Summary
Psilocybin mushrooms (aka magic mushrooms) are being studied and used for their therapeutic and mental health benefits. These powerful substances have a long history of use in various cultures around the world, and are surprisingly safe if used carefully with medical supervision. At the same time, any drug, natural or not, presents a complex set of risks and rewards that must be considered. On this week’s podcast, you’ll learn about the popular new style of sub-perception use called microdosing.
Listen and learn:
- How one tenth of a psychoactive dose can provide many of the same benefits without a “high” or psychedelic experience
- Legal considerations and options for traveling with psilocybin
- How psychedelics might impact emotional processing and reverence for nature

| 0:00.0 | As I'm sure you're aware, there is a global trend movement to decriminalize, legalize, |
| 0:09.3 | or at least improve in medical settings, things like ketamine, the dissociative drug special |
| 0:14.2 | K for resistant depression, things like MDMA, ecstasy for PTSD, and now, psilocybin, magic |
| 0:23.6 | mushrooms for use with mental health issues. |
| 0:27.2 | On the one hand, this makes a lot of sense. |
| 0:28.7 | The war on drugs has been an utter failure by anyone's account. |
| 0:31.9 | On the other hand, there's a big worry of people getting taken advantage of, and also |
| 0:36.0 | just swapping yet another pill for an ill, whether it's from a natural source or whether |
| 0:41.7 | it's from a pharmacy, does it really matter? |
| 0:44.6 | I think my cynicism is appropriate in some cases, like when people are charging $5,000 |
| 0:50.1 | for a $5 dose of ketamine, that seems a little abusive. |

| 1:12.1 | option to use without any kind of impairment, a subperception dose, also known as microdosing. |
| 1:19.4 | Please note that we are talking about mushrooms, but we're talking about mushrooms that in some |
