I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[@Islasss-z8m]

I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

[@MuratBasar-jm9lc]

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏

[@Caroljoyce-mp8sk]

YES very sure of mycologist Predroavaro. This treatment worked for me. Helped me got rid of my life long depression and BPD.

[@Micnesia-c1l]

I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.

They open the doors of perception. The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open. I became, eventually ,an emergency nurse. I had more empathy, understanding , calm skills in life or death situations . I was good at my job. I’m now 63 and retired. Magic mushrooms from Britains green and beautiful land . Then came Amsterdam! Homegrown kits . A different buzz with every one. I never went crazy on them and didn’t do them year round. Once in a while , when the time was right. I’ve discussed the universe with friends and also laughed with them uncontrollably. Brilliant highs . But I do think you have to be the right type of person. I’ve known people go overboard and it turns into a habit, a kind of addiction. I haven’t done any for a few years years now, but am looking forward to the festive season in the autumn. ‘Mind how you go ‘

[@Defirence]

small side note though from some anecdotal evidence and personal experience: Microdosing daily (300-600mg) works amazing for neurological damage and brain/nerve injury. I was born with a myriad of chronic illness but only done large (0.5g-1g) doses twice with set+setting prep. I was free of intrusive thoughts + any depressive symptoms the first time for 2 weeks, on 0.5g, I take ~300mg daily now for about 6 months and it's helped get rid of chronic depression, helped my SLE, Fibro and seizures come down from 5-6 a day (1-2 grande mal) to practically 0 in the last few years. This and cannabis has helped me have a life worth living again. I'm glad you also had such enlightening experiences with this beautiful medicine. Peace be with you. :)

Well thank you for your input for more information of the object reality of this nature but I'm sure since he took very high doses like in the peek of led he'll hit dmt and always proclaimed the importance of the third hit.

Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked.Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.

Sometimes you're only supposed to meet someone once. When you meet someone for the first time you should remember it could be the last time. This will change how you perceive people and you'll learn that one brief encounter might be the most important of your life.

[@AreMullets4AustraliansOnly]

Often, people who will take such risks are also more likely to rebel against societal norms and find their own paths. It’s hard to find the causailty. But people who take psychedelics think whilst on them and can find new insights in a quicker time. But i’d like to think that such people were already on that path of insights before ever taking the substances. Acid did not break me through to the other side, acid was part of breaking through, same as reading new information that forces you to think.

What you can do is judge their statements on their merit, and this man seems like he knows how to think complex thoughts and lives and breathes what he’s talking about.

WOW i felt Vasyl's energy..... Truly a blessing-- he seemed like he was having the time of this life LMAO

[@gmaximosis]

a question, how long does he soak the mushroom in the vodka, and does this work with dried amanita as well? Does one then only use the liquid extract? Ive been trying amanita, different to psilocybin, but has a very hypnotic side as well as its rather nauseous to drink in a tea, though 3.5-5 dried grams slowly simmered at next to no low boil with some honey and some vitamin C on an empty stomach is less nauseous. Anyone got any tips for eliminating the nauseous from the tea?

[@user-rl1zv5zk8m]

It's best if it passes through some ones or a animals (dog or bear)liver.... Slavic shamans would then drink the urine, just like weed turns into something else when eaten then metabolised through the liver so does fly argic, supposedly that's when it was has anti cancer effects before that you can seriously mess up your brain

Carpathian forest Where the trees are endless Forest titans fall to rest A bed is made for the queen Mushrooms gather in circles Where bears walk Dereliction houses dark spirits A comet falls deep into darkness Stones rise in circles Where drums roar Water wispers vibrating People dance under the moon In circles Bone to Rune Skull to Dust Ice melts the thoughts of the gods Root promises blossom

[@GardensoftheAncientsHerbal]

how would I talk to you guys about the amanita some more. I work with one of the leading research groups on the subject and on of the few who know how to grow them in the lab. It would be a pleasure to teach you guys and the world about the science behind the amanita in a more acceptable and digestible light.

I would absolutely love to read more about this. Could you please point me in the right direction?
