How Moldy Bread Can Change Your Brain

please do not eat moldy bread or moldy anything unless you know what kind of fungus made it moldy. i’m sure it’s possible that year-old slice of bread in the back of the cabinet could make you high but it is much more likely to give you food poisoning than anything else.

LSD may not allow you to read minds. But at proper doses, you will be convinced your dog can read yours.

LSD has been a major tool for me in managing and beginning to recover from combat PTSD. Spent a decade on pill cocktails from the VA before I was introduced to L, threw out all the pills after 3rd therapeutic use of L. 8 years later majority of the secondary issues of PTSD (depression, dissociation, isolating myself, BPD) are non existent. These days I microdose 10-20mcg a 1-2 times a week to manage anxiety, sleep disorder a couple other minor issues that weren't super noticeable before my major symptoms were controlled.

before anyone tries to eat moldy bread for a high, be aware that the side effects of unprocessed ergot can lead to amputations, simply not worth it

I should get back into psychedelics again. I kinda left them behind as I aged.... now I'm all grumpy and depressed. I could use a dose of sparkle.

Ironically LSD-25 is one of the best migraine treatments for Cluster Headaches, so he actually did succeed in finding a migraine medicine. As shown in Sewell's studies roughly 80% of LSD participants experienced remission of their migraines.

When I was a young teenager… I was extremely hateful, angry, and no self esteem. I even planned a shooting, I hated my classmates that much and the world. Then I did mushrooms at 15 years old and it changed my ENTIRE life. I felt one with the universe and everything in it. I realized everyone is special and that life is a beautiful gift. It immediately broke me down and put me into check. 15 years later and I’ve done psychedelics many, many times and they have only made me a more loving and grounded human. What a beautiful gift these medicines are. It’s a shame the state wants to tell people what they can and can’t use for their mental and spiritual health. But that doesn’t have to stop you, and I’m THANKFUL everyday that I was a rebellious teenager and took that first trip. How amazing my life has turned out to be from where I was and where I could be.

LSD and other hallucinogenics opened my eyes and led me to accept the fact that other people might think differently, and to accept those people the way I hope they will accept me.

it's as true now as it was back then: drop acid not bombs!

It's not mouldy bread it is bread made with grain infected with ergot fungus.

Schedule 1 classification is outrageous- just one example Grateful Dead fan base- it’s literally millions of people,let’s go low and say 1/2 of them have tripped,now let’s say not once but 5 times-this is still a lowball number,are they all insane? We’re talking 30 years of this experiment-it’s all ridiculous! That said individuals with any known mental health issues,people in a current crisis,basically fragile people-should avoid,although with sage guidance and very low doses…..it’s not a super casual experience-but I’m glad I had my turns!!!

As someone who has gone through the journey alone and with friends, mostly in nature, it sounds frightening to think of being in a clinical setting with random people I don't really know while tripping. It also seems counterproductive to limit someones experience by having their focus be solely inwards. There is so much to learn from the world outside of us as well. There needs to be more inclusion of those who have used psychedelics for centuries to understand themselves and the universe, like the indigenous cultures mentioned in the video. Psychedelics can benefit anyone, and they have the potential to make the world a better place than it is right now.

The "feeling a new zest for life" the next morning is actually very true. Even after having an unimaginable nightmarish horror trip...next morning I still felt like i was a newborn. Sadly that feeling never was permanent -> I was never able to use it to treat my issues/grow significantly as a person. At least not as much as I wished (not even close)

So the CIA again doing things in fiction only super villains would do.

Lsd saved my life.

Never been a fan of drugs but I do believe countries should have a lot more relaxed approach to people using them because let's be real, if someone wants to use a certain drug they will find it one way or another.

Expanding our minds, in all aspects is absolute necessary.

Let's admit we were all in suspense whether Maren was going to drop acid on camera. That's her business! I just want to know how authentic that group bike ride through Basel was.

i never done any of, but these sort of drugs are like our real-world side quests that may solve an issue to help finish the main quest be easier

As someone with Bipolar I it is so frustrating that someone with my diagnosis is automatically excluded from all forms of psychedelic therapy. I believe it would be so incredibly helpful if I could use psychedelics in a controlled therapy setting and I absolutely would if I had the chance. I have used psychedelics recreationally without negative side effects. I understand why they would not want anyone with a history of psychosis to use them, but although psychosis is a possible symptom of Bipolar disorder it is not present in all cases. I feel that if someone has no history of psychosis and have used psychedelics in the past successfully they should at least be considered on a case by case basis. I hope that in the future they will reconsider and allow greater access to this crucial therapy.
