Don't you think fungi are trying to make us more "normal" or "natural"?

Discussion

Let me explain, it seems the fungus solved my life, it treated every little problem as if it were a therapist, and although there is still a lot of work to be done on myself,I feel more human and more alive than I did two years ago. Don't you feel you've learned to enjoy things as you should? From a song, the landscapes, to love, moments with loved ones, and more Don't you feel like you've let go of some of the anxiety and mental noise about meaningless things? Now I'll tell you my story. The way I was raised and the city I grew up in made me feel like I'm quite withdrawn. I admit, I might seem pretty weird and nerdy, since I spent a lot of time My childhood and adolescence spent indoors, immersed in video games and TV; clearly, that made me bad at socializing, more receptive, sensitive, and bad at sports, When I finally began to open up, having only a select group of friends and experimenting with mushrooms, in my experience I was able to observe these sufferings that I carried inside. After that, and although I haven't fully gotten to know and understand myself, I feel that at least knowing the origin of my flaws or limitations gives me more strength because I now recognize where it hurt. And of course, my friends' experiences are somewhat similar; they told me they were able to better understand their depression, lighten their burdens, and feel more connected because, ultimately, we are all human, children.We are children and people who have grown up adapting as best we can to the environment with our inner fears. There's something medicinal about this, I swear, and I don't read anything about neuroscience because I don't understand it. Others might attribute spiritual properties to mushrooms, but for me, it's like a cure for the head, for a cure for anxiety in Homo sapiens. Hopefully one day we can talk openly about this. I don't know how healthy it would be to recommend its use to everyone afterward, but there's something here, friends.
