The Magic of Mushrooms: Understanding the Power of Psilocybin for Healing & Transformation
***This episode is for educational purposes only*** Today on HealingTALKS, we’re discussing an incredible healing tool that’s near and dear to my heart: psilocybin, AKA the active compound in “magic mushrooms”. As Paul Stamets brilliantly said, “mushrooms are not a party drug” - and today, we’re going to dive in to some mushroom myth-busting and the basics of how safe psilocybin usage can support you on your healing journey.  If you’d like to conduct your own research, here are some additional resources:  Watch “How to Change Your Mind” on NetflixListen to the HealingTALKS episode with Dr. Steven Radowitz on Ketamine-Assisted TherapyFollow @doubleblindmag on Instagram or check out their websiteJohns Hopkins Medicine Study: Psilocybin Treatment For Major Depressive Disorder Effective for Up to a YearJohns Hopkins Medicine Study: Magic Mushrooms Help Longtime Smokers QuitAmerican Society for Microbiology: Psilocybin and Mental Health: The Magic is in the Mushrooms I also recommend searching for information on bills in your state that are petitioning for the legalization of psychedelics.
