    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.

      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.

        I admitted to my primary doctor that I used MDMA, acid, mushrooms, and ketamine within the past 3 months. He didn’t even bat an eye, he was concerned of my drinking habits instead.

        It’s just straight up illegal for medical professionals to report drug use in Canada. The government doesn’t want people to die because they were afraid to go to the hospital

      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.

        They just amplify what you’re feeling. Not in a good headspace? Stay away. Wanna confront that headspace? Buckle up and GL.

          Also I’ve found while you can’t always directly control it the trip tends to follow your attention. At least in those stages where there still is a “you”.

        Bad trips do happen. But huge breakthroughs are possible, as well. Go in not seeking anything specific and just see how it plays out.

          I will say this though, if you feel a bad trip coming, you have to surrender to it. Surrender to the fact that you are tripping balls, and that it’s is a finite experience, and that you’ll be ok. You won’t get in trouble, you won’t become crazy, and if you do? Fuck it we ball.
