Psychedelics

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.

Stimulants are the most used compounds in the world.

This statement may sound rather bold to many, considering how the media portrays the use and abuse of other substances. But by rethinking our routine, we tend to wake up and brush our teeth in the morning, followed by breakfast and coffee or tea

Join us to find the secret chemical properties of coffee and tea and figure out that energy drinks may not be as harmful as they seem!

Following our Lion’s Mane chocolate recipe, we decided to bring you a premium way to make Lion’s Mane gummies! (But allow your mind to flow)

We hope you’ve enjoyed this Myconomics segment and keep following your fungal adventures.

Mushroom edibles just became legal in Oregon, as regulators gave the state’s first license of psilocybin edibles to Spiritus Oregon.

With this first officialization of a company, we’ll likely see the psilocybin-containing chocolate business grow unmeasurably in the next few years for both therapeutic and recreational use. Unfortunately, it isn’t all good news.

When mentioning mushroom chocolates, typically, just like any edible product, these bars are produced in mass, and the fungi content becomes spread unevenly, making it pretty much impossible to know the dosage we are taking per square. Another issue is that growers often sift out lower-quality mushrooms to make these chocolates, reserving the better mushrooms for sale, or sometimes, the problem is present in the quality of the chocolate used.

We will teach you various techniques to avoid the issues mentioned previously and create gourmet chocolate using Lion’s Mane like a true chocolatier (but allow your imagination to run wild).

Psychonauts often worry about their brain, whether because of a bad experience. We might feel our brain becomes less responsive or that something doesn’t feel right post-trip, or we can have an underlying condition. The current forms of brain scans are limiting and expensive. For this reason, plenty of psychedelic interaction with the brain and their therapeutic effects remains quite a mystery. However, this might be about to change!
