I too am fairly drug-averse. And after 40 years of avoiding all drugs but caffeine and alcohol, I dipped my toe into psilocybin and found not only was it profoundly therapeutic in terms of self-acceptence, self-love, and anxiety-reduction, I found after 3 or 4 uses, I had no further interest in it whatsoever.
Is my experience universal? Of course not, but an anecdote to consider alongside yours.
- renewiltord 3y agoThat’s the funny thing, eh? No real desire to do it. Negative feedback loop. Same here.
- BillyTheMage 3y agoSame experience here. I did psychedelics maybe 10 times and then simply stopped having the desire. I don't have an aversion to it either. Just kind of got what I wanted out of it.
- pengaru 3y agoAnd like caffeine and alcohol, you can make practical use of psychedelic mushrooms in low doses with far less potential of unpredictable/problematic results. The dose makes the poison.
- FranzFerdiNaN 3y agoSame experience with shrooms. I've done it a few times, but every time after doing it any interest in it was gone for years. It's heavy stuff.
- donnythecroc 3y agoSame here. Did it once and it saved my life. Point is it was only legally accessible to rich people. I.e. I had to fly to amsterdam pay for pre and post psychotherapy and multi day care. This is so wildly different to recreational use.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoFor what it’s worth you can find psilocybin in the US with with right network that does not require exorbitant costs or travel.
- achenet 3y agoor grow it yourself even, that's what I did (albeit in France)
- dopidopHN 3y agoHeck, It’s grows in many part of the country!
- Denatonium 3y agoMore like most parts of the country! There's at least one species of psilocybin mushroom for most states. The Shroomery is a great starting resource.
- dopidopHN 3y agoThanks for pointing that out. Yes. This is a abundant resource, people should be aware of that. It’s also colonize various subtrates and thrives.
- cwmoore 3y agoAny potential for incarceration or institutionalization is an exorbitant cost to factor into transacting with the "wrong" network.
- yonaguska 3y agoMost people growing shrooms are not doing it at scale and are generally only selling to friends or acquaintances. For this particular drug- the risk seems pretty low.
