Alright to start this post I want to make clear that I actually think higher end dosages (5 grams of dried high quality Psilocybe cubensis - Magic Mushrooms) can be beyond beneficial.

The changes in perception, feelings, and so forth can open up radical self-discovery. It can impact how you know and relate to self, other, and reality itself.

BUT this kind of an experience can be very "hard". It can come sometimes with an immense body and mental "struggle" that many find challenging if not in some cases terrifying.

It can also take a lot of time to do integration work on those kind of huge revelations and shifts experienced. It is not uncommon to hear from knowledgeable posters speaking about 2-3 years to come to a brief grasp of the immensities experienced.

I know there is a mystique with psychedelics in general and in particular heroic dosages. Changing conscious experience itself is wild stuff let's be honest.

But when you come into these journeys with no prior experience and frankly a lacking maturity level it is way to often to see posts then demonizing psychedelics and or fungi because of frankly sheer hubris and stupidity.

Or acting like a fool and affirming psychedelic stigma in a time when we are really close to some major breakthroughs in decriminalization and maybe even legalization movements.

This is a time to realize that your actions have impacts not only on yourself, others, but also the movement as a whole.

So please just grow in your knowledge and experience and in general be kind to yourself and others. This is what it is all about :)

Plus Psilocybe cubensis and other varieties of Magic Mushrooms can be great for things other than psychonaut level experiences.

You can enjoy microdosing for health benefits related to depression, anxiety, and other ailments or just an enrichment of your day to day experience (We don't know a ton of this area yet so let's not treat it like a miracle cure, although for some it really is).

Also headache conditions it's shown a lot of promise :)

Or you can use it recreationally to enjoy some great times with friends but not at the levels in which you start deconstructing conventionality, concepts, and conditionality itself Lol

All in all let's have a great time with some really magical fungi and practice some self-care :)

Also to everyone who constantly helps with dosing advisement, helping care for those that maybe were a bit foolish, and in general just educating people on the facts you are all amazing and what makes the community so impactful!

(Side note, The chocolate bars and other products are usually just fakes and or research chemicals! Grow your own! It's a fun hobby and not that expensive! /r/unclebens and https://www.shroomery.org/

Lastly Magic Mushrooms if done right I think remind you of the magic of this life :) That this reality is trippy and there isn't a need for changes in chemical states for that to be the case.
