    I was telling my therapist that I wanna take shrooms only last evening. I have a bunch. They’re legal here. My partner works on Sunday and I have the place to myself. Hope she doesn’t get divorced. Lol.

      I’m currently growing my first batch, they are unfortunately not legal here 😅 They’re fantastic though. I’ve done shrooms twice in my life now and my depression and social anxiety are all but gone. I’ve got years of therapy under my belt too and without that the effect would surely not have been this noticeable but still. When you take them you never know what will happen. Most likely it will be amazing from start to finish but every now and then shrooms make you confront unpleasant things. Taking them was a way to prove to myself that I’m ready to confront my fears.

      I suggest listening to some Terence Mckenna talks before tripping. Also, surrender to the shroom if needed. It’ll help.

      Wow I would never admit “recreational” drug use of any kind to any medical professional. Many years ago I admitted to smoking marijuana to my doctor and it turned into a major catastrophe. They threatened to report me to law enforcement for using illegal drugs and kept extorting me with bogus bills for months afterwards. I never trusted any medical professional again. Fuck the bible belt.

      It’s not that dark. If mushrooms helped you realize you don’t wanna be married to a person you should divorce them. Why spend time with someone you don’t want to be with?

      There is this belief for some reason that divorce is like the end of the world and a giant nightmare but like, I’ve done it, its not hard stuff and as long as you and your (soon to be) ex-partner aren’t assholes then the hardest thing is gonna be making your schedules line up.

      Like Yeah it’s devastating to lose a built in best friend, but also you gotta live your truth

      Anyways don’t jump on mushroom thoughts immediately, let them settle and ferment for a bit before you follow them.

      Same bro. Idk how much I took the first time but I literally forgot who I was, fell asleep, woke up covered in sweat, and tore my room apart because I was convinced that I was either dead or about to die. Shit scared me into just weed and drinking lol

      What’s a heros dose. I only did small amounts and it was long ago. Much better experience than I expected. Easier to snap out of than anything else. If your high on weed or drink you can’t really snap out. But with a low amount of shrooms I definitely could. Then go right back to wondering why all of the Scooby Doo characters are naturally occuring in the cement walkway while sitting on the stoop

        A heroes dose/heroic dose just refers to doing a very high dosage of a psychedelic substance like shrooms.

        https://healing-mushrooms.net/heroic-dose

        I’ve always heard a good normal dose is an eighth. According to that article linked above, a heroes dose is 5 grams, or an extra 1.5 grams beyond that.

        According to the Psychonautwiki on shrooms (which is fairly reliable in my experience), anything over 50mg of psilocybin is a “heavy” dose. Trouble is, unless you can get your shrooms from a reliable source, guessing the psilocybin content is pretty tricky. The one time I intentionally did a pretty heavy trip on shrooms, it was something like a quarter ounce of dried shrooms, but another time I just had a nibble on one for laughs while drinking with my buddies and it wound up being pretty substantial. If they’re fresh instead of dried or just a different strain or batch, it’s all pretty up in the air, so my advice is to always be ready for a heavy trip unless you’ve already had some experience with that particular batch.

          Yeah just be careful. There are instances of dudes whacking their weeners off with hatchets and one guy repeatedly headbutting his eyeballs onto pencils until he died on heavy psilocybin doses.
