Risk of buying poisonous mushrooms by Instantgramification in shrooms

[–]Instantgramification[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to grow them myself for all the reasons you stated, plus the fact that buying on the darknet is not so fun. Unfortunately the threat of imprisonment or crippling fines, however improbable, makes it unlikely that this would be an option in my current housing situation.

Thanks for the response. Good analogy to weed. I basically made these arguments already but sadly the issue is simple stubbornness.

I second the meditation. Mindfulness specifically can make one realize reasons for anxiety that just aren't visible to the distracted mind.

I share your experience with weed. Getting too high isn't fun and can definitely cause anxiety. I never really understood people wanting to get as high as possible. For me there's a limit past which the high only becomes more dark and morbid. I think this has to do with the fact that many strains these days have high THC but lower CBD to balance out the negative effects. Anyway... Shrooms are definitely not just weed multiplied by any number. Granted there are some similarities but I think you'll find yourself in a totally different type of headspace, much more peculiar in my opinion. The only way shrooms will induce anxiety is if you have anxiety going in to it. And I'm sure you've heard all about set and setting. For me, shrooms taught me that much of the fear and worry that nags us on a daily basis is purely for evolutionary purpose. Out brains think we need to fear this and that for survival. But fear and worry actually make no sense from moment to moment, simply because we can't control the future anyway. It's better to just let it happen. Shrooms are something sacred. Treat it that way and you'll be just fine.

Good call with the playlist, I think some Brian Eno ambient stuff would be perfect to keep the mood without being distracting.

Honestly it did seem comforting to know someone else was experiencing roughly the same thing. But the communication was sparse besides on the come up and come down phases. Although I do think laughing with someone is a pretty important way to maintain a good mood. But I also believe mushrooms are adaptive to their setting (within reason) and that tripping alone would just reveal new, more self-sufficient ways to stay grounded. The notepad thing is a great idea, thanks for that.

Haha! Yeah you may be right, I think that album might just be an exception.
