There’s a lot of potential in psychedelics, I can’t wait to try any of them mushrooms specifically but it’s just so hard to find a reliable source over here, I’ll be glad if anyone can be of help
Thing is, it’s not ‘addicting’ because you take too much and you’re going to have a hard time.
Also, they’ve been doing studies in Switzerland for years.
If you can’t quit alcohol on your own your just gonna find something else to get addicted to if you don’t fix the addictive mind-state. So we’ll have a bunch of people addicted to shrooms it hey at least
They won’t be drunk behind the wheel they’ll be hallucinating
Mushroom once a year keeps depression away.👍🏼
Alcoholism is not taken seriously enough and I am pretty sure that the government has ways of helping but they don't care. If this was was supposedly in the 70s proven to be helpful, THEN WHY IS IT NOT BEING DONE?
🤣 yeah right. When will it be available to more people. Whenever they go to their local mushroom dealer. You don't cure a drug problem by taking more drugs. That sounds like addict thinking to me.
Can these mushrooms work for a person addicted to sugar???
I'm an alcoholic. I have managed to cut my drinking down to the weekends only but man, addiction sucks. I quit meth completely, 4 months clean on that. I really want to quit drinking. It has ruined my life. Not to mention it's a colossal waste of money.
Richard Nixon's administration is responsible for our lag in understanding and scientific study with this potential miracle….
Nixon waged war on a substance that promotes empathy and kindness that makes for an uncomfortable political position when waging a war that continued on due to his sabotaging peace talks during Johnson's administration.
So you take a mind altering drug to cure your addiction to another mind altering drug. WTF! Wake up people!
Also helps with seizures. Won't matter. It'll never be legal.
Sounds like old John was frying balls 😳

On telegram¿
I'll refer you to this channel where I got mine delivered discreetly***¿¿¿
Yes,because methadone treatments for heroin addiction worked so well.
i mean.. yeah, it'll treat a lot of mental health conditions including mental addiction, doubt it'll do anything for physical addiction, but yeah.. i could see how going on a micro trip would help with a great deal of issues, it could lead to breakthroughs in therapy.. among others…
A massive mental health crisis is coming cuz of this…
Don’t tell the government
No brainer…
Poison yourself to save yourself. Who needs kidneys!
I better start drinking.
I would believe it. MJ helped me to quit alcohol, four years ago now. Saved my life.
You never know…
Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson are going crazy over this news.
Only Alcohol Addiction???
When you gain an addiction to psychedelics, you will then need to take fentanyl as a cure.
I wish we could be trusted as adults to be able to make our own decisions, it's annoying asl.
Please legalize mushrooms🍄
And smoking!
👆👆Just look up that handle, he ship Swiftly, and he got shrooms, dmt, Ayahuasca,Lsd, salva,indica,keta,oxy,mmda, Psilocybin infused chocolate bar🍫🍄
First mushrooms are bad now they're good. Pick a lane science!
Proof here, that the public having them is a criminal offense, the the Pharmaceutical industry can use them for profit.
…where is the logic in that?
It really does work. I have depression since I was a child also bipolar and anxiety and much more I started taking mushrooms about 6 months ago and I have been great I no longer take any psych medications mental health treatment in the US is horrible I'm so happy I found psilocybin it saved my life.
