American entrepreneur turned biohacker Bryan Johnson is no stranger to esoteric self-experiments in the quest to live a longer life, from injecting Botox into his genitals to receiving blood plasma infusions from his teenage son.
But this month he took a trip of sorts, streaming live on social media his experience of taking psilocybin, a psychedelic ingredient found in magic mushrooms, as a longevity therapy.
The 48-year-old founder of the Don’t Die movement wore a brain activity monitor to record the effects when he took a 4.67-gram dose of dried Psilocybe cubensis (B+ strain) mushrooms containing 24.9mg of psilocybin, mixed with orange juice.
An Instagram post detailed the event.
“It felt like my consciousness was dialled up to 10/10. I felt hyper aware and alive and insatiably curious. The experience was exhilarating and positive in every way. I felt like a kid … exploring a new playground,” he said.
“It felt like my perception was returned to factory settings and dissolved my aged numbness.”
