Post Malone has revealed how using magic mushrooms has impacted his short-term memory.The rapper was taking part in a new interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe on Wednesday (July 26) when he revealed that he has suffered long-term side effects from magic mushrooms.“Yeah, I take shrooms,” he told Lowe. “I like shrooms… [but] not as much as I used to.

It’s really affected my short-term memory. Maybe it was just a stint of habitual overuse. Daily. But now I take a little bar of chocolate with my buddies, a little square chocolate and just laugh and laugh and laugh.”He continued, explaining how he has seen the drug used to treat people suffering from PTSD, and how he believes it can often lead to a more ‘positive’ response than pharmaceuticals.“I was talking to a ranger buddy of mine.

He was a ranger and he was saying they’re giving it to guys for PTSD and stuff. And I was like, oh that’s cool because a lot of the times, a lot of pharmaceuticals, they have negative reactions often,” he explained. “It’s cool to see that they’re giving them this medicine and it’s actually working.“He was saying his buddy was going through it and it really helped him a lot.

I don’t know. It’s interesting because it’s improved. It has improved my view on things.”Elsewhere in the discussion, Malone also reflected on how his outlook has become more optimistic in his latest album ‘Austin’, and explored the ways in which having a child has pushed him to tone down his reckless lifestyle.“Making the last record – well, writing it – I was so, so sad.
