  16. magic mushrooms and Colorado fudge brownie's… so lets keep on dancing. 😁 and smile a lot. Woody Allen Sleeper magic ball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oDEe2PNsJU

  17. By taking a pill of a drug called psilocybin – the active chemical in "magic mushrooms" – people experience a "trip". Patients first undergo behavioral cognitive therapy to prepare them for the psilocybin session. Therapy helps solidify a subject's intention, like quitting smoking

  18. I quit for good it has been 6 m
    Months now when u smell it i.say I use to do this it smells.awful I thank.the God above for helping me

  19. try cocaine that helps even more

  20. This is where you apply…
    Don't believe everything on social media!

  21. the thing about shrooms or even LSD is that although it can help you break from (any) depression as well as addiction…. it's heavily depending on your current mind state considering Shrooms and LSD are sensory and perception inducers-and i have to judge based on working with shrooms as well as THC,etc with many other all natural medicinal herbs.

    i would never recommend to listen to information from people that aren't healthy or knowledgeable about this psychedelic based on the sensitivity of the drug.

    I've looked at shrooms and LSD users that are not healthy….yet i don't see many that are and that's judgment is based off the lifestyle,mindset with assets all together of that individual.

    yet whenever you are looking for advanced people that live according for dosages,types and qualities…you now found a plug.

    you want to work with psychedelics when comfortable and not ever worried about the issues of anxiety when wanting to experiment.

    i think that anyone wanting to even experiment actually to think about it prior to taking due to shrooms lasting usually a minimum of 4 hrs.

    you have to really treat yourself with psychedelics and instead of chocolate , professional shroomers eat them raw or put they in teas.

    you don't take Kool aid with medicine do you?

  22. They put a stop to a long time of Alcohol abuse.

  23. Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here

  24. Magic mushrooms have been around for hundreds of years and take a few and smoke some a cig is par , pretty sure it's just a ad for mushrooms

  25. DISCLAIMER…because someone….I don't endorse any of these powerful medicines for anybody especially the Hempen Harold Hill Sales Men that just jumped on my Wells Fargo Wagon. I'm US Army Chaplain School alumni, researched Native American spirituality at Princeton. Ordained Orthodox Deacon. in other words the real deal. Russia has its Starets. USA has Medicine Men. Same thing. Better ceremony drugs. DONT TRY THIS if your inexperienced amateur or bad person.

  26. One bad habit for a worse one lol

  27. What? Magic mushrooms? Not sure I want to know the psychedelic effects of this. Not interested in getting addicted to magic mushrooms.
