Mushrooms are powerful medicine, the kind that keeps working after the obvious effects are long gone. Sure, you and your friends can take mushrooms and spend the night laughing about how smart the living room carpet is and how awesome that broken faucet sounds...but they can do a whole lot more than that. Properly used (with an experienced guide), they can change your whole life...the way you see things, the way to react to the things you see, and the things you choose not to see (or remember). A sad trip can be far more beneficial than a happy trip. I have not taken 'shrooms in 6 years...before that I needed a drink just to get out of bed. I cannot put the revelations into words (I tried...I wrote over 100 pages and still hadn't described a cornerstone)...but the result is that today I hardly touch alcohol, but it isn't like "recovering alcoholics" in AA or something...I can have JUST ONE beer, and walk away without the need to drink more; without wanting to get drunk; without the desire to drink again the next day. I had planned to go through a similar process for tobacco, but the police arrested my shaman before I got a chance, and now he lives in Canada...and it isn't just the 'shrooms; they are but a tool...the guide is the key.

Great it worked for you this way, alcohol is a very bad drug. Not only because of the alcohol, but even more because of all crap they add to it. I only drink vodka sometimes because it is a very clear liquor and only drink german beer in the summer because the germans have laws for clean beer. Dutch beer like Heineken really su*ks.

the ancient maya, aztecs etc used Psilocybin species for medication, which they knew as 'teonanacatl', translating to 'flesh of the gods'

You are right about the guide. If used for medication a guide is seriously needed. I found one on the internet how to brew the medicine with citron juice etc. Only with a guide I wanted to experiment, not the "I will see what happens without information" way.

Sunshine, Coffee, Rock and Roll, Guns and Drugs... its true.
LCD is king... Shrooms don't even come close
LCD is a felony to have in the US much less produce, which could put you in jail for life.

Trick is learning to turn the brain off and just let it all go... and that's a hard thing to do.
Tell it to stop thinking about everything and nothing... right... stupid runaway train...
Pot helps but it can lead to greater confusion if used too much.

Never ever try to figure life's problems out on drugs... that's not what they are for.
Although they can help you, in the most terrifying ways, understand whats truly important in your life.
Stay the hell away from Meth, Heroin and Alcohol unless you really want to die a horrible death.

Vitamin D, Melatonin and Fish Oil are my magic bullets.
That's what a doctor "prescribed" for me after I refused to take any psychotics from the drug houses.
Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin, is good for the heart, a decent substitute for Sunshine.
Melatonin is a steroid that will calm the body and promote sleep.
Fish Oil is good for vascular circulation (head aches)
Other than pills take long walks in the Sunshine, Drink lots of water and stretch...

Guns are just plain fun.
Nothing brings me back down to earth more after blowing off 300 rounds in a controlled setting.

And Sweet Music... Sweet Music...
Plug me into some Jimi Hendricks and I am one with the Universe!

In the end its all what you make of it.
You are what you do when it counts.
Never Stop.

Alcohol is not a drug, even though the people of the western world is taught that it is.

Alcohol is poison, it creates fear in the subconsciousness of the influenced, and from that fear every action done thereafter still under the influence is subconscious self defence.

The major source for female hornyness is the reminder of vanity; men also to a certain extent, during the influence of alcohol your subconsciousness will believe that you are about to die, and most women and some men will do anything to multiply.

The probable reason for alcohol poisoning to be legal is probably that regret of the hangover.

Never had a bad trip. The worst I had was in the beginning, I thought I was on a kind of house party with all the booming in my head for 3 days. and that was on legal medication from the doctor.... they say Horton's will go away if the patient gets older. Above 50 or so the pain and attacks get less and less. I'm almost 44 so I have to wait a few more years

yeah your body kinda grows out of them i think , although your older i think in time they will go away, have you had your spinal fluid checked? viruses in that and muscles cause headaches to
