Shrooms aren’t meant to get you off reality when there’s something you want to stop feeling, a bad feeling of jealousy, anger, sadness, or who knows, I noticed on my own that every time I took shrooms just to feel better I always had a bad trip, one time I was walking in the woods at night and before I did that I took shrooms because I was angry about something related to an ex lover, as I kept texting my ex that night with that negative feeling I became aware I was “high” and I knew I was in a bad mindset it I kept texting and doing all this drama, when I got back home I was very very depressed like you got no idea, I was so negative…but anyways, if you’re in a good mindset and actually look for answers or a “push back to the road” kind of thing I have never had bad experiences like that, if you’re just doing that for fun idk what to tell you, also a “I want to know more” mindset will give you good trips, it also depends on who you’re around with(what kind of person you are around with at the moment of the trip) it all plays a role believe it or not my guys. DONT DO IT WHEN YOURE ANGRY OR AIMLESSLY DONIT WHEN YOURE SAD, YOU GOTTA HAVE A PURPOSE IN MIND, it’s different every time, don’t think it’s otherwise
I have been diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia. I was on 3 meds for 10 years. Then I stopped them and self-medicated with weed. There were stretches of period after stopping medication where I felt fully 'normal' not to mention functional. However, weed addiction caught up with me and I tried shrooms to stop it. Shrooms knocked off weed, caffeine and anxiety in one fell swoop and my mind was completely clean – like a blank state. And I even felt guilty that how can a human stay in that continuous flow state all the time!
Then the anxiety started creeping in. I relapsed to weed. And again to stop weed and for spiritual growth I did number of shrooms trips subsequently which brought trauma and repressed memories to the surface and thus triggering the latent psychosis. Now I hope there is a fairy tale ending.
Here is the thing. Yes, people like shouldn't do shrooms. But at what cost? The old engine which was running from trauma and hence manifesting itself as addiction…? What good is THAT balanced fully functional life? It's like you go on with your entire waking life ignorantly blissful. Life is one time. For me it was worth the shot to try shrooms even if it brought my shadow to the forefront. At one stage of my life, I have to deal with my shadow. Be it now or 20,000 years from now.
But yes. Hindsight is always 20/20. I hope I did not have so many subsequent shroom trips and instead focused on the first two ones which brought so much positive benefits.
You gotta know how to navigate the psychedelics and you HAVE to know what to expect before you take them. Psychedelics open your mind up for construction: good and bad. If you can balance out your thoughts and focus on positivity and not negativity…you'll be just fine. "The psychotic drowns in the same waters the mystics swims with delight." You MUST respect these compounds. Often these cases of people having psychotic breaks is because they didn't know what to expect and so the experience took hold of them and threw them around. You gotta research these compounds and know exactly what to expect so that when things get difficult on your trip, you don't spiral out of control. Breaks happen when people lose belief in who they are and the reality they live in. Before you go on a psychedelic trip, ground yourself in your beautiful life and embrace the journey you're about to go on. Know that you're safe and you'll be fine after the trip. Just be cautious of paranoid thoughts because once we give paranoid thoughts any bit of attention…they will steal all the positivity from your trip and spiral it downwards. Once trips go downward, it's best to try to distract yourself or face the fear with confidence and bravery. <3
Me and my 2 buddies use to drive 2 hours up into the mountains and go night fishing at a couple lakes. We use to crush up a half ounce of mushrooms into a jar and fill it with honey about 2-4 weeks before we went, this would turn the honey blue, green, purple. On the drive up we would take turns eating spoons of the honey till it was all gone so about 5 grams each. I don't think any of us ever caught a fish on those trips. 😆 🤣 😂 I do remember the stars being brighter than I've ever seen anywhere. 😉 😎
