RE: Treasure Hunters, Accidental Philosophers, and the Hidden Benefit of Recreational Psychedelic Use
I wish I could get into medicinal mushroom & other psychedelics. I live in Oregon where several mushroom varieties grow wild, so it's ridiculous that they can't be enjoyed without me having to risk living in a cage to get them.
As someone with mental disorders, instinctively I feel as if they'd help me. I was able to try something recently & while I didn't trip, my attention span improved. 😻 My brain changes thoughts like someone channel surfing, only I'm not the one controlling the remote. It still happens, but it's not as obtrusive & I've gained a level of focus I didn't have before. What a blessing, I'm so gratefulful & that was just with one use. Huge quality of life increase.
Thankfully cannabis is legal & cheap here, but I just feel more "normal" the higher I get. I envy people that get to go on inner journeys, level up & gain new perspectives & super powers.

Haha Yeah I always had to feel like an outlaw getting them. You used to be able to order San Pedro online without anyone asking questions but it is hard to get a good trip off of it and I don't know if the laws have changed.
I did also always notice greater focus after using psychedelics. I like cannabis but it does tend and it helps with a lot of things but it can backfire on me if it happens to be a really stoney strain because it will make me super sleepy.
I think progress is coming but it will be a few years before we see anything solid. There are rumblings about legalizing mushrooms in a few states and if we keep pushing for it one of them will give in.
