Why Psychedelics Can Change The World - Prof David Nutt
Ғылым және технология
“The last 55 years of banning psychedelics is the worst censorship of research in the history of the world.” -Professor David Nutt
Professor David Nutt is THE go-to expert on psychedelics. His charity Drug Science is on a mission to break the stigma around hallucinogenic drugs, and inform the public on the real science behind their effects.
In this episode I ask David how drugs like magic mushrooms, MDMA, cannabis and Ketamine are able to treat brain disorders, like depression, so effectively - and why we’ve been led to fear these drugs.
Stay tuned to find out:
The truth about why psychedelics were banned in the first place
How safe these drugs are in both a medical and recreational setting
Whether human evolution was driven, in-part, by psilocybin mushrooms
About the most recent science and trials
Myths and misinformation surrounding their use
How soon we might see the legalisation of psychedelics

Taking shrooms was 100% one of the most important experiences in my life. Everything has changed since my trip - I perceive things differently.
I took a lot of LSD through the 1990's and unlike some people who claim that the odd dose of acid cured their depression taking LSD never cured my bouts of depression, if anything the comedowns from the trips made things worse for me, probably the returning back to the dreary reality of life at that time, depression is an illness that is so hard to treat, I never found anything that really worked for me, the therapy sessions were pretty much a joke and then we get those little pills that merely mask the symptoms but cause other problems for us, I hope that this research helps people get past the loneliness of depression..

You can't rely on a substance to cure your own mind's feelings. Only you really can. You have to be aware enough. You have to be accountable enough. If you are not willing to be self-aware of your own issues and aren't willing to take accountability for them, no amount of "medicine" will cure you. The only person who can cure yourself is yourself. It's your actions and thoughts that cause and cure depression.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

I can attest to this. Psychedelics are not to be taken lightly, however, if done properly, it can lead to profound insight. I was 20 years old and I took a handful of mushrooms with friends in college. The entire experience can be very overwhelming at first, especially if youre going into it with the goal of "partying". Anyways, at the time, I was a borderline pathological liar. Saying anything and everything in a desperate need to be liked. Sometime during my psychedelic trip, I was made to fully realize that my lies are the reason why nobody liked me. If i just relax, enjoy myself and the life i live, that I would find happiness there. any therapist can tell you this. Psychedelics make you see and feel it in a way that resonates. I don't know. Psilocybin mushrooms did more for my mental health than any antidepressant or therapist ever could, and I only had to take them once.

also, while mdma and cannabis can have hallicinogenic properties, i do not think they are powerful enough to have a proper "trip" where you meet your inner gods and demons and sort out who is who. also mdma has horrible side effects. i would personally recommend psilocybin mushrooms or ayahuasca. I have heard good things about LSD as well, however i know that a lot of street LSD is just research chemicals and thats very dangerous so I wouldnt recommend LSD personally.

I don't think psychedelics did this. You did this. You knew this deep down. The psychedelics likely brushed away all the debris from your mind to become aware of it, even though deep down you were aware of it and just didn't want to admit it. This won't help anyone if they don't already realize what's wrong. It's not a good thing to prescribe something based on personal experience with no extensive research into it. Like anything in this world, it will affect people differently from others. And they can still become addictive like any other drug or food. I wouldn't recommend it. Just watch in 10 years or more we'll likely have studies coming out about how they actually do harm when you're addicted to them. Advertising them as a depression cure is harmful as well because people will get addicted to them because they'll think their depression will go away. When there's so much more to them than just ingesting them.

Fyi the FDA advisory panel rejects MDMA as a PTSD treatment. In a blow to advocates of psychedelics for mental health treatment, a panel of experts voted against recommending that the Food and Drug Administration approve MDMA to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. The panel raised concerns about the study conducted by Lykos Therapeutics, which is hoping to get the drug approved as the first-ever sanctioned psychedelic treatment, questioning the data and potential risks. The FDA does not have to follow the panel’s recommendation, but it usually does. A final decision is expected in August.

Basically the "war on drugs" makes revenue for cities and counties. Marijuana and heroin were made illegal as a way to control the anti-war hippies (marijuana) and blacks (heroin). Nixon couldn't make the people illegal but, by associating these substances with them and making those illegal, the government had a means to control the groups it found problematic.

You don't need drugs to be anti-war. Lmao xD I don't take any drugs and I'm anti-war and anti-establishment and anti-governemnt and anti-monetization of things that can be harmful. I'm pro-skepticism of literally almost everything. I promote skepticism of everyone and everything. I'm not gonna believe something without years of experience. And I doubt these people had enough years to actually study these drugs and how it affects people considering the drugs were banned and even a scientist would get in trouble for studying it. Marijauna is coming out as being a cause of psychosis now. Relying on drugs is not going to help your brain. That's just the plain reality of that. It won't cure your depression or anxiety. Depression and anxiety are not exactly things you can cure period. They're natural hormones every animal feels. Anxiety especially is our natural fight or flight mechanism. You get rid of anxiety in humans and you essentially cease them from being able to survive in a way. And giving people disability money for it may only be enabling it instead of having them overcome it and fight through it.

Same as the treatment for opiate addiction! Is every difficult for regular doctors to prescribe it outside of specialized clinic asking with strict therapy making hard for those people to to aquire and maintain jobs because of the strictness of the treatment plan
Unfortunately lawmakers are absolutely useless at taking responsibility and will not admit "war on drugs" is completely disaster and waits of taxpayers money.
Awesome!
47:49 DUDE FINALLY A GUY WITH SOME SENSE… regulated access would be ground breaking. A few trips a year at maximum access. I agree with this 100%.
Cool video... Thank you for uploading it! Hearing about having to do the microdosing study in hospitals only makes me think of the best way to derive therapeutic value from Psychedelics... In all seriousness I believe a phat party where you are on Psychedelics with loved ones that is joyous and celebratory all up is much more therapeutic and healing than having to deal with a stern bloke with a clipboard in a drab and sterile environment like a hospital who essentially has the Psychological frame that he is superior to you (as an expert) and you are a broken being with a damaged or malfunctioning biology.... #Hope and #progress...
It comes back because the memories likely haven’t been processed. Until they’re properly processed or turned down the intensity of the memory, they may reexperience the trauma hundreds of times over and over.
Psychedelics are so powerful when the user experiences “realizations”. That feeling can last with you for life. Powerful metaphors and metaphysical thoughts lead to this… this “woke” feeling is extremely potent. And I feel it can shock people out of negative thought patterns. We have to facilitate “realizations” in the user in order for it to have meaningful change. No only that but also support and the down to earth conversations that make the user more open to acceptance and looking at things as “glass half full” rather than empty.
Brilliant. Thank you .

Highly recommend!
@Jake38nine
Ай бұрын
If you had done the drugs without a year of therapy, I doubt it would've helped you at all. For you to solve problems you must be aware of them in the first place. Therapy surfaced those problems over a year for you and the drugs washed away all of the debris for you to see it clearly and be more aware of it. If you took them without therapy, I highly doubt your symptoms would vanish. So it is NOT safe to recommend without a fully disclosed study on multiple people who take the drug before and after therapy, which would take years because therapy takes years. But the main part of the study would be to see if the results are the same with and without therapy. But I highly doubt it. It also relies on the honesty of the patient. There's so many variables that nobody can control all of them, thus generally recommending a drug is not advised. We can study how something affects pain or illness because it affects body parts and organs that only have one job. Whereas the brain can literally psyche yourself out and gas light yourself. If you really tried, you could convince yourself that you're a rabbit. That's how powerful and unpredictable the brain is. The brain evolves much faster as well. What could help us adults now may not help our grandchildren or great grandchildren because the brain evolves and adapts so often to its surroundings, thus trauma, suffering, trials, and tribulations will always exist. There will never be a cure for ailments of the brain. It's just scientifically and logically impossible because the brain changes rapidly.

(If you commented on this in the video I will correct it haha) I find your use of fly agerica mushrooms in the thumb nail interesting… technically hallucinogenic but I don’t think it’s truely psychedelic. The main compound in those mushrooms is muscimol a deliriant hallucinigen. It causes hallucinations by modulating gaba receptors. Unlike classical psychedelics which seem to increase glutamatergic drive through 5-HT2a receptor modulation (it’s metabotropic receptor modulation so the actual ionatropic changes are down stream).

Debateable. You have no idea how it will affect other people. And if their hallucinogens, then you cannot predict what another person may see. What you see as peace another person could see as savagery. Connecting to nature also means all the suffering and savagery that comes with it. There's no peace in nature. Only survival. Even pants don't survive. However, plants are not conscious enough to be aware of their surroundings, thus they do not have survival instincts. Everything in nature is made to serve another being. There's a natural cycle of life. Everything in nature is sustenance to another. Even the predators eventually become sustenance to scavengers, bugs, and the soil that plants grow from. If you want to truly connect to nature, go live in a forrest for the rest of your life with nothing but the skin on your hide. That's true connection to nature. You will NEVER be truly connected to nature for as long as you have the current technology you are using to make these statements or even the clothes you're currently wearing. No amount of drugs will ever connect you to nature. And I can guarantee that if you took these shrooms in nature, nature would not care about your peace or safety because while you're hallucinating that a puma is your regular house cat, the puma has already ripped out your throat. Nature will not care about you because nature is not peaceful.

A lot of pyschedelics have a very very low potential for addiction as the tolerance is extremely strong and sets in about 4 hours after first usage. If I wanted to take LSD everyday for 2 weeks and feel the same high each time, id need about 8000 tabs. If I wanted to get drunk everyday for 2 weeks id need like 2 or 3 bottles of hard liquor.

No we want people to get addicted to alcohol and pretend that 14 units per week is absolutely no harm, on top of that let's normalise ultra processed food and being any weight is healthy.

Most of the greatest thinkers in history ingested psychedelics. Might be a sign

That's impossible to say. That's a bias you came up with based upon biased information you heard. I highly doubt you actually looked into every great thinker in the entire world's history. "greatest thinker" is also a neutral phrase. You are likely thinking of it as a positive phrase, meaning you think of certain thinkers as the greatest because they did or said good things. However, even the greatest of thinkers can be horrible people. It's also hard to depict who is a great thinker as those two words are opinions and biased. Hitler was a thinker and could even be considered a great thinker. There is no general rule or proof of "Great thinkers" because there is no such thing as a great thinker. Only our interpretations, which are opinions. Just like the hippies who said they connected with nature, yet wouldn't actually leave their cozy societal communities within the safety of human protection. If hippies truly cared about nature, they would've gone and lived within nature. None of the hippies actually went and lived in nature. Because if they did, we wouldn't have so much history about them obstructing other humans. Why couldn't hippies leave society and human regulation and create their own place in nature and defend themselves in nature? Why do we even know the names of famous/infamous hippies? It doesn't logically make sense. If Nature could actually speak for itself, Nature would even reject hippies because hippies were too cowardly to actually leave human society and fend for themselves. Literally nobody is stopping you from leaving human society and living in nature and fending for yourself. This is why I beleive hippies were the beginning of virtue signaling cults. They wanted to pander to things that they didn't even take seriously. Once again, if hippies took nature seriously, they would've made a statement by leaving human society, not leeching off of human society.

@@Jake38nine you need to calm down. People on the internet are not your enemy, you gotta direct this energy into something more constructive. This entire rant you typed up is a manifestation of exactly what you described hating: virtue signaling BS coming from an angry lazy entitled ignorant child on the internet You can extrapolate whatever the hell you want from my comment. Psychedelics have been a part of nearly all recorded cultures through time. This is a well accepted fact. The stigma around drugs is a very modern thing, and there is quite likely something to gain from these substances. Humans can uniquely benefit from drastic shifts in perspective. This has been well understood by humans for thousands of years, hence the entire idea of “right of passage” or “hero’s journey” or whatever. Mind altering chemicals provide a shift in perspective, and have been utilized as such for thousands of years. They do serve a purpose, whether you like it or not.

@@kylenmaple4668 Mmmmmm nah. You just ignored and denied my entire argument, so I'll do the same to you. Lol. Treat others how you want to be treated. You're too far gone on your drugs. Maybe get off them and start thinking for yourself instead of needing a substance for all your ideas. Also, the video was about shrooms curing depression and anxiety, not perceiving a different world. Guess what? I've been 100% sober my entire life minus 1 night. I have a creative mind and can see millions of different perspectives without a damn drug. You need get better at thinking. Needing a drug to make you better at thinking is kinda pathetic.
Its legal here in Canada. I really dont see what the big deal is. Its unbelievably strong, even in really small doses. Its hard to function and do everyday things. I dont really see what the hype is about. I just high nothing therapeutic about it. Ill just stick to weed.
Hi doc my theory is that the psychedelic O.C. the brain temporarily and all the tree of thought is calculated at once, which results in a "game reset" for the human. Also works well with proper pre-feeding the system for the O.C. event. Not a biologist.

The main worrying thing about psychedelics is the US army providing psychedelic treatment for the people who's lives they've ruined. The traumatised soldiers don't have a disorder...they're the only ones with a shred of humanity left

You lost me at the Salem witch trials and talking about ”misogyny” as if there weren’t occult practitioners that deserved such a fate now I’m not saying everyone was a witch but saying that is was all nonsense is very naive and you’ve lost a viewer for allowing such a secular and evil viewpoint be established
