From the episode: Kevin Rose — the Man Who’s Seen It All

Answer

Kevin once tried 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms with the professional help of a therapist in order to further his understanding of himself and his psyche. It has been described as 5 years of therapy in 5 hours and has helped cancer patients come to terms with their mortality. Kevin describes the experience as incredibly eye-opening and entirely unique, but also acknowledges the insanity of taking “magic mushrooms” as a form of therapy.
