The Blue Portal and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy Experience Introduction

You all suggested I do a deep dive into Psilocybin mushrooms. I decided it was time to look at the science and immerse myself into those that are trying to use them to treat people for depression, anxiety, trauma and ptsd. I hope you get something out of this dive into the science. If you want to hear more about my experience, I'll be releasing the next video specifically about that. If you have your own experience, feel free to leave it in the comments below.
