for your help. Not for promoting drug use. Both of you did neither.
Mushrooms are a part of the earth. Many things in nature are right there for the picking to help us. Psilocybe mushrooms are of medicinal properties in the same way as chamomile, or yarrow, or many of the other herbs that we grow that our ancestors(some of ours) knew would treat our ailments. Why a natural substance is illegal is because of close minded beaurocrats who are afraid of you to have something that might make you think, and open up your mind. It's all a form of control, and the big drug companies have their hand in these laws as well. They dont' want you to take a natural substance when you can take a synthetic one that most times cause side effects.
If offering advice about psilocybe mushrooms is pushing drugs, then we are all guilty of pushing drugs. Look at the posts that offer advice on verapamil and lithium, etc. It's advice, not pushing drugs.
It may not have worked for me, but i believe it can work for many who want to try to stop being in pain. Maybe it was desperation that drove me to it, but i'm glad i tried, and i'll try again.
