Do we know which psychedelic is best for the brain? Neuroscientist Manesh Girn, the self-styled 'Psychedelic Scientist', riffs on his experiences with 5-MeO-DMT and explains why he, unlike many other researchers, is entirely up front about his own experiences with hallucinogens. We also discuss the dubious claims that psychedelic use can bias scientists more than the ingestion of any other substances that are studied in the lab. Manesh addresses whether psychedelics can effectively de-age the brain and reveals that since 17 he wanted to be a psychedelic neuroscientist.
He gives his views on tripping at home after a Washington Post opinion piece asserted that self-medicating with psychedelic drugs was a dangerous plan. We also chat about whether LSD retreats will ever become a thing, how psychedelics can bring users to a pivotal mental state, and the blossoming of above ground psychedelic communities around the globe, as well as spiritual bypassing within those spaces. You can check out Manesh's video on how to prepare for a psychedelic trip on YouTube.
