Did you know that some people experience time loops during psychedelic trips?

During a psychedelic experience, some individuals report entering what feels like a "time loop," where moments seem to repeat endlessly. This phenomenon can make time feel like it's stretching on forever, creating a unique and intense psychological experience.

While these time loops can be disorienting, they often lead to deep personal insights and a better understanding of one's fears and relationships.

Navigating through a time loop can be challenging, but focusing on your breathing, grounding exercises, or finding comfort in familiar surroundings can help turn the experience into a journey of self-discovery. Reflecting on these moments afterward can provide valuable lessons and growth.

Gotta Blast 🚀:

• Over 60% of athletes are open to using psychedelic-assisted therapy for concussion recovery, with strong support from their coaches and trainers.

• As Colorado rolls out its natural medicine program, health professionals emphasize education and safety as the keys to its success.

• Three months after completing an 8-week microdosing regimen, participants still show a 62.8% reduction in depressive symptoms.

CHANGING MINDS🧠

Athletes Are Warming Up to Psychedelics for Concussion Therapy 🧠

More than 60% of athletes say they’re open to trying psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) to help bounce back from concussions, according to a new study published in Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology.

And it’s not just the players—over 70% of coaches, trainers, and other sports staff are on board with the idea too.

The study surveyed 175 people across the U.S. and Canada, including athletes and sports staff, to get a pulse on their thoughts about using psychedelics like psilocybin for concussion recovery.

The results?

A strong majority are willing to give it a shot, seeing potential benefits in managing post-concussion symptoms.

But it's not all smooth sailing. Concerns about the long-term effects of psychedelics are still on the radar, with about a quarter of respondents highlighting this as a key worry. Access to these treatments and potential stigma from coaches also popped up as barriers that could hold athletes back.

Despite these concerns, about a third of those surveyed admitted to using psychedelics like psilocybin in the past year, mainly for personal growth and mood enhancement. This shows a growing curiosity—and perhaps even acceptance—of psychedelics within the sports world.

The takeaway?

The door is wide open for more research and conversation about how psychedelics could play a role in concussion therapy. While the jury’s still out on their effectiveness for sports-related brain injuries, the enthusiasm from the athletic community suggests we might be on the brink of a new era in sports medicine.

MOVING THE NEEDLE🪡

Colorado’s Psychedelic Playbook: Education and Safety Lead the Charge 📖

As Colorado gears up to issue its first licenses for psychedelic mushroom therapy, the buzzword on everyone’s lips is “education.” Healthcare professionals who have been closely monitoring the rollout say that how well the public is informed will make or break the success of this groundbreaking program.

Unlike the more familiar cannabis dispensary model, Colorado’s approach to psychedelics is a tightly controlled operation. Interested participants will need to undergo a thorough screening process to assess any potential risks before they can embark on a psilocybin session.

These sessions will take place in a regulated environment, overseen by licensed facilitators who have undergone rigorous training. The state’s regulatory framework has been split between two agencies—one handling the business licensing and the other overseeing the training and certification of facilitators.

But what’s really got people talking is the potential for psilocybin to revolutionize mental health treatment. With research suggesting it could be a game-changer for conditions like PTSD, depression, and addiction, the stakes are high. Advocates stress that the program’s success hinges on maintaining strict safety protocols and ensuring that facilitators are well-prepared.

As the December 31 deadline for licensing applications approaches, Colorado is on the cusp of pioneering a new chapter in mental health care. This program could pave the way for a future where psychedelics are a mainstream treatment option—if it’s done right.
