Do you have links to any academic papers you used in the making of this video? This video taught me everything I need to know for a term paper I'm writing on the metabolism of psilocybin, but I'd like to learn more.

This is one of my favourite videos ever, I didn’t even know this type of academia existed let’s alone was accessible by the public. I think I found what I want to do with my life

[thomasmikalishen]

I wish you were my biochem teacher...
Excellent presentation: Your voice and direction was engaging and easy to follow.
I come from a science background, but it's been many years since university, so I had basic understanding of certain molecules, actions, and processes. It was refreshing to have an approachable description on an interesting topic.

Thank you for the very in-depth analysis of psilocybin! Very informative, especially the metabolism of it

[lucasmccann]

Based on this biosynthetic pathway, you would expect to find at least some DMT in psilocybin-containing mushrooms but that is not the case. The reason is that the methylation occurs after the oxidation at position 4. There is an article that explains this published in 2018. Have you considered other biosynthetic pathways than what's presented?

Oakland and Santa Cruz the fungi are decriminalized as well as Denver.

Also have experienced lack of desire to drink after both those 2 tested psychedelics.

Hi, catalyst university, since psilocin is the active reagent, can we take psilocin directly instead of taking Psilocybin firstly and asking the enzyme to convert it into psilocin in our body.

[margallardodiaz]

Do you have the references for this video? Thank you!

[granderondeproductions]

So what happens if you bypass the liver and intravenously take psilocin? Does it not get as much lost?

[immyco_ryanoninstagramgot]

You can get all psychedelic products from the above name👆💊

[CuriousPlumber]

Confusing. Interesting, but not great explanation of certain details of the compounds or how triptamine is generated in the body.

[Biomeducated]

Didn't know Psilocybin was actually a pro-drug!
Still lovin' your channel since I discovered it a year ago!

PS: good to see research revisited on drugs like these in recent years, as they might actually benefit in certain mental disorders!
In your face, Nixon!

All thanks to Henryshroom on IG for his perfect recommendations and nice products I think you need him
