If smoking weed affects memory loss then what does smoking weed do?

Drugs kick in when they hear you talking shit about them

I know of this Italian dude who would eat them often. He would grow to nearly twice his size. Gained an unbelievable ability to jump.

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

One time I was tripping hard with my 3 roommates in college. We were tripping so hard none of us felt comfortable even speaking. We just laid around in the living room remaining silent. We were a good 5 hours into this trip of silence when all of the sudden I looked over and seen a green troll run across the room. I remained silent, but looked back at my roommates. Suddenly the silence was broken when my one roommate looked at me and said, “I saw the green fucker too”

"I read in literature almost no one had eaten them... so i made an omelet." wtf haha

[dickrichard]

Every trip story I’ve ever heard involves them only going into the void after saying something like “huh I’m not high yet” somehow that’s the password to trip city

I suffered severe depression 18 years ago as a teenage, got addicted to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I was actually diagnosed with cptsd and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

“You eat it and it makes you feel like a giant” You can’t convince me the Super Mario creators weren’t high as shit on Amanita

[waarschuwng]

He totally seems like an advanced mushroom disguised as a human

Eats the mushroom: does a push-up, does another, and another, and another. Best muscle building strategy known to man

I’ve taken mushrooms a lot and had some crazy trips, but the one that stands out the most isn’t even that crazy to tell, but it changed my life forever.
I was 20 and hanging around with the wrong crowd. I was always doing stupid things and occasionally getting into trouble with the law. I was suicidal and confused with life.
On a beautiful winters day here in New Zealand, I took a relatively small amount of Psilocybe Subaeruginosa by myself and sat at the top of a massive valley overlooking a river, trees and a couple of distant houses with smoke drifting up through their chimneys. It was the perfect setting. As I began to trip, I became overwhelmed with the silent sound of nature. The cold air in my lungs. I was immersed in the moment to the point I became emotional and extremely grateful for my finite existence. Things began to make sense. I realised for the first time in my life that I wasn’t just this confused thing living in the universe, but that I WAS the universe. I realised that I was just as much a part of the cosmos as the valley I looked over. I belonged there.
It’s crazy that I only took the mushrooms to get f**ked up, I wasn’t expecting a revelation.
I sat there for hours, watching birds fly below and above me, taking in all the colours, sounds and smells as the sun dropped behind the mountains and the sky changed in cinematic fashion. From that day on I found a new love for life and a deep, unbroken connection to nature. I breathe in differently now when I’m outdoors. I see nature as conscious and something worth protecting.
How they can make psilocybin mushrooms illegal I don’t understand. I know many lost people that need to experience what I have. It could save their lives.
I’m grateful for people like Paul Stamets and Dr Roland Griffiths.
I hope whoever is reading this is doing ok. Peace and love.

Edit: I just lost one of my best friends to suicide. He was such a confident person. Always full of life and by far the most charismatic person in any room. His death has sent shockwaves through our group. He never took psychedelics. Not once. In the past few years of his life, we drifted. He was in the UK and I was in NZ. I’m not here to say that psychedelics would have saved him, but I won’t pretend that they wouldn’t have potentially had an impact on his outlook of life. I’m burdened with the notion of “what if”.
We have to progress in our society and bring psilocybin into the mainstream. It needs to at least be an option for people. Rest In Peace, Luke.
Take care people x

I've always said that psychedelics generally work like an onion when you use them in a proper way. You work yourself through the layers of the onion and once you have finished up a layer you go a layer deeper, tackling deeper topics and deeper fears. If you overdose, you forcefully rip open deeper layers that you aren't ready for, being totally overwhelmed by what erupts.

Step 1: I eat mushrooms
Step 2: I don't feel anything
Step 3: I think I feel something
Step 4: I've entered another dimension

[belowme]

All mushrooms are edible, just some only once.

[sammyjones]

I’ve been addicted to heroin for 11 years, but after trying out psilocybin treatment I will be 2 years clean.
