My last experience was in 2007. I had direct contact with God. Very profound and spiritual experience. My trip was in the town of Mendocino on the north coast.

I extremely disapprove and hate all drug users.

"Crucially, the nature of the music experience was significantly predictive of reductions in depression 1 week after psilocybin, whereas general drug intensity was not."

In clinical trials, which are currently showing dramatic improvements in patient wellbeing, the typical protocol is to lay down with a blindfold and headphones on and listen to a musical playlist (like https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/articles/2020/10/inside-the-johns-hopkins-psilocybin-playlist) .

I have to concur that this is the most effective way to use psychedelics, if what you are interested in is personal growth. I took shrooms a number of times when I was younger with friends, typically outdoors. It would be euphoric and fun, but ultimately it was just an experience and I didn't take anything away from it.

Cultures which had these substances developed rituals quite similar to the current therepeautic model for a reason, I believe. Anyway, that is just my two cents. If you do a pscyhedelic again, I would encourage you to do a trip like that!

Check out as much from Terence McKenna on YT as you can & try it the “traditional” manner.

-5g on an empty stomach in silent darkness.

Weigh them out. Chew them up. Lay down, be sill, close your eyes, & hold on!

Takes 1.5 hr until the peak. Once you think you just can’t stand it any longer it’ll be over & you’ll want to share everything with others. Don’t! Lay back down & relax.You cannot get off in the presence of another person.

The visions (visual & auditory) will come at you only when you relax & have zero external sensory input.

This is the therapeutic dose that heals trauma you don’t know you had, neurotically & spiritually.

Neurologically*.. yea neurotically as well 😅.

I’ve been micro dosing at work & it’s basically worthless. 5g, 1x/yr is enough to reset your system.
