Heroic dose, a term coined by the late Terrance Mckenna, is a 5 gram dose of psychedelic mushrooms. It is a different experience then a 3 or 4 gram trip. When you take 5G's it's almost impossible to keep track of reality.
I was a smoker before my trip. I had no intention or dessire to quit. I was super depressed from years of repressed memories and dark secrets building up. I didn't realize I was depressed though, I felt numb and like nothing could change. To make all that better I was also overweight and had destructive eating habits. I was eating way to much.
I knew something had to change. I knew this couldn't be all God had intended for me in this life, but i didnt know how to do anything about it. Depression is not just being sad, its being in a numb state of gray. Youre unable to let creative thought escape past the depression.
I decided to do a heroic dose.
I took it in a tea form with lemon and honey. I went to this beautiful deep mental state and learned what I think is forgotten knowledge to modernman. You see life for what it really is.
I was planning on laying in bed with my eyes shut but while years of emotions purged my heart my physical body also purged. The entire trip I was in the restroom. I have heard of people purging during ayahuasca but not on mushrooms.
On my heroic trip, I realized that I was consuming to much, Especially food. I felt the sufferings of all the extra animals that had to die for me to make it a double cheese burger. I'm not saying I turned vegan but I now respect the animals that have died for me to eat.
I quit smoking and vaping. I threw my vape out while I was still on the bathroom floor throwing up. I saw it in its true form. Evil cancer causing death stick. I felt so bad for the harm I caused my body by not giving a shit for so long. I was a smoker for 10 years.
And finally I had to make amends with those I've wronged. The main person being my wife. I hadn't been connecting with my wife on an emotional level for a long time.
In turn mushrooms have given me my humanity back. I had been living in a state of only caring about myself and mushrooms woke me back up to real life. During the peak I was more sober then I have ever been.
I would recommend a strong psychedelic trip to anyone that would like to better themselves. If you are already taking medication I highly recommend against it. Mixing psychedelics with prescription medication can be very dangerous.
My son dumped his adderall recently on a "trip". I can not say I understand but am thankful to God for whatever made it happen. He has also quit smoking cigs and has his 3rd child on the way. A lot of pressure. Hope you are successful in all you do and thank you for writing this as he has reported similar experiences using "medicinal" mushrooms. Mainstream just does not get it. Maybe one day! following you from steemfollower.
Love and Peace,
