Are you... comparing psilocybin to heroin?

Copenhagen is a brand of dip, not his location, if that is what you are referring to.
Ahh, didn't realise that. What's dip in this context? Rolling cigarettes or something different?
Despite not using them in a clinical, supervised environment, or in conjunction with therapy, the experience actually had me somehow understand where my depressions came from and helped overcoming them like nothing else did.
Of course it didn't "cure me", managing depression has been a way longer journey - but for me it changed my life from "barely able to get up" to a state where i was actually able to do things, start working, live my life and care for myself almost overnight. Literally felt like it had re-wired my brain, never since relapsed into quite such a dark and hopeless state i was living in back then.
What's far more terrifying about this practice is that it's a method of reprogramming the way someone thinks. This is "Clockwork Orange" level experimentation. Imagine this being used in concentration camps or interrogations. Getting people to a mental state where they have no choice but to confess or conform because their minds will no longer let them "touch the cigarette". This is very scary.

Comments like this are effective against growing your understanding of reality. Unless I misunderstood and you were meaning to say that psychedelic experiences can cause you to face your own death and have glimpses of enlightenment, then yes, but the metaphor will be lost on most people.
You should ease up on mushrooms. To come up with such an interpretation... I mean literally, guillotine heals headache 100%, but that's not a sufficient reason to practice it. The same with psychedelic mushrooms, even if they work against smoking, it's not necceserily a sufficient reason to use them.
I can attest to that. In my early tweens i was in a severely depressive state and would be actively rejecting psychotherapy and just keep going further down the spiral - it all changed after a one or two experiences with magic mushrooms. Despite not using them in a clinical, supervised environment, or in conjunction with therapy, the experience actually had me somehow understand where my depressions came from and hel…
While I realize that it is an entirely personal matter, I can't help but ask if you can perhaps share some of your insights?
This actually worked for me. I was a habitual marijuana user for several years and it had very adverse effects on my productivity and motivation, but I couldn't seem to quit. Then I did mushrooms with some friends and when I woke up I simply did not have the desire to smoke anymore. It has been around 12 years and I haven't ever picked it back up.
One of the weird things about psychedelics is that you'll often think "why don't I take better care of myself?" which often includes not doing the drugs or living the lifestyle that gave you that insight.
I also think I enjoy weed less since I've had that experience, which I'm a little disappointed about, but I feel like I have a much better compass for making good decisions now. I replaced grams in blunts with small amounts of whole leaf vaporization after that.
I've only done mushrooms once, and I've never wanted a cigarette more in my life than during that experience.
Why is that? What was causing the craving? Can you elaborate? I've heard that alcohol and cocaine cause this. IME mushrooms cause any low-consciousness activities like smoking/drinking/mindless partying to seem repulsive.
Edit for one more thought on this: it also gave me an appreciation for vegans and vegetarians. I was eating chicken while tripping once and really had some inner conflict over if it was ok to eat another animal. I'll never be a vegetarian, but for a brief moment I understood what all my hippie friends are on about :)
