I've consumed magic mushrooms about 5-6 times now, and I'm a huge fan. Always had a very nice experience which felt like it really helped me to become a better person. Problems suddenly don't appear so big, or rather, obvious solutions come to mind. And you really seem to understand your relationships to other people, what your role is, who you are, why you are the way you are etc.
You have to respect them, of course. Always took them at home in a calm, safe enviroment. Would never consume shrooms to go to a club etc. Never took them multiple times during a short time, always leave a couple of months between trips.
I've had one bad-ish experience - Felt a bit sad and still consumed them. The whole trip was then spent exploring this sad feeling and thinking about some trauma. During the trip it wasn't that comfortable, of course. But afterwards, I really felt like it helped me process these valid feelings. So in the end, it was still a net positive.
The interesting thing about shrooms to me is that I'm always aware that they're the reason I'm tripping. Yeah, the fibers on my couch seem to be alive and everything looks and feels weird, but I never lost my sense of reality. Even though you do heavily question reality. Alcohol is waaay worse in that regard(blackouts, wild behaviour etc.)
I don't know...I'm really a huge fan of them. Not surprised that Psychologists are looking into using them for therapy. I also think that shrooms made me even more open-minded than before and gave me some sort of calmness. I did have some out of body and very spiritual experiences, but they were always enjoyable and enriching.
Definitely shaped my world-view in a dramatic way.
YMMW, of course.

Alcohol is waaay worse in that regard (blackouts, wild behaviour etc.) Just in case anyone gets the wrong idea from the above: As with anything, including alcohol, the dose makes the poison. It's possible to go similarly far with psilocybin. Examples that I've witnessed: standing in the shower screaming, mistreatment of police, etc.
- 4ggr0 3y agoYeah, that's true, my bad. I never took a huge dose, but still enough for strong visuals etc. And my doses were still so large that I was eating them for 10-15 minutes, and they're actually disgusting to eat. But in my opinion the fear mongering around shrooms is waaay bigger than the actual risks. Some people seem to be believe that taking shrooms somehow frequentely leads to people jumping out of windows etc.
