Are you trying those "magic truffles" in Amsterdam? I worry about such things in the commercial space as possibly being laced with other things, since they aren't really regulated. You found them helpful?
That's the problem with the quasi-legal stuff in Amsterdam. Weird place in regulation, where only part of the process has much of anything. Really it is the similar with weed and hash, and somewhat similar to the regular illegal drug market - with the exception of selling this stuff to residents and tourists in a completely legal manner. It seems the pushback for lacing such things would be pretty severe in this case. The unfortunate reality of this stuff is that unless we have some of that regulation and legality in place, this particular risk will be there.
Helpful, yes. Preferred? No - LSD and little forest mushrooms are my preference. But most folks have to contend with legality of things, including myself, and these are a legal option.
Being pretty introspective on them, I giggled at myself and found myself quite clever. I remembered what it was like to be happy with myself and my thoughts. The downside - with the truffles anyway - was that while sobering up, I could feel the everyday worries and anxieties coming back. They were gone for a bit, and I hadn't even noticed. It sucked the first time, but the combination of it all was such that I could start making changes in things the very next day - partially because I remembered.
