That’s interesting to know. Though, I do feel that it is better to be self-reliant than to rely on external methods; more lasting that way.
I can appreciate the mention of mushrooms as a possible aid in mood change but considering that ”magic” mushrooms and their spores are illegal to own and illegal to grow, I don’t think it’s a very realistic tool. Mushrooms are incredibly intense and produce shattering experiences that could only be called mystical - but while the effects may cause one to feel more open emotionally - it is a far cry from anything that really addresses the core of the problem. It provides more questions than answers.
