Carlos Plazola locked himself in a bedroom while his cousin stood guard.
For five hours, he tripped on magic mushrooms, nibbling the fungi and sipping them in tea. He ingested 5 grams a heady amount that connoisseurs call the heroic dose.
It was Plazolas first time using the mushrooms, which contain the naturally occurring hallucinogen psilocybin. He started having epiphanies, one right after the other, like lightning bolts.
I was making connections that I had never made in terms of my understanding of what we are, what the cosmos are, why were here, where were going, Plazola said.
