Well I was thinking about how they prescribe dieing people to psilocybin to help them deal with the insecurities of death. I was thinking about how beautiful psilocybin is and how most people view death as so scary, and how it is just the end of a life.

Anyone who has taken a large dose of Psilocybin mushrooms knows that the experience feels like what a person would consider a near-death experience. Or the maybe even the death experience. Don't believe me? Eat some until you feel full, or feel like regurgitating.

Teleporting to a world where the body is either not visible, or not important. A world were you are no longer; but unity amongst all things is the only truth. A type of existence through the soul one might deduce. Does psilocybin allow awareness through the soul, by a means of understanding connectivity with the universe and a user's place in it?

A plane of existence where eye's closed brings religious and spiritual imagery, reflected through perfect mathematical symmetry. Where fractal visions are infinite, and repeated through patterns. Alien, yet, so familiar. Where things such as time are just a toy, for which perspective is to play with.

A user may experience time slowing down. Is the brain on over-drive, or is time an imaginary thing man-kind instantiated in an attempt to better understand this universe? Or is psilocybin really smart enough to slow down time for the evil drug ingester to enjoy it's inherent dark properties for seemingly longer period of time?(lol yaaaa right)

Psilocybin tolerance is very easily gained. Is it by coincidence, or does this substance have an anti-abuse mechanism built into it? Was this organism created as a tool for human beings to revert back to a zen understanding of the human experience?

Or is it a freak accident of nature through evolution? I argue that there is no evolutionary purpose of psilocybin presence in fungi. It may ward off some animals, even so, there are more insects that are immune to it's effects that find psilocybin mushrooms a delicasy and a home(Slugs especially).

Not to mention psilocyban is present in the mycellium(the "roots" of the mushroom), which are unexposed to animals. In fact some mushrooms have "stones", or formations within the mycellial network. These stones form beneath the ground and are fairly potent in psilocybin. Certainly that which lives under the ground is not used to ward off deer from having a quick snack.

Psilocybin mushrooms can be grown on newspaper, on dried plant material(even cannabis). They decompose the dead, and turn it into life, leaving the soils rich again for other life forms to use healthily. Some mushrooms can even decompose oil spills into simple sugars. If that isn't a metaphor, what is? No surprise in this being an effective treatment for those fearing death.

So what are psilocybin mushrooms for?
Us.

Quick little thing I wrote. I know I'm preaching to the choir here in a lot of cases. But I really would like to make things a little more clear for some of us who are a little confused.

/Wow I suck at spelling.

terrence suggested that certain chemicals produced in abundance in various hallucinogenic plants and fungi, such as dimethyltryptamine and psilocybin may act as pheromones produced by one species (the vegetal) waiting for absorption by various others (for example, early primates or hominids). In this way a kind of ecological pheromonal system may be at work among species and ecosystems that have coevolved closely for long stretches of time....i suggest you read "food of the gods" by terrence mckenna....its all about psilocybin and evolution and MANY other thing realted to that.. i love it...i own the book.. as well as mushroom wisdom by Martin W ball PH.D, that book i own aswell and its really good
