Psychedelics for Therapeutics and Well-being with Tim Ferriss | SXSW 2022
Modern research on psychedelics is turning the “turn-on, tune-in, and drop-out” culture of the 1960’s upside down. What was once considered a recreational activity is now an evidence-based treatment for psychiatric disease. But how can psychedelics be widely used to alleviate human suffering through clinician-guided treatment of illnesses such as depression, PTSD, and addiction? Do mystical-type and insightful-type experiences associated with these substances improve overall well-being in patients and in healthy individuals? How can investors make psychedelic medicine accessible by financing academic research and for-profit companies and clinics? What is next for the 21st century renaissance of psychedelic medicine as it becomes an established treatment and wellness aid? Learn more in this panel discussion organized by the New York Academy of Sciences for SXSW 2022.

I find in my limited experiences, the heavier ego dissolving doses gives me the lesson, while the little ones are like reminders. I have not experienced any benefit for a mid dose. Go big to get the wisdom, go small to keep that wisdom in memory. Cause I found after about 6 months or so I had mostly 'lost' my effects from the lessons. I know. But I don't feel it like I had. But the smaller ones definitely help.
I think our civilization is challenged to come to terms with aspects of consciousness and reality that defeated others before. Hopefully the scienfic method can help.
Great search for evidence based positive therapeutic outcomes with psychedelics on mental health… Unfortunately, it isn’t legally available, so many suffer needlessly knowing help is right there at their fingertips but beyond their grasp. It is frustrating to have this knowledge and so eager to share it, however, it is like giving one false hope. How can it be made available to those who suffer?
Psychedelics should be used with caution, I was having a good first time trip while the weather was nice, until a storm came and all of a sudden my thoughts turned negative, and that is the worst thing that could happen. At the peak of the trip I was tripping that my body was somehow cut in half and that my left side was different from my right like completely. And then the trip stopped there right as I was thinking about that. I literally came out of a trip still feeling like a half body. Wanted to suicide to make it stop and then I remembered that sleep is the main reset. And somehow sit in my car and drove home like literally feeling like I have 1 arm and 1 leg. Barely came home from the forest alive and went to sleep. Felt better tomorrow but I ended feeling like a half body for a year after that.
Until I was ready to take a new mushroom trip and this time planned a sunny day, and planned to merge my brain hemispheres and body halves together again. And it worked and now im cured and normal again. In fact I might feel the best ever since that last trip from 2 years ago.
Psychedelics are an amazing way to change your brain so you must be very careful and have ONLY positive thoughts.
Next time I want to try in darkness in a room, and not in nature.
Really sad to see this comment section overwhelmed with spammers and random dudes offering to ship psychedelics. Solid panel of individuals here.
Great share, very informative video. Love the content..!
I’ve been taking mushrooms regularly for a year and a half to help with depression and I don’t feel like I’m improving at all what am I doing wrong.
I'm bipolar….I want my mushrooms….NOW!
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
In the meantime back to pointlessness and existential dread.
Finally an expert in the space covering the right info, awesome video
Great talk! Cheerz =)
