Yeah, inner work was my intention last time I tripped, but instead I ended up vegging out and getting annoyed at my trip mates. It was a waste of time and materials.

I don't know if there will be a next time to try to do better.

For anyone who's struggling, I just want you to know that I basically permanently cured my depression, the semi-powerful mushroom trip. During the trip essentially took a side step left in my brain that didn't fix my problems but fixed the way that I perceived them and how I tackle them. It has since been about 4 years since that trip and the effect s on my attitude and personality have been long lasting. I will say as a word of caution that my attachment to traditional capitalism and some other more normal things in life has definitely waned but I still make my payments and stuff without incident but I just care less. This shit should not be illegal especially compared to alcohol and cigarettes.

Ingesting this substance can lead to deep thinking about the morality of our economic, political, and social systems, as you noted. That is exactly why they are illegal.

They help massively with my depression too, although I feel I need to take them 2-4 times each year to keep the effect. If anyone is considering taking them for their mental health, the most important things to do are take them in a place you feel safe, with a person or people you trust. I recommend stopping all mental health medication for three days before you take them. If you cannot handle going without medication for three days you probably shouldn't take mushrooms.

I also recommend taking an eighth of a dry ounce. You can increase the dose next time. Anything less is essentially microdosing, unless you weigh 100 pounds or something.

Oh and you develop near immediate immunity to the mental effects of psilocybin. Don't think you can eat half now then eat half later. The second half won't work. In fact you'll be highly resistant to them for a couple of weeks at least. This is a blessing because you can't get addicted!

I would say take 2 grams roughly

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Note that mushrooms or other drugs acting on the serotonin system like LSD, DMT or MDMA must absolutely not be taken while also taking SSRIs or MAOs. It risks inducing a Serotonine Syndrom, which can easily be fatal.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

This is important to note although I think it's extremely rare with LSD, DMT, or Psilocybin. More common with MDMA.

So yeah just another reason to quit taking your mental health medication three days before. I do not recommend taking them if you are on an SSRI or MAOI, just as this person pointed out.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Yeah. Psychedelics aren't the work, but they may very well change how the work goes.

But try reading about your issues and how to resolve them first. Acid pointed a mirror at my face and told me how I was fucking up, but understanding psychological concepts told me how to do better.

For me my bad trip basically gave me ptsd ten years ago. I was prone to getting panic attacks though.

Recommending an unsupervised mushroom trip to cure depression to random people is just reckless.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Except nobody said unsupervised. I was supervised by a sober friend and a couple other trippers but I was pretty much in control the whole time.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

People get drunk all the time and they're way more likely to be victimized or hurt.

I usually have a strong trip about once a year. It's definitely not for everyone though. For me, it ablates habitual mental patterns and understandings. Almost everything turns symbolic that is thrust from the subconscious whether I'm ready for it or not. It's something that everyone should have access to if you're willing to open up to yourself.

sadly my friend, within your comment is the reason why it's illegal - if people universally cared less about money, there wouldn't be enough people to steal labour from :(

well, it started with the fact they had to arrest the hippies for something, god forbid people care enough about the lives of brown foreigners strongly enough to protest their country killing them. looks bad to arrest those wanting peace so, arrest them for having a drug that makes them more compassionate!

certified "have you tried working on your inner self" moment.

Explanation: sometimes, mental health problems don't only come from internal misfits, but simply from enormous pressure from the environment. (such as in my case.) it's important to take care of externalities, not just seek the problem within yourself.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This post is making fun of people who think they're fixing their life by having "epiphanies" after taking magic mushrooms multiple times a week and then not doing anything about those epiphanies when they're sober.

Source: I used to do that

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

You’ll see it in trust fund kids back from festivals. They learn that other humans have feelings, which is really mind blowing, but as far as changing behavior in any way…

I thought I could just bury my problems under a truckload of christmas cookies.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's precisely what those outings are for...

I've also heard it called a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Similar to the gin and tonic notion:

It is a curious fact, and one to which no-one knows quite how much importance to attach, that something like 85 percent of all known worlds in the Galaxy, be they primitive or highly advanced, have invented a drink called jynnan tonyx, or gee-N'N-T'N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand variations on this phonetic theme. The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary between the Sivolvian 'chinanto/mnigs' which is ordinary water served just above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan 'tzjin-anthony-ks' which kills cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the only one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that their names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named before the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds.
