Cannabis has its role(s), but is nothing like a 5g psilocybin experience. It's like the difference between swinging in a hammock versus riding a roller coaster.
With enough psilocybin, you can make use of neuroplasticity, the ability for your neuronic pathways to easily change to new connections. It's like thoughts create grooves the more we use them. Some thoughts are so deep that we develop unhealthy patterns, for lack of a better term, and can't easily get out of those grooves. By setting the right intention, and facing what psilocybin has to show you, it is like someone pulling a sheet straight, removing the grooves.
With proper reflection and follow-through in the days that follow, the experience has been able to turn people's life around, sometimes with only one "trip". Many are finding this to be a solution for PTSD, depression, addiction, and more. I have met several people that have likened a single experience as "worth over ten years of therapy".
