It's nice to read a positive article regarding the effects of psychedelics.
I have heard it postulated before that they can help with depression but you don't often see the related data. I've never personally had a bad experience with shrooms if fact quite the opposite. Experimenting in my youth both at home and overseas was quite liberating and got me thinking literally outside the box and in recent years have looked into the links to our ancient past and the use of these naturally occurring drugs. It appears than many in the ancient world used them as a gateway to other world's, what these worlds were I couldn't say but anyone who has has a 'good trip' in a controlled environment will surely know what it may entail. Makes you wonder what will be revealed in the future if proper study is undertaken with the goal to unlocking our minds potential is the aim.
Thanks for sharing you personal insights buddy.
