (never suffered from depression), the changes in outlook on life are long lasting but not all permanent. In my case, a small part of what I learned is permanent - probably for life - but the rest seems to fade over months and years as the 'self' slowly becomes fixed again, as it is in adults. I suspect that for most patients, repeated use will be required for optimum benefit. For some, maybe once every year or two, for the worst cases, maybe once a month. In fact, I feel pretty sure that'll turn out to be the case.

    Mushrooms really put things into perspective for me, and made a lot of deep problems seem trivial and laughable , they make you see love if you haven't and be more courageous if your not, if your too concerned with the self or being a nice person for your self, it takes that a way and show us we are all connected/ the same

    I trip a few times a year on LSD and shrooms/truffles. And i find it to be a lot of pure fun, i love thinking about the world,humans as a species,and the universe. And i often get a good look at myself and my flaws as a human being. Sometimes it leaves me with a sad feeling but i feel like i learn for that. but 90% of the time i feel like it has a good influece on me.
