Why Consciousness Expanding Plants are Feared and Deemed Illegal
By Sergey Baranov | Guest Writer for Wake Up World
The Catalysts for Change
I remember a story once shared with me by a person who was a middle aged Russian man who had never had or even heard of psychedelic experiences or higher states of consciousness. He joined our conversation which I had with a friend about shamanism and spiritual realms. After being quiet for some time he asked if he could share his story. He said he felt that we were the guys who would understand him and we were the first people with whom he was sharing this with after many years of silence.
While eagerly listening, we learnt about the time when he and his wife went to gather mushrooms and then cooked them for a dinner. It wasn’t the first time they were doing it, rather, it was something they did often following Russian tradition. Apparently, this time they had gone beyond the routine. His wife had gathered ‘’wrong’’ mushrooms which were similar to those they usually picked in the forest. Instead of heading to bed after a late dinner, he was set for a journey he wasn’t ready for. Since having neither preparation nor guidance he simply thought he had got mushroom poisoning and was going mad and dying.
