AKA please, don’t tell me “get professional help”. Poor people can’t afford it anyways.

    Shrooms are definitely dangerous, especially for people who are prone to schizophrenia I’ve read.

    Personally, they made me realize my mind is capable of being content. No longer full blast, spinning plates all of the time.

    That experience made me realise change is possible, and I got professional help a year later. Turns out I’ve been living in C-PTSD since I was 5.

      Schizophrenia is the only reason not to take psychedelics. Your first sentence could easily be misinterpreted as a lie that tries to falsely apply that danger to other areas.

      All the usual “be safe, feel safe” advice applies no matter what!

      I’d argue that shrooms themselves aren’t a huge deal, but pre-existing conditions for sure have accounted for (if you are schizophrenic or have bipolar disorder, please be careful/don’t take them), correct dosages for different strains should be taken, and you should do them in a safe environment. Shrooms themselves can’t directly kill you, unlike some stronger psychodelics (lsd, research chems, etc) which is why I generally recommend them (and not mushroom chocolate bars, which are usually research chems even if they say otherwise).

      Either way, glad to hear that you seemed to get the benefit of change!
