Psychadelic microdosing
Has anyone tried microdosing for improved mental health, focus, creativity, or depression? Thoughts on it? How did you get started? Positive results?
I've only looked into it minimally. May very well be placebo, not that it matters. An improvement is an improvement. Besides, mushrooms can be grown for cheap at home with minimal equipment. Buy a spore syringe, pre-prepped and pre-steralized spawn bag, and a humidity chamber. You should be able to find simple enough instructions on ~~*youtube*~~.
Wouldn't you eventually run into tolerance issues as well? I thought their was a 2 week reset period.
read an erowid dude who did a self blind microdosing study. essentially had acid paper mixed in w clean ones and numbered them all. took a random number every day until running out then looked back at all the numbers which were which. dude found he felt slightly better overall on his sober days than his microdosing days. talks about placebo obvi. that's the only remotely scientific data i've seen out there
I didn’t notice any significant benefit, and in fact I didn’t like the constant flux in mindstate. I think it’s better to just do large doses a few times a year and work to integrate what you learned. Probably worth a try to see if it helps you
Done it with acid. ~7μg hits every 3 days for about 6 months.
I'd say I had positive results, my 'on' days were very creative and focused. Only stopped because supply was unreliable but I'm looking into growing shrooms if I can figure out how to get the dosage right (acid dosing is much easier).
how the fuck do you know you were eating 7 micrograms lol
I'd guess volumetric dosing
I've grown in bulk before and it's not too hard to dose. What you do is take the fully dried mushrooms and crush them into a powder to homogenize it (so that you are not getting ONLY cap or ONLY stem), and then you measure it out with a mg scale
1 day on, two days off seems to be an effective dose from what Im reading.
no but ive been vaping delta 8 weed tthe past 4 days after realising getting life advice from andrew tate is playing myself. tate is basically a cult leader, so i'm getting high to change my perspective and become a normie again. i've had so much anxiety lately and it's because i've realised i'm making stupid choices. cheated on my ex gf, then she cheated on me and we broke up. a few months back, and i thought me cheating was okay because the manosphere on the internet states men cheating is okay but women cheating is harem. i feel so fucking stupid, the 12 year old version of me would be able to discern that cheating on a gf is bad. but adult me tries to justify cheating because i'm a horny degenerate.
I thank God I didn't discover this place earlier in life. The talking heads that run the "manosphere" are universal grifters. They need to be round up and shot. Unironic parasites taking advantage of fatherless and lonely young men.
Same fag from
. If you need to take the edge off, stick to edibles to avoid smoke inhalation. Your lungs are important. My grandfather has COPD. He huffs and puffs just walking around. Granted, he's also obese, and has been his entire life. Still, protect your smile, friend. Good luck.
>shrooms for mental health
>people regularly ptsd from it or claim to speak to demons
Sounds good bro. I'm sure the key to health is melting your brain with psychedelics. My thum/ther friend Xa'lia told me so.
>people regularly ptsd from it or claim to speak to demons
This is an overstatement, and you know it. Demagogue elsewhere, dweeb.
The demons are just manifestations of the negative thoughts in your subconscious. It’s really not all that crazy
Abusing drugs is bad, yes. Nobody turns into a schizophrenic from 3 medium shrooms trips per year though lol
How fucking cool it would be to talk to demons though?
Just talk to women
my experience with small-dosing
pros:
good tool for mental unlocking
great preworkout especially for outdoor exercise
helps break rigid thinking patterns
stimulates creativity
promotes pro social behavior
destroys unhealthy cravings
mental health work is more effective and permanent
self-talk and prayer is more powerful
deep appreciation for nature
more confidence
helps break addictions and cravings
cons:
get more angry/irritated if im indoors or stuck in a car
being at work sucks even more
if youre in a bad mood, itll feel like satan is controlling your thoughts
more moody the few days after
loneliness feels 100x worse
harder to dose, innocent microdose can accidentally take you to the moon
sex is not as enjoyable, cant coom
harder to indulge in unproductive life-draining pleasures cause you realize its bullshit and the mind rejects it
>great preworkout especially for outdoor exercise
1000% this. I take a mini dose (.5-1g) of mushrooms occasionally before a hike and those are by far my best excursions.
sure go ahead if you wanna be a retarded hippie
I am an experienced psychedelics user and I would really recommend (as would much of the science out there) that you do a real trip-threshold dose. The benefits from a trip can last a very long time and studies confirm this. Microdosing has shown to be helpful, but I would still recommend a real trip dose over it. Plus with microdosing, you develop a tolerance and really have to be dosing accurately, which require a mg scale. I also found it VERY difficult to do certain kinds of work that required more structured, logical, linear thinking when I was microdosing
its extremely affective but its very hard to get the dose right.
I grow my own stuff and on occasion throw back about 4 grams and watch streams of toonami. I tried playing vidya before while the effects hit, but it makes your train of thought become a house of cards. As in when you go to a shopkeeper in a game and he lists his products, your mind just starts going of on wild tangents. It's crazy how it distorts the signals in your brain and makes you look at things from different angles. I hear people say how spiritual it is or some such, but it's never like that for me. It's like being drunk, but it puts me in an incredibly positive mood and laughter comes really easy, and there's no vomiting. Honestly, now that I have my own supply, I dont even bother drinking anymore. I find shrooms to just be flat out superior to alcohol. Kind of want to try a 6g dose, but it's whatever. I only touch the stuff on the weekends when I've got nothing going on, which is kind of rare.
I wouldn't call it positive or negative, but more like an amplifier. Stupid fucking commercials all the sudden become fascinating in weird ways, I imagine light shows and concerts would leave a much greater impression. If you're a sad fuck, idk how that would work out but I'd be cautious. Shrooms don't fix you, they just kind of distort you, and some people freak out about that.
Lol a bunch of fucking druggies on this discussion.
For any young kids reading this, do not do drugs. Especially phycs. I know countless people who instantly became losers after tripping on LSD/shrooms. Everyone I knew in University who dabbled in drugs is now broke with no job/shitty fast food job.
>I know countless people who instantly became losers after tripping on LSD/shrooms
Ah yes, just like alcohol makes people mean, and has nothing to do with what's going on under the surface.
Also synthetics=/=naturals, but please do go on and tell us about your straight edge tattoo and how much you know about drugs.
The biggest retard I have ever met bragged about dosing for 6 months and was almost incapable of forming an actual sentence. I helped him get a job at the place I was working doing the easiest, most menial, non-skilled job and he still managed to constantly fuck up and got fired within 2 weeks.
I started microdosing psilocybin because of the evidence that it can increase grey matter. I grew my own and made capsules for a sub-threshold dose 3x a week. Aside from getting a little high when I would take a cap that was a little extra potent, there have been no noticeable effects. I hope that the neurogenesis effect will help stave off alzheimers when I get old.
Just smoke dmt, your body metabllizes the 4-HO-DMT in shrooms into N,N-DMT anyways
