Todays talk with bestselling author Matt Zemon, will be a walk on the wild side. Matt’s many accomplishments, as well as his background in psychology, neuroscience, and mental health make him one of the most sought after consultants in the world of psychedelics! Here are but a few of the areas I look forward to investigating.
As a neuroscientist:
Long-term high dose of psilocybin can lead to changes in brain structure and function, specifically affecting neural plasticity, synaptic connectivity and the regulation of neurotransmitter systems involved in cognition and emotional processing. However, there is limited research on the long-term effects of high dose psilocybin use and more studies are needed to fully understand its impact on the brain.
Spiritual Leader:
From a spiritual perspective, psilocybin has been used for centuries in spiritual and medicinal practices to promote insight, self-awareness and connection with the spiritual realm. Long-term high dose use of psilocybin can lead to altered states of consciousness and changes in perception that can impact behavior and worldview, potentially leading to spiritual evolution.
As an ethnobotanist:
From an ethnobotanical perspective, psilocybin has been used by indigenous cultures for centuries for spiritual and medicinal purposes, often as a sacrament in sacred ceremonies. The long-term effects of high dose psilocybin use in these cultures have not been well studied, but it is believed to play a role in shaping cultural norms, beliefs and practices. Further research is needed to understand its impact on cultural evolution.
I realise that no one individual can have all the answers but I’m really looking forward to this conversation!
