An Evening with Paul Stamets, Renowned Mycologist

Psilocybin as Medicine: The Molecule and The Mushroom
Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for hundreds, likely thousands of years. With at least 220+ psilocybin species known to date, their widespread occurrence and long history of use by numerous cultures has set the stage for modern medicine to measure therapeutic benefits. Currently, more than 186 universities and institutions have been approved for psilocybin clinical studies ranging from treating depression to Alzheimer’s to addiction, psilocybin is now at the forefront of medical research. In 2019, the FDA designated psilocybin as a breakthrough therapy.
Paul’s talk will cover the psilocybin movement through history into the modern epoch, an overview of the most clinically significant studies, the newest research on psilocybin analogues, microdosing, and the implications for creating a paradigm shift in the ecology of consciousness.
Will psilocybin help you be a healthier, happier, and better Earth citizen? Will psilocybin be the tipping point in the next quantum leap in the evolution of humans? Let’s look at the evidence together for an informed discussion.
