Psilocybin mushrooms. Best shrooms I’ve ever had! Had some amazing trips when I first started taking them. Now I micro dose every few days before work and it has literally changed my life completely for the better.

A lot of people don’t understand that potent weed edibles can be a full blown psychedelic experience

I'm like the guy that doesn't like weed. I used to love it as a teenager, now I hate it. Now it makes me very paranoid and almost instantly my internal monologue gets very negative and has even caused me to have suicidal thoughts and I can feel it all stopping as soon as the weed wears off. For that reason I hate it and don't touch it but I can see that it's incredibly beneficial for lots of people so I think of it as a mostly safe drug.

Being sober was the best decision of my life, did everything you can think of on the planet for years and its simply not beneficial for me anymore in my life.

I’m the girl in the all blue fit next to my mushroom bestie :) thank you so much for taking the time to interview us !! Was great to meet you, you made my first Shambs experience even better and I hope your Shambhala was amazing :-)

Ketamine and acid was literally like watching every thought you had both concious and subconscious appear right before my eyes like a movie. Absolutely catatonic madness.

It feels so refreshing to hear people have such relatable understandings and interpretations of their experience

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

1. Never try anything from the person that you dont know. 2. Never mix substances unless you don't have information about them. 3. Be in a safe place with a safe person to thrust. If you are trying something new. 4. Always start with the minimum dose for your body. 5. All drugs makes you feel good for a certain time, but there will be fact, the landing part afterwards. 6. Dont blame yourself for bad experiences, just try to learn your lesson and go over it. 7. Choose your buddy carefully, sometimes its not just because of the drug, but your friend can ruin your day. And finally, I am jelaous of this people there, I would like to join by next year 🥳

I want to like weed so much like my peers. Helps their anxiety, pain .. etc. it turns me into a paranoid psychopath.

I think the most underrated high is finding out you can still get high on life in the right company ❤ It’s pretty much my mission to continue experiencing that and reporting back that to others. I do drink occasionally but sober highs are amazing as well in their own right. 🎉 Pure emotions will be the future high and with zero negative side effects. It’s like doing shadow work but through positive experience.

Just an FYI about 'shrooms - I'd been a very happy user for almost 30 years...then it started to go wrong...I'd end up writhing and anxious and trying to breath on the bathroom floor...the symptoms were such that I thought I'd developed an allergy to mushrooms. After several years of trial and error I figured out what the issue was - my lungs were sensitive and inflamed by fibres in some of my blankets and throws...the shrooms (and acid) increase my overall physical sensitivity...which triggered a robust immune response. I finally figured out what the issue was when on lsd...I had another attack...and when on the bathroom floor have visions of things sticking in to my lungs. Got rid of the blankets...been fine since. Thought I'd post here because - as I say, I've been a fan of these things for decades and had never heard of this kind of thing. I wonder how many other "bad experiences" have been caused by something so small - I know set and setting etc...but, considering the textiles and furniture in your home is a little beyond the norm.

14:26 SPOT ON ADAM! The traumatic part of my bad trip was thinking how I've utterly destroyed my reputation with my friends through sheer self humiliation and embarrassment, even though my friends assured me that everything is fine on their end, I just couldn't help but have that traumatic self destroying thoughts.

The vibes coming off of these people. Is just the best most comforting feeling, giving me such a hope for the future of humanity.

I blacked out on mushrooms once. Felt like I was floating in an endless void. It was terrifying but when I woke up/sobered up I felt like a completely new person.

I was transported into world war 1 during a trip and I was on the front lines, I could see the smoke, and hear the bombs and gunfire. To the left and to the right of me, were soldiers and we were all lined up, and all of us were terrified, yet that terror turned into courage during a spiritual encounter with God. It was a crazy experience. War is really the biggest killer of egos, even bigger than psychedelics.

Production quality is amazing. Letting people talk to camera on festival is the best content from the channel I've seen in a while. Second best is family drama with Adam. Third is Adam changing his opinion on something, and then turning slightly obnoxious with his new learned knowledge, and then getting his ass kicked by something.

Thank you so much for the chat! So glad I got to give you your first piece of rave kandi! Hope you had an amazing shambhala 🌱✨🐸

First time in 20 + years of my adult life I've heard the term "blacked in"

I've witnessed several miracles while on L. I'll share the coolest one. My brother and I took a couple doses each about mid day, We had planned to have an Om breathing session with a meditation bowl. We were a couple hours into the trip and about an hour straight of Om breathing when our best friend Dave comes over, we dose him and continue our session of Om. Another 30 minutes of Om breathing and the bedroom became a silver metal tear drop shape created by the resonance and the space morphed and right at that moment my buddy Dave's sinuses popped very loud and started draining like a faucet!! He went and blew his nose , came back and was shocked because he could breath through his previously plugged up sinuses. My brother and I both saw the room change, he was transported into the metallic resonant cavern too. I thought I was the only one but we looked at each other immediately and confirmed it lol. Straight magic! salute!

I’m honestly so glad to hear people say that pot is their worst experience. I’ve done mushies and acid, even combined before and nothing makes me more paranoid than pot. I will say, however, that the awareness (often heightened) that weed brings me DID cure my anorexia when I was younger. I appreciate it for what it is. But it’s nice to relate to others on this.

personally any negative psych experience has always led to some kind of emotional/ mental break through, unless it’s a bad physical reaction/ muscle spasms/ pain

Hey adam, been watching you on and off for the past 4 to 5 years. Rediscovering your videos recently made me rewatch the older Shambhala ones and i gotta say, you've had such a glowup. I liked you before, but now you seen to shine from within. The content used to be informative, but you really seem to have found yourself and that is really beautiful to see. Makes me feel like i can do the same somewhere down the line, it ain't an easy path but i love that you have made it! And for anyone else reading, much love and i hope you'll find your way as well!

In my late teens & 20s my friends and I would do shrooms, Isd, and ecstasy occasionally. Good times! All were positive, fun, spiritual experiences. But, it's been decades. I don't know anyone who knows anyone who can get psychedelics from. I live in LA & there's a Kush store three blocks from my house, but I can't function alone on weed. I wish they sold psilocybin gummies. I'm a little depressed & a little anxious on a regular basis. I'm not a big drinker and I hate taking pills. A bite or two of a chocolate bar, or a cup of mushroom tea everyday would be a godsent for me.

Mushrooms truly go from darkness to a light a lot of times, I would've shared a pretty similar experience. Very interesting to see that most people talk about their mushroom trips too.

I personally haven't had a great experience with shrooms. Didn't really feel anything. Did 2 quarters myself and didn't feel anything. My most extreme experience was off 8 hits of liquid acid (White Fluff). I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked like the mad cartoon character. Looked at my arms and I looked like an anorexic rat. I tried to close my eyes but I seen bears dancing and could hear dripping water. When I went to the bathroom I was pissing green flames into a melting toilet. We went to a country party and I was in the back of a pickup truck with a top and looking through the front window the road went straight up into the sky. All I could tell my friends is "I'm glad I wasn't driving".

Yea…. All these videos now make me want to go to this festival. The vibes the energy I can feel them threw the screen that’s how strong they are

My most terrifying drug experience was accidentally overdosing on fentanyl and finding out my BF at the time died

Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress..saved my life.

Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.

Weed is a cruel mistress. I have had a plethora of experiences where I panic with the wrong people, wrong vibes, etc. But on the flip side, I've had wonderful experiences, mindset will definitely steer you in a positive direction. But that being said, LESS is always MORE.

surely asking people what their worst experience on drugs is, while they're on drugs, could bring up some stuff they don't want to think about? and could be bad?

Here’s my worst trip. 7 grams of a new batch of insane potent variety. Alarms started going off in my head I saw evil demons and clowns with thousands of teeth chomping at me yelling you are going to die. Evil monsters staring at me in the face. Trip ended beautifully with full ego death and being reborn as a baby. Was horrifically beautiful.

Scariest drug experience: DXM when I was 16. My perception of time was completely fucked. I was convinced that I had died and gone to hell. Everything looked normal but felt very wrong. I even did the notorious robowalk. Also: Got stuck in a thought loop after eating an 8th of an oz of shrooms in my 20's. I hid under a blanket and it didn't pass until I ate some MS Contin. And more recently: Just last Sunday I wore a 75mcg fentanyl patch at the Rocklahoma 2023 music festival and went on auto pilot after some cocktails. Luckily my fiance was with me to walk me back to our campsite or I might've not made it there. Haha. I missed the last headliner. That's my only regret. Haha.

I tell myself before I do anything. Mind over matter and I am in control and addiction does not have me. It’s one of the reasons why I’ve been able to experience an experiment with so many things where I don’t get any attachment to it. I’ve had a lot of friends, unfortunately suffer from really hard-core addictions and I’ve been really lucky and blessed that that hasn’t happened to me , except for with alcohol and I don’t think people talk about alcohol enough because alcohol can be very very addicting, but we just kind of normalize it because it’s everywhere.

Most of my worst times have been doing things at festivals or other busy places and the most therapeutic amazing experiences have been with a cup of tea and some besties somewhere safe. Number one rule. Don’t mix alcohol with drugs. Always a bad time.

I feel the girl with the loophole trip. Only did acid once and I did 2 tabs and I was stuck in a loophole of exiting my own body and I struggled for about an hour to get back. I was pretty stoned going into it and was in a safe place with 2 friends but that was the only time in my life ive ever felt anxiety

the glowing orb description reminds me of Donnie Darko

my only mushroom experience I was drunk as hell and then was given shrooms roughly 5 times over an hour from 3 different people and I thought i was in the wrong dimension and the only way to get home was to jump through the campfire which to me was a portal home. I was doing cannon balls in to it and burnt all my arse and hamstring area with 2nd degree burns. I didn't feel anything at the time so kept trying to jump in to it thinking it wasn't working because I wasn't jumping in correctly and the people that were there trying to stop me I thought was the shrooms testing me with how badly I wanted to get home. It was the most embarrassing and scary moment of my life but it helped me quit my alcohol addiction so it was also one of the best things to happen to me. Darkness in to light I guess

The scariest psych events are when you are perfectly sober and not on drugs!!!

These Shambhala videos are the best festival videos on RU-vid ❤ Adams videos are so informative and helpful.

I’ve done everything, i love being sober now. I thought i was opening my mind by doing drugs or getting to know myself or something like that, everything gets so clear when clean and sober, i like exercise, meditation, fasting and focusing at my work

I just needddd too find and make friends with these kind of people sometime in my life! They all look so amazing and so personal love this energy!!

“I shouldn’t of had that” you know he was so drunk and insisted he needed shrooms

I love how shrooms is the go to for everyone's worst trip

i went blind after smoking weed wax out of a pen ahah that was before i realized that i'm very sensitive to weed. i started getting tunnel vision, but the tunnel closed and that had never happened before. it's funny now that i look back on it because i'd essentially have panic attacks every time i'd smoke

I almost wish I liked weed but I get extremely paranoid and have panic attacks. It makes me physically sick too. I’ve never tried schrooms, which are very popular in the neighborhood… but after my experience with weed, I’m in the mindset that nothing would work well for me. I’m, in a way, envious of people that can try these things and find enlightenment in them.

I got ego dissolution and it scared me so bad. Had I let go it probably would have turned into one of those spiritual trips lol

This is why I used to carry benzos with me in case of a bad trip. Saved me a bunch of times

Shrooms exposed a insecurity i have and it shown me it came from my dad and shown me a memory id totally forgot about, tripped for a awhile, then snapped out of it and i was under i tree in the middle of nowhere 🤣, started off so good though, now im very aware of my reactions to situations

My craziest experience by far is with salvia extract. Took me to another planet entirely and scared the shit out of me.

Wow , this video made me feel so light about myself , one time I took acid as was so freaked out and in panic that I just wanted go escape reality and somehow sleep and forget all of it, glad to know I’m not the only one with those emotions and others have felt the same.

To the lady at the end... If your mom sees this you have a lot more in common than you think 😂😂

Quarter of mushrooms, destroyed out of my mind, my sociopathic bestfriend comes down and says watch this cool tape. A video of murder vicitims. Tail spinned thought my sweat was blood. Thougt i was dying. Had to lay on a couch for 6 hours just chanting to myself "you will be ok" I honestly think it did serious mental damage for a while cause of the fear and trauma took me a while to get back on the horse.

Keep these videos coming. I miss festivals so much.

I love the people that make a supreme pizza worth of drugs in their stomach and then wonder why they had a questionably bad experience 😂

This guy … making bad trips happen 😂. Hey I’m on a trip enjoying myself then this dude asks me what my most horrific drug experience was …. Walked off in a dark spiral 😂😂

black dude with the dreads gives off this super wholesome vibe. seems most ppl in this clip was having a great time.

Just wanted to say that your videos make me feel more comfortable with taking psychedelics in the future and understanding more about myself, thank you

It's crazy to me to see people getting video taped. This would have never happened on Dead lot.

I was in Amsterdam this year and took pink paradise truffles. Full box. Stupidly took the rest of my mates box too. Walking up steps, across the road to a hotel and into a toilet felt like i was at the battle of feckin helms deep.

Mushrooms :__ __Learned to look at events from the "outside" point of view. Negative things become much less important when you take yourself out of the situation when thinking of it. My first fully solo experience. it was life changing for me

Yeah, I "Lemon-Tekked" 5 grams of shrooms in some lemonade last Friday. I wasnt ready for it and didnt prepare beforehand and when it hit I was unable to work my phone or stereo to get some tunes going..so I tripped in silence. I skipped right past all the "Fun" parts of shrooms and went directly to the lobby of the afterlife and pretty sure I had a conversation with Death.. I think Im done with shrooms for a while..LOL

These people say their psychoses have helpt them. Man i wish that was true for me too. When I was younger I was really addicted to smoking weed and a close friend off mine was an hardcore amfetamin user. And he got to the point that he only fucked around whit everybody and that was the begging for a whole year maxed whit dark psychoses on weed for me. And for every time I smoked it only got worse. But as fast as I got sober the psychoses was gone. I have now been sober in 5 months and still feel like I don’t have come anywhere in life. I just wished I could smoke whit out getting an psychos

Weed makes me go into psychosis. Makes me feel like I'm dying. Which sucks because I used to love it. Just made me feel good. Idk what changed.

I'm so glad you are still going strong! I remember watching your videos years ago and they were extremely helpful.

darn best experiences would be good to watch right after this one

@5:55 I joke with my wife, "if you find me hiding under the couch don't worry, I'm just taking some mushrooms". lol

I love this kind of videos thank you as always 🥰

i haven’t dabbled much in drugs but i smoke weed on the regular pretty much never sober lol and i will say that once you green or have a bad trip, no matter how bad it is you’re never the same person after. i had a really bad greening experience a few months back and my entire personality changed, i became so much more aware of the world and living and that feeling of just existing. i started getting PTSD like symptoms almost having panick attacks when i was sober because of how aware i was, just smoked more and more to block it out but im working on cutting back a little, it’s hard though when you’re having panic attacks almost 24/7 but im trying🙏

Okay so I need the internet to do me a favor and find both sparkle hooded nose ring lady and mushroom hat lady on any social

I like this kind of content Adam. It looks like they feel really comfortable to tell you these stories!

I did acid and accidentally answered a phone call from my step mom who had checked herself into the hospital after an attempted suicide following the death of my father. She asked me to go break into her house where her extremely scary dog was locked up and pack her some stuff. So I broke into a window and then had to take it to her in the hospital. It was extremely intense and not very fun. 😬

im not going to lie i did lsd with my brother one gel tab and it changed me so much and it was such a great experience because of how cool the visuals were at the time and ever since i tried lsd i found ur channel and once i clicked on one video about las Vegas fear and loathing i got hooked in the channel this is a really good channel best one i love watching the videos well i wanna say id ADAM UR THE BEST !

This is content Thanks Adam

Ate 4 pieces of edible weed brownies a couple years ago and ended up having drug induced psychosis. Shit was soooo scary I was hallucinating, blacked out a few times, my body felt as heavy as a rock. Kept saying “I’m stoned, literally stoned” my mom tried putting a weighted blanket on me to calm me down I guess and it hurt so bad cause of how heavy it was and how heavy my body felt 😭 I was high for like 4 days I just slept and barely did anything I thought the high would never end 🫣 lowkey scary af never ever doing edibles again. Plus I’m 5 months sober from smoking weed 😇

So cool this is actually monetized.

"Blacked in". That's a new one. I used to say, "came to."

I'm *psyched* to learn of the *substance* of these people 👽❤

I’ve had the loop hole experience on a research chem that was sold to me as acid. Every 5-10 seconds my brain would “reboot” and I would forget over and over again what was being said, what was going on and it was so scary. It really felt like I was being born again and again and it made me feel like I understood what it felt like to die and come back, like I was experiencing a lite version of the karmic cycle of life and death. I was so lucky and grateful for my partner that held me and comforted me through it all.

Interesting, my best trips on acid have been with hella weed, I guess it depends on how used you are to smoking weed (stoner here lol).

Over whelming darkness is crazy 😂

Is it good to talk about bad experiences while trying to have your best time ever??

All of my truly bad experiences with dr*gs were with alcohol. The only thing I learned was not to drink that much but other than that there was no fun, no enlightenment after, just agony all throughout

😄 8:55 Did he say "Tab and a half" or, "Tabarnak"

you uploaded this when i was halfway through my first dmt trip

That froggie thing is cute af

My worst drug experience was on weed as well - and I have been able to replicate it since. In fact, I just avoid pot altogether since it sends me every time after that one experience. The only time (generally speaking over the years) that I can smoke pot is when I drink. And since I'm an alcoholic with binge drinking tendencies, I have had to quit drinking - thus, no more pot either! But weed by itself makes me feel very anxious and basically sends me into an existential crisis. So, one night heading back to my friend's house, we smoked a bit with the plan of going out later to see if any parties were going on or whatever. On that drive to his house, I lost connection with reality and began questioning whether I existed and what that meant and it just spiraled from there. My mind started creating nonsensical, repeating word patterns (One specifically I still remember most of -_something_-mountain-greel - and the word "greel" was close enough to "real", my mind twisted it to mean I was questioning what was real - and that _something_-mountain-greel just kept repeating rhythmically over and over) and I just felt like a vibration of energy that was falling apart as I lost touch with reality. Scary stuff! I have had this experience a solid half dozen times where the only way out is to sleep in off. It is a complete fight or flight response, and I feel like I am going to die. I have been able to overcome it to some degree through meditation techniques, where I give in to it as I'm trying to go to sleep to make it stop. Essentially, I breath and say to myself, "If I die, I die," and I release and allow myself to give in to it. Same technique as a trip that is going sideways really. I have to just try to relax, breath and let it pass through me - whatever will be, will be. But with this, I just fall asleep and wake up the next day feeling ok. Honestly, I think it even has the same integration period and kind of life altering effects as a bad trip can, just on a lesser level. I have been able reined it in from time to time over the years, even building a tolerance by smoking small amounts every night so I could smoke "normally", but it was just never worth it. The experience has rarely been enjoyable, and I can't really function on any level without some level of paranoia and/or anxiety and jitteriness. I'm still seeking a variety that brings back that old, enjoyable high that I felt back in the day, but I just can't locate it and I'm not sure if it is worth it honestly. I've even had people say I have some dark thing or guilt that I have to let go of and the weed is bringing it out, but I don't buy that since I can take shrooms without an issue. If a true, powerful psychedelic doesn't draw this "darkness" out of me, I don't buy that that is the problem. I think it is just a chemical thing where THC just doesn't jive with me! Anyway, hopefully that helps or relates to someone out there! Thank you for attending my TED Talk! 🤣

I love LSD.

Out of the weed stories, I wonder how many of these bad experiences are from laced bud. Less people check their weed in comparison to other recreational substances these days. The scene from Friday when Smokey smokes pcp laced weed comes to mind.

loving the interveiw videos. getting a different perspective on things. love it!!

what up bruda 😊

I’m 30… haven’t been able to smoke weed since I was 25 but I smoked and did dabs and ate edibles from age 13-25 every single day. Now I can’t stand being high honestly. My only bad trips were on weed too. I had a bad/good trip on shrooms once… it started out pretty bad I didn’t recognize anyone I was with though I’d known them for 5 or more years. I ended up meeting some random guy and we just ran to the woods and lost ourselves completely and came back to the festival as the sun was rising and I literally haven’t been the same person since them but in a good way! I was not a good person before that trip. I had an ego death and I’m SO thankful for it

whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. James 4:14 If you hear the Lord calling you do not harden your heart. We all need a savior and Jesus Christ's blood is an atonement for our sins, it's your choice to accept him or reject his free gift of everlasting life. Repent and believe the gospel, Jesus is coming soon! 🙏✝️

had an anxiety attack on shrooms twice. ever since those experiences, i’ve looked at my life much differently. though my last shroom trip was fantastic, never give up.

This man is living proof how addiction works. Video about how he lost his family. Few months and everything came back to taking dr*gs again for '' educational'' content ...

My most intense experience was a heroic dose of albino B+ tea, on a nice summer day I drank it and forgot I had consumed it, and sitting on my trampoline I turned into a feral animal, my brother came and said my eyes were iridescently green and the amount of snot coming out of my crying face was as if I was a slug creature. I cried through it and writhed on the ground, but came to terms with my mom's declining mental health as I thought I had gone crazy because I could not explain the effects of the psilocybin other than my own concerns about my mental well being. The snail came out of its shell .

These people are so lost. Please if you see this comment come to Jesus. He will set you free. Psychedelic’s will trap you

My 50th is in two years. I'm sooooooo going here❤
