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.
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.
