Spiritual effects of mushrooms last a year?
Quote:
In 2006, Roland Griffiths of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and colleagues gave psilocybin to 36 volunteers and asked them how it felt. Most reported having a "mystical" or "spiritual" experience and rated it positively.
More than a year later, most still said the experience increased their sense of well-being or life satisfaction, Griffiths and colleagues report in the Journal of Psychopharmacology.

"This is a truly remarkable finding," Griffiths said in a statement. "Rarely in psychological research do we see such persistently positive reports from a single event in the laboratory."
|
No shit? Positive reports from drug use. Christ, who would have thought that could happen.
Quote:
|
Even at the 14-month follow-up, 58 percent of 36 volunteers rated the experience on the psilocybin session as among the five most personally meaningful experiences of their lives and 67 percent rated it among the five most spiritually significant experiences of their lives," the researchers said.

Tripping meaningful? What an epiphany...

So they basically told us everything that we already know?
Neato.

Shrooms fucked me up worse than I was before. Too much, too often, and in several bad situations. I know too much, have seen to much. Ignorance is bliss sometimes I think.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... happens to most everybody. That opinion is in and of itself ignorance. You'll grow past it in time. Trust me, you know nothing and will remain an ignorant creature til you die. All you can know for sure is that you know nothing. Thus, there is no reason for despair.

No matter how hard I try, I can't keep coming back to the feeling of complete ignorance, of insignificance. Time, time, time. Until then, what? I've been tempted to do more psyc drugs, half hoping I'll be able to find the answers I'm looking for. At the same time I'm wary of doing more, afraid it'll pull me deeper into this circle of unanswerable questions.

Re: Spiritual effects of mushrooms last a year?
It's because spirituality isn't a phase, like the cycle of a high. To some it may be, but, those who believe so are truly not in the pursuit of what is known as spirituality but a cataclysm of their own demise, which ironically pulls them down further.

Re: Spiritual effects of mushrooms last a year?
I always kind of freak on shrooms... I start thinking about life and how I need to do something more than what I'm doing...
I think if it were a evaluated study as such though I wouldn't have a single problem though...
Or if maybe I were happier in life than I was/am.
They are crazy man... I almost can't handle them...
I'd rather stick with lsd.
Its not such a mindfuck... I have heard shrooms tend to bring out psychosis in people if its there...
And I can definately see that happening.
Does lsd do the same thing?
It doesn't seem like it would.
