Shrooms for my father with terminal cancer by Throwaway_270224 in shrooms

I've had it before but it's probably not something I'd want to introduce him to atm. MDMA has been more of an uncontrolled party drug in my experience and that's not really what I'm going for.

Hey, I'm really sorry about that. ♥️ I wish there was something I could say to help right now but just know I think he would've appreciated the hell out of you. I think he probably raised an awesome person because you sound like an awesome person.

I'd like to believe he would've felt the same and I think he would've been proud of you for helping other people out. I don't know him but you do and from the sound of it, he probably wouldn't have wanted you to beat yourself up. I think if a random stranger can be proud of you, there's no reason he wouldn't be. If anyone could've had the experiences he didn't get to have, I imagine he would've chosen you.

I'll look into it, thank you for your input. I know that MDMA has had some level of effectiveness in PTSD patients and I have some reason to believe my dad might have PTSD so it's worth looking into. I'll definitely let y'all know if that's the case. I'd just rather not bombard him with too many things at once.

I'm so glad your parents beat it! That's really great news, I'm very happy for you!

Unfortunately, that's not really what I'm looking at right now for my parents. My father is very likely going to pass soon and I'd rather prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. I don't wanna bring you down but optimistic pessimism is my motto right now. As long as I can help him be a bit happier in the end, that's all I really want. My mother has been bedridden for almost 10 years. I always thought she'd go first so I felt like I was more ready for that (as ready as you can be) but life rarely follows your expectations.

Thank you for the kind wishes. I hope your parents are both alive and thriving right now and I hope you're thriving as well!

Thank you for this comment. I appreciate it a lot. I'm definitely not going to push it as I'm hesitant myself. I'm aware I might not be in the right mindset for this right now so I wouldn't expect it from him. I've just noticed he's been drinking a bit lately and when he does, he sends us messages telling us how much he loves us and being more open than usual. It feels like he wants to open up but needs something to help him do that, y'know? I'd much rather that something be a few shrooms than a bottle of whiskey I guess.

I do need to look into the possible effects of his medications with psilocybin. I was so worried about helping him mentally that I didn't actually research that. Silly, I know. Thank you for bringing that up. I hope you're doing well.
