    Nothing fun is good for us. Just use substances in moderation and you’ll most likely be fine

      Psychedelics are fun and also beneficial with appropriate use. I can’t handle weed because of the paranoia, believe it or not. Just like any other substance, they can be abused and overdone.

      I eat shrooms recreationally but have also used them to replace my antidepressants with phenomenal results. It took a ton of experimentation and time, but I have found a balance. Disclaimer: This is a high risk maneuver and could end very badly for some personality types. In some ways, they function exactly like S/SRIs but at a much grander scale. It turns out that psilocin can be more effective than serotonin itself. (Here is a great presentation that has some notes regarding that: https://youtu.be/cxE9qnocJEY?si=69CKRAUJd01cOCPh)

      Unfortunately, some people just can’t handle them. Seeing reality disolve around you can be a disturbing thing to witness if you are not fully prepared for it. However, if a person is able, a few heroic doses and the correct set and setting will produce significant life changes for the better and the effects will last for years.

        Sorry you got downvoted. Mushrooms are incredible medicine. One day they too will be legal just like weed.
