What a wonderful journey... * 7
    #24558604 - 08/16/17 04:29 PM (6 years, 6 months ago)

Hi my name is Corey.  I'm 27 & from North Georgia and this is my story of self evaluation and my learning experience from the elusive and wonderful Psilocybe Caerulescens (Weilii).....


So about a year ago I heard there was a psychedelic mushroom that grew in the hills around where I live. So I decided I would find them.

My entire life, I've dabbled with different drugs.  And actually became severely addicted to some.  This has been a recurring problem with me. I'm a junkie at heart.  No denial. I know what I am.

I've read different articles and watched documentaries about how psilocybin has helped depression and addiction.  It's amazing to see people's stories.  And no, it wasn't my intention to eat shrooms and become sober.  I just wanted to get fucked up like I always do. 


So I started on the hunting forum in February.  Reading and learning like wildfire.  Posting pictures of every single mushroom and fungus I found:


Possible weilii?



Is this weilii?



I think I found weilii



Pretty sure these are them. They have a nipple and everything



Ok I swear this is weilii





My experience and yearning for knowledge was welcomed in full force on the forum. I learned an incredible amount.  And started looking for edibles and other cool mushrooms.  I love taking pictures of them. I was becoming entranced by mycology.  I love everything about it.  So much to see and discover. I was learning I don't have to be high to enjoy myself. Finding chantrelles,  lyophyllum descastes, death caps,  and so much more.  It is a clean fun hobby. 


And then one day...



I found them. 
And the patch I found was unlike anything anyone had ever seen. And I kept finding them






With each haul, I had the opportunity to go deeper in my mind.  Larger doses.  Different types of ingestion and extraction. And with each trip I became more aware of the happiness in the world that didn't come from drugs.  I started to feel less clouded.  Hours upon hours I would lay thinking about all the things that I lost while using.  Thousands of dollars thrown away for a few highs. The stress, fear, and anger I've caused my family.  With each trip,  I wanted less and less to be high.  Until eventually, I had no urge to use.  Even while sober, I don't want to be high.  I wanted to be ME.

This testimony is a first hand case of the amazing things magic mushrooms can do.
Hell,  I had so many mushrooms,  they helped me pay my bills. 

Low and behold, with my most recent trip,  I realized the mushrooms had done their job.  I thought to myself on the come down that,  along with all the other drugs,  I don't need the mushrooms anymore either.  They taught more about myself than I learned in the 27 years I've been in existence. 

With this epiphany,  I've decided that I will take a long needed sobriety vacation.  I will no longer pick,  hunt, or even photograph mushrooms. 

But this is not a farewell.  I'll be around,  lurking. Dropping in from time to time to try some IDs.

I want to say thanks to everyone in the Ga  Actives page for all the help.  And to all the trusted identifiers that helped me learn how to ride this magical bicycle.
And especially Doctorghosty. Love you man. 


Good luck to all here and there, I bid you ado.


Much love, 
Corey

Posts like this are the ones that keep me around this beautiful community. Fantastic read and beat wishes to you Corey. I remember finding my first cyan patch like it was yesterday. Still one of the most exhilirating experiences of my life. Nothing more special than your first active find.



My first find ever..

Love everything about this post, except this one line - "I will no longer pick,  hunt, or even photograph mushrooms."   

I am truly happy that you have found what you were searching for.

You find and photograph some really cool fungi.
I appreciate your contributions to this forum, sharing the knowledge you've gained these past months, and your personality/sense of humor.

So even if you don't pick/consume any more psilocybes, please stick around and keep hunting, taking pics and sharing.
You're a valued member of this community.

This is great stuff man! I am really happy to read this. I had a very similar experience and Magic mushrooms played a pivotal role along my journey battling addiction. I remember thinking there is no way to be truly happy with out drinking or taking something. Really I had been using these things to escape uncomfortable feelings. I am not sure I would have been able to see all this (atleast not without years of therapy) without the assistance of "Magic " Mushrooms.

I had to realize "addiction" for me atleast was more of a mental illness then anything else. A cycle... Would start with a thought, then to a feeling, anxiety triggered, creating the urge to well escape. I learned I had to be mindful... meaning aware of what is going on in my mind..., It was all an attempt to have a sense of control when really all I needed was to accept the uncertainty and chaos that is Life. Let go in a sense. Anyway.. Im happy to say I have been "sober" for almost 2 years and I am happier then I have ever been. I wish you nothing but the best! :peace:
