Two new studies estimate psychedelic use in the U.S. and both find magic mushrooms gaining in popularity, including some folks who just want to get a little bit high, aka microdosing.
They are awesome, non-addictive and physiologically safe.
Make sure you’re in a safe, comfortable place, and if you’re doing them with other people, make sure you trust those people, but otherwise have a blast.
Magic mushrooms are the “drug” I really do think everybody should try.
I took mushrooms, high dose and micro, while on SSRI’s. There’s the smallest, most miniscule chance of seretonin syndrome. But 9999 times out of 10000 you’ll be fine.
Drug is a word with a lot of double speak/propaganda around it. Like, the war on drugs. The meaning of the word drug in that sentence is to be drugged, as in like alcohol drugs you, heroin drugs you, and if we call mushrooms and LSD drugs we are saying that they do what alcohol and heroin do, which is take you away from yourself.
Drugs can also mean medicine. But that’s not what the Nixon administration meant by the word drug when they passed the controlled substances act.
I have easy access to them but even so the first time I had mushrooms when I was 12 wasn’t cool and I may have some unexpected trauma from that experience.
Also, people should start with small doses and work their way up.
In fact, there’s a lot of research and care people should do beforehand. Mushrooms can be a wonderful experience, but can also be a traumatic one. Learning about them ahead of time goes a long way.
Do it.

It’s not safe for people in maoi inhibitors and a few other drugs. This includes certain antidepressants which are quite common.
Yup… absolutely do not take them if you have had SSRIs in your system within the past 60 days.

Psilocybin is physiologically safe for people.
As with water, psilocybin can be dangerous to mix with toxic chemicals.
Why did you put “drug” in quotes?
Because everything is a drug and magic mushrooms themselves aren’t the drug in question, psilocybin is.
Also, calling caffeine, heroin and mushrooms a “drug” belies a problem with labeling.
Magic mushrooms, incidentally, being the least toxic of those substances.

What is a “drug” and what isn’t is an arbitrary, made-up distinction. There are only molecules.

Unwritten rule that I guess we should write: no drugs for children.
They don’t need their minds expanded, their tiny minds are still sealing themselves together.
Yeah. Tell that to Australian tourists.
Is that a reference?

Sure, learn to chew your food or it’ll go down the wrong pipe.
