Me personally? I use them as a tool to aid my attempts in penetrating and experientially knowing the empty nature of all phenomena and examining it real-time, present moment, as mutually co-arising and interdependently originated- especially as we / it unfolds instant by instant, atom by atom, via the unbroken chain of cause and effect as witnessed through awareness imbued space-time.
So if I’m being honest, I find them quite difficult and challenging. But Allowing myself to have a waking lucid dream where the mind becomes like a wish fulfilling tree or like a genie, has thus far proven to be worthwhile and wholesome - nightmare trips and all.
It seems like what we know about psychedelics so far is just the tip of the tip of the tip of an iceberg , or akin to dipping ones toes in the proverbial limitless ocean.
We are explorers of space, of the oceans, of knowledge+ wisdom , and of land, so why not this mysterious wonder of Mind as well?
As For others, I don’t know... They will tell you. Just Wait for them to chime in.
And how about you? What’s your take?

No shit!
I don't really get off feeling like I'm dying all while flopping around like a fish out of water as I examine all those moments of when I could have been more compassionate towards others whom I love.
If it were all just colors and flowers, I would be all for some mushrooms, but fuck, they are terrifying!

I love dropping acid. Don’t like mushrooms, or, at least, I feel some trepidation wading into those waters. Yet something keeps me coming back. I view them more as tools.
The other people I know who do this seem to get something more out of it, seems more motivated by some form of inquiry or philosophical interest.

I love mushrooms. I am apprehensive before dosing them 90% of the time because I know it is more than likely going to have some serious moments that I wont be able to ignore. It is an excursion, a challenge, that I view similar to an intense workout or hike.
LSD is incredible too. I find that LSD can be quite challenging for me, but seems like some other folks find it an easier ride.

MUSHROOMS ARE FOR THE DEVIL MOMMA.
Kind of a silly question buddy. Why do people like running? Why do people like swimming? Why do people like skydiving?
Everyone's different. Everyone has their own personality and can do what they please. I'm sure you have your choice of whatever you like to do - and maybe people here wonder why on earth you choose that.
If it's not for you... then it's simply not for you...

I have not had one single trip where I've just ate mushrooms without thinking about it. I'm the same exact way. It's like signing a waver saying "fuck me up if you'd like". Lol.
If I didn't take mushrooms every time I contemplated taking mushrooms.. I would have zero trips under my belt. Though.. after the experience really starts to kick in.. all of that anxiety and fear melts away - and that's when my trip really begins.
Then midtrip - "I wish I had taken more". Never fails. But can never bring that mindset back into when I'm sober and going to take them again

On those recently rare trips where it is euphoric and transcendental, especially as vibe says and the anxiety has peaked and subsided, I want nothing more than to share the experience. I want the whole world to discover these wonderful chemicals.
But then I wake up and realise this is a very niche hobby that isn’t for everybody.

It really is one of those love hate relationships... I am all for the love n laughter they can bring, but not so fond of the evil they can manifest.
Also the mushrooms come from the earth, no human hand needs to tweak it for a psychedelic affect. Just eat them and away you go.

They are like a reset button that breaks up some of your rigid thought paths that have formed. They give you a chance to step back and be more objective and examine your thoughts and yourself and the things you may not even know you are doing and to rewire in a healthier way. Sometimes I can even view myself from other people's perspective as if I were them.
A friend of mine likens it to trimming a tree of dead branches, things you no longer need to hold onto can be dealt with, accepted or come to terms with and discarded to no longer impede your growth.
Also, they are great for exploration of the mind and the arts... ESPECIALLY MUSIC!
I LIKE TO BECOME THE MUSIC! LOL

I do get off feeling like I'm dying all while flopping around like a fish out of water. I love mushrooms even when they give me a hard time (at least in retrospect, while tripping I might disagree ). OP you didn't say if you've tried them or not, you can never understand why people do them if you don't try it yourself. But only if you do the research and know if they're suitable for you.

Honestly pretty much. That's what I've really been realizing lately. I may have some terrible introspective trips and put myself down and think what a POS I feel like I am.....
But after the trip I feel the complete opposite. I feel reborn. I feel accomplished. I feel like I just eon a race. It's very odd. Because I just came from somewhere that was so dark and come out feeling enlightened. Though, I always feel like I'm going to stuck thinking negatively of myself while in the trip.
Lately the mushrooms have been really good at calling me out on my bullshit so my trips have been difficult, but rewarding. Just have been really having to puff my chest out before taking them recently.

love them, and lysergamides initially I feel sick then I feel more me than ordinarily, like I have come home. I get a few hours of being myself and then come down, it's ok to be normal. a few days later I can do it again and come home. (it's where I live as a child perhaps - certainly decorated with souvenirs from childhood and later dreamscapes)
when straight I am home but not really home when stoned I recognize that I am home. I also connect better with my people - I have more patience.
it's the essence of home. not really but yes, a natural place to relax and commune with what is. do I like it? I love it. I dose moderately, not into escalation or exploring limits.

since life is all about adjustments, it's all good IMO

My first 8g dose I had the feeling of being home and at peace. It's a good reset for me, life can thin you out so it's nice to have a tool that can bring me back to base.
