Robert Gallery played 8 seasons in NFL. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. Dark thoughts. Constant ringing. The same symptoms that killed Junior Seau and Aaron Hernandez. One thought played in his head on repeat: "𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘪-𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘬." In 2021, he couldn't take it anymore. So he got on a plane to Mexico. To try something radical: 𝗜𝗯𝗼𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲. The last option he had left. 36 hours later... The constant noise? Gone. The dark thoughts? Silent. "It saved my life," he said. "I'm not anxious all the time. I can go for a run and be thankful that I'm alive." He co-founded Athletes for Care to help other brain-injured athletes find help. Eight seasons of football nearly killed him. One trip to Mexico gave him his life back.

On this day in 1943, the creator of LSD, Albert Hofmann, did something wild: Ran the first human test. 𝗢𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. 3 days earlier, he'd accidentally absorbed some through his skin working in the lab. Felt great, felt interesting, so he decided: let's try this properly with a 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘴𝘦... 250μg (at 4:20 pm) Shortly after taking it, things got weird: He couldn't write anymore. Vision going sideways. Time felt strange. He asked his assistant: "Take me home." But this was 1943. Middle of WWII. No cars allowed on the roads. So they grabbed bicycles. Hofmann pedaling through Basel, Switzerland, experiencing something no human had ever felt before. But in that moment... 𝗛𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗲'𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Something amazing. Something that would change the world forever. By the next morning? He woke up feeling incredible. Like seeing the world for the first time. And the rest...Woodstock, Rock & Roll, and the swinging 60s...was history. Happy Bicycle Day, everyone!

𝗝𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗵𝘂𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀. Deep in the Amazon, the apex predator of the rainforest chews Banisteriopsis caapi — the vine used to make ayahuasca. Then it rolls onto its back. Bats at invisible things in the air. And stares at the sky, pupils dilating. Indigenous shamans say they learned to use the vine by watching jaguars. Hunters would take it to “become jaguar.” The animals taught us how to trip.
