Psilocybin Mushrooms are NOT new news. I have discussed them on my blogs and much has been written about the medical benefits they offer. Twenty four years ago, the mushroom ‘captain’ of the world as I call him, Paul Stamets wrote a book entitled “ Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World.” It is a must for your herbal library or if you are interested in plants with amazing potential for health. I have many books on Mushrooms—and Paul Stamets has written the best. You need to identify all types of mushrooms. Unless you are familiar with Mushrooms—you should never pick them randomly from a field and ingest them. Through the years I have am fairly comfortable with identifying mushrooms. I have been self taught through books , lectures and in different types of educational schools.
I have always knew about psilocybin mushrooms. I feel the latest book by Michael Pollan , “ How to Change Your Mind- What the New Science of Psychedelics… is a definite read if interested. It opened my mind of the possibilities. Why would a sober physician write about this ? Although I am sober nearly 27 years, I am a physician with a very open mind. Many of patients have asked about mushrooms, MDMA, Iborgane, Bufo and even Sappo. These all have psychedelic properties. There is a new resurgence or renaissance about these drugs especially in treating depression and addiction. This is excellent news . I feel more physicians should be educated and well informed . Michael Pollan as part of the research for the book experimented with LSD and psilocybin with the help of guides who prepared him. Kudos to Mr Pollan This is NOT taboo any longer
A then started to obtain and read a third book by Dr Torsten Passie, called The Science of Microdosing Psychedelics.” This book was written n 2019 and is a must read if you are going to consider micro dosing. I didn’t know the science behind micro dosing with psilocybin and other drugs. This book allowed me to better understand the science, the politics, and the experience. It is not for evereyone, but in the right setting can be for some.
Until tomorrow…
