Colorado voted to legalize psilocybin in 2022 [including state-wide home cultivation] and Oregon was the first state to allow adults to use [it] after a successful ballot measure passed in 2020. James Davis [who now runs Bay Staters for Natural Medicine] said legalization in Massachusetts would reduce the stigma that surrounds research scholars from studying…
…a shroom tender… psilocybin is still astoundingly just like cannabis, a schedule one controlled substance… criminal penalties for people who are just trying to help themselves and heal themselves. There’s no reason to get law enforcement involved with any of this. Now, I can see both sides of the argument about the benefit of doing…

Reggie Harris, founder of Oakland Hyphae, a Black-owned psychedelic education and cultural organization, said half a gram of shrooms costs less than $1 to produce. “What are we paying for? Are we paying for the 1-2 hours for somebody to sit with you on a microdose? No insurance is paying for this, it’s a straight out…
…psychedelics spurred new growth in both baby and mature neurons. But the mind-bending substances were 1,000 times more efficient than Prozac at grabbing onto a key molecular hub, TrkB.

Working with fungi helped Ari find freedom from her own substance use issues. With their help, she has chosen to be abstinent from alcohol…

Visions, meaningful dreams, seemingly miraculous healing and the intervention of the spiritual realm into our daily lives can suddenly seem like a possibility once again. I realized the Psychedelic Renaissance had arrived and churches are woefully unprepared. As I entered my second year at Duke Divinity…
“We disproved our initial hypothesis that psychedelic states (here with psilocybin) produce higher complexity,” Ort explained. “Unlike the observed reduction of complexity during dreamless sleep, anesthesia or minimally conscious states, the psychedelic state has the same quantitative complexity as in normal waking – even though the quality of the conscious experience has massively changed.” Ort…
