Before anyone rushes to do this: Cultivating these mushrooms is not legal, even if buying the spores might be.
Likewise, self-medicating severe depression with hone grown psychedelics is not a great idea. These studies use controlled administration in supervised environments often with therapy as part of the process. You cannot replicate that at home. Psychedelics also can’t be dosed continuously like traditional antidepressants, making them a poor choice for continued treatment.
