Same here. Did it once and it saved my life. Point is it was only legally accessible to rich people. I.e. I had to fly to amsterdam pay for pre and post psychotherapy and multi day care. This is so wildly different to recreational use.

For what it’s worth you can find psilocybin in the US with with right network that does not require exorbitant costs or travel.

    More like most parts of the country! There's at least one species of psilocybin mushroom for most states. The Shroomery is a great starting resource.

      Thanks for pointing that out. Yes. This is a abundant resource, people should be aware of that. It’s also colonize various subtrates and thrives.

  Any potential for incarceration or institutionalization is an exorbitant cost to factor into transacting with the "wrong" network.

    Most people growing shrooms are not doing it at scale and are generally only selling to friends or acquaintances. For this particular drug- the risk seems pretty low.

    I think they mean "was there someone guiding your trip, or did you do it alone". I have never tried psychedelics, but I've heard its helpful to have people with you, because you can have a "bad trip" where your mind goes into awful places, and having a familiar face nearby can help get you out of that state or ameliorate your symptoms.

Interestingly, mushrooms are actually illegal in the Netherlands, but thanks to a fun loophole the truffles are completely fine :D (for those not in the know, truffles usually have a lower % of psilocybin per gram so you have to eat more to get the same effects but the end result is about the same!)
