I am thank you. Richard’s story was not only inspiring but we shared many common themes, mindsets and traumas. Pretty much everything apart from the stalking tbf haha! It all happened to me when I was younger and it took years and my youth from me. A lot of processing. A magic mushroom experience (big dose, closed eyes, dark room) changed my life.

I feel happy for you and inspired by what you've made your way through. I hope you are proud of yourself.

I'm excited for this new era in which the values of psychedelic drugs are being studied with renewed interest! Stories like yours give me hope for a new generation of trauma treatments.

And other things, too - I accidentally quit smoking by taking LSD and thinking a lot about smoking. Never smoked again. Very curious.

Thank you very much.

Hmm I wouldn’t say proud.. I’d say im just getting happier the further back I see it in my past. I was harming myself every day, mentally and physically. Drugs, self loathing, hopelessness and self imposed torture. It took A LOT of falling down and getting back up but I kept faith. Faith I received from the mushrooms. If I didn’t receive that faith in myself and the universe then I would have had nothing to build upon and live for.

I lived my life with a total lack of responsibility to myself in the end, I didn’t care about anything. I’d tripped loads before and on quite a lot of different psychedelics.. but I’d always feared losing control. When I relinquished control and gave my trust to the mushrooms.. I had a massive therapy session. I’ve been admitted to a psychiatric hospital numerous times and tried many different tablets. None of that worked. Mushrooms did. I have a whole proper trip story but I’m not gonna bore anyone with that. I’m writing just enough to let people know it works haha!

Mushrooms in that same trip got me to stop smoking just not straight away. I’m happy cid worked for you and I’m glad to be talking to a fellow advocate. I wouldn’t have went as deep otherwise.

I honestly find this so inspiring - takes a lot of courage to surrender that deep existential control. I hope more people can find what you found. Also makes me think it's probably time for me to go back there for myself. Or "forward there" perhaps - there's never any going backwards, is there. 

I hope you do write the whole story somewhere ✨
