    I was telling my therapist that I wanna take shrooms only last evening. I have a bunch. They’re legal here. My partner works on Sunday and I have the place to myself. Hope she doesn’t get divorced. Lol.

        I recommend having a friend trip with you together to affirm that what you’re expeciencing matches what they’re experiencing. I’ve taken a lot of psycadelics. For me, this is the way.

      I’m currently growing my first batch, they are unfortunately not legal here 😅 They’re fantastic though. I’ve done shrooms twice in my life now and my depression and social anxiety are all but gone. I’ve got years of therapy under my belt too and without that the effect would surely not have been this noticeable but still. When you take them you never know what will happen. Most likely it will be amazing from start to finish but every now and then shrooms make you confront unpleasant things. Taking them was a way to prove to myself that I’m ready to confront my fears.

      Wow I would never admit “recreational” drug use of any kind to any medical professional. Many years ago I admitted to smoking marijuana to my doctor and it turned into a major catastrophe. They threatened to report me to law enforcement for using illegal drugs and kept extorting me with bogus bills for months afterwards. I never trusted any medical professional again. Fuck the bible belt.

        I admitted to my primary doctor that I used MDMA, acid, mushrooms, and ketamine within the past 3 months. He didn’t even bat an eye, he was concerned of my drinking habits instead.

          Ugh, wish my doc had been concerned about my drinking when it was a problem. Nope. I went in with insomnia problems, and explicitly told him I also have a drinking problem, and he prescribed the max dose of extended release Ambien with a casual “oh don’t drink on this” as if I hadn’t just told him I had a problem. I used to drink every day, he thought I’d magically stop because he prescribed something for me to take every day? NOPE. Surprised I didn’t die from the alcohol + Ambien combo because I didn’t realize how bad it truly was to mix those.

        It’s just straight up illegal for medical professionals to report drug use in Canada. The government doesn’t want people to die because they were afraid to go to the hospital

          You’d think the government would want as many people as possible to die, considering how easy it is to get into MAIDS, and how hard it is to get actual healthcare instead.

          Remember, almost every suicide was someone else’s choice, someone who knew what the consequences were, but went with it anyway.

      I suggest listening to some Terence Mckenna talks before tripping. Also, surrender to the shroom if needed. It’ll help.
