The growth of a pre-Inca civilization known as the Wari may have been aided by psychedelic-laced beer, researchers propose in a new study. The Wari flourished from roughly A.D. 600 to 1000 and are known for their mummified burials, human sacrifices, and elaborate objects created out of gold, silver and bronze. They also built cities such as Huari and Pikillaqta, which contained temples and dwellings for elite inhabitants, and controlled much of Peru as well as parts of Argentina and Chile. In the new study, published Monday (Oct. 6) in the journal La Revista de Arqueología Americana (The Journal of American Archaeology), the researchers suggest that Wari rulers used psychedelics mixed in beer to help grow their empire. They explain that the "afterglow" — the long-term effect of drinking the mix — would have lasted weeks and that communal feasts where it was drunk would have brought people together. While the body may excrete psychedelics quickly, the aftereffects can last for days or weeks. The study authors noted that the remains of seeds from a plant named Anadenanthera colubrina (also known as vilca) have been found at Wari sites, including near the remains of beer made from a plant called Schinus molle. Mixing the vilca, which is known to produce a psychedelic effect, with the beer would have "lessened but extended the high," Justin Jennings, a curator of South American Archaeology at the Royal Ontario Museum and co-author of the paper, told Live Science in an email. In the paper, the authors noted that scientific studies of similarly acting psychedelics found that people who took them tended to display "greater openness and empathy." These traits "would have been highly desirable for a Wari political system that depended on friendly, routine face-to-face interactions between people who had once been strangers or even enemies," the researchers wrote in their paper. People would have drunk the psychedelic beer together at communal feasts held within enclosed areas at the residences of Wari officials. This shared experience would have enhanced the event, the researchers said. "When guests came to the Wari compounds, they gathered in patios that could only comfortably fit a couple dozen people," the team wrote. "Except for a patch of sky, they were cut off from the rest of the world in a high-walled interior space — this was the place where they would spend hours together drinking, eating, talking, and praying," the researchers wrote in their paper. "The hours that participants spent together must have been an unforgettable collective experience that forged strong bonds between participants," they added. Building an empire: The regular, widespread use of the psychedelic beer and its afterglow played a key role in the Wari Empire's consolidation of political power, said Jacob Keer, an independent scholar and co-author of the paper. The "long-term psychological effects of drinking vilca beer a few times a year could constitute a new cognitive normal, instilling increased openness and empathy in feast participants," the researchers wrote in their paper. "Within the context of an expanding empire where violence and animosity was commonplace, the lingering effects [of consuming it] may have been integral to Wari legitimization and consolidation." Scholars who were not involved with the research had mixed reactions to the conclusions in the paper, however. Patrick Ryan Williams, director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University, said the team put forward an "interesting hypothesis" but cautioned that we can't be certain that vilca was actually mixed into beer. "I am not convinced, however, that the discovery of vilca seeds in an area where molle beer was consumed constitutes evidence of vilca being included as an ingredient in beer," Williams said, as it would be like finding cocaine on the floor of a nightclub and assuming the drug was put into drinks. "When a chemical trace for vilca is found in the ceramic pores of drinking cups, I will be more open to the premise presented here," Williams said. Mary Glowacki, an archaeologist and president of the Pre-Columbian Archaeological Research Group, called the paper "thought-provoking" but noted that "most early Andean societies used intoxicating substances — including vilca — for political negotiation." She questioned whether the Wari's use of psychedelics was greatly different from that of other groups in the region.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that without the cerebral cortex, consciousness could not exist. New research, however, has found that humans and animals missing part or all of their cortices are still capable of having experiences associated with consciousness.
This research suggests that consciousness instead originates in the subcortex, and is polished by the cortex and cerebellum.
Whether consciousness is generated by quantum forces or connected to the entire universe is still up for debate, but even the theoretical physicists who suggest these complicated theories have not yet answered one question: Where are consciousness’ origins in the brain? Peter Coppola, a neuroscientist from the University of Cambridge, sought to answer this question with an exhaustive analysis of brain studies going back decades. Consciousness is defined (at least in neuroscience) as “qualitative subjective experience, or ‘what it is like’ to be a specific organism in a specific state,” he said in a study recently published in the journal Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews. Coppola wanted to see what the evidence said, rather than relying on the dominant theories. While there are functions in all parts of the brain that contribute to consciousness, some might be more instrumental than others in giving us that awareness of who and what we are.

React less. When you don’t let your emotions control you, no one can mess with your peace of mind.
Focus on controlling yourself, not others. Trying to change people is hard and draining. Real strength comes from mastering your own actions and responses.
Don’t expect anything, just appreciate everything. Find joy in the little things, and you’ll discover true inner peace.
Do your best and trust the process. The more effort you put in, the luckier you’ll get over time. Trust that your hard work will pay off.
Keep some things to yourself. Not everyone is as invested in your journey as you are, and some may even wish for you to fail. Choose wisely who you share your dreams with.
Choose your friends wisely. Surround yourself with people who help you grow. The right company can make all the difference in how far you go.

What Are B. Cubensis Mushrooms?
B. Cubensis mushrooms, short for Psilocybe cubensis, are one of the most well-known and widely used species of psychedelic mushrooms. Naturally found in tropical and subtropical regions, these fungi contain psilocybin and psilocin—psychoactive compounds known for their ability to produce altered states of consciousness, introspection, and profound emotional insight.
Used for centuries in indigenous spiritual rituals, B. Cubensis is now at the forefront of modern psychedelic research for its potential to transform mental health care.
How B. Cubensis Mushrooms Help Human Lives
1. Supports Mental Health
Studies show that psilocybin, the active compound in B. Cubensis, has significant therapeutic potential for:
Depression
Anxiety
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
In clinical settings, psilocybin-assisted therapy has helped patients achieve long-lasting improvements in mood and overall mental wellness—even after just one or two sessions.
2. Enhances Emotional Healing
B. Cubensis mushrooms allow users to access deeper emotional layers and confront unresolved trauma. Many people report:
Feeling emotionally “lighter” after a session
Gaining clarity on past experiences
Experiencing a release of suppressed feelings
This emotional detox can be life-changing for those struggling with internal conflicts or long-held pain.
3. Boosts Creativity and Cognitive Function
When taken in microdoses (very small, sub-hallucinogenic amounts), B. Cubensis mushrooms have been linked to:
Enhanced creativity
Improved focus and problem-solving
Reduced mental fog
Increased motivation
Many professionals and creatives are turning to microdosing psilocybin to unlock their cognitive potential and stay mentally sharp.
4. Promotes Spiritual Growth
Beyond therapeutic use, B. Cubensis mushrooms are revered for their ability to:
Induce mystical or spiritual experiences
Increase mindfulness and a sense of interconnectedness
Encourage a deeper connection with nature, self, and the universe
These experiences often lead to personal growth, greater empathy, and a more meaningful outlook on life.
Safe and Responsible Use
While B. Cubensis mushrooms can be profoundly healing, responsible use is essential:

In the growing world of psychedelic therapy and natural healing, few mushroom strains generate as much interest—and respect—as Albino Penis Envy (APE). Known for their intense potency and deeply transformative experiences, APE mushrooms are a rare and powerful variant of the well-known Psilocybe cubensis species.
But what exactly are these unusual mushrooms, and how can they help humans heal emotionally, mentally, and spiritually?
Let’s take a closer look.
What Are Albino Penis Envy Mushrooms?
Albino Penis Envy, often abbreviated as APE, is a hybrid strain derived from the legendary Penis Envy and a leucistic (pigment-reduced) version of Psilocybe cubensis. As the name suggests, these mushrooms are:
Thick, dense, and phallic in shape (like Penis Envy)
Pale or white in color due to their leucistic nature
Among the strongest and most visually intense psychedelic mushrooms available
They contain very high concentrations of psilocybin and psilocin, the compounds responsible for the psychoactive effects of magic mushrooms.
In simple terms: APE mushrooms aren’t for beginners—but in the right setting, they can be profoundly healing.
How Albino Penis Envy Mushrooms May Help Humans
1. Powerful Mental Health Benefits
Like other psilocybin mushrooms, APEs may support the treatment of:
Depression, including treatment-resistant cases
Anxiety, especially existential or end-of-life anxiety
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Addiction and substance misuse
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Studies on psilocybin show that a single psychedelic experience, especially when guided or supported therapeutically, can produce long-lasting improvements in mood, emotional regulation, and outlook on life.
Given the high potency of APE mushrooms, users often describe even a single journey as life-changing.
2. Deep Emotional Healing and Insight
APE mushrooms are known for producing deeply introspective and emotionally intense experiences. Many people report:
Confronting unresolved trauma
Releasing grief, shame, or fear
Gaining insight into personal behaviors or relationships
Experiencing emotional breakthroughs that talk therapy couldn’t reach
These experiences, while sometimes challenging, often lead to catharsis, self-compassion, and a clearer sense of identity or purpose.
3. Ego Dissolution and Spiritual Awakening
At higher doses, APE mushrooms are particularly likely to induce ego death—a temporary breakdown of the self-image or sense of separation. This can lead to:
A feeling of unity with nature or the universe
A sense of timelessness or divine presence
Insights into the nature of consciousness or existence
Reduced fear of death or insignificance
While these effects may sound abstract, many people emerge from these journeys with profound inner peace, greater empathy, and long-lasting spiritual growth.
4. Enhanced Neuroplasticity and Brain Connectivity
Psilocybin has been shown to boost neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself. This makes it a powerful tool for:
Breaking out of negative thought loops
Learning new ways to cope with emotions
Creating healthier mental and behavioral patterns
APE mushrooms, due to their high psilocybin content, may amplify this effect, helping users “rewire” deeply ingrained beliefs and habits that contribute to suffering.
A Word of Caution
Due to their intensity, Albino Penis Envy mushrooms should be approached with caution and respect. They are not ideal for first-time users or recreational settings. Important things to consider include:
Start low: Even a small dose can be overwhelming for some people.
Set and setting matter: Use in a calm, safe, and supportive environment.
Mental readiness: Individuals with a history of psychosis or severe mental health issues should consult professionals before using psychedelics.
Legal status: Psilocybin mushrooms are still illegal in many parts of the world. Always follow your local laws.

Psychedelic mushrooms have been used by humans for thousands of years for healing, spiritual growth, and deep self-exploration. While there are many strains of Psilocybe cubensis—the most commonly cultivated psychedelic mushroom—few are as visually striking or mentally impactful as Albino A+, also known simply as Albino A.
These ghostly white mushrooms are more than just a visual oddity—they may offer powerful therapeutic and psychological benefits that modern science is only beginning to understand.
What Are Albino A+ Magic Mushrooms?
Albino A+ is a rare and potent strain of Psilocybe cubensis, genetically altered to lack pigment. While often called “albino,” they are technically leucistic, meaning they have reduced pigmentation rather than a total absence of it. They are known for their:
Pale white color
Thick stems and small, rounded caps
High potency and strong visual effects
Compared to other strains, Albino A+ is celebrated for producing a clean, introspective, and often spiritual experience, making it a favorite among experienced users and psychedelic explorers.
How Albino A+ Mushrooms May Help Humans
While the strain is unique in appearance, the active compound in Albino A+—psilocybin—is what offers most of the therapeutic potential. Here's how Albino A+ can support human health and healing
1. Mental Health Benefits
Modern research shows that psilocybin, the key psychoactive ingredient in Albino A+, can be effective in treating:
Depression, especially treatment-resistant forms
Anxiety, including social and existential anxiety
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Addiction, including alcohol and nicotine dependence
Psilocybin works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, which plays a role in mood, cognition, and perception. Albino A+ mushrooms deliver this compound in a potent and sometimes profound way, offering a deep emotional “reset” or breakthrough for some users.
2. Ego Dissolution and Perspective Shifts
Albino A+ mushrooms are known for their strong psychoactive effects, which can include ego dissolution—a temporary loss of the sense of individual identity. While this may sound intense, it can lead to:
A reduction in rigid, negative thought patterns
A sense of unity with others or the universe
Increased compassion and empathy
Reduced fear of death or existential anxiety
These experiences often lead to lasting changes in attitude, behavior, and emotional resilience.
3. Neuroplasticity and Brain Healing
Studies suggest that psilocybin promotes neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new neural connections. This may support:
Learning new habits
Breaking old, destructive thought cycles
Greater emotional flexibility
Faster recovery from trauma or chronic stress
Albino A+ mushrooms may offer a more intense version of these benefits due to their high potency and unique experiential “clarity.”
4. Spiritual Exploration and Mindfulness
For many, Albino A+ offers more than just a psychedelic trip—it becomes a spiritual or mystical experience. Users often report:
A heightened sense of presence and awareness
Insights into life purpose or meaning
Reconnection with nature, loved ones, or forgotten memories
This sense of awe or reverence can foster long-term well-being, mindfulness, and life satisfaction.
Important Considerations
While Albino A+ magic mushrooms show great promise, they are not a cure-all. Here are some important guidelines:
Set and setting matter: A safe, comfortable environment and positive mindset can greatly influence the experience.
Start low, go slow: Due to their potency, a small dose can go a long way.
Not for everyone: Those with a history of psychosis or bipolar disorder should avoid psychedelics unless under clinical supervision.
Legal status: Psilocybin mushrooms are still illegal in many parts of the world. Always follow local laws.
Conclusion: A Beautiful Path to Inner Healing
Albino A+ mushrooms are more than just a visually fascinating strain—they represent the potential of nature and neuroscience to come together in the pursuit of healing. As interest in psychedelic therapy grows, strains like Albino A+ remind us that each variation can offer its own unique insights, emotional breakthroughs, and spiritual clarity.
Used respectfully and intentionally, Albino A+ magic mushrooms may be a powerful ally in the journey toward mental wellness, self-discovery, and personal transformation.
