What are your thoughts about psilocybin mushrooms ? Have you ever tried them ?

What did you think about them ? Did you have a good or bad experience with them ?

A lot of research is currently been done on how they can help treat migraine headaches, depression and even alcohol addiction.

Science News

In my college days, I spent many early mornings with friends walking through cow pastures to find them. Later on, actually grew them using spore syringes (which are legal to buy, except CA and GA)

Haven't done them in years, but am glad I did...they seem to open up another part of the brain, and made me realize how amazing the brain is, and how little of it we actually utilize in our day to day world.

And no, I'm not on them now.

There’s a show on Hulu called Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia that had an interesting episode on them.


Also some fascinating documentaries. Fungus is really cool to learn about. I think the doc was “The Magic of Mushrooms”

There was a period in time in which I microdosed about .25-.5 grams of mushroom honey every morning. Really gives you a great mood boost, visual acuity, and a creative mindset.

In general, if you're going to trip, I think it should be for a specific purpose rather than recreationally (though I have certainly been guilty of that numerous times).

I think they are potentially dangerous. Had a friend drink the tea and 30 minutes later it took three of us to hold him back from running into the road. He was convinced that he could stop a car with his mind.

Wonderful.

More fun and less damaging than alcohol, that's for damn sure.

Your friend is a dipshit, mushrooms won’t make you do anything remotely close to that.

I think it’s really awesome all the recent talk of the benefits of psychedelics in general, and I’m very interested in what may transpire over the next 30 years.

Mushrooms in general are awesome, I have been adding cordyceps and lions mane mushrooms to my coffee grounds for about 6 months now to give me extra energy and focus to start the day.

Lairds performance mushrooms is where I started, but buy at bulksupplements.com now and mix them myself.

LSD is better, with less puking and diarrhea.

I've eaten mushrooms hundreds of times and have never experienced either.

Mushrooms also have a much shorter trip life and an easier comedown. Coming back from a 14 hour dose trip is brutal.

Never had that issue, but with LSD, it was always a lot more speedy, chemical type feeling, than psilocybin.

Agree that 14 hours is crazy. I get anxiety just when my insomnia keeps me up too late. 14 hours of anything is just.. so much. I’m surprised by the folks who are able to make it a regular thing.

You can mitigate some of it with benzos and 5-HTP, but it still isn't fun.

I remember my first acid hangover. I had just graduated HS and took it with a bunch of friends on a weekend night. Managed to get back home around 5 or 6 in the morning. My mother woke my arse up at 9 to mow 3 acres of lawn. Absolutely terrible
