I think that's the thing like if you've got severe Ptsd, depression, things like that, and you've tried other things and they haven't helped, you should be the first one in line to be able to try psychedelics as soon as they become, you know, safe enough for public consumption, um, to where you don't have to feel like people.
Ever wondered how a stoner/surfer/hippie character becomes a TikTok sensation? Meet Austin Kress, the creative mind behind Stoney McBlaze, who joins Matthew Dunehoo on MINDBEND to share his fascinating journey. Austin moved to LA with dreams of acting and soon realized he needed to embrace his 'type' to make it big. His deep dive into the world of cannabis and comedy through The Groundlings gave birth to Stoney McBlaze, a character adored by 2.2 million followers on TikTok.
But there's more to Austin than just laughs and weed. He opens up about his struggles with alcoholism and how psychedelics, particularly microdosing mushrooms, have played a role in his mental health journey. The episode also touches on the changing landscape of cannabis and the need for balance in its commercialization. Austin's candid discussion with Matthew offers a mix of humor, insight, and real talk about addiction and mental wellness.
Whether you're curious about the life of a comedian or the potential benefits of psychedelics, this episode is a rollercoaster of revelations and laughter.
