The History of Psilocybin: Humanity’s Oldest Trip (SOLD OUT)

  • Side Hustle Local (Speakeasy) 18117 Bothell Way Northeast Bothell, Washington, 98011 United States (map)

From sacred rituals to outlaw science, psilocybin mushrooms have been altering minds and history for thousands of years.

Psilocybin has been called sacred, illegal, medicinal, and dangerous - sometimes all at once. This is an unfiltered dive into the mushrooms that keep showing up where they're not supposed to. From ancient rites to modern reboots, we'll explore how psilocybin shaped religion, medicine, culture, and controversy across continents and centuries. You’ll learn what it is, what it does (without the neuroscience lecture), and why it refuses to stay buried. Expect strange detours, disputed theories, and a few stories you'll probably want to fact-check afterward.
