There is no comparison between paranoia from weed and a bad trip from mushrooms/lsd.
One can leave you permanently mentally scarred and the other will make you paranoid for a few hours.
I have stoner friends and lsd/mushroom friends. Some of the latter are still dealing with issues today from a single bad experience from a trip they had years ago. I cannot say the same of my stoner friends.
I have to disagree. While weed certainly can and does induce anxiety on occasion it is no where near as intense as magic mushroom trips. It’s not on the same level.
A mushroom trip can leave you feeling refreshed regardless but if you have a bad trip it may expose you to your deepest and darkest fears and become a terrifying nightmarish experience that weed couldnt induce if you tried.
The horror of a bad a trip didn’t necessarily teach me anything other than to respect mushrooms much more than weed.
I have had friends say the same. There is no comparison of the paranoia from weed vs the absolute horror of a bad trip.
I feel that people who say there is havent really done a lot of either to know the difference.
Another new and novel treatment for MDD is called rTMS or repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. Its effects are probably more durable than Magic Mushrooms from the literature, up to a year or more in some cases from a single round of treatment. A quick search in pubmed will bring 1000s of articles on its efficacy.
Any loss for big pharma is a big win for consumers.
