Thanks for the warm welcome!

I've previously had mushrooms but this was about 10 years ago and purely for recreation, I had a great experience but with better intentions could have gotten more out of it. Other than that I'd pretty much bought into a lot of the propaganda surrounding Psychedelics so was pretty fearful of them, it was only when they were introduced as Entheogens that I considered them more seriously.

I know completely where you're coming from, I'd always felt bad that I knew how to address certain problems but couldn't do it whereas now seeing how insignificant my problems are in the grand scheme of things and trying to take my interests out of the equation the problems are being ironed out as an effect of pursuing things more positively and objectively
