Is anyone really surprised cannabis use surged? Like with legalization you would think it would have that cause and effect.
Im glad psychedelic use surged. Makes you see reality differently and can be amazing for mental health issues which needs to be utilized. Fuck the war on drugs
Alcohol can go away though but it’s hard when there is quite literally no future to be seen
This hits hard.
Same here. Might as well surf the piss till you find the light at the end of the tube.
I would still be on SSRIs if it wasn’t for my magic mushies, and they’ve done better than SSRIs ever did.
I've started growing some for this exact purpose. How do you dose and what form do you take them?
0.25g every other day via ground mush in capsules. Good luck growing! It’s kinda fun too!
I recommend starting with actual trips before getting into micro dosing. Start with a low to moderate dose and wait at least two weeks before trips. Good luck, enjoy the journey!
Feel it out. I'd say 0.25g.
I want to use mushrooms again but I went on SSRIs. They changed my life for the better and without them I probably wouldn't have tried an SSRI. Mushrooms seem better. I only did low doses but went through about an oz of shrooms over the time I used them.
I grow my own and usually come up with enough capsules for a year.
I became an alcoholic.
It's a shitty drug.
Probably will when they legalize the other things.
Alcohol will remain my favorite drug until they come out with drugs that are more fun than alcohol.
I've done just about everything but heroin, and whole heroin does seem really fun, the externalities are too big to ignore.
Several cities (including my own) and Oregon have decriminalized hallucinogenic mushrooms so it is not a huge surprise that rates increased.
I mean I agree the war on drugs and the way it’s policed is not the right call. But after looking at what’s happening in Oregon. Not sure I’m totally for just straight up legalize all the things. OD rates are up, and apparently it’s quite common for folks to be nodding off all over the place. It’s not the psechedelics like marijuana and lsd, it’s the synthetic opioids and harder drugs like heroin doing real damage.

Does anyone have a way to read the article without an account?
Oregon was setup to fail with it. The US is setup to fail right now. We can’t even agree that addiction is a mental health issue and should be addressed with therapy vs jail. Fentanyl will never be solved, let’s be real. Feds help bring it in.
Now if you set up clinics for people to do drugs safely AND gave them access to clean drugs it’s a completely different story.
It’s also not like that is unique to Oregon. Go to Seattle and you’ll see tons of people nodding and OD rates are higher everywhere

I should have included the archive link
Just like how the people in the US are surprised how many people are willing to say "I'm queer" now that queer people have a voice.
