Man almost dies after self treatment with mushrooms

> A man brewed a tea from “magic mushrooms” and injected the concoction into his veins; several days later, he ended up at the emergency department with the fungus growing in his blood.

Oh good god. Where did he get this idea? You are not supposed to take Psilocybes every weekend like recreational drug.

You do 5 grams like Terrence McKenna says and then wait a few months until you do it again. For beginners, 5 grams is not recommended.

As for anti-depressant effects, the last time I did it was June last year. I think it rewired my brain and I don't feel as down as before.

I would take Psilocybe mushrooms over anti-depressant medication any day. It takes more than 3 or 4 times before I felt like its anti-depressant effect was more long lasting.

I like to thank the heavens for allowing me to live in a country where I can order medical marijuana and psilocybes with cash and arrive in my mailbox the next day without fearing the law enforcement. I simply can't imagine living in a country with draconian policies where misinformation continues to create stigma and severe punishment for simply partaking in a harmless activity.
