whats the potential side effects of it though? i mean regardless to type of high any drug gives you surely theres always some sort of side effects whether short or long termYou cannot get physically addicted to them and the high experienced is nothing like weed, you may experience a feeling of otherworldliness that in itself is not unpleasant but is not for everyone, the "trip" can last for up to six hours but the intense feeling will wear off within two to three hours.
If you are prone to feeling paranoid after taking weed then I would suggest that you do not try mushrooms or any other similar substance.
As I've said, this is not for everyone, caution must be observed!!!
Please note, I don't take these for fun or kicks, I use them instead of mainstream pharmaceuticals to treat the depression I get as part of my bipolar disorder.
P.
I suppose as with any drug too much too often could potentially be harmful, who knows.....but I've found with mushrooms you don't find yourself wanting to keep taking them, it's not like any habit forming drug, it's a medicine that seems to work well for some people with depression but I have never felt ..... wow what a trip, I want some more of that!whats the potential side effects of it though? i mean regardless to type of high any drug gives you surely theres always some sort of side effects whether short or long term
I used to have Ovaltine which helped but got lazyAgree on the hot milk thing. Haha what a contrast, mega shroomzz vs a cup of Horlicks hahaha! I swear by a hot milky drink before bed. I did start to put on weight though, doing it all the time. I also lob a slosh of brandy or a dram in there (I keep a bottle of cheap spirits for that, none of the good stuff!) sometimes that's enough to take the edge off so you can sleep. My problem nowadays is that I'm so tired I fall asleep instantly but wake up 5h later with back and neck ache. But there is definitely some science behind the hot milk being good for sleep even without Horlicks or alcohol.
Yea totally get youI suppose as with any drug too much too often could potentially be harmful, who knows.....but I've found with mushrooms you don't find yourself wanting to keep taking them, it's not like any habit forming drug, it's a medicine that seems to work well for some people with depression but I have never felt ..... wow what a trip, I want some more of that!
If the side effects are that it can make a depressed person feel better then what is the harm in its use.
Let's not forget that humans have been taking these types of natural drugs for thousands of years, unlike the mass produced pharmaceutical drugs that are pushed onto us by doctors and using us as guinea pigs to see what the potential side effects are.
I'm not an expert on this subject and I would suggest you do your own research into the pro's and con's of taking such things as these.
I'm not suggesting that there are no side effects that may be potentially detrimental in the long term but living with depression is also detrimental to us in the long term.

I have been prescribed many drugs to help combat depression but I have always found that the side effects outweighed any good the drugs may have been doing.I used to have Ovaltine which helped but got lazy
I got find milk with raw honey helps a lot
Really want to source raw milk, that would probably help even more then he processed milk we get from supermarket's
Yea totally get you
You tried other prescribed drugs like diazepam?
Those help to rest but can be very very addictive, so got to be very careful
Hey @BlademonkeyI have been prescribed many drugs to help combat depression but I have always found that the side effects outweighed any good the drugs may have been doing.
So I no longer take any prescription medications that are supposed to help deal with depression.
My choice, I'm certainly not suggesting that anyone stop taking what they have been prescribed by their doctors to treat depression.
You must do what you feel is best for you!

Blimey, that's a high dose. I've took large doses of them in my more dissolute years, but 50ish was my more regular amount. That seems a hard core approach to depression I was absolutely trollied when I took that sort of amount.I'm not at all suggesting that anyone should take magic mushrooms but study's have been shown that they offer great relief from depression.
I can confirm that for myself at least the consumption of a fairly high dose of around 150-200 mushrooms can help help reduce the worst effects of depression and they do not need to be taken every day, once or twice a month seems to be enough.
I once had to go out in the autumn and pick as many as I could find and then dry them however, with a search on the internet you can now buy such things.
It may not work for everyone but it offers great relief for many.
What you do with this information is totally up to you!
Be well,

I've taken DMT, acid, different sorts of mind altering fungi and have found them all to be beneficial to my mental well-being, you can't really over do it with magic mushrooms because you will usually vomit as you are coming up so your body will naturally sort out the level of dose that your bodyBlimey, that's a high dose. I've took large doses of them in my more dissolute years, but 50ish was my more regular amount.

I do agree that psychedelics can be very worthwhile to deal with the inner workings of the mind. When I used to do such things I always swore by LSD to clear my head, the day after it always felt if someone had removed my brain put it in a washing machine then put it back. It was a good feeling, I mentioned this to my psychiatrist years later and he was horrified, he didn't advocate this approach at all.
I think the psychedelic approach can be helpful, and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of research out there suggesting that. It's definitely a case of be careful though, it can be intense
Yes, I am currently sharing a house with one other person, it's not ideal because I'm very particular about cleanliness and not all people live up to my high standards but it's better than living in the woods, although I do feel like packing my bergen and heading back to the woods on some day's because it wasn't all bad out there, it could be quite enjoyable!!!Hey @Blademonkey
How's the house situation.... Did you manage to find something?
It is great that people on here feel comfortable enough to open up and share their experiences with mental health issues, personally I don't think we require a private space but I will be happy to go along with anything that gets suggested off the back of your post.It makes me glad for me to see the forum bdeing used to talk about issues like this, is there anything we can do to make it easier? A seperate forum section? a private area that people can request access to? Let me know if we can help out.
My dear old Mum had a very old skool approach to healthcare and was of the opinion that coughs, colds and other minor ailments could be helped on their way with a small tot of Milk and Drambuie before bedtimeI also lob a slosh of brandy or a dram in there (I keep a bottle of cheap spirits for that, none of the good stuff!) sometimes that's enough to take the edge off so you can sleep.
Maybe not a separate forum. But maybe it could be a thread that is pinned at the top or something like that.It makes me glad for me to see the forum bdeing used to talk about issues like this, is there anything we can do to make it easier? A seperate forum section? a private area that people can request access to? Let me know if we can help out.
