I was addicted to drugs and cigarettes before, and one day at my lowest I took mushrooms by myself, and sat there meditating while chanting I don’t want to be addicted anymore over and over. I went cold turkey since then, and it has been 3 years now.
Aaron Burton no joke I did drugs daily for more than a dozen years. After going cold turkey I have no cravings. I have noticed just being around drugs gives me anxiety and I don’t enjoy it. I feel like there’s something subconscious going on here, or it could all be placebo haha. Mind over matter.
i just got that experience 3 days before when i did MM first time, i used to smoke 1 ounce weed in 1-2 days, and a pack cigarette day, watch netflix, play video game all day, after my mushroom trip i dont feel smoking ciggrate and weed has been reduced to 2-3 gram/day from other day suddenly, i feel like my body is coming to right alignment ,i know whats right and wrong,i felt what is it to be other species, i felt whats actually my purpose as a human us, my body wanna eat natural food only, no meat, egg, milk, cooked food, processed food etc only fruits and vegetable, i was taking 2k+/day calories but now i am feeling satisfieed with 500-600 calorie everyday, i feel humble , calm, composed ,wiser than 3 days before, i didnt watch netflix and all matrialistic songs from last 3 days, dont feel like to watch, i only wanna learn new stuffs and im doing though books and internet now.
I'm 76 years old and your podcasts are helping me understand how little I know, but how much I care. You give me gifts. Thank you. Thank you for Paul Stamets.
Joe's face at 38:46 cracks me up every single time, just the way Paul is deep into explaining his story and it just silently cuts to Joe's flabbergasted expression lmao
never in my life did i think i would listen to another human talk about mushrooms for 2 hours. I was glued to the screen paul seems like a fungi. he reallly grew on me!
I have something to say about Mr Paul Stamets We were wiped out by the CA wild fire. We had lost all of the books we purchased that were published by Paul about mushrooms in the fire. He was gracious enough to replace all of them and donate two kilos of spores to help with our remediation of the land. THANKS4GIVING PAUL. Thanks for all the hard work and research on that branch of our family, shrooms. Your awesome PAUL
Northern CA resident here. I was lucky to get missed by the fires but know many who were devastated by them like yourself. I've heard a few stories like this of people replacing lost possessions and donating or offering help to complete strangers, it's what we need more of in this world. Best wishes to you in your rebuild!
1:45:00 Portobello mushrooms contain a large amount of agaritine, which can be made in to hydrazine. Two parts hydrazine mixed with one part NH4NO3, creates a powerful chemical explosive, making this a National Security Issue. Paul’s hint was when he referred to this as an “Explosive Issue”.

One of my absolutely favorite JRE episodes. Paul Stamets is effortlessly intelligent and expressive about mushrooms in a wide variety of topics about the subject. I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. Joe must have Paul on again soon !
@1:44:50 This conversation became tense but they handled it with such respect. Nice to see that there is a respectful way of refusing to answer a question and accepting Paul's wishes by Joe.
@@prentfaiyaz If you dont see the problem..well sorry but you have to less knowledge. Knowledge can safe lifes and help humans to understand ourself and the universe. Less wars, less death humans, less natur destoyd..and you ask really for what?? Open your dam eyes and use your brain, maybe for the first time in your life..the reason we humans make again and again the same mistake is cuz a lot of knowledge is hidden❤ love from switzerland
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.. THE POISON DEVIL SHROOMS HAVE TAKEN HOLD OF HIM AND IS USING HIM AS AN AMBASSADOR TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO EATING MUSHROOMS TO KILL OFF THE HUMAN RACE AND RULE THE EARTH ONCE MORE
@Amita Ami i haw'e that behind me. I took mushrooms (don't remember name) from mexico (they ship me best stuff for meditation, even that i live in Poland)and I all ready met a golden face guy in astral. So im good. What i want is more talks about mushrooms and their power so people wake up. Btw its bad to teak mushrooms more than 1 time in year.
Fan of JRE for a long time but only watched clips. This was the first full show I have watched in one sitting. Mind blowing and thank you Paul Staments for the work you do. I will be diving head first in to so much more of Paul’s work. Truly inspiring
Rewatching this again to marvel. The first time I watched this it gave me the confidence to try psychedelics and it has completely changed my mindset on life. A magical experience! Thank you Paul
IKR just watched it and still trying to wrap my brain around some of the shit!!! Think I found some shrooms in my backyard so been doing a shit ton(no pun intended) and came across this and man glad I watched!!! Big fan of the JRE as it is hope Joe don’t get censored over there but pretty sure he won’t let that happen I hope!!!
@@eisenwerks6388 You should know that you cannot combine those two. They take you into incompatible universes. At least that is what John C. Lilly said.
I noticed that also. I think there are studies that when people are using a lot of effort in their thought process they blink less. Their pupils dilate larger as well when their brain is putting out the effort. However, it is not clear how much effort he is actually manufacturing because many of these points have been made by him over the years in various forums, etc.
@@silverhopeful it probably has more to do with the fact that during active thought/conversation you are rapidly moving your eyes which keeps them moist and that's why you have less need to blink.
This dude is extremely well spoken and able to communicate long and complex stories in a way that is impressive for anyone, let alone someone who used to have a stutter. Very cool.
hes not well spoken. he uses a lot of words incorrectly, out of order and contradicts himself may times over in his stories. The stories aren't complex. There's really nothing here. He tries to make them complex so you don't realize there is no real story here because he hasn't accomplished anything. He blames his unnecessary use of vocabulary as a way to help with his stutter
I have just rewatched this episode due to foraging for mushrooms recently and being reminded of how amazing they are. 5 years after originally watching this episode it was equally if not more fascinating and relevant today. I would be interested to know if he has done research with our recent global “virus crisis”. This man is absolutely amazing and his life’s work is probably one of the most beneficial scientific explorations of the last century that has far reaching benefits for future generations. SAVE THE BEES !
Been taking Lions Mane for one week. I discovered a benign brain tumor 4 years ago. It has caused Neuro degenerative and cognitive problems. This podcast quite literally saved my life. I started taking Lion's mane and wow. I feel like before my first seizure. At the 44 minute mark or so Paul talks about it. I may have beaten this horrible albatross on my brain. As I type I tear up. I'm a 30 year old man and I thought I was doomed forever to a life of unhappiness. Thank you for spreading your wisdom. As a JRE fan I'd love to talk about it sometime if given an invite with Paul even though I'm an average guy. Thank you to JRE for bringing these guests on. This one without any sort of exaggeration could have saved my life. I suffer from brain tumor, memory issues, GAD,PTSD (non combat),and epilepsy. All of these things are invisible and I suffer because I look pretty normal and even healthy for 30 years old. This man is a good man and I learned a lot from this podcast. Thank you Paul, Thank you Joe.
adamgm84 Still have some partial seizures but overall a healthy mix of Lion's Mane, GABA, L-tryptophan, cannabis, exercise 2 to 3x a week and a diet with proteins and veggies seems to be the key for me. Still have day to day issues but this allows me to manually manipulate my neurotransmitters. Hope this helps anyone that's at their bottom from a Neuro degenerative condition. It's possible to recover. I'm no doctor just a good student and willing guinea pig to myself.
Billig Jones i use Host Defence drops and capsules. The immune support which has about 10 different mushroom varieties, Amazing and supports Paul's work !
I would just like to remind everyone that Paul also helped isolate a certain variety of oyster mushrooms that actually *eat waste petroleum/oil and metabolize them into harmless compounds.* When he says fungi can save the world, he's entirely serious. I only wish he was a household name. Him saving the bees would be a greater accomplishment than Edison's improved lightbulb. People could eat dinner by candlelight. People can starve to death with the lights on though.
TBH i don't think that line is correct. Think about all the depressed mussicians, painters and poets that have made master class art. I mean just a hand full are Kurt Cobain, Vincent van Gogh, Syd Barrett, Cody from Cody's Lab and Thom York.
Ohhh now i see where your mushroom inspiration came from. This guy got me into it too a few years back, i use my own technique to get sterile samples for growing mycelium. I made a cheap glove box, then i just dip the knife in alcohol without wiping it on anything, getting sterile stuff from inside the stem of course. The alcohol is normally dried off because it kills it i believe, but i found that it doesnt kill it completely. This way you risk less contaminants, of which i had o issues with. just drop it on some agar and youre good. There's sterile rye berry jars for sale online. I grew pink oyster mushrooms that way. Pleurotus djamor, probably spelling that wrong.
I've watched hundreds of hours of your content Joe and this guy tops Jordan Peterson, Duncan Trussell, Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock. This man is the only one to have drawn my curiosity toward a degree to this magnitude ever since I had done it once before almost 17 years ago. This guy is the living embodiment of purpose.
I love JRE Podcasts, but this, this right here is what I live for. These are the interviews that keep me coming back. Now excuse me while I go lay down for awhile.
I turned 70 yesterday, I too had a similar tree in the wind experience back in 1971. Paul you give me hope, true, pure, deep hope. Thank you for that gift. Keep up your most important work.
Jeff Maylor hahahaha slap yourself. what a closed minded moron hahaha. you are fucking laughable. p.s. your mom has your sandwich waiting upstairs young man
Jeff, you sound like the type of ignorant guy that really needs a mushroom trip. Please dont make moronic claims like that, psilocybin mushrooms are one of the safest substances one can ingest.
After watching this again I want to declare a standing ovation. Bring back Paul for round 2. Id love to see where he's at in life, along with Joe's journey so far with all the people he's talked with and knowledge obtained... it has to happen
@@MrXennon1 now you mention i think I do remember that. Was he on with a other guest I think his brother? And do you know the episode number? I could always look it upni guess but thank you for the info
@Alexander Supertramp Yes definitely as important as this one. Exposing the war on some drugs and bringing awareness to the orwellian dictators toolkit the NSA is using are both critical issues
I can recommend you where I get my stuff from an online store, he's got Shrooms, Gummies, Microdose, Dmt, Lsd, Vape Pens, Carts, Cannabis, alongside other dope Psychedelics stuffs well Refined ships discreetly to anywhere also guide you if you're a newbie;;;....
My son was a student of Paul's and has been swearing about his studies and analysis of "all things fungal" for decades. After watching this, video,.I wanna be a student as well. Thanks to all for producing this. It may very well save our planet.
The part where joe talks about how his dreams are so realistic but he can’t control them they just feel so real it’s crazy because from the earliest time I can remember I have always just had dreams like that and you wake up and it’s like the dream merges with you memories is just so wild
When this episode aired i knew nothing about mushrooms except the common misconceptions. Two years later and I'm obsessed with them. I never thought this episode would be such a turning point in my interests.
same! i found a lion's mane mushroom within 2 days of seeing this episode, i forget before or after, had my mind blown by its alzheimer's benefits, and my mind blown a second time by finding it so serendipitously. I run a twitter profile for mushroom photos and IDs now lol. People act like it's hard to learn one mushroom from the next, but I didn't even see this episode when it aired, i watched it almost exactly a year ago.
Since you guys been learning about mushrooms what do you know about the Portobello shrom ? No one is talking about it on the comments..he said his life would be in danger, why?
@@goHAMallday1 from what i can find people are talking mostly about cancer, some people actually say he means explosive literaly and they are used for making bombs. But cancer is probably the theory becose of the economics, portobello and button shroms are by far the most sold worldwide. Now im wondering if i can still put shroms on my pizza xD people say they are safe or safer if you cook them in high temperature, so my pizza is safe i hope
I find it fascinating that, on one hand, Paul seems to express gratitude to Star Trek for the inventions of the cell phone and ipad, yet on the other hand, those instruments have also led to the cause and abuse of developers to create habit forming and addicting software and applications, cultivating into many modern "mental health" conditions (anxiety, depression, AHDH, etc.). I'm not so sure looking to the future is exactly the best idea when we can't even handle the present
I feel like Joe Rogan really held his own with some damn good questions in this interview. Thanks for letting this guy talk his head off and just being on point for the podcast.
@@eachday9538 I heard they had to do it ten times... . The story of stuttering was fake.. What happened is that after 9 takes Joe beat the crap AND the stuttering out of Paul....
I’ll refer you to this dude online where I bought few grams of N-N DMT LSD Mushrooms shrooms Aderrall lean and other psychedelic products and they ship descreetly to any location
I agree. Must anticipation for this to come out! I reccomeded paul on a pole from joe rogans website. Happy it got through! Paul is a local idle of mine!
I believe in Paul’s Stamets 7 supplement! It has shrunk a tumor I have by 10 times! Others have sworn to have turned active cancer into remission. In any case I know this stuff has beneficial health effects. Thanks Paul!
You left out a part...struck by lightning. He blames the loss of the stutter on shrooms but here this whole time he just simply got it zapped out of him. They actually used to use electroshock therapy to cure stuttering back in the day. XD
12:20 "You're telling me nature is not intelligent, and yet you are born of nature using the mind to conceive the concept to challenge the idea that nature is not intelligent, when you are part of nature?"
Dude this was absolutely mind blowing and mind opening. I think I'm addicted to joe rogan interviewing people like this. Psilocybin, extra dimensional experiences, neurogenesis... Damn thats some good shit.
