Are functional mushrooms superior to psychedelic mushrooms?

Jake Plummer Is Sold on Functional Mushrooms

“We believe that functional mushrooms have as much, if not more, potential to help humanity than psilocybin, and that’s coming from me, who is dedicating my life to advancing psilocybin mushrooms and psychedelics as a whole,” says Del Jolly, co-founder of the psychedelic research non-profit Unlimited Sciences.

That’s why he recently co-founded a functional mushroom company called Umbo alongside pro athletes Jake Plummer and Rashad Evans.

Plummer, former Denver Broncos quarterback, says he’s found a lot of healing through mushrooms, using them to counteract the harm that football injuries can have on the brain. He’s also noticed that his allergies symptoms and quality of sleep have improved since introducing functional mushrooms to his diet.

Red Light Holland: Global Comedy Star Russell Peters to Have a Psychedelic Journey with Red Light Holland’s Natural Psilocybin Truffles and Red Light Holland’s Therapist in Amsterdam

Red Light Holland: Global Comedy Star Russell Peters to Have a Psychedelic Journey with Red Light Holland’s Natural Psilocybin Truffles and Red Light Holland’s Therapist in Amsterdam

  • Red Light Holland to reschedule a live stream in late May 2022, of an intimate Russell Peters Q & A in front of a live audience, after he completes his journey, on multiple social media accounts.
  • Red Light Holland to document Russell Peters’ moments in The Netherlands, as he will be accompanied by a camera crew.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 4, 2022) – Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company”), an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth, and sale of a premium brand of magic truffles, is pleased to announce Russell Peters, the company’s Chief Creative Officer (Twitter: @TheRealRussellP – 3.9M Followers, Facebook: The REAL Russell Peters – 1.4M Followers, Instagram: @RussellPeters 502k) is expected to arrive in Amsterdam to experience his first psychedelic journey, in late May, 2022. Russell will be using Red Light Holland’s premium psilocybin truffles and will be guided by Red Light Holland’s therapist and expert psychedelic guide Jeff Hamburg. Peters will be accompanied by a camera crew and will give a special intimate Q&A hosted by CEO Todd Shapiro in front of a live audience which will be live-streamed on Red Light Holland social media accounts after he completes his journey and integration session. More details about the location and exact times, anticipated to happen in late May 2022, will be released in the near future.

“As I’ve previously said – after I deal with all my trauma – I hope I still have the ability to make people laugh,” said Russell Peters, Red Light Holland’s Chief Creative Officer. “Truthfully 2021 was a tough year for many of us. Personally, I missed performing. I missed the adrenaline of a live audience on a consistent basis. Connecting with a loyal audience is what made me who I am, and its something I’ve always been grateful for. However, through the struggles of a changing world came perspective and love. In October 2021, I actually thought I was ready for this journey – but now I’m truly ready for the Red Light Holland team to help guide me through a deeper meaning to this wild life which we all have one shot at. I hope by eventually sharing my Red Light Holland facilitated journey in a livestream during a Q&A with CEO Todd Shapiro to the world, we can try to inspire and help others. Life has ups and downs. Enjoying the ups is great, but dealing with the downs are important, as is set and setting, proper guidance and timing. The time is right. Red Light Holland and I are ready.”

“Russell and I were originally supposed to be in The Netherlands in October 2021 to bring this experience to the world – but then I unfortunately got COVID-19 and I couldn’t travel,” said Todd Shapiro, CEO and Director of Red Light Holland. “Russell was willing to go ahead but asked if we could be there together so we could talk about his experience in a candid, genuine and unstructured – real – fashion, as we’ve known each other on a personal level for quite some time now. We’ve been patient and now we’ve found a window of opportunity to make whole on his journey! Let’s hope Covid or any other unforeseen events don’t bring us down, as we are genuinely looking forward to late May. We are a very progressive company and we are not afraid to highlight our mission – of providing responsible use, affordable and equitable access to psilocybin with the goal of positive change. Russell’s willingness to share his experience is a blessing. It’s rare that you get a celebrity of his stature able to open up about such an intimate moment in their life. As I used to say, ‘stay tuned’ for more details to come soon. Much love!”

“Again, I’m excited to facilitate Russell on his truffle journey. It will be fascinating to hear Russell share his experience with the world since every journey is unique,” said Jeff Hamburg, Red Light Holland Therapist and expert psychedelic facilitator. “I am confident this will be beneficial not only to Russell himself, but to others hearing and learning about the potential benefits of such an experience.”

Red Light Holland and Russell Peters will share more details, about where and when people in the Netherlands can attend the live intimate event and where individuals all around the world can view the live-stream, in the near future.

Can shrooms make you a better leader?

Mark Messier on leadership, trust and magic mushrooms

Magic mushrooms may have been the key to this NHL legend’s success.

Mark Messier, the only NHL player to lead two different teams to Stanley Cup championships, said that a magic mushroom trip at age 19 sparked his interest in spirituality and the power of the mind.

“I had no idea the mind was that powerful. Obviously it turned out to be an amazing experience, but more important was the question afterwards: wow, how can I use my mind to empower myself to be a better player, to be a better person, to have more energy, to create a better aura?,” he explains.

The trip inspired Messier to learn about Eastern philosophies, Buddhism, Indigenous spirituality, and meditation, which had a major influence on him both as a player and a leader.

Kacey Musgraves on writing new album Star-crossed: “You aren’t owed a visit by the muse. She can visit or not visit”

Was Kacey Musgraves’ new album inspired by shrooms?

Two days before recording Star-crossed, Kacey went on a guided psilocybin journey that brought up a lot of feelings. She laid blindfolded and listened the Johns Hopkins psychedelic therapy playlist, which is curated by neuroscientists to trigger different emotions.

“Music has never sounded so good than it did when I was in that state,” she says. “You notice every nuance of every note. You react viscerally to it. And that served as a lot of the inspiration for the new record.”

She said that psilocybin helps people confront their demons, which “instantly makes them smaller”. After struggling through a recent divorce, the experience helped Musgraves find hope and gratitude for her other relationships in life.

After suffering from depression for 22 years, actress Kristen Bell found relief and self-love from a single dose of psilocybin

Kristen Bell on Mushrooms: ‘I Really Wanted to Try Some Psilocybin’

After suffering from depression for 22 years, actress Kristen Bell found relief and self-love from a single dose of psilocybin. Kristen Bell became extremely interested in psychedelics and their power to change your mindset after reading How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan. Bell has suffered from waves of depression for 22 years and has tried everything from antidepressants and therapy to meditation. Bell took one dose of psilocybin, and stated that “the places you can go in your brain are much deeper and more healing than anything else”. Bell explains that the out of body experience she had while taking mushrooms gave her a sense of self love. “I had separated this body that had done so much good in my life, that has taken me through happiness and pain and workouts and laziness that I just, like, couldn’t stop touching my legs, going, ‘You’re so strong. You’re so elegant’ .”
