I like the shop around the corner

You can easily grow mushrooms that contain psilocybin at home. It's an easy process, the internet has plenty of communities.

If you are not very experienced with psychedelics, please inform yourself about best practices / harm reduction. Look into set and setting. Have people around who you trust.

For most people, psychedelics are not a substitute for therapy. The healing happens in between trips, but you have to put in the work - don't skip integration. The average Joe will need professional help for that.

If you have serious issues or if you are repressing a lot of stuff, it will most likely come up during a trip and you will have to process it - psychedelics show you what you need, not what you want. That being said, most people that have a lot of experience with psychedelics will tell you even difficult trips will lead to positive gains.

Overall, it's mostly a marvelous and wonderful experience that can be life changing, but please treat it with the respect it deserves.

Depression? You can have some of mine, I have more than enough for everyone.

So I went on a mushroom walk once, they were literally growing in a grass field. Look up liberty cap. Obviously don't just eat random mushrooms that you find

What country are you in? The internet.

If you have an interest, you're ready for them. For what it's worth, I find that the bad trips are the most beneficial. They're a manifestation of problems often ignored, displayed in a way that is highly symbolic.

Yeah, that is the key question. Not to mention that the headline is giving 100% of the 'credit' to the psilocybin.

Smells fishy to me.

Meaning like a single therapy session? The answer is close to zero

iirc from research I've read it doesn't matter if the trip is good or bad, it still relieves depression all the same

I think its important that talking therapy was included too.

Yeah for me 4 times a year would be ideal but i tend to put it off a lot even though the experience is always enjoyable

Dude start off with something more mellow, or you're going to be extremely disappointed if/when you decide to try other drugs. Psychedelics are so intense that I don't even consider them to be drugs. They're something else entirely. A "god molecule", if you will.

I'd suggest starting off with Nitrous Oxide and/or weed first. Nitrous has psychedelic properties (but without the visuals), and cannabis can also be psychedelic when you have no tolerance. Also they last more in the minute range—not hours (especially nitrous)—so they'll wear off a lot quicker should you decide you don't like the feeling.

Trust me, I've tried every drug under the sun. I'm a daily or near-daily user of several substances; psychedelics like shrooms are the one substance that I avoid. Only for special occasions, once every few years at most. Not the very first thing I'd try. It would be the very last.

Ketamine too. You can get it in a clinical setting without a prescription. It has a half life of about twenty minutes so if it’s not your thing it’s over quickly. One session gets you two separate doses, so you trip for about an hour, and feel totally normal afterward. Great for depression too.
