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.

Psilocybin for 'treatment-resistant depression': an island of hope in an ocean of uncertainty? nationalelfservice.net/?p=1704

RCT published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy may help reduce depression in people with severe and enduring illness, but side effects are common and more research is needed to look into longer term effects.

Day 9 of mushrooms.

This stuff is pretty dangerous. If I get that "stoned" feeling, then all I can think about is taking more. Yesterday I was a bit weak and actively chased a high (but not a trip), but I felt absolutely great after it when I woke up this morning. Hell, I even had a date today and wasn't eaten up inside with anxiety for once.

Today's dosage was only 100mg, taken in the evening. It's definitely having a positive effect.

Day 7 of Magic Mushrooms, day 3 of 3 of no dosage (the cycle restarts tomorrow).

Feeling a bit rough today, to be honest. Still better than I was this time last month, but my attention span is absolutely shot.

For next week, I'm going to do 100mg doses instead of 200mg. Hopefully I won't feel stoned from that like I have been from the higher dose, and will be able to take it during the daytime and see if there's any difference.

It's World Psychedelics Day (June 20th) worldpsychedelicsday.org. A good time to talk more about the importance of the research, reinvigorated in recent years--in my opinion especially with psilocybin mushrooms. 2 books I've been enjoying are Letheby's Philosophy of Psychedelics (worldcat.org/en/title/12613805) a collection of great essays & Jay's "Psychonauts: Drugs and the Making of the Modern Mind" (worldcat.org/en/title/13733445). , #620, ,

Should psychedelic therapists have first-hand experience of psychedelics?

Scientists at the School of Psychology at Australian National University don't think so, but I wonder whether THEY have experience of psychedelics?

'Absent stronger evidence ... requiring trainees to take psychedelic drugs does not seem ethically legitimate.'

Hey Psychedelic Journeyers—Did Jack Kerouac call his breakthrough novel “On the Road in a 1949 Hudson Commodore?”
It’s the journey, not the vehicle.
