To be fair, it’s not something most people want to consume regularly. I’ve done shrooms multiple times and even with the best experiences I’ve felt like one a year might be too often.
I was in a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins to treat PTSD with psilocybin about 8 or 9 years ago and I was basically cured of it. When I first went in, I was textbook with several symptoms. After the trial, no symptoms whatsoever. I had taken psilo several dozen times before that, but I had never actually thought about the therapeutic potential. After the trial, I had a completely different level of respect for them. I take them 4x per year now to maintain my positive mental health, no more, no less.
Psychedelic assisted therapy is incredible. Challenging. My therapist can only prescribe weed and ketamine so we use those. People think I’m in there having fun and getting doped up, and I mean, yes occasionally I do get fun sessions, but generally we have done a lot of heavy lifting, an interactive exchange designed to pin me into my body, where I have trouble wanting to go.
I’ve heard one or two sessions with pure MDMA can resolve quite a lot of c-ptsd symptoms for good, but alas I am clean from street drugs and can’t go chasing it, and darknet seems too risky these days. So I guess I wait for the law to change.

That’s incredible! I’d love to be able to take advantage of that (gosh, alcohol is such a shitty drug!).
I’ve got nothing like PTSD however, so maybe I should keep counting my blessings
