There was another guy, Brandon, who has a longevity Institute in Las Vegas.

When I went to the Sensoria, it's a, essentially it's a, let's call it a wizard meetup, but it's Sensoria is like a consortium of neuroscientists and psychonauts that meet in outside of Porto, Portugal on a, this kind of resort space.

And then they give talks about like the current state of neuroscience and pharma, psychopharmacology and,

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

dealing with like tribal indigenous medicines all the way to new synthesized compounds.

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And then there's an apothecary and you go through like a

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

a psych eval and a healthy eval, it's loose, you know, it's not like super simple, but it's honest and you present this information.

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

So they have that, there's a whole system, but you can go to the apothecary in the evening and you can ask for 200 milligrams of methequiline and blah, blah, blah, blah, format and blah, blah, blah, blah, mixper or whatever it is.

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And then you can see the compounds list and see your different stacks and, you know, go about that way.

And psychonautics is an interesting practice because for a long time I was like, oh, I'm just a drug user, you know, like I love drugs.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

But I've never thought of myself as like, I use drugs or I'm a drug user.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

I like drugs.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

I like drugs because a lot of people are afraid of them.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And everything in life is a drug.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being
