The world of hallucinogens has various coincidences, one of them being the accidental synthesis of a compound that would alter the consciousness of thousands of people until today.
We are talking about Hofmann’s ‘Problem Child’ LSD.
Join us on a ride about consciousness, medicine, psychology, and astrology with this amazing guest post by Neeshee Pandit.

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!

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!)
Depending on how we perceive the world and our beliefs, entheogens can be potential tools to aid in the treatment of mental illness, or compounds that help us explore ourselves, and to some, entheogens are tools to explore the realms of the spiritual world.
Typically, these two insights rarely mix as the psychotomimetic community on the scientific and spiritual tend to split.
However, this might be changing soon!
The Beckley Foundation, alongside the Imperial College of London, the University of Sussex, the University of Oxford, and the University of California, brought us an interesting study that may connect how spiritual transcendent experiences, or ‘peak experiences’ in the psychonaut world, may predict positive results in mental health outcomes in therapy, such as reductions in depression and anxiety, and also reduced craving in substance abuse disorders.

Lately, an acronym has been around everyone’s mouths, in some for its potential as a therapeutic tool, in others for the recent dilemma after the FDA denied its use as a tool for the treatment of PTSD. We are talking about MDMA.
We have all heard about the story of Sasha Shulgin re-discovering MDMA and becoming coined as the ‘Godfather’ of MDMA by the media (which he publicly claimed to hate.) But did you know that at some point in history, MDMA had a natural precursor?
A plant that goes under plenty of people’s radars and suddenly became absent from psychedelic history after the mass destruction of specimens by the US government, leading to the endangerment of its species after MDMA became popular in nightclubs, this plant is Sassafras.
