Plants used safely for 5,000 years aren't the problem. Laws written 50 years ago are.

Like any teacher, mushrooms should be treated with respect.

For thousands of years mushrooms were medicine. For 50 years they've been felonies. For millions of people they're still teachers. Time doesn't change truth.

The question isn't whether psychedelics work for addiction and depression. It's why we've ignored the evidence for 90 years.

Your therapist talks about your inner child. Psychedelics let you meet them.

Your ego isn't your friend, it's your prison guard.

The only terminal mental illness is believing you can't change.

Psychedelics don't give you insights, they stop you from avoiding them.

Alcohol decreases things that matter to you. Weed softens what matters to you. Psychedelics reminds you what matters. Each substance alters your relationship with meaning itself, so choose wisely.

Everyone has psychedelics wrong. It's not about the trip. It's about the 72 hours afterwards. That's where the real magic happens.

Psychedelics aren't drugs. Drugs numb you. Psychedelics wake you up.

Your doctor can prescribe you 14 different drugs that change your brain chemistry, but a mushroom that's been used for 10,000 years is 'dangerous'.

Some take drugs to avoid their shit, Others take drugs to deal with their shit. Which are you?

The mushrooms gave you the blueprint. Now you've got to build the house.

Every 'bad' trip is just good information delivered in an uncomfortable package.

Mushrooms aren't drugs. They're teachers that happen to be felonies.

Show me someone who believes "all drugs are bad" and I'll show you someone on caffeine.
