I really appreciate you and others who have shared such stories. I used to be

so vehemently against marijuana in every shape or form, but have radically changed my views over the years thanks to CBers like yourself. Thank you so much for your openness and candor. It makes me happy to know the good place you are in and why and how.

Mental health benefits from weed and psychedelics

Glad you found relief

pegushin

Me too. It felt like there wasn’t a solution for so long, which is why I shared

HookEmCoug

I've never smoked weed, and can't see a situation where I would.

They are very different for sure

Nice man.. glad you are doing better

Agreed. I think the next decade + will be huge for mental health advancements

Thanks for sharing. I think many here could definitely benefit from someone like

I hadn’t seen this but this is amazing. Thanks for sharing!

To clarify your third to last paragraph...you DO or DO NOT rarely use marijuana?

Iman23

1/17/22 3:55pm

Good catch! I rarely do anymore. I will probably always keep it in my back

I'm glad you found relief and thank you for staying.

I hate to see people "smoking" it often. The smoke is just as bad or worse than tobacco smoke when it comes to health.

lightmann

1/17/22 4:00pm

I think he mentioned consuming in edibles

pegushin

1/17/22 4:05pm

Yeah, he mentioned both. More just a health commentary on my part.

lightmann

1/17/22 4:45pm

Edibles are great but they take 30-60 min to kick in and last a long time

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:08pm

They are also spiky. Most people don't like that feeling of not having control.

Pro Logic

Just like with psychedelics, set and setting is so important. If you are looking

Just saw this above. Awesome stuff! I don’t think it should be bought at stores

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:11pm

I think from a naturopathic focus, there have been studies done on micro dosing psilocybin and their impact on helping

specsauce

Happy for you. Causes me to reflect on RichieRich. Wonder if this treatment

Big Daddy D

1/17/22 4:08pm

what happened to him?

SingleStrapBackpack

1/17/22 4:14pm

Super severe depression took him out.

Big Daddy D

1/17/22 4:25pm

Dang. Suicide? That's horrible if so.

SingleStrapBackpack

1/17/22 4:26pm

I don’t know his situation, but ideally we don’t have to wonder these things in

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:40pm

I wouldn't feel comfortable taking either, but am glad you got relief.

byujdmba

1/17/22 4:09pm

If I were depressed to the point of contemplating suicide I would not hesitate

Big Daddy D

1/17/22 4:11pm

That was my thinking. Worst case is I die, which felt like what would happen if

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:13pm

Understood. Glad and lucky i've never been there.

byujdmba

1/17/22 4:17pm

Understand 100%. Anything that affects the brain scares me.

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:16pm

Psilocybin is promising. Weed numbs/dulls pain just like alcohol in the short

valleus

1/17/22 4:12pm

Somewhat disagree on the marijuana being like alcohol point

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:22pm

I think there is some therapeutic benefit to weed. But I also worry about

Jstak17

1/17/22 4:45pm

Agree 100%. Don’t think it should be given to kids

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:59pm

Disagree weed when used properly can lead to introspection and open ones mind

Cabadapeste

1/17/22 4:54pm

My son uses weed since he hasn't insurance. Said it's very helpful for his

jlhazlewood

1/17/22 4:13pm

I’m glad you are feeling better. I definitely don’t think it’s for everyone

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:29pm

Just curious but is psilocybin considered safe and where do you get these drugs?

Don Carlton

1/17/22 4:24pm

Yes it’s safe from the standpoint you won’t die from taking too much

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 4:36pm

I think they should better studied, understood, regulated, produced, & sold.

Spiff

1/17/22 4:59pm

Agreed. It’s pretty crazy the detail that already exists

HookEmCoug

1/17/22 5:04pm

I would love to hear how it strengthened your testimony. Seriously.

Same part of the brain is active on hallucinogens as during spiritual experience

Kind of hard to explain but you basically transcend this life and society

There is some REALLY interesting treatment research on psychedlics
