It's been sixteen years since I've done shrooms.

In present day, I don't feel like I've got a safe environment to do them.

I've only ever had great experiences with them, but I would not attest that any of them in any way had an effect on how my brain functions at it relates to things like anxiety and depression. It's always just been...fun.

I mean, who doesn't love it when you're naked in a hotel room with your wife and suddenly you're underwater and she's turned into a delicious, sensuous sea anemone? But therapeutic? Yeah, never felt anything like that.

I've heard of the microdosing thing the kids are doing these days, but it's too foreign of a concept for me to experiment with.

In terms of micro dosing, it's basically just taking a virtually unnoticeable amount and going about your day. Like how they have those chocolate bars now, just eating like a half a square, and then doing your thing and seeing how it impacts your mood. Like doing a full dose, start small and gauge the effects.

Sounds a lot like homeopathy.

[–] Chetzemoka@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

Homeopathic products contain zero dose of active ingredient, not even a microdose

[–] capital@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

The studies I’ve seen show microdosing performs as well as placebo.

So yeah.
