When you start noticing that, Jim, are you like telling people around you like, I'm noticing something in my leg. And what was the response like? Was there an awareness among the people you were with that psilocybin could have that kind of physical manifestation or were people sort of like... and was it mysterious?
When that day was over and you started noticing the trip was ending, were you afraid it was going to go away?
You're saying it could have just been that? You're not sure?
And did that functionality with your right hamstring from that day, was that a milestone of recovery that you've got functionality that stayed?
A milestone, but not an end. Alongside his physical rehab, Jim was also struggling with his mental health. It hit a low point two years in.
And you're turning 35 that year? It's 2017?
So you're a young person, and you're looking at a long downward slide. Mm-hmm. And how long... How long did that sort of heavy, dark period last?
Did you have psychiatric help during that time?
What for you did you not like about antidepressants?
Coming up, Jim keeps looking for a solution and tries a new psychedelic.
Two years after his spinal cord injury, Jim Harris was able to walk with a cane, but he tired easily, and he sometimes struggled with how much he missed his body pre-injury.
And was your experience, I don't know if it like feels this way, but like did you feel something in your body in a way that felt familiar to what your experience had been like? when your right hamstring recovered? Did you feel as if something after that experience, something in the way your brain was functioning, was happening differently?
You didn't get any answers, but you got some sensation.
Jim now lives in western Colorado, in a town surrounded by mountains and ski resorts. He's able to do some physical activities like pack rafting and mountain biking, with limitations, and he makes art like woodblock prints of nature scenes.
Jim also has become a vocal advocate for therapeutic psychedelic use, including during the successful 2022 voter ballot initiative in Colorado to legalize psilocybin therapy and decriminalized five psychedelics, including DMT, the active psychedelic in ayahuasca. But Jim says he relies on other long-term supports to take care of his mental health, too. One came unexpectedly.
Was it a younger men's group?
Does it still meet?
I see. So you're a winter young men's group.
And being together.
Can you describe for me where you notice your accident now in your body? Like what doesn't work in the same way that it did before your accident?
