to Ned Ludd, i mentioned on the other page but i used mushrooms to kick dope and prescribed some to my little brother. you gotta go through the dark to hit the light so if you don't let the mushrooms tell you why you suck and how to change it, you never will. in comparison to the dark ages or holodomor or potato genocide or WW2 or great depression or any other time in history, we've got it pretty easy.
media will spook you but we're not doing that fucking bad ergo our problems are in our head. trust, i say this from my experience too, i overdosed over 10 x in my heyday, puked in my own lungs on a portland sidewalk, aspirated, just courted death wicked hard. i couldn't see ahead too well but i will say, you hit 30 almost ironically. then you hit 40 and it's all a gas.
mushrooms will put you up on game but it's up to you to adapt your behaviors.
