@TheMushroomCure, my true tale of OCD & psychedelics, plays Boston Sept 26. "Brilliant" -Michael Pollan. "A great deal of laughter from disabling pain"-NY Times

[Adam Strauss @atomstrauss]

The Mushroom Cure, my solo show about my quest to cure my OCD with mushrooms, plays Boston on Saturday.

We’re filming the performance for a feature film of the live show, executive produced by @michaelpollan.

[Adam Strauss @atomstrauss]

My new solo show Before I Forget plays tonight and most weekends through October in NYC. Alzheimer's, AI, Ancient Greece and (of course) mushrooms collide in this true tale of memory, mortality, and meaning.

Just a few tickets left for Before I Forget in SF tonight!

"How dare young US jews place the mass killing of innocents above blind allegiance to a foreign government whose main policy goal is keeping its prime minister out of jail?"

[Chris Menahan 🇺🇸 @infolibnews]

Fmr Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz laments to Jewish Federation that people are finding content from "Al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes" on social media and seeing videos of "the carnage in Gaza."

Holocaust education has backfired in part as people see Palestinians as Jews' victims, she adds.

"They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

(The lesson they were supposed to get is that it gives Israel the right to commit genocide in perpetuity.)

Two upcoming workshop performances of my new solo show in NYC

[Adam Strauss @atomstrauss]

@becca_kacanda @alex_here_now @HamiltonMorris I agree, these are very real concerns.

[Adam Strauss @atomstrauss]

How does the narrative around psychedelics—corporatization, commercialization, and “evil billionaires”—affect the people using them for healing?

@hamiltonmorris is my guest on the first episode of Obsessed with Adam Strauss, available now on all podcast platforms and YouTube.

[Adam Strauss @atomstrauss]

@nub @HamiltonMorris Thanks. Yeah, we both tend towards getting a bit manically excited about things that engage us, which can lead to digressions.

[Adam Strauss @atomstrauss]

@Drug_Researcher @HamiltonMorris Hey thanks Matthew. Yeah, these are really important questions that need to be grappled with in a nuanced way. Thanks for your part in inspiring us to explore this.

[Matthew W. Johnson @Drug_Researcher]

@atomstrauss has a cool new podcast on psychedelics. In this 1st episode he talks with @HamiltonMorris, who discusses my warning folks about derealization risk with psychedelics. Link to video in replies (around 36-45 min into video). It's an important conversation- how do we handle risks? Does warning about risk give ammunition to opponents of the field? Has enough simply been said about harms over the years? My take is to try to be nuanced- convey risk but also discuss benefits & ways to mitigate risk. Lots of discussion of other big picture issues in the psychedelic field, including the pervasiveness of virtue signaling, and the dangers of assuming nonprofits are good guys and for-profits are bad guys (no relation to ethics that I've seen). Check it out.

[Adam Strauss @atomstrauss]

First workshop of my new solo show in NYC Saturday! This Is All We Have is about heartbreak, loneliness mental illness, death, and other hilarious things. Ticket link in bio.
