If you are interested in psychedelics, go to a trained professional (not Burning Man). “Psychedelics generally amplify whatever emotion you’re having. So instead of being able to go in and do deep work, if you’re already anxious it might just make you more anxious.” “There’s a number of things that psychedelics do but increasing neuroplasticity definitely does help because you’re changing the way that your brain functions.” “Right now, mental health conditions with trauma at their core and physical conditions that have relation to neurology are probably the two most promising areas.” “Psychedelics increase connectivity and they reset the default mode network.” “Step one: don’t take drugs from strangers.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Lynn Marie Morski:Psychedelic Medical Association WebsiteInstagramPsychedelic Medicine PodcastResources referenced:DanceSafeFireside ProjectVETSSay hi to the AGEIST team!
