Yo Grandma, not wanting to trip out anymore either. Some solid studies on micro dosing. Did approach my shrink on this; no budget.
Think Ayahuaska may be a different approach

I just wanted to state that I’m all for this topic in power to whoever and whatever works for them but I’ve done enough LSD to kill a small country in my lifetime and I just don’t really see how it would help anxiety but everybody really has their own opinion and their own little live experience with it but all my experiences with caps peyote and every other type, you need to be very careful. Regardless of what you read or what people say it can be dangerous and take it for someone that knows it’s better to be safe than sorry It’s so far from a game and really nothing to play around with I’ve have many examples I could ram on about but I support it though I just couldn’t see it helping me

I just started Micro dosing with Mycology masters - concentration & focus - 3000mg capsules. I have been taking them for 3 weeks and really it has helped my depression immensely. I have been on anti depressants most of my life, switching form one to another and nothing worked for me. They do not make you feel high at all, just promotes a peace f mind, where even if you have unpleasant thoughts like catastrophic thought, it doesn't hit you like a ton of bricks.. this is supposed to repair your brain and neuro transmitters. I just thought I would pipe in hear to share this with myou.

I don’t really believe in microdosing. I wanted to but I think it’s a fad. Most studies aren’t showing good data and honestly taking too small a dose of a psychedelic gives me a really uncomfortable feeling. I do recommend tripping at least a few times a day with a normal dose. I prefer LSD or the analogs but the 4-substituted tryptamines are great too. And the 2cs. Specifically B, C, I, E and T7
I have tried micro dosing several times, and even the smallest dose really makes me feel very weird. When I did it, I would have a really strange day..and would just end up watching television in my bedroom. I had high hopes, but it just did not seem to work well for me.

There have been some studies on the use of psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, for depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. While the results are promising, more research is needed to fully understand its effects.

I think “teaching plants” like Ibogaine and ayauesca, and psilocybin along with items like lsd, ketamine, ecstasy, etc are going to be the new wave of mental health treatment. What we’ve got now is not really working. The amount of addiction that we’re facing all over the US and the world really, is going to drive new treatments. Just my opinion but we sure need something new.

Yes we need be more careful
Moreover, it is important to note that these substances are not legal for therapeutic use in many parts of the world, and there are strict regulations surrounding their use in research settings. As such, it is not yet clear whether these substances will become widely accepted as a mainstream treatment for mental health conditions.
It is true that there is a need for new, effective treatments for mental health conditions, including addiction. However, it is important that any new treatments are thoroughly researched and evaluated before being widely implemented to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
The use of psychedelic substances such as ibogaine, ayahuasca, psilocybin, LSD, ketamine, and ecstasy for mental health treatment is an area of ongoing research and debate. While some studies have shown promising results for using these substances to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction, the research is still in its early stages, and there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration, including potential risks and side effects.

Well, given the high amount of od’s along with the incredible spread of fentanyl, on top of our lack of anything that could be considered effective in any real way to combat this epidemic, your inference that we need long and careful studies is a bit hard for me to accept. When you’re on fire, taking a long long time to study if the water is safe doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. We alteady do know a lot about many of these substances, but the idea that some sort of “spiritual” or mind experience can influence addiction and depression has never been popular with the scientific community.
Big pharma has also fought against the use of these substances just like they fought against marijuana becoming legal and widely used. There has also been a fight against keeping kratom legal despite so many stories of folks using it effectively to discontinue opiate use.
When there’s pretty much nothing good in the toolbox, time to take a new direction. The NIH has been approving dramatically more studies using all the aforementioned items - more than they have before, thankfully. I think they finally see the need for a new direction as well.
Tbh, I have zero trust in what our government and pharmaceutical industry concerns itself with in these areas tho. But I am seeing a huge shift in mainstream folks acceptance of these substances. My own state has just approved psilocybin therapy, and I see an uptick of available ketamine therapy here too. I feel hopeful about these changes, myself…

hey everybody! This may be unrelated, but "The Drug Classroom" YT channel has lots of great information on basically any pharmecutical or recreational drug. It's very in depth and focuses on safety, they talk about studies, the history of the drug like when it was synthesized, the company, etc. It's really interesting and enlightening.

Mushrooms are becoming legal in a few states here in the US, they had studied LSD and PCP along with the rest of it for years.
LSD use to be used as to treat PTSD and aniexty if Im not mistaken. @jaders , is right this is the new wave and its coming. With all the ODs if they don't start doing something its just going to get worse. I micro dose almost every day and I LOVE it.

'tripping at least a few times a day' Is this post for real? Admittedly I know nothing about tripping.
I'd love something to flick a switch in my brain. I think I need ECT. Bit scary though.
@seashells I think you're amazing the way you have thrown yourself into this! I'm so impressed! They are still a Class A drug here, although there are lots of people who use them. LOTS! I would love to grow my own but I haven't got the time or focus. Mostly the focus to be honest.
When you say you micro dose every day and love it...in what way? Does it help take away feelings of sadness and depression? I read of two siblings here who openly admitted to using them and it stopped the suicidal ideation of one of them, which would be fantastic, plus helped them both in various ways, even though their reasons for using them were different. They came forward and did a newspaper interview about it to help others but have to stop now or they could be arrested for using them.

I don’t have experience with psilocybin but I think if you could access it where you live, it would definitely be worth a shot, lady. What have you got to lose? Especially the microdosing angle which wouldn’t affect your ability to take care of your mom.
Is ketamine becoming a possible therapy where you live too? It’s another one that can help depression and sadness.
I have a good friend with intractable depression and anxiety who did the ect. Honestly it didn’t really help much. And it didn’t help her memory either. The thing that did help the most was adding Abilify to her other ssri med. it was rather amazing how well it worked. But sadly that too wore off over time.
It’s my belief that instead of just brain chemical sicknesses, addiction and depression/anxiety are “soul” sicknesses that need some sort of “spiritual intervention.” It’s like we have to reset our thinking or see life from a new and much different angle to really impact these difficult thoughts and habits. Hell, the founder of AA always credited his sobriety to a mystical experience he had at the hospital the last time he was there to detox. He claimed it took away his craving to drink, which up until then he never got away from it and failed repeatedly to stop drinking. And recreating that experience for folks who haven’t had it, is what he attempted to provide in AA. That’s what the whole “surrender to a higher power” notion is all about.
I most definitely think these substances will open up a whole new way of treating these intractable mental challenges, myself. What have we got to lose anyway? None of them are deadly if used with some caution, unlike hardcore drugs that just do allow us to escape negative thoughts and feelings but never for very long.
Just my thoughts…

@Phancy You can't trip a few times a day, if you are doing that your wasting your goods and your trips. You gotta wait atleast 2wks in between or your going to have serious consequences. Like seeing shadows and shit. @pinkflower , yes it takes depression away and helps me with aniexty. Manly it just puts me in a good mood. I can't feel them because its such a small dose. I can tell though that I feel 100% better. I only trip once every few months, maybe 5 times a year. Thats different but its a blast 
. Where you live, you can pick them. You have some of the best shrooms growing wild where you live. Liberty caps.
