    Fuck. Yeah.

    There are a fuck ton of people in this world that could benefit from full-on ego dissolution. If there is one thing that psychedelics are good at, it’s at showing people how fragile their perceived reality actually is.

    Also, there are few people in this world that take an extreme excess of psychedelics and say, “Damn! Let’s do that again tomorrow!”.

      I agree, unless you are already somehow severely unstable, a moment of ego death would probably improve your mental health a lot. I experienced it around a decade ago and I will never ever forget. Might order some spores again, just to see how the me of today would react!

        At my age (mid 40s), it’s the perfect drug it seems. I can’t really drink any more and other drugs are just too rough on my body these days. Psilocybin is not too strong and I don’t need anything else more intense.

        Growing all type of mushrooms has kind of turned into a nice relaxing hobby as well, so there is that.
