90. What is The Heroic Dose and How it Can Change Your Life

90. What is The Heroic Dose and How it Can Change Your Life

A heroic dose, as McKenna described, involves consuming five grams of dried Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms in a controlled, distraction-free environment. But as transformative as this journey can be, it is not without challenges. Matthew Johnson, a psychiatry expert from Johns Hopkins, explains how these experiences can oscillate between euphoric highs and deeply unsettling lows. With his insights and others, we emphasize the importance of a trusted guide or sitter to ensure safety and stability throughout the process.

We’ll also hear from individuals like Sam Harris, a neuroscientist and bestselling author, who recounts his own experiences with a heroic dose. From moments of profound introspection to the necessity of integrating these lessons into daily life, Harris highlights how preparation, acceptance, and mindfulness are key to navigating such transformative experiences.
