Sensible conversation. Thank you for being open and sharing

Great to hear a fellow physician discuss this topic

I had the opposite experience. Rather than being able to control my thoughts, it seemed that there were a hundred times more thoughts, images, songs, etc. than I normally experience, and no controller to be found.

Totally agree with implementing mindfulness, yoga, meditation into school curriculums! We’d have the less need for prisons, therapists, social services, and a more loving nurturing society overall.

Hey, great podcast. What did she refer to @ 5:53? Dispensa? Is that a sauna bag? 🙏

How many milligrams of psilocybin are you talking about per session, approximately? Just to get an idea here.

Big fan of Peter and listened to every podcast for at least once and some 4 times. But this statement if far from reality. However anecdotally, I have met dozens of people who are suffering from mental issues who use Psilocybin and other form of drugs. Even, hypothetically when they are administrated correctly and combined with therapy may have some benefit for some people its still very dangerous drug for general public.
Pathetic to have this content on this podcast. thanks!
