How to Change Your Mind

The documentary unfolds meaningful topics that are much needed in our time of superficial, fast paced lives, governed by quick consumption media and confused values. Of course, the information is not new in any way since it has been explored for 1000s of years already. It's just that researching it from a scientific point of view is only a few decades old and has tragically been relegated to the woowoo department.

I've been saying the same things for the past 23 years, but of course, most people prefer to focus on gratifying their senses and anything beyond that falls on deaf ears.

Hopefully, this great docu will get the exposure it deserves. But the docu is not that important in itself. It's the message within that matters.

Our consciousness is the greatest mystery in our lives, and it is only by radically exploring this mystery that we can achieve lasting, positive change within ourselves. And it is only by doing that that we can hope to change society as a whole.

I've found it's hard to force spirituality on anybody, and difficult to stress the importance of these chemicals for living a full life (for some). Shows like this are excellent ways of spreading the word, and inspiring more people to get involved.

Michael Pollan explains things very well - if you've seen him on various podcasts or read his book you'll know that.

Sometimes a lot of the accounts can become slightly repetitive, but that's probably just my opinion as I've seen a lot of similar content.

Highly recommend.

So long classified as dangerous drugs, certain psychedelics, when used under the integrity of trained guidance for the purpose of personal growth and healing, are amazingly effective at getting at the root cause of issues preventing us from being our best selves. This series does a wonderful job of presenting this perspective in a way that is both fascinating and informative.

I found this to be a very hopeful and inspiring documentary, regarding the renaissance of psychedelic drugs for the treatment of the most critical mental illnesses. Research on four different drugs has been given the green light to resume after initial trials in the 1950s and early 1960s. These drugs are being proven to genuinely help with long entrenched maladies such as PTSD, depression and anxiety, providing real and lasting help to those so afflicted. Should be mandatory viewing for policymakers involved with overhauling America's mental health delivery system.

This series is a great way to show the beauty in these compounds and the benefits of medical use in a very interesting way. I believe this can change the future of mental health positively as well as many others.

It was also very educational in the history behind psychedelics which I also enjoyed to watch.
