Have you ever wondered why we often take entheogens during the night?
Typically, we take entheogens to find peace of mind outside of our routines. But we can consume these compounds at any time of the day and have the same effect, or wouldn’t we?
Perhaps the connection between both is more ingrained in the exhaustion of our senses and missing our connection to nature than you may think!

Fully understanding the mechanisms of action of neuroactive compounds is difficult due to their complexity and polypharmacology. Making single-target drug discovery nearly impossible.
Phenotypic screening was one of the solutions brought by science. However, this method faced historical limitations until recently.
A group of researchers from the University of California found a way to rapidly profile thousands of compounds using larval zebrafish, which share genetics and CNS anatomy with humans, making complex behavioral readouts possible.

As Terence McKenna and others once said: ‘Everyone can learn about entheogens from books.’
Unfortunately, sometimes, we can’t read them due to language barriers.
For this reason, we spoke to Francesco De Luca, a poet and translator of the McKenna brother’s golden literary pieces.
Join us to learn more about the importance of literature, his stance on the world as a McKennian, younger generations losing touch with literature, how the world is becoming weird, and Terence McKenna’s philosophies.

Aldous Huxley is one of the many authors when we want to mention the most renowned authors.
Many people love his unique writing style and philosophy, including Alexander Shulgin, Terence McKenna, and several other scientific researchers who often mentioned his name and works.
But exactly what attracts the hallucinogen community to him?

This week, we talked with Michael from Laguna Meth.
After his first experience with a Bart Simpson tab, his way of viewing the world switched, and so did his stance on these compounds.
What he thought were substances for the weak changed his life by allowing him to see the facade forced into his mind by the media and schools since birth and pursue something more powerful.
Music.

If you are like me, someone who spends time on social media and watches countless reels and TikToks, you’ve likely come across this ‘new’ wonder ethnobotanical Kava-Kava.
Influencers are advertising the brew as an alternative to pharmaceutical analgesics and anxiety medication.
So, we considered discussing what Kava is and whether it’s suitable for you or not!

For the past year, I’ve been covering the stories of people in this realm about how they entered the community and what led them to encounter these compounds. However, I’ve never told my story of how these compounds entered my life.
I found this Halloween to be something fitting, considering this story isn’t what you’d read to your kids at night despite the happy ending. In hopes of switching some opinions in regard to what the human mind can bring to you and how sometimes these compounds can be an escape from what we believe to be a living hell.

What we thought to be a toad life-changing trip might be more than that, a new study claims!
For quite some time, the psychonaut community has focused on inducing intense mystical experiences with Bufo Alvarius (Incilius Alvarius), capable of life-changing experiences and altering how we perceive life.
However, new research proves that something else is happening to our brains while such experiences occur within our minds!
5-MeO-DMT life-changing experiences might have been debunked! Read More »
Join us this week to read a wonderful conversation with Terence McKenna.
“Uh, it’s actually UnTerry McCanny and The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo.”
We spoke about art, philosophy, puppetry, teaching about hallucinogens humorously, the influence of Terence McKenna in his life, McKenna Monday at Psychedelic Assembly’s library in Manhattan (P.S. They have pizza), the importance of philosophy in the psychedelic space, and what UnTerry McCanny would ask Terence if they could communicate. We also discussed the possibility of bringing new puppets to life!
We found that Michaelangelo is currently accepting donations for a William Burroughs puppet! (It’s just a secret between us, but I must say that the impersonation is immaculate!)
