All this hype about Psilocybin and my experience

Posted by denise1904 on May 23, 2022, at 11:20:57

With all this hype about Psilocybin, I'm just wondering how many people on this board have tried it.

Around 6 years ago I was accepted on a study for Psilocybin at the Imperial College and then backed out as I was feeling anxious about it.

I then changed my mind and tried to get on another study but didn't meet the criteria.

So, I managed to get hold of Magic Mushrooms. Being quite nervous about taking them, I took them with a male friend (who had taken them before).

I came off SSRIs for about four days as I wanted to be completely clean when I took them.

That evening I was all set for the experience with my friend. I took a small amount to start with and felt nothing, so took some more and still felt nothing, so eventually I was eating bowl fulls of Shrooms until I started to have visuals and feel like I was tripping.

I didn't have any mystical experiences on it, I had a good time, couldn't stop laughing and felt like a huge weight just dropped from my chest. But that was it. The next day I felt back to normal, with the same low feelings.

I've also tried LSD with my friend since then. Again I seemed to have to take massive amounts compared to my friend to get the same affect as him (who by the way is 6ft 3 and built like a brick house where as I'm slender and 5'5. I had no mystical experiences on LSD either, nor did I remember events from my childhood that might have triggered off depression and anxiety in later years. However, my friend has this cross legged Budha in his statue and I could see tears rolling down the face of the statue and this immense feeling of sadness about the world and yet acceptance. I felt that I could have reached out and touched those tears.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas why this is? Also, wondering if anyone has tried Shrooms and felt that it has helped their depression.

I read this hype about Psilocybin now and they make it sound like the cure all, Like it somehow erradicates depression and anxiety and heals you completely. I long for this kind of cure (as I imagine most people on this board do) and so it was so disappointing for it not to work for me. I'm asking myself should I try and get on a proper study or does the fact that I've tried large amounts of Shrooms with little success indicate that I wouldn't be a psilocybin trial responder.
