Magic mushrooms on CNN - Powerful Life Changing Experience

[MrStevaz]

Aahh man, if only Bill Hicks were around to see this report;

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather."

[MCcookiebreath]

IF I CAPS LOCK WILL THAT GET ME A TOP COMMENT?!?!

[MissLucyBoomer]

[Gianter1]

@MissLucyBoomer lol yea mann we do knoww mann :)

[mountainmanjamhaha]

sign me up lemme get some :P

[amethystiumm]

D M T ------>  is better....

[LeafFreedom]

@amethystiumm most people can't remember the great insight recieved from DMT because it only lasts a few minutes. A proper mushroom trip will last 6-12 hours you cannot forget a whole day of looking through the looking glass of the gods. So I think people should start with mushrooms then move up to DMT.

[sekaranist]

lets fly guys..............

[OldSerpentOfSin]

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT I DO WHAT EVER I WANT!

[ColeFried81]

Mind altering drugs are awesome for people that want to expand their way of thinking and feeling but, far too many teens and young adults take them to get fucked up and unfortunately, rarely come to the mental enlightenment that older more wise adults come to when they take mushrooms. Pscilocybe, MDMA, LSD and DMT are all positive mind altering drugs if taken in the right dose; but if taken in the wrong dose can of course have negative affects on the body + everyone reacts differently to a drug.

[SRECACEMENTA]

i like magicmushroom

[sparrowblackbird]

but make sure you prep for 6 months and are with a doctor!!

[sparrowblackbird]

[aHIGHanarchist]

@TheTilemaster123999 you're an idiot lol. You obviously ate more than mushrooms (probably smoked on the crack rock a few times) and the fact that you said 500 to 1000 just makes me laugh...

[TheTilemaster123999]

@aHIGHanarchist mushrooms and cannabis is all ive ever had.and y duz 50 to 1000 make you laugh.? thay grow free in fields every year.?

[aHIGHanarchist]

@TheTilemaster123999 because you said you take 500 to1000 at a time unless you are talking about picking that many at a time

[TheTilemaster123999]

@aHIGHanarchist we have 6.or.7 mushy fields where i live.if there is caws or horses in the fields we are guaranteed a good mushy season the next year.we brewed up to 1000 all the time and deep frozen all the rest....

[jaymat954]

@TheTilemaster123999 i think you overdid it on the dosage there....

[ZestyLemonFool]

[RATTLEY67]

[thienly]

[changethecurrent]

I took magic mushrooms when I was young for about a month straight, it made me face my demons. The shrooms I took were Conocybe smithii, It took about 20 or so of the little mushrooms to make a tea.

[thosearepinklemons]

Where do we sign up?

[Gitarpunk]

THE HIPPIES WERE ONTO SOMETHING????!??!?

[OldSerpentOfSin]

@Gitarpunk No shit...

[shaneashbar]

they are called gods bread go check it out

[franzken]

[NCla94]

I smoked pot with John Hopkins.

[Eldwinn]

@NCla94 no

[AceOnBase1]

LSD and shrooms need to be legal.

[FreeBeDrug]

@AceOnBase1 yes!

[EpicBombTime]

CNN kinda twisted the results of the experiment. The people didn't have lasting visual effects, but rather a profound change in personality and outlook on life.

[Scotty283]

Lets do something to contibute to the legalization movement. Ron paul?

[villevs]

why isnt this fucking legal

[blackhog42]

this video needs to be seen by all :)

[irojioqopiewjr]

Rick Strassman its time to get back into the game.

[cyazuri]

vatican personages take entheogens as part of they're rituals

[Edubbplate]

Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BaronUnderbite]

If there aint a victim, it aint no crime!

Take that message to the top Occupiers!

[tinygangster666]

legalization of shrooms and weed

[LotharioRowe]

"Most reported mystical, religious experiences with no regrets."

"So yea, we are really just looking at this as possibly benefitting terminally ill people."

Umm, how about your own study just showed this might very well be beneficial for people who are human beings. All of them.

[jpena45]

I think it's hilarious how they act like they are on to something new... These have been around for ages. It's on cnn so it's ok now...?

[rhombusskullvsteal]

@jpena45 lmao. yup. that's how we gauge these things, don't listen to the historical texts and accounts of positive outcomes from shrooms. just look at cnn, the industry that questions pro life desires the growth of capitalism measures how much we can fuck things up. because when they get their hands on something bright and inspiring it's just a walk in the park for them to construct the wrong subtext. subtext subtext subtext. well at least now nobody can dispute these magical fungi.

[PinkFloydrulez]

"by accident in mexico" lol

[o0oFIZZLEo0o]

NO SHIT THE HIPPIES WERE ONTO SOMETHING MUSHROOMS ARE ON THIS PLANET TO RESTORE BALANCE TO NATURE BY DELIVERING INSIGHT TO HUMANS TO REVEAL THE ABSURDITY OF OUR EXISTENCE!

god damn humans are stupid if i had a button that would instantly eradicate all of mankind (including myself) i would press it in an instant

[patrick10001]

@o0oFIZZLEo0o Same.

[atl2maryland]

@o0oFIZZLEo0o exactly how I felt. Like duhhhh you fuckers. You guys are just now figuring that this mushroom thats been around for hundreds of years and has been respected throughout cultures just might've had something special after all. Meanwhile you didnt understand so you made it illegal and now youve "discovered" something. Humanity might be doomed

[darkelegy20]

@o0oFIZZLEo0o dude...fuck yes

[LeafFreedom]

@o0oFIZZLEo0o There is a button, and a mushroom. :) Do a heroic dose, fast (don't eat for 4-5 hours) before hand once you eat your 5 grams and some grapefruit juice. Take a very short jog to get your heart rate up. Then lay down in silent darkness and watch and listen. Then all of mankind Especially you will be instantly eradicated and you will see what life and love truly means to you and your connection to the world. All the monkeys are about to awaken. I can't wait. :)

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@o0oFIZZLEo0o thank you....when i was on shrooms i couldn't stand talking, it seemed so unnatural to talk....when i was tripping i just couldn't grasp humanity anymore, we've become a joke and a shame to nature!

[Shankyanutz]

@o0oFIZZLEo0o ur a joke talk about ungrateful just because u might have ur life figured out doesnt give u a reason to end ur own life or any1 elses, if u would honestly do that ur a clown and ungrateful ur parents shoulda used a condum

[JesusDillinger]

No one can understand what the mushroom can teach until they've eaten them. It is totally biologically harmless to the brain, but totally fatal to one's self-deceptions.

There's no guarantee it will be fun. It can scare a brave man more that he never knew he was capable of feeling afraid. Jung said the most frightening thing one can do is to know oneself.

If one does it with others nearby, one should know in advance that societal boundaries WILL come down, so it's often best to do it alone.

[alamedvav]

induce fear and anxiety. oh yea that's why its illegal. glad the govt looks out for me.

[1234ubub]

I took those one time back in college and ended up in the er. Not for me. Life altering experience.

[rainbowave777]

GOD HOW I HATE THAT ACCENT, IT IS THE WORST MOST IRRITATING FUCKING COMBINATION OF SOUNDS TO EVER ESCAPE FORM THE MOUTH OF A HUMAN, IT MAKES ME FEEL PHYSICALY SICK (just my opinion at least, that i am entitled to.....)

[Subclimax]

Vote Up If You Were High When You Watched This

[EnglandBeat]

How can a plant be hippy dippy? At any rate, even though a lot of this video comes across as silly because of the obviousness of what they report as "news", it's still a positive outlook on mushrooms and for that, I give CNN a thumbs up (for once).

[69Kinto]

Where do we sing up!!

[MrTimothytim]

I fucking hate this cant people on American tv talk normalley for 1 seconde either they yell or act retarded -.-

[TheHighMind420]

This same study also presented that mushrooms can cause a better perspective of life for up to a year after use.

[Lobonaut]

Hey I guess Bill Hicks was wrong, there IS a positive drug story in the news.

[alphakristjan]

I hate news...This is supposed to be presented without bias...

[ferrai360]

lsd?

[bugeyedmudafuka2]

funny how afterthey finished talking about the mushrooms they started talkin about war

[lgndarymeth]

So true, the world would be like heaven if we all ate it at the same time :)

[TheNooblolnoob]

i found alot of fucking worms in my mushrooms :(

[DisposedToaster]

psychologically prepped for 6-9 months. Pussies. Lol.

[shakimaro]

@DisposedToaster I doubt that part of the story is true. I think it was done to prevent any "influencing" into doing something illegal. I've been thinking about doing them but I am worried about the possibility of a bad trip.

[lgndarymeth]

@shakimaro

I don't blame you, but be with good friends and be in a positive state. I couldn't stop laughing... and we went out into public, and we were fearless lol. The beach was great and nature... omg.... I even forgot I took the shrooms at one point hahahahh. Felt like I was reborn again... aww man ... :)

[shakimaro]

@lgndarymeth See, when you say you went to the beach and you were fearless i immediately think that stupid things are bound to happen. I don't want to endanger my life or the life of others. I've been giving this a lot of thought and I'm just really scared. I've never even done pot. I'm a drinking kinda guy.

[lgndarymeth]

@shakimaro

not to the point of being stupid.. I was fearless because I felt so safe with nature ... (This is impossible to explain on a sober level, as you trip time does not exist. Plus I was with some friends man. That's fine with me, I drink as well! But don't judge on something you havnt done. I was too against it, but you know what, the government has been lying to me more than my friends or random people I know. I tried it out and I made my own judgement with it.

[shakimaro]

@lgndarymeth I'm not judging. I really wanna try it. But for some reason it seems like someone needs to babysit you the whole trip.

Umm. you may be able to answer this for me. do shrooms show up on a drug test?

[lgndarymeth]

@shakimaro

No not really, no one has to babysit.. Just be with good friends, or aquaintances. Because during the trip you guys would be having these very deep conversations, or conversations about very intellectual shit without trying in a sense. For example, I felt a stop in time, and the reality I was in was now...this description is 1% of what I experienced. but to be serious with you when i did it I was convinced I was in a nirvana.... And everything basically is perception tbh.

[shakimaro]

@lgndarymeth oooooh. When you said NIRVANA i was sold! I've made up my mind. yay! i'm so exited. Hopefully in a couple of weeks or less. I'll make sure to tell you how it went. hehehehe

[lgndarymeth]

@shakimaro

haha Glad to hear ,I would love to hear about your experience. By the way, the Egyptians named them as the "Divine shrooms" . If ur seriously doing it, you will realise you will be distorted and your mind is working in a different way.

[killryn]

you people really make me sick! you are all the satans of the world exploiting our world.... stay tuned to things that dont matter like winning and the marriage or royals

[killryn]

FUCK YOU GOAT WHORES!!!!! GO BACK TO HELL!!! this is ours and only ours you pig headed judas goats! gtfo of our dwellings!

[m0tto]

It's not a drug, its a MUSHROOM. I hate how condescending they are. 

[nikbates23]

@m0tto I get what you are saying but it is a drug, any substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body is a drug

[m0tto]

@nikbates23 Yes but their emphasis on the word drug, as a bad thing, is very irritating. By that definition everything we eat is a drug because when we eat it makes us happy by releasing dopamine. Chocolate releases dopamine, makes us happy, same as cocaine and meth but nowhere near in strength. I don't see the reason in singling out mushrooms as a drug to make it sound bad when everyday people ingest hundreds of drugs. Energy drinks, caffeine, vitamins, sugar, spice, supplements.. etc

[ACLogikel]

Well, I am on some liberty caps right now, ate some an hour ago and just ate some more watching this. Mmmm goooood!

[davidgrahamscott]

@ACLogikel Good on you!!

[jhigdon23]

My hat is off to John Hopkins University and CNN for informing the masses. I have known of this for almost 10 years now but, many never gave it a chance and never will. I feel sorry for them. Perhaps one day they will open their eyes, turn off the tv, pick up an instrument, pick up a book, or a pencil and make a difference in this world. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law" Galatians 5:22

[longboardinman]

Haha I like how she says all 14 volunteers say they live in a better world due to psilocybin mushrooms,, but wait!!!! It's illegal so tough luck. lol you can find these growing in your front yard! illegal my ass...

[jhigdon23]

@longboardinman Yes the reporters comments at the end sound like they are promoting illegal drug use. You are wrong stating that they grow in your front yard. Mushrooms do grow in your front yard but, these are not the psychedelic ones used for the research. Magic mushrooms grow out of cow dung and when you break or touch the stems they will turn blue. IF ANYONE HERE PLANS ON EATING MUSHROOMS MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT POISONOUS. To avoid getting shot by a rancher I advise signing up at a University

[ohmenaja]

@jhigdon23

there is cow shit outside my window but mushrooms grow in the forest. magic mushrooms grow near shit but the ones that grow out of shit are poisonus. they grow in october, november. ireland

[longboardinman]

@jhigdon23

YOU!!!!! GO do some research before you go picking mushys... google "mycelium", that is the #1 common myth about mushrooms, they don't only grow on shit!!!!!!!!! many other substrates are suitable for psilocybin mushorooms...

[jhigdon23]

@longboardinman Most people don't know what mycelium is or want to google it. I am very aware that spores leave the mushroom in the wind land on grass/feed, cows eat, magic happens inside, cows shit, humidity above 80%, temperatures around 76-85 degrees are ideal, mycelium grows, (mushrooms grow out of mycelium). I have horses and I am fully aware I can use woodchips, horse shit, and verm to grow magic mushrooms. I did my research years ago. Blue steams= oxygen+psilocybin.

[longboardinman]

@jhigdon23

Lol you just contradicted yourself pretty bad there. kids do your research and don't listen to this guy.

[jhigdon23]

@longboardinman Alright lets consider our audience: Some educated. Some not. Those that are uneducated that read "mycellium" or "mushrooms in my front yard" will most likely say, "What the fuck is mycellium?!" -and may or may not google it, or "Mushrooms in my front yard! I can trip today!" and.....they die. Considering how dumb people are it is much easier to brake it down barney style for them and say simply, "The magic mushrooms grow out of cow patties and turn blue when you touch them"

[69warbeast69]

the world wold be a better place if we all wold eat shrooms and fire up blunts

[guitargod162]

@69warbeast69 no

[bengoro7]
