      Mushrooms unlocked my anxiety disorder and ruined my early 20s. But yeah, lots of people report positive results.

        Yeah, my biggest takeaway from my psychedelic days is that I’m probably not mentally stable enough to take them. I’d maybe consider them again in the context of psychedelic assisted therapy, but these days I don’t go any harder than weed and coffee

      That was my immediate thought too. They’ve helped me get through so much shit, as well as if things are going well already just being a bonus positive experience for me. One of my exes used them to successfully start recovery from a bunch of childhood trauma (still needed therapy and all that but the mushies got them to a place they were able to start the full journey). They really are like magic

        For me it was a festival with abundance of extacy. I realized that the loop of being kind and positive feeds back into my own feel-good systems very directly. I mean I knew it before, but it became so clear that it helped me become a better person.

        Also acid taught me not to value shallow things so much.

          Did not. I realized that I can be much more energetic than I am. It became clear that this state is reachable without drugs too. Was eye opening to me and kinda helped me not to dive deep into a rabbit hole of another depressive episode.

          I will never take coke again. Unless it is with Johnny Depp of course
