I had a stroke a few months ago, resulting in some long-lasting effects in my visual field. I have read reports that mushrooms can help the brain develop new connections; and I'd like to see if they can help improve my vision. But I have no idea where to get shrooms, how much to dose, etc. Any tips?
Never did any type of psychedelics. You don't read much about "death by misadventure" associated with them though. I'm curious about this. Alcohol, for example, is pretty famous for clouding judgement, reducing inhibition, and so on. Such that otherwise rational people drive intoxicated, get into fights, fall asleep in inappropriate places, fall off of and into things, etc. Psychedelics obviously cause you to halluci…
From what I hear, the idea of doing anything complex like driving a car is extremely unappealing under the effects of mushrooms.
What you need to know is that it will make you dumb and stupid, and you'll sit there giggling to yourself incapable of any coherent thought, like a drooling idiot. At least that's what it'll look like from the outside. From the inside, you'll feel like you've opened a door to a magical land of true understanding, like the veneer of convention has peeled off the world and you can finally see the underlying superstrutu…
This comment is just plain wrong. It has been even studied and proven scientifically that for example psilocin, one of the main components of the psilocybe family of mushrooms promotes neuroplasticity and neuritogenesis (Neuritogenesis is a key process required during development of the mammalian brain). [1] So, the completely reverse of what you said is true, mushrooms can actually promote repairing the brain and st…
Not everywhere though. "Is" is a very tricky word.

Just plan on doing a triple batch as without proper lab equipment, the chance of contamination is higher.
I feel like I'm alone in this, but I don't like mushrooms. I usually have unpleasant body effects, and I don't like the trip generally. I'm fairly confident in my ability to have dosed as responsibly as possible with a biological product. Usually, though, I just feel weird and uncomfortable for 10. LSD, by comparison, is positively therapeutic for me.
My experience is that LSD, when good, is great, but when bad, can be disastrous. Mushrooms, while not as crisp and euphoric as LSD, don't seem to ever leave me scarred, even with large doses. I'll be laughing about a bad trip on mushrooms after I come down, but will be left unable to function in society for 6 months after a bad trip on LSD.
Tripsafe, Erowid, psychonaut and r/drugs are among the best ressources the web has been able to produce: thousands of actual trip reports, and empirically tested Risk Reductions procedures withtout stigma or judgement. Dont do drugs as a illegal thing that give you the thrill of being a bad boy. Take a scientifi approach of risk evaluation, read testimonies and reports and ensure your own safety, as you would do for…
> Also never do drugs "because it makes you feel better when you are sad". It's not risk free, but I disagree with this as absolute advice, a trip can fill up one's spiritual gas tank to keep on moving forward, they can demonstrate that one's depression is largely illusory.
I was mostly referring to falling into an habit to numb the pain
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Everyone is suggesting taking more but you can have a decently profound experience with just 2g. Try it with an eye mask and just music next time, and no other distractions, maybe with a trip sitter nearby.
I agree with this. Even the music may serve as too much of a distraction, as well.
all of these activities kept me busy, but none of them were quite as fulfilling as just closing my eyes and letting my mind do the work (even with music as a guide). eventually, i just started doing the opposite -> the stations remained, but only as tools to help me beat my anxiety and/or boredom. if i ever feel that i am approaching a period of overwhelming feelings, i distract myself with the activities i mentioned.

I also feel instantly better, smarter, happier, etc for weeks after shrooms. Don’t feel that all on LSD.
