This article is definitely worth a read. SSRIs are killing generations of people, or at least making them so numb to the world it’s as if they’ve never lived.

never laughed so hard in my life as when i did those. great times

Nice, so glad there's starting to be studies done on them. They worked for me! I had been depressed for quite a while after a divorce and took a pretty small dose, less than a gram, and it was like a switch - the repetitive, negative thoughts were gone the next day. I felt lighter, like I had a clean slate and a fresh chance to create new patterns.

I’ve heard a lot of great things about microdosing with psilocybin.

I personally haven’t done any mushrooms since my early 20’s almost 15 years ago now, but I wouldn’t be against using them again under the right circumstances.

I just went through a period where I was doing a lot of psychedelics, and mushrooms almost weekly. And I got to a place where I felt like they’d taught me all that they had to teach.

But that was almost 15 years ago. A lot’s happened since then.

Sorta similar to me, it had been maybe 8-12 years since the last time I ate shrooms. I was sorta nervous but it did the trick. Sorta had a purge, I puked a bunch of times, which never happened to me before, especially with such a small dose. I used to eat 4-5 grams pretty regularly when I was younger lol

Same here. And I’ve definitely thrown up. But usually not from regular old Cubensis mushrooms(by far the most common.) Here in Oregon we have a lot of hippies, and Cubensis, Liberty Caps, and Amanita Muscaria all grow plentifully. Then I had some pretty crazy friends growing up that could get crazy mushrooms from Central and South America, as well as Hawaii. I never went down the Amanita hole like some of my friends, but I did try some crazy varieties. In the end, if I ever did them again, I think I’d only be willing to touch Cubes. I’ve had too much weird crap happen on other kinds. Feeling like my liver was dying, purple pee, the list goes on lol...
