Thanks for your video Jonny, I really appreciate your vulnerability about this topic, something I feel doesn't get the attention it deserves. I just wanted to say I had a very similar experience on mushrooms 7 years ago. I too smoked a lot of weed, no real hard drugs, but weed was a serious problem for me, to the point I was selling it to stay high and putting my future at risk. I wanted to become a nurse, but because I was constantly high, I was barely scraping by in college. The last time I took mushrooms I realized I was an addict. I had been telling myself for years "It's just weed, its not like its meth or heroin" , but it didn't matter what my drug of choice was, weed was ruining my life and I could not quit. A few days later I worked up the courage to call my mom and tell her I needed rehab. That was 7 years ago and I have been completely sober ever since. I am now a second year medical student, at the top of my class, working to become an orthopedic surgeon. Something I would have never guessed possible 7 years ago. I too had to put my life on hold for a while to get my shit straight, but damn was it worth it.
So did you rly quit weed and mushrooms? If mushrooms gave you a Epiphany were you thinking it was something you needed to quit, or were you more worried about how much weed you were using?
I’m still open to mushrooms once every 18 months or so. But I would never advise anyone to do the same. As far as weed, I really quit! It’s been over 3 years since I’ve smoked. Which is insane because it was something I did all day every day for many years!
