    I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 4 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

    Took 12 when it said 2. I bet if I eat a whole cup of salt I 'd die too.

    How clueless is this? He took ten times the amount prescribed and we're suppose to be surprised for him? 😔😔😔

    This young man had a drug cocktail in his system and they just decide to pick 1 out of the many to blame for his passing? NoW that's just crazy

    How did this kid have time to care for the homeless with all these drugs in him? It's crazy how we the miserable become the little angels that loved everyone when we're gone.

    He had other CNS depressants in his system. Common sense says this is not a good combination.

    So someone misused a drug and the drug is bad. Anything can be abused what next Ibuprofen,Nyquil.

    The people asking "Why would they allow this for sale in a gas station!?" apparently have not noticed that cigarettes, the most hideous drug and addiction on the planet, are sold on every street corner.

    The problem is: people are obsessed with feeling good when they should be trying to solve their personal problems

    Sounds like misuse is more of the issue than the drug itself.

    @aphysique
