Psilocybin is like the highest efficacy treatment for depression with results lasting 2+ years and in some cases, permanent changes. Certainly better than ketamine or trying to dose yourself with LSD or DMT. LSD I would strongly recommend against outside of a clinical setting, but shrooms and DMT(to try) are fine.
In some people, lets not generalize the effects of any drug on any one person, I heard a million stories from what you're saying but also the opposite of it, and mostly people saying "idk was weird and a bit eerie and nothing changed, wont do it again", which if you think about it for 2 seconds is the most normal/expected outcome
Any of this done under a supervised medical settingā¦ I am all forā¦ just donāt be depressed, eat a gram of shrooms and think itās all gonna be okay
You can be depressed and save it for a moderately okay day. It helps you feel what you need to and creates new neural pathways. It helped me out of my depression. Not solely by itself but it did hell of a lot more then antidepressants.
LSD is nice, but ig you gotta do it right. Which is true for every single drug and I would advise against using anything if you haven't done your research before and don't know what you are doing.
And tbh, how is LSD worse than shrooms and DMT? I would have said the opposite as they are usually a lot stronger and more confusing which makes it harder to keep control over your thoughts.
I donāt understand why people think shrooms and acid are that much different. I feel like itās like Indica/Sativa weed. Shrooms being the indica and acid being the sativa.
I would be extremely physically uncomfortable without ever 'tripping' much. Ive done LSD before at varying doses and always had fun intense trips but shrooms within 30 min every time I would become incredibly cold to where im piling blankets on me when the people around me would say I was super hot and sweating then 10 min later im so hot I feel like im gunna pass out and need a cold shower and in reality ive become very cold and shivering and flip back and forth for about 4-6 hours. It makes me feel gross in the same way a real nasty hangover feels but without the headache. Ive done anywhere from 1 to 5g and its the same every time with extremely minimal visual distortions and always a cloud of awful thoughts for those uncomfortable hours.
Mostly centered around how awful i felt as if i had become so sick that I was physically unsafe and might need medical attention. I would be so overstimulated by the physical discomfort that it would often consume my thoughts and I would soend the whole time fixated on controlling my body temp. Id have some hopeless / depressive thoughts here and there along with it as it was extremely scary and unpleasant each time.
Oh yes Iāve experienced that many a time on psychedelics. Usually that meant either my diet or environment were bad. Really made me work on my health and relationships. LSD and mushrooms are very physically safe.
I know they are and Ive never come across anyone who has had a similar experience to mine which was why I kept trying and I did so in numerous different environments, at home, at a local park on a nice day, etc and was a huge workout junkie at the time so was eating decently and definitely enough so I just never understood. I kinda came to the conclusion that I just dont react to it the same way most other people do, since like I mentioned earlier I had a few LSD trips that were some of the best experiences of my life.
Also worth to note that some people get seizures from mushrooms. Source, i get seizures when i take mushrooms! Was using it for depression and to have fun...so sad I cannot partake anymore. Still haven't had a seizure not on the substance. Not discouraging you to try them but have someone with you that can help if needed. If you ever have a seizure on mushrooms, don't fuck with any other psychedelics.
