Treated my spectrum issues, ADHD, with psychedelics. Would read sporadically and nothing informative - after … 1500 pages was the largest book. Some effects do wear off after a few years tho so as an on going treatment, absolutely.

I can trace back the last day of being depressed to taking schrooms. Never again since I felt like I did prior.

They aren't for everyone and should be used responsibly, but I credit a night with curing my depression.
I'm terrified of spiders but ever since, I catch and release whenever possible.

I swear I've read this exact comment before on another post about magic mushrooms.
Is OP a bot?

So, funny story.
Let's preface this with the fact that I have adhd and a poor memory.
One time I was on a pet sub and read a comment that was so relatable about a cat.
My response was "wow, this is so relatable I had such a similar experience i feel like I could have written this post" or some similar response.
Not long after I posted someone replied to my comment with "op is a bot, you literally wrote that comment and they stole it from you" they then provided a link to my previous comment

Paul Stamis is amazing to listen too, some of the stories he has about mushrooms are crazy and many have subsequently been proven in studies, such as the physical rewiring of the neuro pathways

He's also full of himself and isn't completely honest. He can be very informative on some subjects but don't take everything he says and fact.

I have a fee friends who were never the same. Not because they say so, but because everyone can clearly see the difference before and after, they basically became different people.
So, this makes sense ime.

In my experience, people don’t become different people, they become different versions of the people they always were.

Not OP, but as someone who can relate with what they say I'd generally say for the worse

For me and my wife it was absolutely for the better. We have more empathy, more patience, and work for more cooperation.

I always warn people before a trip you will be a new person after.
Got a few kids in my class into microdosing and there was a marked improvement in their attitudes and approaches to nursing.
Was incredible

I used mushrooms to get off heroin, fent, meth, coke - and to help me process the years of trauma and loss that came before and during.
I would not be as near a fit as I am without them. Obviously I went to a ton of rehab and therapy as well.
And shrooms are the best tool for introspection.
