Woodstein Media Podcast Episode 27: Pardon those MVLL CRIMES; let’s talk about Magic Mushrooms with Jillian Clair

This episode features a conversation with Jillian Clair about the movement to legalize magic mushrooms and her research into the benefits of Psilocybin, that ingredient some mushrooms have which adds that psychedelic touch to them that many of us have grown to love. The mood-stabilizing gift from nature that governments want to deny access to.

As users and not scientists studying Psilocybin, much of the conversation is anecdotal. The subjects covered are first use, positive experiences with mushrooms, the few ways to access Psilocybin in Canada legally, tips for the safe use of shrooms (this can be applied to many drugs), thoughts about fear-mongering tactics used to vilify the use of hallucinogens and other drugs, how to stay positive during the fight for decriminalization while harm reduction increasingly comes under attack, and how to write to your local MP with your concerns.

This is Clair’s second appearance on the Woodstein Media Podcast. You can listen to her talk about MVLL CRIMES on episode four.

Currently, in Canada, there is no “grey zone” regarding Psilocybin. It is illegal, so take care. –
