Drug Policy

I consumed alcohol in large amounts along with a host of other drugs during my teen years. The 2 times I tried mushrooms (very far apart from each other) I was completely under the influence at 6 to 8 beers in. 1st dose of mushroom tea, didn't want anymore alcohol and after a night of being on them (no bad experiences), the very next day I didn't want anything to do w/alcohol, no withdrawals just ready to move on and feeling great.

Of course not being able to get out of my living situation after a long time I started drinking again, and the second time, the same experience.

PTSD never truly leaves you so after years of working 60 hour weeks, having the drive sucked out of me by a fucked up greedy ass game industry, the final straw was having my job off shored and no job to go to (as I put myself through school for the game industry), I started drinking again. I'm in a better place than I was right when the last straw broke the camels back. But I'm drinking again and I want to stop, but the pain I've lived with all my life makes it downright difficult to go cold turkey. Yes I've done AAA, working out, all the options but I would kill for a cup of psilocybin tea. I've quite everything cold turkey including cigarettes (fucking tough). But that witching our comes and I must have a glass.

Still doing what I can but this wouldn't be an issue if had access to mushrooms. A decade plus of working 60 hours a week and only getting paid for 40, with no bonuses can make one a little grumpy over time. At 48, I can make this the last time if i had a chance.



It worked for me I guess.

PS. Cannabis is awesome for long term PTSD. Takes you from going out of control to a more deliberate acknowledgment of the situation and have something to calm you down instead of blowing your top. IMHO
