Wanted to post an update on my previous thread on weed/psychedelics and depression/anxiety.

I have seen massive benefits from both. Weed is helpful as a quick fix, a la Xanax. I am not a big believer in daily use, but as-needed it is great.

Psilocybin is really where I see the biggest benefits. I have taken them 5-6 times in the last 15 months and continue to have big benefits. Within a day or two, you notice improvement (largely due to the neuroplasticity that lasts 7 days). These benefits seem to only increase with time and semi-regular use.

I have not tried ketamine, but my sister says it changed her life. She has tried weed twice and shrooms once, but claims neither had a significant impact. She says she likely isn’t alive without ketamine. She did 8 treatments over 8 weeks a year ago, and has done 1 follow up treatment since. My girlfriend is also a therapist at a clinic that also does ketamine. She also buys into the benefits 100%, but hasn’t tried it yet.

TL;DR - I post this because these substances have helped me significantly with my depression and anxiety since my divorce. I would recommend them to anyone that is struggling. Personally, I think everyone should try psilocybin at least once, regardless of mental health. I’m happy to answer as many questions as I can.
