Mushrooms Might Hold The Key To Quitting Smoking!

For cigarette smokers, quitting can be an incredibly challenging experience. Approximately 480,000 Americans die every year from cigarettes, making it the single largest preventable cause of disease and death in the country.
If that's not enough to convince smokers to quit, it's evidence enough of the power of nicotine addiction. So when Johns Hopkins University came out with a study on the effects of using psilocybin, the active hallucinogenic agent in "magic mushrooms," to help longtime smokers kick the habit, the results impressed many.

through the countless mushroom trips in my life, none in all their beauty showed me the "key" to quit smoking. In fact, I used to love smoking a cigarette while tripping.
Vaping is the only thing that got me off of cigarettes after 1+ packs a day for 12 years.Therefore I'm calling bullshit on this article.
What do you folks think?

It all really depends. I am sure that a long time smoker already wants to quit and the powerful psilocybin trip was the push they needed to fully stop. I've had trips that told me to stop and value myself but I've also been taught to enjoy my life to the fullest so I continued smoking. However now I'm vaping because I've considered not putting garbage into my body due to my trips. They don't magically make people quit but Im positive that mushrooms will strongly influence someone to do so. Its pretty much just like getting the best advice of your life.
-------------------- Step 1: Stare at this for 30 seconds
Step 2: Look at this after following step one
Step 3: Enjoy the mini trip

dont forget to call bullshit on people dying from cigarettes, they die from cancer and it has as much to do with genetics as it does with the carcinogens in cigarettes
vaping is also what got me to stop smoking

I myself quit smoking with Methoxetamine A friend quit smoking with LSD A friend quit Heroin with Ketamine
Entheogens like psychedelics and dissociatives can provide you the landmark event when you are ready,. and help you get ready.

Given the intensity of the behavioral intervention, and lack of a comparator group, the evidence is exceptionally weak here.

It worked for me. I was all like, "let's stop smoking guyz!" And we did shrooms, and *poof*, the urge was gone, and has been ever since, for me and my mates.
But I think it won't work if, deep down, you don't really want to quit

I don't smoke on a regular basis, but often when I trip I have the urge to. Go figure.

I don't really like vaping myself. I tried it for a while. It made my throat hurt and I didn't really get the same nic buzz from it.
