The answer is yes, just use common sense people. Don’t use psychedelics without professionals around, especially if you come from a fucked up childhood.
I think it goes a bit beyond spiritual, it allowed me to break down the elements in Mossyrock region WA on the bluff YES you can see everything and the Milky Way with your naked eyes
I was havin a bad trip once im still new to taking shrooms and this didnt scare me away I personally feel stronger because of it but i took one giant mushroom it was probably atleast 2-2.5 grams on its own the strain was alot stronger than the strain I previously tried but i figured it would be similar nope not at all. Remember you can always take more but u can’t take less. i dont think i was ready for that much it was too intense i didnt even really get visuals like breathing and melting until later on in the trip which is so weird to me cause I normally notice it early its like the shrooms were angry or upset. I kept fighting the urge to pass out so that’s probably why it didnt go well for me. You’re supposed to just let whatever happens happen But the worst part was the body feeling it was so uncomfortable and I literally couldnt move for the first hour or 2. Im really glad shrooms comes in wave’s though because on the down time when it didnt feel like i was tripping balls i was able realize im just not having a good time rn but everything is going to be okay the trip will end eventually. Normally i want it to last longer but i wished it would just stop that time. then entire time im aware that im on shrooms but it was still hard to seperate it from reality at times its alot more powerful than weed thats for sure. Normally i smoke weed an hour or 2 into the trip but that time i didnt cause i was scared it would make it worse considering it intensifys the mushrooms. I cant even really pinpoint why i wasnt having a good trip either. To be fair i wasnt having the best day and decided to take the highest dose of shrooms that ive had so far i probably should have thought about that before diving straight in. But you live and you learn, was definitely the longest 6 hours of my life and i was still trippin after i stopped trippin for about 2-3 hours if that makes sense
I'll take the day off and trip on acid all day long. But if I smoke weed I have tendencies similar to a paranoid schizophrenic. For instance don't want to walk down the street I think everybody's watching me, I have a feeling of like people can hear my inner monologue or read my thoughts I guess you'd say in conjunction I sometimes question did I say that out loud? It increases my anxiety to a level that activates my flight or fight response and I just want to either escape to a room by myself or get loud and argumentative, like confrontational standoffish….. I wanted to add something it makes me feel like I'm an actor in a play. If I'm acting natural it's because I'm consciously acting natural, weed bugs me out now, which is funny because when I was younger, I'm 30 now, I used to smoke an ounce a day.
I took a lot of shrooms once (the first and only time) and I ended up in a psychosis, I couldn't trust my friends anymore and I felt like I was going to die. Didn't know what was real anymore, I didn't really get any visual or auditory hallucinations except for the warped perception of reality and the normal patterns and colours. But I couldn't tell if my bodily sensations were real or not and that's what convinced me that I was dying, also because I couldn't think rationally anymore so I wasn't able to realize that you can't even physically die from it. My friends tried to calm me down but they couldn't get through to me because I thought they were out to get me, and these are really close, trusted friends.
I don't think I'm schizophrenic though, It was more a bad trip from anxiety that spiraled into psychosis.
It was a pretty traumatic experience and reality still felt kind of fake for 3-4 months, kept getting weird thoughts, feelings, sensations and just confusion. I was afraid I would never be the same again but it got better over time. Although I still feel uncomfortable thinking back about it, It's really scary if it goes wrong.
2 years later from that, about 5 weeks ago when I smoked a joint I got a panic attack for the first time, it was a weirdly similar experience, without the psychedelic effects.
Went to the doctor after that and found out I have severe to debilitating anxiety on top of my depression and ADD. I was already anxious sometimes before doing psychedelics but that experience made it much worse.
I have been feeling suicidal for a while too so it was obviously a terrible idea to take any drugs, especially psychedelics.
But the drugs themselves are not to blame, it's your mind and not every mind can handle it.
I hope someone will read this and learn from my dumb mistakes, DO NOT try psychedelics if you aren't feeling good. Not just on that particular day but in general, because it probably will show up in your trip and you'll have a terrible time. So really be honest with yourself because on psychedelics your fears, worries and thoughts will come into play without your control.
Really I'd say don't even bother trying because the possible risks are too big compared to the possible rewards in my opinion, because losing your mind is the scariest thing, even if it's only temporary it will fuck you up.
And if you do decide to try, start on a low dose. Don't be a hero.
