"Oregon launches legal psilocybin access amid high demand and hopes for improved mental health care."

I wholeheartedly agree that psychedelic-assisted therapy requires accessible and equitable access.

This should not be a "boutique style" therapy for the privileged. Exploring consciousness is a birthright.

Mental health care IS health care.

TITLE: Psilocybin‐assisted psychotherapy for treatment‐resistant
depression: Which psychotherapy?

From the abstract, looks like interpersonal psychotherapy and intensive
short-term dynamic psychotherapy are the most promising candidates. 
I'll have to give this a full read later.

This might be of special interest to psychotherapists in and around
Washington, DC which has legalized psilocybin.  Of course, it being
available recreationally is not the same as a therapeutic regime -- but
therapeutic clinics are emerging rapidly in the area.

I microdosed magic mushrooms for about 2.5 years on and off. I also marcodosed sporadically.

It has helped my mental health more than I ever imagined.

🍄 are helping everyday people like me get their life back.

We require even more of a shift in narrative around psychedelics, and one way to do that is to talk about it.

Thanks for listening to my "fuck stigma" Friday night rant.

California Might Legalize Magic Mushrooms

A bill to legalize psychedelics is on a trip to California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office.

On Thursday, the California Senate gave final approval to a bill legalizing certain psychedelics for people who are 21 or older. If Newsom signs the bill, it will go into effect in 2025 and make it legal to possess or grow plant-based psychedelics, including psychedelic mushrooms.

Newsom has not said where he stands on the bill, but he has mostly been a critic against the war on drugs, having been a leading voice to legalize cannabis in California and reduce nonviolent offenses like drug crimes to misdemeanors rather than felonies. Last year, however, he vetoed a bill that would have allowed three California cities to operate supervised drug-consumption sites in efforts to combat fatal overdoses.

John Mutton and Tony Clement are company officers for Truffalo in Oka, QC. Related companies include Indiginuity Corporation, Manitari Pharma Corporation and Active Reshoring. Health Canada has approved Manitari Pharma's site plans for a license to grow magic mushrooms for research purposes. So, Mr. X and Anaconda are one step closer to getting a Controlled Substances Dealer's License for magic mushrooms. What else are they up to? https://www.biospace.com/article/optimind-provides-update-on-health-canada-s-dealer-license-under-joint-venture-with-manitari-pharma/ https://www.companiesofcanada.com/company/1257913-8/truffalo-corp #GreenbeltScandal #JohnMutton #MrX #DougFord #HouseOfCards #MagicMushrooms

Just whipped up a chocolate milkshake with 4g of powdered #MagicMushrooms for this fine Friday evening. Haven't tripped in a few months, and I think I need it. It's therapeutic and cathartic.

Earlier this year I live-tooted one of my trips, which was fun but I don't know if I'm gonna do that again...

A woman who had no mind’s eye, a condition known as aphantasia, developed one after taking magic mushrooms, a psychedelic drug. The woman reported that she could see vivid images in her mind for the first time in her life, and that the effect lasted for months after the drug wore off. Psychedelics could have therapeutic potential for people with aphantasia, who may struggle with creativity, memory, and emotions.

Women are utilizing psychedelics more frequently than men to self-treat chronic pain, mental health issues, and trauma-related conditions like PTSD. Despite this trend, there is a lack of specific research on the impact of psilocybin mushrooms for women.

Worum geht’s?

Die Essstörung Anorexia nervosa, auch Magersucht genannt, ist eine lebensgefährliche Krankheit. Betroffene leben meist mit einem verzerrten eigenen Körperbild und halten sich selbst mit starker Unterernährung für zu dick.

"Do not have anything with magic mushrooms. Don't have it, don't eat it, don't look at it... Disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer... BUT on a completely unrelated note, here's our selection!"

Screenshot of excerpt of an article that says "[...] many other jurisdictions globally. Do not attempt to recreate any of the content in this article, and do not attempt to cultivate, consume, possess, or sell psilocybe mushrooms.

"#LSD und #Psilocybin aus "#MagicMushrooms" sind Drogen, strikt verbotene Substanzen. Und doch könnte es sein, dass sie bald als Medikamente zugelassen werden - gegen #Depressionen und Süchte. Nach ihrer Entdeckung durch die Hippiebewegung verschwanden die Substanzen aus der Forschung. Aber inzwischen untersuchen Wissenschaftler*innen auf der ganzen Welt deren Heilungspotenzial."

3 months ago, none of us had any idea where to get magic mushrooms.

Today, everyone I meet has a pocket full of them and a buddy with a science lab in his basement.

That's crazy. We live in an interesting time.

When I was a kid I dreamed we'd see this for pot, though never expected that we would.

Now we're all turned on, tuned in, and dropped out.

When I was 16 I was convinced that psychedelics contained answers to questions that I could not articulate.

Back then I had some really terrible experiences and swore off psychedelics forever.

Now, 25 years later, we have more information and less fear about them. Like most things my fears were largely manufactured by my government.

I reintroduced the mushroom into my diet this year - and it's a very worthwhile experience as an adult.
