Adam Strauss had his heart broken, and the profound sense of loss triggered OCD. After trying a heap of pharmaceutical drugs and other remedies, he turned to psilocybin. Psilocybin allowed him to feel the loss, to directly confront the things his mental illness evolved to protect him from. His resulting comedic monologue, The Mushroom Cure, tells the story of his sometimes messy quest with psychedelic experiences, a lifelong journey towards surrender.
