How did you first find psilocibin mushrooms?
My name is Johnny Haronian. I live in Los Angeles. I work in real estate and construction. I’m newly into psychedelics Within this past year, I would say it’s really saved my life in, many ways, specifically mushrooms. I haven’t experienced the other psychedelics yet.
but I’ve experienced death in my family, and I’ve tried so many different things, like different therapy, and I’ve went through different addictions, alcohol and other drugs. Finally, I, gave mushrooms a try. After years, my brother, pushing me to try it, I finally took it just to shut him up.
I’m glad he pushed me as much as he did, because my life has gotten better, used to be extremely overweight. Not anymore. it’s given me the motivation to be healthy and exercise. when, you’re overweight and you’re on a trip, like it punishes you, like you want to feel good.
In what other ways has psilocibin helped you in your life?
I’m extremely health conscious. I don’t drink a sip of alcohol since this journey, so I don’t put anything in my body that’s, that is not safe. It’s made me a lot more vulnerable. Being able to connect with my emotions a lot better.
So yeah, my relationships are better. I experienced microdosing a little bit, even a microdose where you don’t even feel it like a trip, it’s just like a natural mood enhancer. Better than any of these prescriptions that we’ve all been prescribed by his doctors.
On the stigma around psychedelics
I think there’s some things that you won’t know until you try it. You can’t explain what a color is to a blind person. The best things in life. Are, some of these things that you have to just take a leap of faith and you won’t know till you try it. With all the mental health problems that we have in today’s world.
It’s I think it’s not just important It’s like it should it needs to be the priority. There’s so many people that are hurting and are messed up in the head and They, they just, they need this. And it’s just so sad to me that it’s just looks so down upon. I just know how many people could help. I know how it’s helped me.
And I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to try it. I don’t know when psychedelics will be legal. If it’s 10 years from now, that’s 10 more years of pain that people are going through. It’s sad, but I’m optimistic for the future
