anyone here microdose mushrooms for optimism + health?

not stating which type of mushrooms so this thread should be okay and not be deleted. like mushrooms on pizza.

SWIM is starting a small mushroom garden to boost optimism

hopefully good results. It's been becoming a more popular method as microdosing mushrooms boosts BDNF (brain derived neutropic growth factor)

10 years of alcohol use compounds to brain damage because alcohol is always bad for the brain.
10 years of occasion mushroom parties + microdosing will likely lead to improved cognition
In small volumes these compounds mimic the action of serotonin by stimulating 5-HT2A – a receptor located in the prefrontal cortex.

This causes the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and increased glutamate transmission, resulting in increased activity, growth, cognition, learning and memory.

Define micro dose. Like 1g?

I did mushrooms a few years ago, it was awesome, though a little scary cos I did too much.

As far as microdosing, I'm sure it does help people. I just don't give a sh!t cos these days I like negativity.

Peace and good luck

My best friend started doing that srs. Things didn't go very well for him. Not sure what he did but he probably over did it. long story short he offed himself after a psyhosis srs.


Tbh I don't think the mushrooms did it, not sure. All I know is that the last time I ever saw him he swore by it and said he felt amazing however I could tell he was on his way to losing it srs. Tried to tell him to take it easy however he wouldn't hear it

Try what you think will work for you. There's plenty of testimonies out there and I know a lot of people that do micro and it's changed their lives in every way for the better. Obviously it's not for everyone, especially those with genetic psychosis.

(depending on the strain)
it's suppose to be like 1 or 2 MAX trips a year with a trip killer (benzo) so that if you have a bad trip you can end it in 30 min instead of riding out a 4-6 hour nightmare. the rest should all be microdosing.

which brand do you use?
I used nutricost and did not notice much (if at all benefit)
but nutricost is notorious for cheap deals so it think it may have just been the brand

thanks for cautioning
a lot of positive mushroom stories, but doing over 5g is high risk to go insane.
schizophrenia med (antipsychotics) are the only way to recover if you go insane in areasonableamount of time

very true,
it has a high potential abuse but i think using it responsibly might improve life quality by a lot
on the otherside, irresponsible use seems range from a fun recreational gag to life ruining mental side effects

I micro dose pretty regularly for mental health. For context, I am diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I love this site called soulcybin.org/ref/435/ because they're a part of a ministry in Colorado so it is legal. If you're interested, use the code SAVE-15-ASHLEYOLS for 15%

I've tried it. I know some tech guys who swear by it but I get a lot more by taking a mega dose (5g+ of very potent mushrooms) every couple years. My last one was an entire jar of really potent mushrooms, probably 25g at least. While I dont recommend doing that, It permanently killed my depression and anxiety. Did that like 3 years ago and haven't felt the need to dose since.

Imo, if you dose and don't go into hyperspace and meet entities you probably didn't take enough to get lasting change.

Ruined his life by taking sub threshold dose of mushrooms? Doses so small you don't feel any change physically or mentally? That's hard to believe. That's like saying somebody ruined their life by taking a 1/8 ounce sip of light beer.

I mean yeah, psychedelics have risk and aren't for everybody. But I don't believe that a micro dose could possibly ruin anybodies life.

Saved my life, I swear by them.
But do them in a safe environment.
Don't expect too much out of your first trip, just go with it and don't put too much pressure on having a "life changing experience"
Things could get bad but you will ultimately come out better.
Not for everyone but I truly believe it would benefit most people.

I highly doubt you did that much in a 24 hour period without getting sick/losing it

I did get sick and did lose it. It was an 8 hour breakthrough lol.

I wanted to see entities and took an 5g dose that I weighed out. An hour later I was tripping really hard but wasn't seeing entities so decided to take more. But because I was already tripping really hard I ended up mindlessly munching down the whole canning jar. Don't regret it but it was a wild ride. I ended up calling my sister because I got sucked into a fractal thought the CIA put me into a mental prison in another dimension and thought that I was going to be stuck there forever.

That part scared the fuk out of me but then I made it back to my bed and didn't move the rest of the night. Met countless entities in an alien landscape. Full on open eye visuals.

Never noticed much from micro dosing, I'll have to try it again

I did get life changing positive effects from doses 3.5 grams all the way up to 14g, I stick to about 5g now per trip (rarely anymore)

Taking other drugs like benzos or alcohol to make the trip "less intense" will completely negate all the long lasting positive/therapeutic benefits just FYI

A "bad trip" can actually end up being a very profound / positive life altering event and you might end up feeling extreme euphoria after

Usually trips are a mix of good / bad anyways, for me its the first two hours that are tough then things get incredible

Same. I took acid for the first time when I was 26. Long story but Realized how fukked up my life was at the time and how it was all self inflicted. I quit drinking and taking uppers, downers, and smoking weed after that. Did mushrooms a few years later as an "atheist" and met God. Bowed at his feet, admitted all my wrongs and repented. it was a crazy experience. I haven't had any anxiety or depression since.

If I had read this before I experienced mushrooms, I would dismiss that entirely as bull****.
I didn't meet God or an almighty entity, but it was life changing.
Too complicated to get into but that's not the point.

I rarely ever post, but if mushrooms are brought up, I have to put my 2 cents in.
Just in case there is someone out there that needs help and is desperate.
Don't go to strong your first time and just go with it.
It's literally the only case of something in life that sounds so good that it can't be true.
But it was.

Still though be safe and do it with someone you can trust if **** hits the fan.
