RE: Saying Goodbye: A Heroic Dose (P2)
Really great trip report! I've also been writing about psilocybin, my experiences, and how they've helped me cope with combat/family-related PTSD and depression, precisely for the profound experience you've typed out, quite well, I must say! (My site http://matthewghayes.com/category/blog/mushroom-diaries/) I haven't fully migrated to Steemit quite yet, but am working on it! It's time to change the narrative of psychedelics and elevate them from the basement of juvenile thinking. As a combat vet, I want to teach, show others, not just combat vets, that there are alternatives, there is relief, and it grows in nature! As much as possible, I'll be weaving the published science of it all while weaving into the context of my experiences. I'm currently microdosing with psilocybin, and will have a full write-up of the experience in the coming month, when I finish the protocol. It's been life changing to say the least. Looking forward to more from you.
thanks for sharing that. I have heard that psilocybin and other natural hallucinogenics can help with PTSD and other mental health conditions/responses, but its nice to hear about it from a direct source. Its great that you are using your experience to help others as well - thats really great. Generally speaking, talking about psychedelics (and their associated experiences) openly, reduces the stigma surrounding them, like you suggested. Keep spreading the good news/vibes :)
