Well I'm a person who suffered from depression due to a rough childhood. I tried counseling and antidepressants, but never really discovered what I needed to experience peace in myself until a mushroom experience I had several years ago. I had no knowledge of psychedelics until one night I was offered 'shrooms by a friend. I took 6 grams that night not knowing what I was in for. I have thought about that first mushroom experience every single day since it happened.
Since then I have had a few more trips from mushrooms, LSA, and ayahuasca. I am open to trying smoked DMT, MDMA and of course LSD if any of them fall in my lap.
All in all I haven't found a more powerful tool for self-healing and understanding the transcendent, beautiful, and divine than psychedelics. I am so glad I found them, and think it's really sad that there are many people who struggle through life never discovering this crucial and important experience that should be humanity's birthright.
