Hmmm. Why did you have to take a drug though? Were you already comfortable with being friends with drug users?

Despite what the government says, a lot of drugs aren't that bad for you. Relatively speaking that is.

While that is true, there should be harm prevention in place and better education in place. I do some mushrooms, acid and MDMA once maybe every 6 months which is beneficial and taken with caution and knowledge. If you are them all the time you will lose all the benefits from them. I also smoke a little weed but I find when I have possession of too much I will smoke it for the sake of smoking it and it too loses any benefit. Particularly weed I find holds me back from getting in a better life situation due to the contentment to just sweep problems under the rug it gives me.

When I took shrooms, the hardest drug I took previously was weed. Treatment for my PTSD has plateaued and I had not recovered to my own satisfaction. I had read some research about how shrooms could be used to treat PTSD, and was desperate since meds and therapy were no longer giving me progress. I started growing them, microsodosing with one macrodose, during COVID furlough. The effects were amazing. They helped me push past some of the roadblocks in my PTSD recovery (the big one being unable to relate and form bonds with others). They really can be used as medicine.

Glad it worked for you! How's the pupils when microdosing?

They would get bigger but not saucer-like. Definitely bigger on big dose though. I would microdose at work after furlough and if anyone noticed it, they never said anything. I have naturally large pupils anyway though, at least according to the opthalmologist.

Why wouldn’t someone be? Drug user =/= life ruining addict.
