Oi vey tell me about it.

I've gotten way more wary about the stuff I put in my body since I got on these cancer drugs.

Increased depression is actually a symptom of my cancer, and I had a lot of hallucinogenic mushroom caps I had stored away for a rainy day, and a friend suggested maybe that would help.

But my immediate reaction was... there's basically been no studies done on the interactions between psilocybin and the drug I am taking. Literally, who the fuck knows what could happen? The reminder that I had them actually lead me to give them away because, fuck me, I'm not risking it.

Yeah, a lot of the chemicals in mushrooms tend to metabolize through the liver, and so do so many other drugs. Good job, taking care of yourself. Best of luck.

Thanks for the kind words. Cheers.
