Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Taking Psilocybin can be life changing under the right environment. It can be terrifying and relieving. Its not about the visuals, but more about thinking differently about the past present and future. It is already being studied for treating depression and ptsd. I hope this scientific work continues.
I wish we'd just do away with the entire scheduling system and functionally legalize all drugs. It can't be worse than the current situation.
FYI for anyone outside the US, the video is geolocked but using a VPN works (though YMMV as using a cloud server in the US didn't work so it seems some IP blocks are blocked).
The Emerging Magic Mushroom Monopoly
Not an issue here in Canada. After about a year of trials Health Canada approved psilocybin and MDMA for medicinal therapies back in January.

Let’s start with a skiing comparison.
“Thinking over and over again is like skiing down a mountain - once you go down one way you are more likely to go down that way again. In depression, people often ski down well established ruts. Psilocybin is like a new coating of snow on the mountain, so that there is much more freedom to ski anywhere (a greater ability to think freely and tolerate a broader range of emotions). The psilocybin can be seen as helping you find different paths down the mountain.”
This is a great comparison as it covers the range of potential benefits and risks of these substances.
Google "psychedelic psychotherapy metanalysis" or "systematic review " which does exactly this.

Music playlist (v1.2.) for psychedelic therapy sessions for depression with psilocybin
The music playlist used in this study is displayed below. Please note that the playlist did not merely list the selected songs in the structure suggested below, but included a thoughtful mixing of volume, fade-ins, fade-outs, and moments of silence. Also note that following this study, an updated version of this playlist has been developed that incorporates insights from this study. I particular the return-phase has been replaced by calming ambient music. The latest playlist version can be found via www.mendelkaelen.com

Psychedelics saved my life. I’ve seen firsthand the potential it has to treat - even cure - mental illnesses and substance abuse issues. Thanks to DMT, my depression, anxiety, social anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and alcoholism are far behind me. Psychedelics need to be legalized for medical purposes, at the very least.
