Peace and love, brother DJ Ed
For me, while the euphoric trips were incredible, my heroic dose really made me realize some things about myself that I didn't realize were bringing me down. I think my general attitude and happiness has improved as a result of what I was forced to see. And even as i was seeing it, and it was very unpleasant, I had a a strong feeling that I had to go through it in order to understand myself in a better way and become a happier person.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I've never been afflicted by depression or had any reason to believe life isn't worth living.

Watched a brand new Dennis McKenna interview last night on London Real where Dennis explained exactly why mushrooms are non-addictive. He went further when Brian Rose asked him; “when we travelled down to Costa Rica, why did we take ayahuasca, and not cocaine, heroine, mdma, cannabis” etc. Dennis explained that with mushrooms / psychedlics, contrary to other drugs where you have an up followed by a down, with psychedelics you get the pain before and during a trip; the “up” comes after the drug has worn off.
Fascinating stuff. Go check it out: London Real; Dennis McKenna
That sounds awesome! I couldn't get your link to work, so here's the same thing on youtube. Skip to around 4:26 to get past the weird "intro".

That's generally how it works.

Thanks for posting that, rido. I registered with London Real a few years back, in order to get the second part of the videos, but it’s a real sod sometimes trying to watch them from Londonreal.tv! And I’d promised Korean Jesus I’d post a YouTube link as soon as I spotted it. You’ve beat me to it, so thanks; and there you go KJ 👍🏻

Hmm that actually sounds plausible, KJ. Yes I’ve suffered depression for years, and am still working hard, now with mushrooms, to change my perspective. I am getting there, but a euphoric trip for me does provide useful lessons. I have benefited from higher doses of mushrooms, but they really take it out of me such that I need an extended break afterwards to integrate the teachings. I find the after glow on lower doses at more frequent intervals, at this moment in my self-treatment, is really beneficial and therapeutic. I accept it may not be treating the causes of my depression, but it is helping with day to day emotional well-being. The hope is that when I do a high dose, once or twice a year, I get valuable lessons that I can work with, as I then return to lower, frequent, “maintenance” doses.
But get this, KJ. If and when I get to a point in my learnings where my depression is effectively cured, I would still take mushrooms; I see nothing wrong with taking mushrooms just to have an interesting evening. For me it’s as useful and fun as reading a book; no difference doing something safe that doesn’t harm yourself or others.
Mush love, DJ Ed

If you have bipolar (like me) there's no real cause for the depression that can be remedied - so the fact that tripping resets my cycle to the happy phase is invaluable IME.
But beyond that I just effing enjoy them and all the cool shit that they bring to my life.

For many years, I’ve been convinced I have bipolar, but according to the medical professionals, not; I was diagnosed with clinical depression many years ago when I was seeing a stop smoking councillor at about age 25. Up until that point, I didn’t know I was depressed, it was just normal life to me and I got on with it.
But apart from that, PrimalSoup, you have just described me 👊🏻
Mush love, DJ Ed

I don't always agree with you but I always respect your opinion. But this right here is some truth. I Battle depression and addiction every day. In my worst moments i get fucked up in the head enough to think about death and having control of when it happens. When I am in the head space where living is scarier than death ill eat some big doses. I once had a 6 hour full body orgasm on a handful of mush I didn't bother putting on the scales. It tonight me exactly what you said. Life is worth living out. You never know when the next full body orgasm is just around the corner
