Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.

Shrooms have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source out here.

Alot of illegal substances have alot of medical benefits

We have know this for thousands of years. I take them 1x a yr, by my self, campfire & good music. Its cured my anger issues & I'm more compassionate. I'm able to forgive & let things go, everything isn't a battle of black & white? If that makes sense?
DONT START WITH 7g.! I been doing this for 10 + years & take 3.5, then 3- 4hrs later I eat the rest. It's a full12+hr. ride for me.

Last year, I took shrooms thinking it was going to hit like an edible or something. Shit was scary at first but amazing once you start getting deeper into your thoughts

Stuff is better then coffee as a microdose or any over the counter ssri

[adamhoward]

Oh yeah just what I need. Running down the street in my drawers again

[infinitevibes]

What happens after that year tho? When the feeling is gone?

[pooinaloo]

It most definitely does. I microdose for 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. It has changed my life.

The mindfulness workbook "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels really helped.
