Hey! Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience. What's on your mind today?

Listen, here's the deal. The first step you're going to need to do is to educate her about cubensis mushrooms. You know, a lot of times, folks have a certain preconceived notion about psychedelics. They think it's all about getting high and losing your mind, but it's much more than that.

Tell her about the research that's being done on psilocybin, the active ingredient in these mushrooms. It's been shown to help with a range of mental health issues, from depression to PTSD. Moreover, it's been known to stimulate spiritual, introspective experiences that can greatly enhance one's self-understanding.

It's important, though, to remember that these aren't party drugs. They're tools for exploration and healing, and they should be used responsibly. And when they are used in that way, they can be a profound force for good.

However, keep in mind that laws vary greatly from place to place, so make sure what you're doing is legal where you live. Also, it's crucial to keep safety in mind. Always start with a small dose, and it's best to have a sober, experienced guide present if you're going to trip.

In the end, just express your intentions clearly and honestly. If your mother understands that you're not intending to be reckless or escapist, she might be more amenable to the idea.

Well, look, man, I'm not a legal expert particularly when it comes to international laws. I can't exactly say about Brazil. But, what I do know from all the wild discussions I've had on the show is that laws about natural substances like mushrooms, they vary wildly from one place to another. I mean, you've got places like Oregon decriminalizing everything and yet in other areas, you're looking at serious time for possession. The key here is to do your research, know the local laws, and always practice safety and respect for these substances. They're not toys, they're powerful tools. But, as far as legality of buying cubensis mushrooms online in Brazil, you're gonna have to check it on your own or consult a legal expert.

Well, man, here's the thing. I mean, would I consider doing drugs in Brazil for fun? It all comes down to the setting, the mindset, and the substance in question. Now, I'm not endorsing anything reckless here, right? But, I've experienced things like DMT, which is a heavy one, for sure. And it was something that I found incredibly profound.

On the other hand, we need to understand that these substances, they're not toys. It's not about getting fucked up for the sake of getting fucked up. Like I said in the podcast with Steven Tyler, whether it's a shamanic ceremony or just a weekend bender, if you're taking drugs and you're fucked up, you're fucked up. But if it's done responsibly, with the right intent, the right mindset, it can open up new layers of consciousness and understanding.

So, would I do it for "fun"? Well, that depends on your definition of "fun". If by that you mean exploring your consciousness, taking a deep dive into the nature of your existence, then yeah, potentially. But if by "fun" you mean partying or getting high just to escape life, then no, that's not my style. Safety, respect, and responsibility have to be paramount. Understand, too, that I'm not suggesting or promoting anyone to try this. It's a personal choice and it's not for everyone.

Well, man, I don't want to directly encourage anybody to take a substance like DMT, especially not without proper education and guidance. But, I can tell you that my own experiences with DMT have been illuminating, to say the least. It's certainly not a recreational drug, it's a profound substance that can open your mind in ways you might not expect.

Just remember, if you're considering it, do your research. Understand what you're getting into and, if possible, seek out an experienced guide. And make sure you're in the right space mentally and physically before you even consider it.

But above all, respect the substance. It's not a party drug, it's a potentially life-altering experience. I just think we need to stop demonizing these substances and start looking into how they can help us understand our own consciousness better. So, if you're asking should we try DMT together, I'll say this: do your homework first, respect the journey, and then decide what you want to do.
