Last week, in this already somewhat controversial article, I gave you a thorough explanation and argument behind my newest conviction that when it comes to the ever-expanding and increasingly popular world of plant medicines, not only do the "cons outweigh the pros," but when you're partaking of these type of compounds and chemicals that significantly alter your state of consciousness (particularly in a recreational setting), you are opening yourself up to influence from a spiritual world that threatens to land you in a very dark place indeed.

In other words, when it comes to plant medicines, we aren't just talking about the equivalent of drinking too much coffee or having a bit too much pre-workout kratom or chomping on an extra piece of nicotine gum or socially lubricating an evening with an extra glass of wine. Instead, substances such as LSD, psilocybin, peyote, mescaline, or any other highly effective and typically hallucinogenic or psychedelic consciousness-altering compound that I named in Part 1 have great potential to open you up to a deep, dark, spiritual world in which there is a battle for your very soul.

So if you didn't yet read Part 1, please, please do.

Of course, there are several unanswered questions and considerations that I need to address here in Part 2, namely: microdosing with plant medicines, the "responsible" use of marijuana, the bigger, glaring issue that many of these types of vices bring up, and a special project I'll be working on that I'd like to invite you to be a part of.

So, let's dive in.

In this episode, you'll hear:

-What about microdosing?...06:45

-What about marijuana?...15:30

-The "bigger issue"...26:00

-Summary, and what comes next: "Viceless"...35:02

0:00.0	My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast.
0:03.9	Now this is exactly why I've said in the past that when say a man goes to porn,
0:07.5	right, he's looking for something to fill that eternal,
0:09.6	gnawing hole in his soul and only God can fill a God-shaped hole in a soul.
0:13.7	Just because you and I might be responsible enough to have a pantry full of tiny doses of
0:18.4	hallucinogens that we use with great care, there is a very great risk that these compounds could
0:22.7	get into the wrong hand. So the fact that there's a great big warning sign tells me that we need
0:27.2	to be very very careful indeed with promoting and extolling the virtues of these plants.
0:35.8	Faith, family, fitness, health, performance, nutrition, longevity, ancestral living,
0:44.4	biohacking, and a whole lot more. Welcome to the show.
0:48.1	Dr. Hoi Maud!
0:57.6	Hey, want spice things up in the bedroom? Boost your sexual performance and do it naturally
1:01.9	without nasty prescription drugs or so-called gas station pills? Well, listen, a lot of those
1:07.7	pills out there, they're horrible for you. I mean, who wants a four-hour erection, nasty side effects,
1:11.6	heart problems, and a possible trip to the hospital, get rid of that thing? And who wants to,
1:16.1	you know, sneak those little blue pills around? Wouldn't you rather take a natural supplement that'll
1:20.3	spice things up naturally rather than a prescription drug that could have harmful effects down the road?
1:25.2	I mean, you go to great lengths, the biohack your way to better mental and physical performance,
1:29.4	but how about the bedroom? And that's where joy mode comes in. Joel, holy mode. So it's not a
1:35.2	joystick, don't worry, it's actually just this super tasty powder. So it's a sexual performance booster,
1:40.8	supports a direction quality and firmness, sex drive, clinically supported doses of citrally
1:45.2	and argining your hembein and vitamin C created by scientists and biochemical PhDs. When you take it,
