Indeed. You do a thing because it seems pleasant and interesting at the time just to discover it makes you feel shittier later on or is otherwise detrimental in some way. Then you learn and grow and become a better man. Yes, indeed! Maybe they're super handy to reconnect to spiritual stuff you've disconnected yourself from, but at what cost? Perhaps it's an acceptable cost for the shaman type, but that is not me, so I leave it to him because he's the professional at this sort of thing. Also he is weird. I liked shrooms. I kind of miss those. I might eat mushrooms again someday if I find some really good ones. Beer and bratwurst is fucking GREAT, though. Also sauerkraut. And potatoes. Man, we had the awesomest German restaurant right down the street which was always one of our family favourites since I was a little kid. Of course they're out of business now, thanks to this bullshit lockdown nonsense. I hope they somehow come back someday; their Sunday brunch was especially delightful.
