Mushrooms may help

• throwaway_weed 5y ago
  I'm meh on mushrooms, and most psychedelics. My relatively few experiences with them were neither enjoyable nor productive, in terms of personal insights. I contrast that with MDMA which I've used even less but found far more therapeutic and transformative. Mushrooms give me high anxiety, especially now in mid-life, perhaps because the people I've known who evangelized them most passionately (some quite brilliant) have for the most part not aged well in ways that I see as deeply linked with their drug use. It's just my personal experience, I don't think they're wrong for everyone and can see many comments on HN and elsewhere testifying to their efficacy but for me it's not a good option. Thank you
