Bryan Johnson, 48, who claims to be biologically over ten years younger than his age, has openly supported psychedelics for their mind-enhancing effects. Recently, the biohacker documented a live experience of taking magic mushrooms on social media.

Details of the Psychedelic Experience

For his latest experiment in longevity, Johnson consumed 4.67 grams of dried magic mushrooms containing 24.9 mg of psilocybin. His trip was captured and shared across his social media platforms.

Early Stage

Photos show Johnson lying on the floor with an eye mask and blanket, appearing calm and content. After rising to use the bathroom, he spent ten minutes staring at a glass of water, wondering aloud, "What does it mean?"

Later Stage

Once the hallucinogenic effects began to fade, Johnson appeared euphoric while eating a salad, which he called the "best salad" he's ever had. His business partner, Kate Tolo, noted on his X account that he

“intentionally selected a mushroom for his first bite and then he thanked it,”

reflecting his heightened state.

Aftereffects

When fully sober, Johnson described the experience as rejuvenating:

“It made me feel like a kid [again], finding and exploring a new playground,”

with all his senses intensively heightened.
