The Magic of Mushrooms: Understanding the Power of Psilocybin for Healing & Transformation

***This episode is for educational purposes only***

Today on HealingTALKS, we’re discussing an incredible healing tool that’s near and dear to my heart: psilocybin, AKA the active compound in “magic mushrooms”. As Paul Stamets brilliantly said, “mushrooms are not a party drug” - and today, we’re going to dive in to some mushroom myth-busting and the basics of how safe psilocybin usage can support you on your healing journey.

I also recommend searching for information on bills in your state that are petitioning for the legalization of psychedelics. For those who live in New York, you can find our bill here, and support the Change.org petition to legalize safe access to psychedelic medicine here.
