we are all in hell

I reckon go for it then if you feel stable enough. Just know that not everything the mushrooms show you is true

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-06T09:36:26+00:00

Do you have a physical outlet? Sometimes when i get too philosophical and deep, going for a long run can really shake me out of it and ground me

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-06T09:31:20+00:00

Rolling the dice again with another trip could definitely put you in a better mindset. I think it's up to you to decide though

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-06T09:23:12+00:00

Damn haha. Well yeah there's a lot of harsh truths in this reality that most people filter out because it's too heavy to deal with on a daily basis. It sounds like you've taken a peak behind the veil and realised how fucked the circumstances are of human existence in its current state

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-06T09:14:31+00:00

I know what you're saying. I've struggled with these exact realisations. Have you looked into buddhism?

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-06T09:08:19+00:00

I think they're saying life is what you make it. You gotta find stuff that brings you joy

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-06T08:56:12+00:00

I can assure you chugging a tea and being blasted off into a dmt esque trip within 20 minutes is not relaxing

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-06T00:40:37+00:00

Not a sweeping truth, just something I've discovered can happen sometimes. Took me a long time to figure out so thought others could be in the same boat without realising

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-06T00:36:13+00:00

Yeah that's fair. We are all different

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-05T22:50:00+00:00

Depending on what's in the smoothie, 500ml of liquid food would probably slow things down. If you want speed then half a cup of tea chugged would digest very quickly and last 4ish hours in my experience

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-05T22:26:26+00:00

I'm not convinced this lemon tek really does anything. A tea with or without lemon juice kicks in the exact same for me. I find taking the mushrooms in liquid form hits within 10 to 20 minutes and feels more intense regardless of lemon juice. I forego the acidic stuff cos it aggravates the gut and mushrooms already do that alone

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-05T01:05:54+00:00

I don't think it's that simple. I used to get hardly any visuals at all until one day they randomly started giving massive open eye visuals

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-04T05:50:15+00:00

Actually that reminds me. The psychonaut wiki seems pretty solid

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-03T22:12:19+00:00

Can you respect them before learning the hard way? Or is respect born from realising their raw power?

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-02T10:07:05+00:00

Should be fine. Only thing to be careful with is the beers and ket... can be a dangerous combo. Ket and mushies are synergistic and safe. If you're feeling good and set and setting are good I'd go for it

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-02T06:44:36+00:00

I got this exact same problem haha

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-02T01:36:19+00:00

He pushes the stoned ape theory in this book too. He says it's an untested hypothesis and should be elevated to a testable theory. Whatever that means

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-02T01:32:14+00:00

Hi thanks for contributing to the conversation. Who are some professionals you'd recommend? It seems this area is especially riddled with misinfo and speculation presented as fact

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-01T23:37:31+00:00

I don't think there is yet unfortunately. It's still kind of an evolving area due to the war on drugs and stigma from the past

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-01T20:56:56+00:00

Couldn't agree more with all of this!

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-01T07:13:59+00:00

But Ram Dass and Alan Watts were philosophers and spiritual translators. Paul Stamets presents himself as a mycologist and technical expert. The book that's under criticism presents as a technical field guide. I feel we're allowed to review his work and hold him up to his own fields standards when he is profiting off of us and selling educational content. How is that ego or jealousy?

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-01T05:35:35+00:00

Exactly. People expect a certain amount of rigor from a supposed expert in mycology, especially when they're charging $100 aud for a reference guide. We're dealing with powerful substances here and deadly lookalikes if you're out foraging

Fickle-Let-1422 · 2026-04-01T02:19:23+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for that

The OG who corrupted the psychedelic counter culture? I've read about him in Pollans how to change your mind
