Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, psychologist, or psychiatrist. I am not a healing shaman, or somebody with decades of psychedelic experience. I have been experimenting with psychedelics for only a few years, which is not enough time to become an expert in just about anything. Psychedelics are a complex topic. So, please take everything here with a grain of salt, and treat this as a starting point for learning more.

 This document is an overview of psychedelic mushrooms and tripping, as well as some of my personal experiences. I hope it will help those who are in a similar position to the one I was in, and are seeking to learn more about psychedelics.
