Researching Psilocybin ("Magic Mushroom") Therapy - UC Davis Psychedelic Summit 2023

Josh Woolley, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at UC San Francisco (‪@ucsf‬), discusses the topic "Researching Psilocybin Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Prospects." The lecture was recorded March 23, 2023, at the Psychedelic Summit on the UC Davis Health campus in Sacramento, California.
The UC Davis Psychedelic Summit brought together national experts to explore what the rapidly evolving field of psychedelics and neurotherapeutics may mean for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. These new treatment types may hold promise for anxiety, depression, substance use, obsessive-compulsive and post-traumatic stress disorders, among others. The event was hosted by the UC Davis Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, the UC Davis Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics, and the UC Davis Behavioral Health Center for Excellence.

    When I was kid (like 8) my dad had this garden that he said to never touch... in this garden was mushrooms and I ate 3 of them and hid upstairs, I began to shoot layers out my hands and would make like circles with my fingers and where I placed the circle over any object I could erase it and place it anywhere I put my hand over and would take the roof off and could see the stars then i could place it back. What ever I thought about i could fester. Long story short I had the roof of my house off and looked at meteorites fall in the room and light bulbs where just disco balls of lazers.. I WILL NEVER FORGET how much fun I had all by myself.... but I thought I was crazy when I woke up the next morning.

    Mushrooms are the best compound I've ever taken. They killed my cigarette addiction instantly, they redefined my relationship with myself, with others, and with reality as a whole. They're also the most terrifying thing I've ever done.

I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

    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 hate that psilocybin gets grouped with drugs like cocaine and heroin. Mushrooms are a remedy, not a vice! I went on a microdose treatment for a couple of months and within the first week, every sight of a cigarette got me questioning why I was doing all that to myself. It really works.

    You just have groups of various doses and tell them some will get placebo, some micro dose, some moderate dose and some hero’s dose and placebo group may think they had a micro dose

    do u ever wonder if using synthetic mushrooms will take away from traditional mushrooms like i find the weed now is like high thc and no cbd and the experience is not as good. or like fake vanilla vs real vanilla. also odd to me and hubris of therapists being guilds on mushrooms when basically more noob than u are. same reason i use magic mushrooms to not commit suicide. i can honestly say i hate the word taper off. when its really u are admitted to ssri or what ever and u are coming out of addiction tho we cant say that cus that would have to be accountability and healthcare we are not gona do that. lols its pretty infuriating u guys want to patent these things like honestly if u do magic mushrooms u are so against that whole concept.

    Magic mushrooms help with my anxiety, depression and PTSD. I feel at peace and do not have any symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD after each usage.
