    Has anyone here used magic mushrooms to cure their porn addiction?

    I know it apparently does something to neural pathways and all that.

    I’ve never done anything like that but I desperately want to reform my brain as fast as possible for my family. I’m willing to go out of my comfort zone to do this.

    What do you think about taking a large dose of magic mushrooms and meditating on something like “I’m free from addiction” or something like that?

    Don't do it. Shrooms can give you a bad trip and really mess you up. The stuff you see and feel on shrooms seem real and can even seem life changing but give it enough time and you'll realize it was all nonsense.

    To be fair. I’ve already had my fair share of extreme psychosis without drugs. So I doubt anything would even make me seem off to anyone else from the outside. :p

    Psilocybe is a poisonous mushroom and will only make psychosis worse.
     
  5. I think it could probably help if you got your mind right, and u do it in the right setting, but I would think u would need to do more than just meditate that you are free from addiction. There are some companies that believe they can use it to fight drug addiction, so I don't see why it couldn't help here.

    If you had past episodes of psychosis, please stay away from psychedelics. They can totaly trigger another episode and in the worst case longterm increase the frequency of such episodes.
    I do think psychedelics have their place and can help with addiction, depression and other conditions, but just throwing in a large dose of mushrooms won't magicaly reform your brain. If you are ready to get out of your comfort zone that's awesome, there are a lot of other ways to do so.

    Only try this if you know someone who can guide you, like an actual therapist who uses psychadelics. Otherwise there's a risk you could have a bad trip. Either way, I wouldn't count on it "curing" anything, but it could give you some perspective and peace about things.

    Hello!

    I'm very hesitant with drugs especially hallucinogens. I personally have never done shrooms, but I have taken high dosages of edibles and have had awful experiences with them that have warped how I've seen the world. These experiences were so impactful that I'm recovering from them to this day.

    However if you do the research you believe it's something that you would benefit from. Do you!

  9. You should not take psychedelics drugs if you are struggling with mental health. If you've experienced psychosis before, you should definitely pass on taking magic mushrooms. You need to have a baseline of mental health in order to safely take psychedelic drugs. If you don't and still take them, there is a high possibility of the drugs triggering more psychotic episodes and making your mental health significantly worse.

    That's actually a very good reason to avoid them. Research has indicated that psychedelics can take a person who is prone to certain mental illnesses, especially schizophrenia, and accelerate/activate them. My Uncle had this happen, and his story is not a good one. His life was a downward spiral that left him homeless and so erratic in his behavior, no one was willing to help him.

    It may help, but it can also hurt in ways you cannot imagine. If you do go forward with this idea, tread carefully and with awareness. If not, then know there are ways of walking in freedom that do not need something external like this, but come from within, are reaped from consistent effort and self discovery.

    Good luck to you brother.

    Listen I'm going to tell you right now you have to have your own experiences in life and don't let anyone project on you. They're always going to be people that are going to try to hold you back from the things that could potentially transform your entire life for the better. One of the main reasons I joined this journey of semen retention is because of a mushroom ceremony. Don't let all the Doomers scare you man.

    Goodness I'm really actually like questioning if any of you guys have any type of experience with psychedelics at all because it seems as though you don't and that's okay but recommending people to go to therapist? Do you think therapists have that much experience with psychedelics? Because I know for a fact that 98% of them don't. I'd rather be with someone who's had the experiences for themselves and sitting in a room with someone who's wearing a white scrubs with a notebook jotting down notes while I'm potentially going through one of the most transformative breakthroughs in my entire life and they have no idea how to guide me through it.

    Erratic in what way? I have many friends who are Psychonauts that hop trains and are "homeless" as many of us Sheep who are still living in a illusion of comfort inside of their home sit around and judge them. I too was nomadic in America and would travel the states. My entire family thought that my behavior was "erratic" because whenever you are close-minded and live inside of a box that you have been forced into since childhood you know no different than to judge someone's lifestyle if it's different from what you're used to. All love. We all could use some mushrooms. The only thing you're all afraid of is yourself and losing the idea of who you think you are. That's why you're all afraid of taking those mushrooms you're afraid of losing control and realizing you have none. You are afraid of going through that ego death. It's okay.. Just be honest..

    Hey you do you brother man. What's your diet look like though? Processed foods? White sugars? Corn syrup? Staring at a cell phone? TikTok? Social Media? How are any of these things any better than psilocybin?

    Enjoy literally being boxed in and sitting on your high horse thinking you are superior to anyone else who is living a different life than you. Enjoy judging other people who will continue to expand their minds/hearts and create evolutionary leaps in Consciousness and surf a new wave that will shift the entire paradigm while you sit around with your snooty attitude judging others for something they can't control. Example being Mental Illness. You are a fool. You are not the type person with pure intention that would even do anything to go out of their way to help someone with mental illness you are the type of person to sit around and point at them and laugh and judge them. You are a clown. I am protected by the Elohim. You have no substance and you have no depth to your soul.

    we are pretty much pioneers by realizing fapping is the culprit and taking measures to handle it, Ive only taken shroomz once and it freaked me out. Im currently a cannabis user,and the dispensaries sell very very high thc products to a point i swear i see into a nother world,When i have a really big trip , something tells me to say away from fapping and be cautious with whom i have sexual relations with, but at the same time as the high goes down i get very honry and all that incite goes away an 80% the time i start fapping cause im so horny , i take meassures like no internet devices while im high
