I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking mushrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone, lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

Psychedelics are a beautiful thing and they should definitely be funding for more research

You guys and gals on the west coast are so lucky to have psychedelic therapy. I'm stuck in the midwest and a conservative area. We did manage to get medical and recently recreational cannabis so maybe there's hope for entheogen therapy. 🙏

There’s a lot of potential in psychedelics, I can’t wait to try any of them mushrooms specifically but it’s just so hard to find a reliable source over here, I’ll be glad if anyone can be of help..

Has anyone taken 2 different hallucinogens at the same time?

[sabrenacochran]

Mushrooms have helped me beat my addiction with heroin, my ptsd, anxiety and depression have never been better! I’m so happy that this is finally becoming a thing and becoming less taboo.

[signifiature]

The root of the problem is not in individuals. It’s in our culture and our society. Blaming the individual during a mental health crisis is bananas.

Jill Biden platform is shrooms? Hehe groooovy baby 😝

[NunoRufas]

Great insightful words about the way psychedelics can help treat human broken minds or traumatic experiences. It's a shame the video hasn't reached an wider audience.

I saw also much misogamy growing up more so than of late... well I know too many guys that are so off, but they have been programmed! IU really wish we all could use this to get beyond! TOTALLY I LOVE THAT!

It is so weird how they are making it so political.
