Here’s a new video I made. It’s based on a true story and was inspired from an intense experience with Psilocybin mushrooms.

It also includes some sound samples from some of the things that I have been learning about psilocybin.

I made another video that I haven’t put together and posted yet that entails the details of this experience. This video touches on the things that saved me during what some might call a “bad trip”.

Those were words that I remembered from a video I saw with Dr. Rosalyn Watts talking about some of the psilocybin research being done.

“Surrender” is what saved me.

That helped turn a really dark moment where I “felt” like I was facing death to something very cathartic.

Here are some of the sound samples:

• “It was pretty frightening cause I was fighting it. If you are out in the open ocean and you were to fall off your boat. You turn around and the boat’s gone and then pretty soon the water is gone and then you’re gone.
• “Don’t fight it”
• “Surrender. That’s the one word. Surrender.”
• “Your ego is dissolving and it’s scary. It’s like a death.”
• “There are no bad trips…”
• “We are not just dumb beasts brought here to walk in one straight path our whole lives, we are here to fly.”

Those quotes are from the following videos:

• Researching Psilocybin’s Effects on Depression – Dr. Rosalind Watts
• Joe Rogan Experience #1121 – Michael Pollan
• Darrick May: Examining “Bad Trips” on Psilocybin – Positive & Negative Consequences
• The Substance – Albert Hoffman’s LSD (rented from the library)

I did the scratching with my turntables, the beatboxing and then put together the beats with my Mac.

I had some problems editing the video as it’s a really old Mac (2009). So there were a few things that I would have edited if I could have.

And I recently broke my video camera so also I had to make this with my phone camera which seems to be lower quality.

You may also find this video helpful if you want to avoid a “bad trip” or are having one.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND PSILOCYBIN and why I started experimenting with it.

If you happen to find this article by search and are looking how to avoid a bad trip or survive one and aside from letting go and surrendering I’d say the following…

• stay away from the city
• stay away from people/strangers
• be in nature
• meditate
• walk
• lie down
• breath
• draw, play music or sing even

Personally I have found drawing to make me feel better. That was at least once.

I think being somewhere where you feel safe and comfortable is good to.
