Re: Study finds ‘magic mushrooms’ may improve personality long-term

I've got a book by an individual who along with several friends ate shrooms by the bucket full and never experienced anything besides a psychedelic trip.

They did, but the psychedelic trip is why they ingested the mushrooms, so it wasn't evedent to them at the time that their whole thought process in most people changed for the better. 

I grew MM's back in the day. Sent away for the spores which came in syringes to be injected into a medium within a large picnic cooler. 

Not recommended unless you do research, or you could grow a bad batch & go on a bad trip, or worse. Anybody that tells you they ate bucket fulls is full of cow pies, or they were just eating marijuana. A couple of grams is enough to be in your own world being fascinated by by the simplest things you would have only taken for granted before. A small group would eat them and go to a rock concert, etc.

I believe meditation is good, but as they say there are multiple roads to the same place.

You are also right about many people thinking that pills and other meds are the answer to everything. The worst thing about them is they don't want to hear about anything else. They have been dumbed down by the advertising.

Drive by a fast food restaurant at lunch time, the cars are lined up to buy that crap.
