My Story
The Power Of Plant Medicine
My 5g Magic Mushroom Experience That Changed My Life For Ever
How did I wind up where I am now, growing and selling plant medicine? I've always had a slight interest in plant medicine, and I've also worked in both propagation and open ground nurseries for over 15 years, working with thousands of varieties of plants. So the knowledge i have gained, growing different plant species is quite advanced. Over the years working in different nurseries I began to dream about starting my own nursery that would one day take care of me and my family financially, and give us the lifestyle we always wanted! Now I grew up poor in a rough neighborhood, and i guess this is what gave me a drive to be successful and have things, but it's also given me limiting beliefs about not being able to achieve because I had never seen it done before. I had achieved alot in life before starting The Mystics Garden, but hadn't truly achieved the lifestyle i was dreaming of as part of me kept getting in the way of being able to do this. Me and my wife both own a 30 arce farm nestled on the outskirts of small town Woodville. She runs the stock and I run the nursery. I also ran a successful boxing gym for our locals, teaching both youth and adult's what real fitness is about and teaching the skills of boxing. I had been a competitive amateur boxer for 9 years before I became a coach, and nutrition was a big part of my fitness journey so this lead me down the health of nutrition road. But I also had another side to me that I had adopted from my environment. The side of me that smoked and drunk and made other shitty lifestyle choices and lacked the beliefs to truly be successful. I had given up smoking and the most part of drinking, during my amateur boxing career. But once I stopped it slowly crept it's way back into my life and took over for the next few years. I was living in a very bad way at this point in my life, and although I was still training and eating clean most of the time, i was also drinking and partying every weekend and some nights during the week, smoking and vaping and doing mdma, gambling any spear dollars i had left away at the pub, and also shamefully going out and cheating on my wife with random women. I knew it all had to change, and one night it did for good, the night I took 5gs of magic mushrooms and went totally insane, literally! Now I had been doing my research up until this point and I had done milder doses of mushrooms in the past. But nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen that night on the 15th of March 2021. I won't go into full detail about the story, as it would go on for to long. Instead I'll just try and summarize the story! So the jist of it is , I was drinking after coaching at a boxing event. Me ,my wife , my friend and his wife, had booked rooms to stay in that night and me and my friend decided it would be a good night to do the 5gs that we had been discussing days prior. I knew drinking was a bad thing to do when doing mushrooms but we still did it anyway. I ended up having what is considered to be a bad trip. The mushrooms only just kicked in once me and my wife got back to our rooms around midnight and attempt to go to sleep. Basically I ened up going through death after death, showen all these death realms that I was now trapped in for the rest of eternity and I was being punished because of all the wrong I had been doing in my life. I went completely insane and my poor wife, unprepared, was there to witness it all. This went on for about 6 hours and when I finally came to in the morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and thanked whatever it was that did that to me , for giving me another chance to live, it was like it told me that night, this is what I can do to you if you do wrong , now I'm giving you another chance to do right! I felt super depressed that morning and I had a moment of realization as I broke down in tears and I told my wife, I know I need to change. I immediately stopped all the self destructive behaviors from that point moving forward, the smoking ,the partying, the gambling the cheating and the self doubt began to dissipate. Old behaviors did try to creap back in about a year after this experience, small bits of drinking and vaping, but i was aware of this and easily stopped it in its tracks before it got worse. I was showen the true power of real medicine that night, and although it was the toughest thing I had ever been through in my entire life, it gave me exactly what I needed at that time and for that I am thankful. I'm not suggesting to anyone to go out and try any psychedelics as they're illegal and can also mess you up especially if you have a mental illness or have a family history of it. But if you do decide to, be safe and show them respect. Since this experience i now only focus on whats important to me in my life, my family which is me, my wife and our 2 year old son, our health, our well being and my vision. I'm now 💯 clear on where I'm heading. I've dedicated my life to researching more indeapth about all types of plant medicines and how they can treat all types of ailments in the body and mind. Things like ashwagandha which is an adaptogen which can help the body deal with different stressors. Mullein for respiratory issues like asthma or mucus ! German Chamomile , reduces inflammation, helps aid with sleep as it's a mild sedative and also speeds up wound healing and reduces muscle spasms. There's so much more to share and that's my intention, to bring you both natural plant medicine that you can both grow and use from home and knowledge about what each plant is used for. We are natural beings and we need natural foods and medicines, to feel and operate at our best. Join me on my journey as we grow all types of plant medicine and spread it across the country directly to your doorstep. Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine And Thy Medicine Be Thy Food. Dated 12/11/24.
