Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am sure other opinions will differ but if you feel generally secure with yourself and your life, I'd recommend enjoying it out in the woods. My friend has had some magical experiences with the sunset and the onset of the evening but it's not bad during the day, just less readily apparent visual effects, according to them.

Don't try it outside for the first time unless you've previously tripped. After which, yes. r/Outside trips can be so incredibly rewarding If you are going to try it for the first time, and for most I feel you should at least consider it. Please first do it in the comfort of your own home before venturing to r/Outside. This way if you're not familiar with the experience, and you get to a place of discomfort. You can…

I can only offer an anecdote but it's fine outside your first time as long as you're comfortable with yourself and your life and setting.

I wouldn't do it around other people who aren't part of your adventure though.

Been seeing a lot of Psilocybin on the front of HN lately and I'm loving it. With Oregon legalizing it, I can't wait to try it out.

I have a neutral opinion on Psilocybin in general, but beware the selection bias in internet comment sections. Positive comments get upvoted and praised, negative experiences get dismissed with a mix of victim blaming (usually "set and setting" comments) or explained away as exacerbating pre-existing underlying conditions. Eventually those with bad experiences give up on participating in discussions. It does appear t…

Only speculating, but maybe it's because the legal status of psilocybin prevents all but the people who are most interested in it from taking it. If it were legally available then maybe more people that would use it casually would emerge than if it were illegal, and the number of negative experiences would increase. From what I understand, it's best to have a good mindset and have someone else knowledgeable of the substance to guide you through the process, otherwise it isn't as effective or harmful to the psyche.

I would like to add that even if you "feel generally secure with yourself and your life", psilocybin could teach you otherwise.

Yes and it can confirm your feelings of security as well.

Unfortunately the upcoming legislation doesn't make psilocybin available to casually try out - it won't be available for over-the-counter purchase like marijuana/alcohol, but rather during therapy sessions with a therapist specifically licensed to administer psilocybin. Possession of small amounts of it have been "decriminalized" (you need to pay a fine or go to rehab, but you don't go to jail) along with cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, etc. but it still isn't fully legal to purchase and possess per se.

As a cancer survivor, I can confirm the absolutely amazing, life-changing effect that psilocybin had on my depression. After cancer, it gets really difficult to "reintegrate" with society. Most conversations sound absolutely pointless, I felt like there was less grip surface between the concept of me and almost everyone. The depressions after cancer are commonplace, and mine were strong, too. The difference in depres…

Hey there, happy about your recovery both physical and psychological. How did you come across psylo and Could you share how you learned and planned your dosing ?

I am not the person you replied to, however spores are readily available online in many nations (they are absent psilocybin/psilocin, and thus are often unregulated and lawfully sold as syringes or prints), and techniques like "PF Tek" are simple, well documented, and speedy.

In performing due diligence, I discovered several of the stock exchange listed shroom startups are paying pump-n-dump “analysts” to promote psilocybin across speculator, investor, and general social media. Not coincidentally, their penny stocks valuations have seen a remarkable rise over the past couple of months. I expect that we’ll soon see the dump part of the pump.
