Overview
- Johnson consumed roughly 5.4 grams of mushrooms for a six‑hour broadcast, citing 28 mg of psilocybin, with pre‑ and post‑trip measurements and a Kernel brain‑monitoring helmet.
- Grimes performed a DJ set during the stream, which also featured appearances by Marc Benioff, Naval Ravikant, and David Friedberg.
- The livestream on X drew over a million views in live and replay traffic, according to TechCrunch.
- Psilocybin remains illegal federally and is not legal in California, and reporters could not confirm the session’s location or the source of the mushrooms.
- Johnson linked the trial to early Baylor and Emory research on lifespan in cells and animals, though any human longevity benefit is unproven and independently unverified.
