I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

    LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

    People might try to self-medicate? That's been part of the culture for as long as I can remember, with plenty of good information for responsible people - including clinicians - to follow protocol. Of course, clinicians face severe consequences if things go wrong, but while uncomfortable side effects are common, severe and lasting ones are not. It's data that is very hard to incorporate in a full appreciation of psychedelic medicine, but it is huge and significant.

    SUMMARY: 🍄 Magic mushrooms have been used in spiritual contexts for thousands of years. The active compound psilocybin binds to serotonin receptors and causes powerful effects. 🌌 Psilocybin increases connections between neurons - 10% more connections and 10% larger. This may help treat depression which is linked to neuronal atrophy. 📈 In studies, a single dose of psilocybin led to a large decrease in depression scores compared to therapy alone. 60-70% of treatment resistant patients saw substantial, ongoing relief. 🤔 Hallucinations may be important for therapeutic benefits, so 'tripless' psychedelics may not work as well. Psilocybin shows months of benefit after one dose, unlike daily antidepressants. 😵 There are side effects like anxiety and paranoia. Set and setting are very important - patients need supervision from a psychologist. Treatments are currently very expensive. 🎓 More research is needed, but it is promising for certain patients. Australia recently approved psychedelics as medicine, so more access will enable larger studies. 🧠💊

    I had many experiences with mushrooms as a younger man but since I've started microdosing they've really turned my life around. Just taking a small amount every day (I grind mine up and put them in capsules for easier use) has eliminated the worst of my depressive and suicidal thoughts. I still have moments of anxiety and depression but they are much rarer and much less debilitating than they were previously.

    Early 20s college tried shrooms. Never had an hallucination. Not really. Colors seemed brighter, jokes seemed funnier, music seemed more intense. Guess that sort hallucinating. Only tried it once. LSD on the other hand, that I didn't experiment rather someone slipped a tab in to my drink. I was hallucinating all night. In my hallucination I partied the whole night, dancing and socializing. The next day my friends said I never left my chair and was spaced out the whole night. Then the guy who slip me the LSD told me what he did, I punched in face for doing it. At least he said he deserved it.

Its not all rosy, and some people should not use it (schizophrenics or people who have had psychotic breakdowns). But used with care, can have tremendous benefits.

    from my personal experience "bad trips" tend to happen very similarly to an anxiety attack. in which you're thinking about something negative and this spirals out of control. Much like an anxiety attack you can be talked out from the "bad trip" most of the time you're convincing yourself that the bad things are there. Whilst on LSD you can be very easily persuaded to think more positively. I have experienced it and i have been around others that have been through a bad trip, with another person to talk to and to calm down the person, much like with an anxiety attack, the "bad trip" goes away rather quickly. I am fairly certain within medicine there are qualified psychotherapist on hand to talk them through the trip and to help them.
