He's back!

Saugat Bolakhe is rejoining us as one of ten Ferriss-UC Berkeley Psychedelic Journalism Fellows. He will be reporting about the mystic and cult following surrounding mad honey, an unregulated psychedelic harvested from the Himalayan cliffs of Nepal and promoted by "podcast bros" such as Joe Rogan.

Have you explored psychedelics as a tool for self-healing or personal growth?

I want my feed to be more focused on topics like Anarchism, Syndicalism, Psychedelics, Buddhism, Linux, and LGBTQIA. To do this, I'm going to unfollow some people so my feed aligns better with my interests and values.

No hard feelings to anyone, except for fascist scums, I'll block them right away.

It's like #FollowFriday, so if you want to support me, boost this post!

"The Colorado psychedelic mushroom experiment has arrived

The first licenses for providing psychedelic mushrooms have been issued.

'Magic' mushrooms grow in popularity nationwideWith states like Colorado and Oregon legalizing therapeutic psilocybin use, our panel examines how and why people are indulging in the psychedelic.

Colorado regulators are issuing licenses for providing psychedelic mushrooms and are planning to authorize the state's first 'healing centers,' where the mushrooms can be ingested under supervision, in late spring or early summer.

The dawn of state-regulated psychedelic mushrooms has arrived in Colorado, nearly two years since Oregon began offering them. The mushrooms are a Schedule I drug and illegal under federal law except for clinical research. But more than a dozen cities nationwide have deprioritized or decriminalized them in the past five years, and many eyes are turned toward Oregon's and Colorado's state-regulated programs."
