Australia could be sitting on ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฑ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐. Growing in school playgrounds and suburban backyards.
And for the first time in history, someone is testing ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ.
A researcher named Dr. Mitchell Low is five years deep into cataloguing every species of Australian wattle for psychoactive compounds. Not just DMT. Unknown ones. Molecules that don't have names yet. The kind of thing that could completely rewrite how we treat depression, addiction, anxiety โ all of it.
Some of the samples he's already tested are 3x more potent than ayahuasca. The same plants shamans have been calling "vine of the soul" for centuries. Getting outperformed by a tree next to a bus stop in Perth.
They've already run a trial. Nine people. A DMT formulation made from wattle. The participants reported experiences that exceeded published psilocybin and LSD results. Not comparable. ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ.
The next step is a randomized controlled trial for major depressive disorder and alcohol use disorder.
Australia was the first country on Earth to legalize psilocybin therapy in 2023.
But the most interesting thing growing in Australia might not be mushrooms. It might be the same tree that academics believe Moses was staring at when he saw God in the burning bush.
the war on drugs is a war on consciousness. and consciousness is winning. slowly. painfully.
one person at a time eating something they were told would kill them and waking up more alive than they've ever been.
