Scientists are learning more about how psychedelic mushrooms may alter the brain, potentially leading to long-lasting reversals of depression, anxiety, cluster headaches and more.
Nah. I’ve tripped hundreds of times and that time was just 1.5g of some particularly strong ones. Had a very very bad experience that literally left me with PTSD. I’m def more sensitive than most people to them but I’ve done as much as 20g without the effects the last trip gave me. It’s all about where you’re at in your head at the time and I made a poor decision which has a lifelong effect. I’ll never ever touch shrooms or even weed again. Ever. Last time I smoked weed after that trip (daily smoke for 20 years) I almost went to the hospital before my wife settled me down. I thought I was having a heart attack but of course it was just a panic attack.
Shrooms are very powerful and have the ability to cause complete paradigm shifts in us permanently.
Yeah, this right here is why shrooms scare the crap out of me. I’m intrigued by the positive benefits people claim they have, but the potential to leave deep mental scars if the trip goes ‘wrong’ is a risk I’m unwilling to take.
You generally want to start at a low dose (something like 250mg of dried mushrooms) and work your way up. Combined with a familiar environment, they can be wonderful. Just be patient rather than jumping in all at once.
Please don’t base your decisions on anecdote. What you’ve read here is not a typical experience. You don’t avoid driving just because millions die in traffic accidents, do you?

Reading that response, I get the impression that they did what leads to overdoses in heroin: went without for a while and tried to do their old dose.
