What is a hero journey?
A hero journey with psychedelics refers to an experience in which someone uses psychedelic substances to embark on an inner journey of self-discovery and personal growth. The concept of the hero journey originates from mythology and literature, where it refers to the archetype of the hero who undertakes a challenging journey, overcomes obstacles, and ultimately transforms.
A psychedelic hero journey involves the use of psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin (from magic mushrooms or truffles) or LSD, to have a profound and transformative experience. During this experience, people can gain insights, break old patterns, release emotional blockages, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.

Heroic dose of psychedelics
The term hero journey can also refer to a heroic dose of psychedelics. A heroic dose of psychedelics is often used to have a deeper and more intense psychedelic experience. A heroic dose is a very high dose of psychedelics, such as psilocybin, which can drastically alter perception and the emotional world.
With a heroic dose, a total loss of visual connection to reality often occurs. The senses no longer function in the "normal" way, and a total loss of ego can occur. Users may merge with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality is so intense that it is difficult to explain or put into words.
During a heroic dose, people can also have experiences similar to a near-death experience or rebirth. It can be a profound spiritual experience in which one experiences a sense of meaning and connection to something greater than oneself.
