So I gave Francis Ford Coppola once for his birthday, some mushrooms while we were doing Dracula. I heard it was his birthday and I happened to have an eighth of some mushrooms, so I gave ’em to him. He took them, he had a very nice birthday. He said he enjoyed them.”

This isn’t anything surprising considering just how chill Keanu Reeves is in real life. Needless to say, Reeves confirmed that he ensured Francis Ford Coppola had a terrific birthday and that’s all that matters to him.

I struggled with depression for so long. And the thing about the plant medicine is it helps you feel better but also solves the problems of how you got there in the first place.

Jada Pinkett Smith is a huge advocate for psychedelics and perhaps psychedelic therapy is the future for the treatment of a lot of mental issues. Regardless, We will have to wait and see what Jada Pinkett Smith ends up doing next.
