My dad had a Stroke today, y'all help me pray that he passes soon and doesn't linger, He's a good man and I pray his next journey is fruitful and filled with love and happiness. I know that might sound fuked up to some of you, but my dads eat up with cancer, it's in his heart, lungs, all over. I'm not being ugly, just empathetic and compassionate, he would be in hell if he was bedridden. Thanks ahead for the prayers.

My Dad passed from Cancer Doc, it is so very very hard to watch that person who you love so much and care about so deeply suffer in the end like that. My thoughts are with your Dad and with you and your family. May he be at peace very soon.

On another subject, I'm curious Manifold prime... were mushrooms part of how you kicked your habits? By this I mean injesting them and healing with them.
I totally get you that cultivating mushrooms and being an attendant to their mysterious beauty is wholly therapeutic on its own.
Proud of you my MycoBro for getting sober. Good on you!

Not ugly at all man....sometimes it's just best to let people pass that are under a lot of unnecessary pain...I hope his journey continues into a positive place!

This is a great question, and disappointingly I'd have to say not really.
I know some people will smoke a cigarette while tripping, find it disgusting, and then never smoke again, but I never had that experience. I loved having a few joints throughout a trip.
Rather, before I stopped all mind altering substance use, I was dropping lots of mush very frequently, around 3-4 every week/ 2 weeks and little doses inbetween. That period gave me a LOT of introspection and helped me deal with my issues of sociopathic mindset, empathy issues, and just general trauma echoes. The way I see it,
- The mush gives you a strong, multifaceted, warped and yet clear view of your own mind/soul and how it works / where its disfunctions and rot lie.
- But YOU have to purposefully identify and then deal with and follow through the fixes for those issues.
- Except with empathy issues, I do concede Psilocybin will jump start your ability to empathise and respect the other.
But that was part of an ongoing and mostly complete process of self improvement I've been on for years, before I started growing. I see mushrooms as a catalyst that could be replaced by therapy or certain life experience. That process allowed me to be comforatable with being sober and therefore aware of my issues instead of obfuscation of what ails me. With clarity comes rapid progress. I can entertain myself with literature, or my projects. I dont want to dull my senses, they serve me in my ambitions.
That said, one thing I must mention is that although the frequency and intensity of the migraines that I have suffered my whole life may have shot down since I stopped working a office job, and also doing mushies (hell on my nervous system), I sincerely do miss being able to take the edge off a migraine with a joint.

i use to trip like mad when i was younger but i quit everything but heroin once i got real deep into it. then my friend gave me 7.0 grams of apes and i was plannin on just sellin them to get $$ for dope. when i couldnt get rid of them they just went into the drawer for a cpl weeks. then 1 day and idk wtf made me do it isaid fuck it its been like 15 yrs plus since ive tripped so i just made the whole bag into a tea and downed it. that shit literally slapped me upside the head and i was able to see myself from outside of my body and it was just an absolute amazing killer experience that 100% then and there made me say wtf am i doing im done. i went down to the methadone clinic the very next morning when they opened without even have goin to bed. but when i got there i found out that the dr only works 1 day a week there and that day just happened to b the day he was working that week and his first apmnt of the day cancelled. so i was able to pay the 250$ see the dr and start dosing that day after taking a drug test and having an assestment. that was almost 4 years ago now and i havnt touched the needle since that day i ate those apes.
its funny tho cuz i completely knew right then and there that mushrooms showed me the way and instantly rewired my brain. i gave the mushrooms all the credit and even said shit to others about it. then i started getting very curious about it and started getting into cult and then i started seeing all kinds of shit with others that basicly had the exact same kind if experience or close to it. prior to seeing and hearing about it after the fact i cant believe i never even heard of it before lol i had thought i found a secret nobody else knew about lol but either way im 4yrs clean next month and hope to b all the way off the methadone within another yr

Excellent post, I crave weed and tobacco while tripping, but I do have to say that it's the introspection on come down where I get what I can only relate to as a therapy session in my head and where I believe most people with mental health issues like schizophrenia and Bipolar disorders can run into trouble. My entire life seems to play out, particularly, the problem areas. I have to give cubensis credit for pushing me to get my opiate consumption under control, for teaching me how to live with my chronic pain and the biggest one of all was showing me that life is good because I had forgotten that with all the suffering I had been through. Thanks for sharing ManifoldPrime
edit: @jcm I believe because the mushrooms work, have very little side effects and doesn't require other Drugs to combat side effects, is exactly why big pharma has fought so hard to keep Drugs like Psilocybin/psilocin and LSD illegal. They can't make the same amount of money from drugs that work and are safe.

now while psilocybin showed me the way the methadone is what got me off. psilocybin has no benefit as an anti withdrawl or maint medication lol my lord i couldnt imagine tripping in full blown withdrawl my lord that would be absolute agony and would be a horrible way to torture someone lol. but what it did do was stop the mental part of the addiction i havnt even wanted to do it. its crazy man and there totally should be clinics like that. but i think it worked more cuz i wasnt looking for it. i think that if ppl go in there trying to get that kind of experience it may be difficult to obtain and one may be dissapointed. cuz believe me when that happened to me quitting wasnt even on my mind at all i didnt even wanna quit i had huge chunks of raw dope even. but that shit just fuckin hit me upside the head like hey dumb fuck wtf is wrong with u and i could see myself like almost outta body and it was fucking crazy man. i just dont know how you could actually set out to have that kind of experience. it just happened to take me there was all. 🤷🏼🤷🏼 idk man its fuckin hard to explain lol

That's why psilocybin, ibogane and ayahuasca work for addicts, it provides an otherwise unavailable perspective. It's the epiphany/realization of the reality of your unique situation that becomes painfully clear, as apposed to the impenetrable fog of denial that surrounds people. It's not a cure, it's a finely polished mirror that reveals your bullshit.
If I'm not mistaken iboga actually provides reliable cessation of an the desire to get high, like it immediately stops the craving for dope.

One of the most powerful things for me quitting dope was getting my methadone dose high enough to block the heroin. I kept doing dope and after a couple weeks of not feeling anything at all from it I just totally lost interest. Like it broke the Pavlovian connection in my brain between heroin and feeling good.
lol the tripping during withdrawal thing sounds so horrible it’s my main concern about trying ibogaine. Once I get my methadone down low the plan is to dose that and stop. A friend went to Mexico to do it and said he was sick and could barely get the pills down but once they started kicking in the withdrawal disappeared completely.
It supposedly is able to almost totally reset the receptors in your brain back to baseline which gets rid of withdrawal. As you do opiates you develop more and more until your body can’t fill them all and you get sick. 90% of the people I’ve talked to said it’s miraculous. They really need to study it more.
