they sell psilocybin gummies, ranging from weak to 4.5g per. The ones i've tried were "3 is a normal dose, 6 is space jam, 1 is a nice afternoon off." I took one, and it did make everything a little brighter, birds sweeter sounding, and everything seemed a little bit better for a while. But i don't trust the manufacturers, so i only tried 1 pack over a couple of weeks.

anyhow 1-25mg is a pretty small does if 5g is considered a hero dose per siblings.

I haven't tried tons of nootropics like this, but i have tried Kanna, Kratom, psilocybin, CBD, delta-9 THC, THC-P, hydrogenated THC, salvia, and i'm probably forgetting a lot. Belladonna, that's one i tried before, for example. just came to me.

I don't do "hard" drugs, though, never have, no desire to. I do like plants, though.

Used to work at a dreary sweatshop where breaks amounted to smoking outside while staring at eachother, they used biometrics and software to track your KPIs , you'd get diarrhea from workplace food and departments had various beefs with each other.

Switched jobs to an international car manufacturer where people would greet eachother, drop their guards and have fun working together.

I got this exact feeling! The sky was more blue, flowers were more colorful, birds more chirpy, halls brighter and people smiled. Lasted for five months.

I've heard similar from people who didn't know they had vision issues, saw an eye specialist, received glasses, and went outside and actually saw for the first time in their lives how pretty everything outside is (offer not valid in some areas, other restrictions may apply). Most of them break down in tears from the sheer emotion, that i've known and seen videos of.

The mushroom thing isn't so earth-moving. It's like you have a deck of trading cards, and you take a gummy, and now all your cards look almost like foil cards. Shimmery, just on the peripheral, and since I personally was trying to experience good things, i was able to pay more attention to the birds and stuff.

It's almost like a placebo that gives you permission to not worry and to just experience for a short while.

While your sweatshop sucked, without that experience you maybe wouldn't appreciate the car manufacturer job experience as much, and it mightn't not have made you think to post at all.

I dunno, i'm getting real soft in my mid-life.

Yeah no it's fine, the only thing I've learned is that some things are better left unexperienced.
