Mushrooms completely changed my life

I have been smoking pot since I was 15. I had my first shroom trip later that year and it was one of the top 5 most important experiences of my life (7g).

Now I am 19. This past year I tripped about ~12 times, 5 times on acid and the rest on mushrooms. this past month I had 4 mushroom trips, the last owned me, permenently. I had been smoking weed every day for 2 years straight before this happened. Now whenever I smoke weed I start tripping if I smoke enough. Last night I took 4 hits off a mids/chronic blunt and was higher than I have ever been off weed for 2 hours. It was not very comfortable, more like a 2 hour panic/anxiety attack, my heart would NOT stop racing. In a way its a curse, but how I see it, I've been blessed. If it werent for this I would still be smoking weed every day, doing nothing with my life. Now that I've been thrown into reality, forced sober, I've moved back in with my parents and this year my goal is to FINALLY finish highschool, get a car, and my license. Pot really held me back for a while, not just pot, my addictive personality. I feel as if the spell has been broken and I've been given a chance to start a new life. Thank you mushrooms, the only drug I've taken that helps you quit drugs.

 

I had a similar experience with shrooms/acid, though there were other factors that contributed to me quitting. Especially because of the acid, and the way it makes me think, I've started to not enjoy being high all the time. It has narrowed my thoughts, and I don't like that anymore.

Lol about the only drug that makes you quit drugs, I always comment to people when telling them about my trip stories that it's ironic that the path to "hard" drugs pushed me off the path of drugs completely.

One of the mushroom experiences also had a much more profound effect, something changed on a much deeper level. It encouraged my belief that the best changes come out of the worst experiences.

 

so were do you stand here, I'm interested. Will you never smoke pot again? Do you think other people should try shrooms?

 

I don't like words like "never" and "always" and the like, so I won't say that I won't ever smoke again but I do feel that I might given certain situations. I just don't like the effects on how I think anymore.

Do I think other people should try shrooms? Of course, but not everyone. Some people would simply fight the experience too much and wouldn't be able to get anything out of it. For a lot of people there is the perception that it's a demonic counterculture item and they see it as an intoxicant and thus would never even think about eating mushrooms that make you hallucinate. The other part of it is that the things that most people learn from trippin, at least the things that are more directly applicable to daily life, can be learned from many other experiences.

There are certain of my friends I would give mushrooms to, some I would tell to never do it, some who I would say do it but I don't want to be around you when you're trippin....but I do feel as though I have a good feel for who should or not, and I'm quite the trippin buddy, my friends say.

 

I've had a similar experience too. I did mushroom 13 times in one year and other stuff. At the end I flipped, I had HPPD, depersonalizing disorder, panic attacks and depression. It's now almost 18 months later and I'm almost cured thanks to melatonine. I've never done any drugs (except alcohol) sincs then. Psychedelics just don't work. I'm just glad I'm almost cured now.

 

psychadelics dont for for u.....they might work for other ppl

 

"psychadelics dont for for u.....they might work for other ppl"

Yeah, that's true. They don't work for me, but for many other people they work.

 

I wasnt gonna reply til I read that last line. Mushrooms put things in perspective for me in a different but similar way. Just realizing what I needed to stop doing and stop right away. Very weird but good.

 

LOL my b...yea i meant to say "psychadelic might not work for you, but they may work for other ppl" i tend to do that sometimes.

 

mushrooms always seem to put things in perspection, i regret not listening to some of my instincts during my earlier mushroom trips.

 

I did acid for the last time ever when I was 17. when that happened, I have panic attacks whenever i smoke pot, so I didnt smoke for 6 months. Now I can smoke pot again, but I do so sparringly.

 

Interesting... I did shrooms for my first time in October and since then smoking pot hasn't been the same and I do it much less. I either start to feel kind of like how I did on the trip (which was a shitty one) or get all panicy. So yeah, I really don't know why that is but I'm just hoping to do shrooms again to get a better trip and have that one stick with me. We'll see.

 

So you're not gonna smoke pot anymore?

 

yeah billys are not good to smoke everyday, but definately the easiest/least harmful thing to smoke everyday.
im going back to school, so ill slow down again like i normally do, just on weekends or maybe on a wednesday or something, just as long as its not in school.
