Some years ago, Member Monday took a deep dive into the world of Psilocybin, particularly its non-recreational application to substantially reduce the anxiety and depression attendant to the terminal patient’s impending death. As we discussed at the time:

Psilocybin -- the psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms -- is enjoying quite a rehabilitation of reputation these days. Once the subject of Timothy Leary's counterculture playground and Nixon's anti-drug vendetta, it has found its way into the research labs at Johns Hopkins, NYU, and the Imperial College in London (MM 7/24/17 Hallucinogens).

Our upcoming discussion will go beyond the confines of the strictly medical world as we open ourselves up to investigate what might be termed the whole-life application, which will include the very recent experience of our lead participant, fresh off a guided Psilocybin event of his own. This member’s identity will be revealed at our session, along with his motivation to embark on the experience in the first place, how he navigated any tricky legalities (note: psilocybin therapy was decriminalized in Denver through a 2019 ballot initiative), what he learned in the process, and whether/why he might recommend it to others.

The only hint about our mystery participant is that he is known for his openness. Others are more than welcome to join in to share individual experiences as we explore various states of expanded consciousness.
