re: Tell me about mushrooms and micro-dosing.

I have MS so I take lions mane everyday. it helps big time with cognitive functions. I think Psilocybin is a wonder drug that everyone should at least try once.

I've read a lot of people saying the shroom chocolates are bunk. I, myself, would be leery about buying psylocibin-containing products from such a commercial website.

I felt the opposite. I didnt feel shite on the capsules and tripped balls on the chocolate.

Going further I just heard that LSD could be the treatment for Alzheimers and Dementia.

yes

Colorado, Oregon, California

From the Rogan pod? Listed yesterday, very interesting history, not surprised to hear our gov was / is involved in shady shite over money to the right folks.

I can tell you about macro dosing if you’re interested

Back in the day I subscribed to the theory that if a little dab will do you a big old dab would do you better....

In my experience acid and mushrooms seem very placebic in nature. I did both pretty regularly in the late 70s and early 80s and while the effects were very noticeable they quickly became less and less so to the point where it simply wasn't worth the cost and trouble of acquiring either.

There was some money to be made in either during that time though....I know two people, one I know better than anyone on earth, who made a LOT of "snoopy with a red bandana" and sold it around the west side of Atlanta in the early 80s. It was basically meth and rat poison. One could, if one were so disposed. turn $20 worth of raw ingredients and a couple of hours into $500 with the added benefit of high school girls thinking it was the coolest thing imaginable. How those 2 did not wind up in prison is amazing but it is safe to say white privilege certainly played a minor roll more than once....

Over all a good post and general breakdown.

The quote though, is in my opinion, very spot on. You cannot hide from yourself when on mushrooms. It is the great ego killer, and any issues you are not addressing will typically come to the forefront. It is why they are good for therapy.

In doing so, often provides a new perspective, frequently associated with compassion/empathy.

IDK, just my 2 cents. I have been down that road plenty of times, but it has been awhile.

Micro dosing, you barely notice anything, just makes you more loosey goosey. A bit more free spirited, lighter mentally. I work with people who will do it, and you will never know. They barely know. Not meant to be anything more. Just opens up the mind a bit.

or do people take it on top of antidepressants or benzos?

you need to quit taking that shite anyway

Thread bookmarked ... for research purposes.

I’ve had a handful of experiences so far. First time was in college with friends and I took a generous amount. I had very few visuals, felt kinda goofy, then I ended up getting a little paranoid and started to dissociate a little but ended up coming out of it after a few hours. Second time was 5-6 years later. I was visiting a friend in California and ended up taking a shitload. Within 5 minutes I was giggling like a child. After 10 minutes I was sweating profusely. After 15-20 I was seeing beautiful visuals and had the hearing of a bat. Next I went into a full blown 6-8 hour day dream, worm hole-like vortex. It was incredibly amazing and equally terrifying. I won’t get into the specifics but it was very intense and I wouldn’t recommend being that careless with your dosage. Since then I’ve micro dosed pre-measured capsules a few times at concerts and had fun. I do believe there are benefits too taking mushrooms but I also don’t believe it’s some miracle substance that is entirely harmless. It definitely makes you more introspective and it allows you to view your ego (and the universe) in a completely different light. But at the same time it’s a substance that impairs you and I don’t think you can trust everything it does to your mind just like you can’t trust yourself to drive when your black out drunk.

TLDR: stick to micro-dosing at first!
