Ok, so I've heard a lot of people talking about how psychedelics can permantly alter your personality and change your view of reality even post-trip, usually for the better (but not always, remember that it can bring out and cement a repressed psychosis.) Anyways, there was a similar thread about this on the LSD forums and I was wondering the same thing about psilocybin. I'm sure most of the answers will be very similar as the effects of the drugs are very similar, but not entirely the same. Also, is there a difference in the way psilocybin has changed you or could, from how LSD has or might?
I dont think anyone knows why exactly it changes you, thats part of the fun. Some people like to think there is something supernatural taking place, but Im more of the opinion that its merely a chemical reaction in the brain which elicits an extremely profound experience. Not to say I underestimate the drug, I just think its something along the lines of an awesome mistake. I personally havent felt all that much change from mushrooms, probably because Ive only done them once, but Ive got an eighth for this weekend, and Im going to try to do some psycho-exploration with them.
