To be honest I think so many people are just desperate for any type of progress that they’ll compromise and latch on to just about anything.

Clearly there’s a better, healthier approach to psilocybin and using mushies for treatment, I just don’t know how realistic the other avenues are in WA in 2023.

There’s about a 75% chance this view will be completely socked in on any given day in March/April, and the mountain won’t be visible. Think wall of impenetrable fog where this view is. Your odds of having a view improve through April, but it’ll be a crapshoot. As someone else mentioned, the view is accessible by the gondola at Crystal Mountain ski resort, but ymmv on whether there is actually a view, and whether the gondola is closed down due to high winds and/or snow conditions.

I'm all for it. It's classified as a schedule one drug which means it has no medicinal value. That is a lie. Psilocybin mushrooms offer many health and cognitive benefits that should not be ignored. Don't listen to me, Don't listen to your government. it's important for people to make their own educated decisions based off experience and research. I do believe like many other things in life one could be irresponsible and reckless which could endanger themselves or others. But with a proper set and setting and even a proper guide someone could experience years of therapy in a matter of hours or going on a trip with our leaving home.. Don't be afraid to press the reset button

I’ll agree that mushrooms can be a powerful tool, maybe we will disagree on what it means to be “functional.” I don’t think people tripping helps them function better. I do like how you mentioned that psychedelics can be a tool for growth, I’d agree there. In my experience, people don’t recognize when it’s time to put the drugs away and focus on other tools for personal growth. Drugs shouldn’t be a long term solution.

I don’t want the only legal method of consuming these mushrooms to be with a yuppy doctor who is so far detached from the cultural significance of entheogenic plants, and calls it “therapy.” This feels like a grift.

I say let it crumble, throw every cent WSDOT and SDOT has at public transportation. Sooner or later people are going to need to realize that they can’t move around a dense city in their own 150 square foot room. It’s either that or continue tearing down infinite swaths of the city to continuously expand I-5 forever

You may be right about not disregarding therapies because someone might abuse them.

The main issue I have is that I don’t want the only legal method of consuming these mushrooms to be with a yuppy doctor who is so far detached from the cultural significance of entheogenic plants, and calls it “therapy.” This feels like a grift!

Funny; I live in the PNW just south of Olympic, but I visit the Mojave 6-10 times per year. A beautiful place in its own right. You could just explore the west coast of the US for your entire life and be fulfilled.
