    The fact that psychedelic drugs like mushrooms and LSD aren’t as dangerous as media and politics make them out to be.

    They are actually among the physically safest drugs out there, even when including caffeine and sugar. They can be used in so many ways for self-improvement and treating depressions, anxiety, PTSD and many other conditions.

    The book ‘How to change your Mind’ by Michael Pollan is a wonderful read on the topic.

        true kindness would be to not demonise and ban entheogentic medicines with thousands of years of contemporary peer review in the sickening pursuit of corporate greed

        LSD and psylocibin work very similarly, they even have cross-tolerance. Schizophrenia and psychosis are some of the few risks you need to watch out for when handling psychedelics. If there is a predisposition present like mental illlnesses running in the family, psychedelics may act as a trigger for those and should be avoided or handled very carefully.

        Also there is no documented overdose with LSD and psylocybe mushrooms either, even with doses as high as hundreds or thousands of recreational doses.
