I looked back through the thread and found your post.
Since I've started growing shrooms, I find myself more open to alternative theories about... well nearly everything. I used to be a hardcore atheist, probably quite judgmental towards religious types. But I've changed. I still don't believe in God or gods, but perhaps I'm more open to the idea that there could be Something even if I don't know what it is.
At the least, I won't mock religious people anymore, nor do I like it when people around me, like my atheist friends, do the same.
Also, maybe reading up about psychedelics has helped. Specifically, how the hell did the Amazons know which two plants to combine in order to make ayahuasca? On their own, the two vines do nothing. Combine them, and you get orally active DMT. How did they figure this out??? There are millions of plants in the Amazon!
In terms of the proper use of psilocybin, I'm not sure that there is a proper use of it. Use it however you want. If you don't respect it, you will probably have a bad trip, and that will teach you to respect it a bit more. Recreational use can be great! The right dose at the right time can put you in a fantastic mood and make you feel great.
