Reddit reviews How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence

You should read How To Change Your Mind.

The chapters dealing with depression and anxiety really blew my mind and may shed some light on whats going on when you dose.

P S Y C H E D E L I C S will get you clean off any other substance.

1. Set an intention for your trip. "I want to get clean." Write it down. Put it in your pocket. This is commonly referred to as the Set, or mindset, of a trip.
   
2. Bring an item of personal significance into the trip.
   
3. Be in a comfortable place. This is commonly referred to as Setting of a trip. Take 3-5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, or 100 - 250 micrograms of LSD. Or more of either. These are minimums. I would start on the lower end, and take more later. The second dose should be equal to or less than the first dose, and should never be taken more than 2 hours after the first dose.
   
4. Lie down, put a blindfold on, and put on your favorite music. Make sure it lasts you a few hours.
   
5. Stay down there, blindfolded, as much as possible for 4-5 hours. Always go towards any fear, negativity, or darkness. Never run away from it. Always towards. Always towards. Always. Towards. Then come out and do whatever. Strongly recommend to do something creative.
   
6. The next day, write about what you experienced.
   
   This pretty much how psychedelic therapists run their therapy sessions. This method has shown positive clinical statistical significance of at least .7(compared to less than .01 for all other treatment methods) in all types of people(depressed, addicts, healthy normals, the dying, etc.).

You don't say what dose of mushroom you were taking each time. Microdosing twice a day 3 days in a row is way too much even at a small dose. Look here and learn how to microdose

So, this is just blatant lying by our resident drug war toll, currently writing as /u/Galileo009. Why is pro drug war lying allowed on this sub? Why isn't this sub trolled, why is it anarchy?
