Sara: "I was going to ask whether psychedelics are consciousness enhancers or whether it's just a big red herring?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Sara, […] my last blog, […] you saw Alexander Wunsch's slide that's in there about photoadaptation and amino acids? […] Did you see the one path in there? I want you to look at it a little closer. You know what it says there? Tryptamines. […] Guess what? That's where they come from. So it's a melanin story. so even the drug addicts that like this work and think that's where the evolution came from, it's still a melanin story! And they don't know it! […]
"The people that get a benefit from using mind-altering chemicals like DMT, psilocybin, all this stuff for mental disorders, that tells you you have a melanin renovation problem in your head. That's fundamentally what it means.
"I've been around people that have taken those medications and they've not had any of the effects that people who use it. Like when people go on these Ayahuasca trips. Like I've got a member who I'm thinking about right now who's told me, 'I will pay for your trip. I want to have an Ayahuasca trip with you, Jack.' And I told him I said, 'Dude. I don't think it's going to do anything to me.' Because he did it. He happens to be a doctor. I'm like, 'I don't think it's going to affect me because I think my redox in my head's pretty good. My redox in other parts of my body may not be so good, but I don't think it's going to have a huge effect.' I told them in my past when I was a kid, I had the opportunity to do mushrooms with my friends. This was when I was a teenager. Did nothing to me. Absolutely nothing.
"When I saw Alexander's slide and I saw that was there, I was hoping that people would begin to ask me the question you just asked me. Because this is another one of those aromatic amino acids that is being changed by this VUV light into things that allow us to do things we do.
"Do I believe, because you haven't asked this question but I know it's probably circulating your head, do I believe this is why psilocybin, ketamine, LSD, all those drugs can have effects for people that have dopamine problems in the frontal lobes? Absolutely! No question about it. Do I think it's one of the, I don't want to say solution, but I think is it a potential to help their symptoms? No question."
