The good thing about shrooms is its non addictive, the best experience I've EVER had on ANY drug was shrooms, I've been so happy my face literally hurt from smiling so much for so many hours, but but once the trip wears off the last thing I'm thinking about is dropping another trip, you need time to recover, the closest I'd ever had trips together were a week apart but usually months or years, having said that it's been 6yrs since the last time but certainly would again given the right time and setting
Before I started microdosing shrooms I was 250lb deeply depressed and a joke of a man. 1 year later I am a 180lb elite Calisthenics athlete, my baseline mood is a couple notches higher, my productivity is up, my panic attacks and anxiety are gone, my life is changed through and through Update - 1 year later and my upward spiral continues. I have sacrificed some physical fitness for professional advancement, I now occupy the top position in my field after being in it for only 3 years, my panic attacks are completely gone, i believe I have experienced radical personality change (in the positive direction) I still occasionally micro-dose although very rarely, i know when I need it, it’s hard to explain.
@@FinehomesofNewHampshire much like you I am still on the grind daily. I work an IT job, go outside, play with my kids, build things, play music, go to counseling, take a mood stabilizer. This isn't the cure all method, but it is the most helpful thing in my tool box.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Does anyone know any good source to get them? I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels, would love to give shrooms a try.
I have taken every antidepressant after a TBI for 34 yrs. It totally made me a zombie… I have been microdosing now over 18 months… 5 on 2 off. I can’t tell you how much my body feels now. I’m 75 and will continue as my health is better than ever. I never did this in my teens but am I happy I KNOW about it now. I’m grateful ❤❤
I’ve just started also at the age of 75. I’m a bit confused, I thought that its on 1 off three? I have found several other different micro schedules? I’m 0.200g’s I’m perplexed?
I've been low/microdosing 110 -150mg for 4 months now on a protocol of 2 days on, 2 days off, 1 day on, 2 days off (so 3 days/wk on a tues/weds/sat).... It is incredible how it affects you.. i can go about my day no issue at that dose, but subtly things have changed in life.. 1st thing i noticed was procrastination disappeared... there was here n now presence and if i thought of something id just do it.. not add it to my list.. Increased creativity, incredible ideas for our business, and moving those ideas along much faster. Just yes, and go. I no longer get anxious leading up to teaching fitness class 2x a wk.. Generally better mood. Less PMS. Less anger, more perserverance. More playfulness, want for fun. Greater presence. More motivated. More natural appetite regulation than I've EVER had. Thats a start..
Hey Abby, can you please extrapolate 'Less PMS'....speaking on behalf of my wife who has a large Fibroid growth (awaiting operation), has aneamia and who has suffered from very heavy periods her whole adult life....we are discussing a 30 day MD program at this very moment...any help appreciated.
@@simonford5608 so for me more mood related...physically I don't get extreme pain or enduring bleeding...more end of world scenario, lack of emotional stability and coping mechanisms out the window, pre-menstruation. These have greatly subsided and my mood is even and balanced month-round. I can't say if it would help with such physically debilitating aspects... but I can tell you it has helped me in ways I couldn't have expected.. so anything is possible. I hope your wife finds relief... thats so hard to deal with ♡♡♡♡
On an SSRI and I’ve never tried it before and they say that ssri’s blunt the effect , how much should I take then ? Were you able to feel it in an ssri ?
Psychedelics connect you back to your natural state of pure, positive energy. They close the gap between you and you. It’s a glimpse of what it feels like to release resistance. 🦋
Yes definitely when I was took lsd for the second time it was like I went from cave man to me... it was almost like that scene in the film limitless when he's zoning out and the camera just keeps zooming in constantly, except it was like I was zooming out of who I was and back into myself again... (I know that sounds extremely weird, lol maybe I worded it wrong ) but you're right I went straight back it was like millions of years of evolution I had experienced in a couple minutes... crazy
I'm 22, been smoking sigaret for 5 years. When I do magic truffels or shroom my body instantly say NO to smoking or drinking, it make me nauseous. So after experimenting with microdosing for a few weeks, I start to have less tendency for smoking sigaret. It's been more than 1 years after I touched sigaret and i'm 101% sure that microdosing helped me quitting.
Yes!! I took the truffles in Amsterdam and it changed my life , I instantly said to my mate I’m gonna move to Australia (he was sober and said yeh right tell me that tomorrow) when I got back to England I stopped smoking weed everyday like I was doing. I saved up and 10 months later I was on a plane to a completely new life. I’ve got mates who are depressed in a routine they want to break but can’t, I’ve tried to tell them to try but I think being scared to try or too proud or ignorant to try something that’s gonna help them
Jade yeh 100% I’m back in England now and did slip back into moaning a lot 😂 but kinda thinking of trying to get away again but at the same time home is home and all my family and friends are here, I think I should trip again and decide 😂😂
I would really love to learn more about your experience. I am the same age as you and have the same bad habit of smoking cigarettes. I would love to know details such as how long have you been micro dosing and at what frequency. I will be waiting for your reply.
@@aichamarzougui1545 Every 2/3 days I take between 0.15 and 0.25 gram dry magic mushroom (Cubensis B+) for about 2 months, I don’t think it matters what type of strains you take as long as it contain psilocybin. I stopped using it after I met my goal of quitting smoking. Good luck to you ✌️
Do we need soldiers in a world where wars are being run via disinformation and most people believing only what appeals to them? One reason people feel bad is when their system is trying to tell them they must change their life.
I've just started microdosing,only 2 weeks in. I felt a huge relief from the very first dose in depression and anxiety. I only wish I'd know about this sooner.
I lost the love of my life a year ago in a sudden and traumatic way. We were days away from an exciting new chapter after years of hard work. I was so devastated the only relief was in planning my own death to look like an accident. Then I decided to try MD ing as a last ditch effort to not destroy myself in despair. It was transformative the first dose. It was subtle for sure but I felt a shift that was life saving. I am not less sad but I can feel joy again. Im grateful I had access and hope the whole world will soon enough.
@@Vetriyas I am up and down - grief is a wild ride - but I am no longer in despair. I’ve been MDing a few days a month every month (1 week on 3-4 weeks off) and sincerely believe this saved me from self destruction. I’m very isolated by circumstances so have no one in my life to “track” me in any way and yet I’m ok. This is kind of a miracle - I read every day that lack of community is crippling but I’m proof it doesn’t have to be. Not sure if this even makes sense but thank you for checking in :)
“There are no side effects. There are only effects of things.” Reminds me if the quote “nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Strictly speaking, he is absolutely right, IMO
With all respect, thats like saying "there is no physical world. but the brain makes it so." but what good does that do. We still are forced to deal with the physical world everyday. Just the same as we are with the good and bad. The cause does not negate the effect, it simply adds context. Plus thoughts aren't the only thing. Animals that get beaten suffer from trauma, they shake, they can't function, stress levels are high which we know stress is terrible for any biological anatomy. So yes there is good and bad. it's a product of evolution. You could debate it philosophically, but you'd have to discard the very validity of experience.
@@jamescarter4836 Our thoughts can trigger neurotransmitters which in turn create "feelings" that confirm our thoughts, kicking in a cycle of potentiation with thoughts and feeling interacting to create our subjective reality. This is why nothing is really good or bad, unless we perceive it as so. Ever thought that something was happening or about to happen and started to panic? Only to realise it was a false alarm? Because you thought it , it was real in that moment. Our thoughts and beliefs are instrumental in shaping how we experience reality. As to whether good and bad is a product of evolution, I'd say that's a view filtered through human perception, mother nature doesn't really know good or bad. When a lion mauls a Pregnant gazelle in our eyes it may be sad, but the lion is wired that way. We however, with our hyper evolved brains, have developed superior reasoning skills and also beliefs and can essentially distort reality to our benefit or detriment Edit: you might actually be right that good and bad is a product of evolution, in a similar vein of how love is. its designed to help us survive. However in the 21st century a lot of those evolutionary circuits hinder us more than help. I think thats the main point of the saying
@@davyroger3773 No disrespect again dude (important to say given the typical hostility of youtube debates.) but I'm a bit lost on how to reply to that. I'll break down why in the same order as your reply. (this is all under the premise we have somewhat freedom of choice, to keep things simple.) To your 1st and 2nd paragraph: we're biologically programmed to respond to our external environment. our survival instincts right. thus triggering the emotional response, and only then comes our thoughts. So to say "unless we perceive it as so" assumes that we ultimately have agency over our instinctive responses. Thoughts can exacerbate or assuage these emotional responses but only reactively, not preemptively. Additionally, our very control is limited by the emotional response. for example, If we detect an urgent enough threat (regardless of wether its functionally or dysfunctionally) the prefrontal cortex can shut down and the amygdala takes over, inducing mental paralysis and panic. To your 3rd paragraph and edit: "mother nature" is too vague of a concept since we can consider us and all animals as features amongst the many of mother nature's. And saying "too our detriment or benefit" is implying there are good and bad things for us. I know you're only arguing good and bad in an ethical context but I'd challenge that our basic human ethics (like dont kill each other) stem from our survival instincts. So though our perceptions of good and bad may've become convoluted and conflicting as we've struggled to adapt synchronously to our increasingly complex environments *breath* The origin of "good and bad" preceded rationality. (fml i didn't mean to get into this much detail) but to sum it up. It goes: Biological wiring>Instinct>emotion>thought >experience>ethics My point: "Good and Bad" or "pleasure and suffer" or "benefit and detriment" derive from our very biology. Thus it's as "real" as it gets. I'm sorry it just irks me to hear. cause you wouldn't walk up to a lady who's distraught, choking on her own tears over the loss of her child that her pain isn't real.
@@jamescarter4836 Our psychology isn't as black and white as that. for instance there's theories that our imagination, i.e visual thought can be used to stimulated attentiveness to our surroundings. For instance your walking alone in a forest and maybe you imagine an assailant taking you buy surprise, you may feel more aware of the environment and scan for threats which can be traced back to a release of norepinephrine triggered by the initial thought. The point being that sometimes feelings follow thoughts and vice versa it's never always the same. When I mentioned benefits and detriments it was strictly in terms of survival, although in modern society requirements for survival are far different that from when we developed our evolutionary networks. For instance being ostracized by a group maybe 6 to 10,000 years ago meant certain death for one of our ancestors so we recognize that as "Bad". But to day society is set up in a way that one can fall in and out of social groups, create their own , or have none and still thrive all the same. So the concept of good and bad is completely relative and subjective to both environmental and societal forces. And as you know our brains have not yet adapted to this strange environment. So how can we regulate the evolutionary mismatch between man and society? Conscious thought and perception. For instance because i am able to view lets say non conformism ( a precursor to ostracization) from a more cosmic perspective if you will, I can now detach it from human associations and view it just as it is without the evolutionary bias And if i can control my thoughts I can regulate my feelings to a great degree. This can be observed by buddhist monks and meditators of up to 3 years. From a simple practice such as focusing on breath and non judgemental observation of thoughts (essentially nothing is good or bad, it just is, even death) Their MRI's show a significant decrease in amygdala size and increased brain matter in the prefrontal cortex. Giving them a greater control of their thoughts and emotions even in situations of great peril. Forgive me for rambling but this topic is a very interesting one, i appreciate your insights. And i think where we can agree is that telling a grieving person to just focus on the good won't really work, you have to constantly train your brain for it to function in such a way.

Have a friend who just started microdosing about 4-5 months ago, and in such a short time it’s been CRAZY to see how much he has changed, for the better. Guy has been just incredibly positive and energetic and enthusiastic ever since he started, but he’s been so much more calm and collected in his thought and speech process. He said it’s given him such a deep understanding of his mind and his thoughts and emotions. So very very cool to see. Sadly, I do not believe the feds will ever truly allow any significant progress to be made in terms of psychedelics.
2G they’re not legal to purchase, no. Nor did I notice that they were any more widely available by people. They’re just less of a priority for law enforcement, and if possessing psilocybin is your ONLY crime, it’s not a high priority crime. If you’re popped for speeding or whatever and they find shrooms though, you can still technically be charged for it, at the officers discretion. It’s not “legal” as much as it just got knocked down to a very low priority for law enforcement. Friend is still doing incredibly well, but I have since moved away from colorado. We still keep in touch though, and it’s something he won’t be stopping any time soon.
@@TellurdogIsayhi Thanks for the update. I live near NYC and have no clue on how to get my hands on them. I do not trust growing them my self as I am not good with those types of things. Have not had any success with antidepressants and am holding out hope that psychedelic's will help.
You are right when you say "there are no side effects, there are only effects". But if you aim for one or several specific effects, the other effects become side effects from your point of view. When I aimed for curing my depression (which I did), the boost in creativity became a very welcomed side effect :)
I've been microdosing mushrooms for 2 months and I feel quite good. I wasn't depressed or anything, but I find I"m dancing and singing in the evenings by myself and having a great time getting this wonderful exercise and using my voice. I highly recommend this practice.
I lived in a state of constant chronic depersonalization/derealization (dp) for 15 years. I tried just about every therapy, modality and medication out there with no luck or relief. And... then... in 2019 I started Fadiman's protocol and within 2 weeks the veil of suffering darkness completely lifted. It was nothing short of a miracle. I've now been dp free for over 3 years, the results have lasted even though I only microdose a couple months a year. My entire life has truly been transformed for the better. I am currently going back to school to become a microdosing coach and cannot wait to help others achieve wellness!!
Holy shit thank you for writting thjs ! It's very rare to come across someone that has DP I've had it since a kid at around 12 that when life went to hell and it's been struggle til 40 ! 4 days ago I did 3 grams of mushrooms And 1 gram through out the day to til today which is Monday ! U gave me so much hope ! I would give anything to feel normal again ! I will be following the protocol I hope to have the same results ! They sell magic mushrooms at smoke shops here in Los Angeles now since last month, everyone carries it
Hey so glad to hear your story. I have been suffering from chronic depersonalization/derealization for 6 years and I am really debating starting to microdose. I would love to ask you a few questions about your experience with everything!
I’m so happy to have found this because I was downstairs giving my SAND talk at the same time. I had no idea how I packed my room, because I just wanted to say, “My talk is canceled, now let’s go upstairs and listen to James Fadiman.”
Iranian Religious Authority Considers Psychedelic Medicines Halāl 2017. That is quite significant. The fact that Iran has opened the door to psychedelic medicine. That my friends is a foot in the door.
@Batuhan Batuhan Yes, you state the obvious, but you make no point. My point is: psychedelic medicine is making a breakthrough in a traditionally very conservative state. Now if Iran is able to reach this point of departure, it puts our so called 'progressive' states to shame.
I have been microdosing for months. I was on medication for anxiety, stress, depression. The medication was not making me depressed per say it was keeping me numb to being happy. So I decided to go off this medication and began having brain zaps which is not a good feeling. For me, microdosing helped immensely to minimize the effects of the brain zaps and it is helping with the day-to-day life.
Those brain zaps are seizures - Paxil? that did it to me; my brain would actually reboot and for a second I wouldn't be able to integrate what my senses were telling me.
I had those brain zaps coming off of SSRI meds and just couldn't handle it, thought I would be stuck on those meds forever. It was actually a dose of ketamine for me that completely eliminated the depression and side effects of coming off of those meds. Came straight off the meds without any tapering or brain zaps after that dose of K
Finally, people who put a word on those brain experiences "Zaps". I would get these sounds in my brain, like frequencies running through my head, they started after taking interferon for Hep-C for 9 months. I've been using Kratom for 3 yrs now which eliminates it as long as I use it everyday. But I don't want to be addicted to kratom anymore, it's affecting my body in a negative way.
I’ve heard many good things about psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms and their health benefits, I also heard it helps one get through addiction and depression. I’m just wondering where I can get my hands on them cause I’ll love to give it a try. I’m passing through a state of terrible depression lately.
Valerie Angell I encourage you to try it! I’ve dealt with it since a child. Major episodes, 2 hospitalizations. Tried many meds. The effect of this is so subtle, and just lovely. It has calmed the craziness & given me peace. I am happy. I’m stunned! 😄
Microdosing helps a lot with life, heroic doses twice a year have assisted me in making significant life changes for the better. Processing the death of my father was one of these big things. I'm not sad that he is gone but I feel thankful I had time with him for 40 years of my life. I'm grateful to these entheogens...I also quit smoking from one day to the next after 1 big experience. Life changing moments for sure.
I can attest to psilocybin's pain reducing benefits. Broke many bones over the last 10 yrs because of having up to 10 seizures a day (broke fingers, skull, toes, feet, arm, leg, knee, ankle, ribs and fractured neck and back. Had first signs of rheumatoid arthritis 20 years ago. I walked with more than a limp for many years (especially during cold weather). Constant pain for 20 years that ended 2 years ago after 1 healing session with psilocybin (not micro but not saying micro won't do same thing after months). 1 yr later ,when I felt it was time for another healing session, I felt the mushrooms were about to take effect so I decided to get up from couch, to get some water to drink during trip, and all the pain I used to have came back while walking to kitchen. I had to grab onto counter top to keep from falling. There I was trying to walk ten feet to kitchen and I couldn't walk even close to normal, probably looked like a 90 year old man with arthritis. The pain knocked the wind out of me! The thought that hit me was, "wow! I forgot about how much pain I used to constantly have!!!". And then it vanished again after maybe 30 seconds and all I was thinking was that I was given a reminder (since I had forgotten) of how much pain I was in for years so that I could tell others to try if needed or tell someone else that does need this healing. And of course my PTSD and depression is becoming nonexistent. Happy Healing
@@ellenyesyes thanks. Rereading my comment i realize how badly worded it is! Glad anyone can read it! (I've had too many bad brain injuries. Lol). You be well also. Happy healing
Mushrooms have completely dislodged severe depression that I carried around for over 20 yrs..I’ve not thought about closing my garage and letting my truck with me in it for over a year !!! I used to think about it everyday and at the point when I decided to try mushrooms..I thought about it all day ... it was fkn horrendous.. not anymore it’s gone like I never lived with it ..my life is amazing today !!! I take a psychedelic dose every 2 weeks .. I set aside a Saturday and take a ride alone and go threw life in 4-6 hrs.. the next day I feel like a new man ..

I gave my friend some psilocybin microdosing pills, and after a few weeks, he stopped his daily marijuana addiction of five years and started working out every day. I've been microdosing almost two years now, so it's hard to say what effects it has on me currently, but it definitely relieved a lot social anxiety when I started.
Fun fact, you can’t become addicted to weed. It’s not considered an addiction unless your body is physically dependent. You don’t have withdrawal when you quit smoking weed. I have smoked weed for several years and I picked it up and put it down many times. It’s more of a social thing to me though.

I have a friend from high school who had an accident which left him in a wheelchair because he broke his neck. 2 years after the accident he retained a small amount of movement out his right leg but no movement out the left leg after physiotherapy. With 1/2 gram dose his left leg began to move uncontrollably 45 mins after taking. I was amazed after that long and his leg started moving, right there I knew mushrooms have many medical benefits.
I just started microdosing yesterday and already after the first day I've noticed huge effects. All this covid shit had me feeling down, unmotivated and just generally shitty. Today after my first microdose yesterday I picked my ass up, got a workout in, cleaned up my surroundings and have just an overall better general outlook on the whole thing I can't wait to see what happens deeper into the process. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

@@meta.aesthetica hmm if you mind me asking, since cannabis effects can change from people to people, especially if the subject involves mental ilnesses, how did it affect you when you took it?

Are we talking about higher "microdose" dosages or about pure trips to the unconsciousness? Thanks for the time and comprehension, man!
@@sttbgoutro8099 I think it's very hard to compare cannabis and mushrooms because with a microdose you don't really "feel" anything at all where as cannabis has a very clear effect. By higher dose I mean 1 gram or more.

This isn't something I expected at all, I was hoping it would help me to quit cannabis completely but I'm still working on that one 🙂

I've been microdosing for around 6 months. I play acustic guitar and i seem to be able to play whatever I can think of. I know some chords but I'm by no means great. Yet I can learn song by sound. I enjoy practicing now and seem to be more aware of different sound . I seem to feel sound. I have taken more than qaurter gram at once in 6 months. I also have anger problem and have been catching myself before I completely blow. I still get pissed but I talk to myself and make joke out of whatever got me pissed. Health seems same but I'm very healthy for 42. Also I have patience to work on my Harley without having to walk away because I'm pissed. It runs and looks great and it's finally done. I've been working on for 3 years and have done most of in last 6 months..
For many years i used valium or xanax,It was very difficult when coming off those medications,the withdrawals were unforgiving to say the least,Lasted for over a year.I have recently began microdosing,and so far I'm experiencing significant improvement in mood and anxiety.
So true 15:25 . Every time I take mushrooms, my brain almost tells my body is doesn't need any processed, manmade substances. Whether that's a bar of chocolate or cigarettes and alcohol.

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

I have a corporate high stress position in the wine industry, heard about micro dosing, thought I’d give it a try at work in tiny doses instead of just occasional weekend fun. I started taking micro doses of mdma as part of my morning routine. Immediately the results at work were unbelievably fantastic. Senior management were applauding my new vigour and results. One manager even said whatever you’re doing bottle it and keep bringing it to work, of course I didn’t mention my secret and had a giggle to myself thinking if you only knew. A couple of weeks after starting my taboo experiment I was promoted to state manager. Truely a humbling adventure and a secret I kind of like having to myself as a female in a corporate world especially in the boardroom holding my own with all the powerful men. If you’re contemplating just try it you won’t regret it just make sure it really is 1/10 to a weekend dose otherwise things might get hairy.

"Those of you who are into neuroanatomy and brain chemistry and all of the things that have not actually proved very useful yet, but you get those great pictures." As a medical doctor, this statement is so true! The functional MRIs, etc. simply lead to more theories about brain chemistry. Pick up a Physician's Desk Reference, the "bible" of medications, and you'll see all psychoactive drugs note the medicine "may" do this and that. All theory!
I have red-green colorblindness too, and i never knew that the phenomenon of "seeing tracers for 1-3 days after dosing" was something special to people with this problem. I have a very hippie family who all gave us their own rundowns on what to expect. They said you should *ALWAYS* take the next day off no matter how much or little you take, just to recoup. They also said you may feel "a little raw for one to 3 days after, too". I microdose once a week on Sundays. Its helped me go from a spiritually void person into someone who explores religious and spiritual texts. Its helped me feel more active and i get a lot of cleaning and outdoors work done, from gardening to shoveling snow for the elderly neighbors/landlord. It also helps in painting. I never do fine detail work on any drug, i even limit my caffeine intake. But when im starting a painting, ill do the inital drawing, take my microdose, then get into the first layer of paint. It does seem to help me think of better ways to portray shapes and silhouettes, and i get better color mixtures too. I wind up doing very little corrective work. I also noticed taking vitamin A and complex B vitamins reduce tracers and other visual oddities from being noticed, but they're still there. Though to be honest, i thought i saw tracers my entire life, so when i noticed them after tripping/microdoses, i didnt think much of it. But it makes me take dosing more seriously. I have my grocerys for the whole week already bought, i make sure i dont have appointments or obligations to meet. I avoid driving at all costs for at least 1-2 days. Ive made it work and i still see benefits from my "once weekly" method
I was an avowed atheist until my first mushroom experience. I had taken acid several times before, but lying awake at 3am thinking about life and existence, suddenly a creator was the only thing that made sense. Never looked back. It took another 10 years to become a Christian. Stubborn guy.

Microdosing salvia divinorum helps with depression and "addictive behaviour". Also its a good meditation aid. Also it helped with my voices. They are still there but salvia made me realise they arent real, which helps a lot.
this is amazing. it seems our non-conventional treatments are as effective or more than clinical solutions. I'm about to micro-dose on some mushrooms because I saw this video.
Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked.Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.
I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
Psychedelic therapy treats mental health issues, anxiety and depression. Likely will be one of the most profound experiences a human can have in a lifetime
When I tied my daily, all-day use of cannabis to my waking up each morning questioning my value, and why was I even here, I quit cold-turkey and started microdosing psilocybin. I feel human again. Now even a small dose of cannabis (in any form) gives me a raging all-day-long headache the next day. Go figure.
do you have to microdose everyday on psilocybin or can you stop after a while? I mean the mushroom is illegal where im from and hard to get a hold of, so not available for everyday use
I listened to this and read something by James Fadiman, and the began microdosing CDB + plus a touch of THC tincture a couple of weeks ago, and the difference in both my sleep patterns and pain levels is amazing. I've had fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, arthritis and spinal problems for a long time. I'm incredibly grateful for the difference this has made.
@@iamcrispy7004 I take a very low dose -- standard dose for what I take is about 1/2 dropper full (one good squeeze of the bulb) and that is somewhere between 25 and 30 actual drops. I usually take 1 drop a day and when things are especially hard, may take up to four but not usually. I recommend starting very low, with one drop only. More is not necessarily better -- in fact, if it works at all like homeopathy, less is more powerful.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."
@@joenicholss thank you Sir and yes completely it’s saving my mental health and well-being. You see I was addicted to alcohol for 35yrs and because of that I lost everything and my family, now I’m free happy and with my family. An utter life changer for the better, I’m happy-we are happy.

29:40 "...don't use for anxiety..." - my personal experience: I suffered from anxiety for the past 2-3 years, it got increasingly bad last fall. Still recovering very slowly. Started microdosing three week ago. Anxiety is all but gone. Instantly. Just my experience.
Even back in the day when I practiced Pharmacy, I would always tell patients that ANYTHING that creates an effective placebo effect is the MOST REAL, BEST, most EFFECTIVE medication with the lowest "side effects" available.
I suffered from cluster headaches for two years. Out of sheer desperation I took a larger dose of lsd to escape the pain. Just to distract. Little did I know that when I took those doses I was curing my disease. Here I am 7 years later I am cluster headache free. Besides the obvious message that psychedelics give u ,ppl need to wake up and acknowledge the serious medicinal qualities. Cluster headaches, mental illness, and self discovery.
I just microdosed for the first time earlier today and I didn’t feel anything till a couple hours later. I had help and understanding from my brother as well. I believe I had past trauma I was holding on to and talking about it helps relieve some stress. I was getting tense and I hadn’t eaten and my blood sugar levels were driving me crazy so we meditated and spoke some positive things out loud and then we walked outside and so far I have learned that I had past trauma that was clinging on to me still. I know now that it’s deeper understanding that takes place when you try shrooms or even when you microdose like how I did
How does it affect the brain over the long haul. My son has been on Adderall in the mornings and cannabis in the evenings for so many years that it’s affecting his way of thinking and his personality. He has become very wounded and narcissistic. I feel a part of his mind and personality has he’d damaged which is devastating as a mother. He’s just not rational, nor willing to work through it, or go to a professional to even do family counseling. I feel his whole perception is a skewed. In this lecture, it’s mentioned that some people can get off Adderall. Years ago, my son said he couldn’t get off Adderall because he felt too depressed when he was off of it. I just wonder how any substance that is taken over a long period affect brain. Very fascinating lecture!
I promise you those toxic drugs are killing your son slowly. Microdosing changed my life. 24 years of different mental health medications and every one taking its toll on my health, just a week of microdosing changed my whilst mindset
Microdosing actually causes neuroplasticity which means that you can grow new neural pathways which has a major effect in behaviour, as most people are stuck in a behaviour pattern and can’t get out. I can honestly tell you that it changed my life so quickly I was stunned and actually called the gp to question them as to why they have allowed me to take toxic medications for years that had literally dulled me so much I didn’t care about anyone or anything, however never once had they told me of these alternative therapies that are literally changing lives worldwide.. they don’t want us to get better hence why mushrooms which grow freely in the ground are demonised and made illegal. Shocking it really is
For 15 years I have been on debilitating medications for Cluster Headaches which didn't help with this extremely painful affliction. Oxygen was my go to abortive but you have to wait until you have an attack to use it and that was a minimum of twice a night, every night. I was cynical about any miracle treatment but was offered some magic mushrooms preserved in honey by my brother who knew a hippy that grew them. I was without pain for the first time in months after the first teaspoon of honey and had a half a cap the next 2 days. 5 days later and still no clusters. It will take me a while to adjust my mindset to a life without agony. I just feel great ! I still have to ween off steroids, antidepressants and very high dose of blood pressure tablets but I feel confident and calm about it. I really hope others can benefit from this wonderful, inexpensive natural medicine. Thankyou.
I always make them on my own. Take a dose for a moderate trip and then cut that dose down. Turn your mushrooms into powder and buy empty organic capsules. Add ginger, peppermint and powdered licorice into the capsule as well. It will help your stomach digest without the nausea. My next batch I am increasing the dose of Psilocybin…. As there are deeper issues. But, in just three months of Microdosing everything has changed for the better. Make your own!
PTSD. Every morning the same thoughts of tragedy and loss and the frustration of past event. Gone but close by at best. Now my mornings are more about the daily tasks. Those bed thoughts are more like a house I just don’t want to visit and have the control not to.
Kirstin Strand I know you’re suffering and don’t want to be attacked every morning with these pointless thoughts of the rotten past. Shroom no doubt helped me break that chain. I can think of it but also turn away from it now. Easily change the thoughts. I feel so much better having control now. Shrooms did that. I took for about 10 months or so. Just a tiny amount twice a week. Thursday and Sunday mornings. I stopped Micro dosing 2 months ago and the effect has remained. I say find a high end pot dealer who only sells 1oz bags min. He/she, might just know how to get shrooms. Do you know a farmer ? Shrooms grow naturally on cow pooh horse Pooh. I think you can buy a kit online too. I tried it from the data for PTSD. That and there was no downside. Get as much as you can and twice a week take a little bit. If you notice color changes on your vision then cut back on the amount. You shouldn’t notice any high like reactions. I wish you a cure. It certainly helped me. PS, there’s a reason the rearview mirror is smaller then the windshield. We can’t change the past but can Direct some of the future. I’m not a doctor, or professional in these matters. I just giving my experience and suggestions. I’ve tried many antidepressants but the thoughts never changed. Only my inner wellbeing was uplifted a bit. I take Zoloft too. Just because my health is so poor as I lost my leg and damage some of my spine. Certainly life is so much better without the daily thinking of blood and carnage. Also my older brothers are drunks and bullies. I’m 53 and still they treat me as a child. I had to scrap them off. Not easy for me but the other option was unending conflict. After doing that I am in a better place.
@@Stevon987 thank you so much for sharing. I'm better now from meditating 20 minutes a day. Check out Alan Watts - he has a 15 minute video on meditation. I looked into shrooms when i first wrote the above comment, but i could only get the from the U.K. Now I'm ready to buy a kit to grow. I sprout seeds for salads, i should be able to do mushrooms. I occassionally see mushrooms walking, are all mushrooms safe in micro doses? I'm sorry to learn of your PTSD and painful memories, and your missing limb. I hope you find this, btw, my sibs are not my friends, either. Take care.
Funny to me that he concludes that people with red-green color blindness should not microdose. My first thought upon hearing that they have enhanced/increased tracers is that they should do more/microdose more frequently to see if that changes.
I hope all these testimonials are real as I just started my first day of microdosing today! I always get hopeful that something will help me and then I get knocked back down on my butt! I'm really hoping this works for me 🤞🤞🤞
@Wander Lusterer it's been going well actually. Definitely the first week I noticed a big difference. I was super happy lol. That was nice. I'm not so super happy anymore but I do notice a subtle difference in my anxiety and depression. I wouldn't say it's the miracle they say it is but it does help. If you're struggling I would give it a try for sure. It can't hurt unlike SSRI's. Any other questions feel free to ask.
@@danielleswain7929 Thank you for answering my question. It's helpful to get an insight before trying these remedies out as the Internet can be full of "hype". So happy that it's helped in some form. Peace and strength to you🙏😎
Over the past seven years, my depression and anxiety have grown to debilitating levels. I cut all alcohol and most sugar out of diet about 8 months ago, and I started losing weight, but was still depressed. I needed to see a dentist and my anxiety was so bad, my doctor wanted to put me on BUSPAR. After doing some research on the drug, I decided to micro dose with psilocybin instead. I had the psilocybin source material and I mixed it with dark chocolate into 10 mcg lozenges. I took it once a day for a week straight and then tapered back to the 1 in 3 schedule. Since then, I've seen the dentist, mended some fences with my kids, and my days are much 'Better' than they were before. I will continue to do this as long as it continues to work.
For psychic disorders of all kind magnesium can do a lot. I take epsom salt half of teaspoon with meals, this amount does not have purgative effect, and it brings a lot of magnesium. I sleep way better, handle stress remarkable better (I work in prison), my erection are stronger(apparently epinephrine prevents penile veins to close and hold an erection, magnesium deficiency raises epinephrine hence anxiety)...
At 12:37 he’s saying it’s good for bipolar!??? This makes me happy. I’m bipolar and it’s great to hear some hope. I think people say not too use it because they use too much and it “may” send them into a manic episode. I’ve read millions of people on reddit using shrooms and bipolar, and the majority say they can take it without bad effects. It’s a RUMOR that it’s a bad mix with lithium. And that’s not true. That’s only true for LSD. Please let the world know I microdose and use 900 mg of lithium a day.
Try tapering slightly (safely) the lithium dose when you micro. Lithium is essentially killing the "magic" in your micros (of either substance) you micro with. The goal should be to micro to feel better to come away from the meds eventually . Good lucky ; )
@@ras_krystafari3333 CBD help you ? I start it 3 days ago and was looking in microdising mushrooms, but if I understand CBD help you ? Please I need encouragment 🙏
It can trigger mania. As you know, sometimes we don't need to be more UP. But depressive phase, especially the crash after manic episodes.... Theres a local 'shroom that alters serotonin levels. But, only has a trace of psylocybins. Some century it may get researched.
I started to micro dose 0.2 mg last yr and was on the 1 day on 2 off for a while. I actually found it hard to keep the schedule being I had to change the alarm and would forget. I missed 3 or doses and actually feel like my depression came back ten fold, never have I had a low like that! Made me wonder if I need a larger does to "reset" my brain and then carry on but Got back on them and made it a mon and fri does so I could have an alarm for each and never miss it again. I'm still taking them and started to grow my own. I need to test the potency of them, this wknd I think :) Still not improving motivation but negative thoughts do not linger and that is a good thing.
Brilliant! Thank you for this invaluable science. I have severe ADHD and can't wait to test it. I am a very new researcher into the miraculous affects of psilocybin microdosing. My first introduction to it was Joe Rogen's interview with Paul Stemets.
@@mlee9049 Thank you for your reply. I hope everything goes well for you. My son went on meds as well and he was experiencing serious side effects (depersonalization en depression) so he had to stop the meds. I sincerely hope you have a more positive outcome. Wishing you all the best.
Great presentation of a people friendly centered science. I really enjoyed that and will explore further. Thank you Dr. Fadiman for the enjoyable education.
I had been on anti-depressants for almost two years when I decided to quit. Even though I didn't go cold turkey (I weened myself off the meds over a period of two weeks), and the specific medication was sold to me as "one of the safest and least addictive anti-depressants on the market", I still felt some withdrawal symptoms. The weirdest being a type of 'vertigo' that would come and go. I took half a tab of LSD (not sure what the dosage was) and enjoyed the experience. The next day, my vertigo was gone!
I love it how the moment you post a comment on magic mushrooms, you get bombarded by comments from suppliers. I grow my own guys, and so should everyone else.

I do 3.5 g of mushrooms every 6 months to reboot my brain.
After my trip yesterday, I did understand why mushrooms are praised... you can have some beautiful experiences on them..
The good thing about shrooms is its non addictive, the best experience I've EVER had on ANY drug was shrooms, I've been so happy my face literally hurt from smiling so much for so many hours, but but once the trip wears off the last thing I'm thinking about is dropping another trip, you need time to recover, the closest I'd ever had trips together were a week apart but usually months or years, having said that it's been 6yrs since the last time but certainly would again given the right time and setting

1st thing i noticed was procrastination disappeared... there was here n now presence and if i thought of something id just do it.. not add it to my list..
Increased creativity, incredible ideas for our business, and moving those ideas along much faster. Just yes, and go.

Very well said. It has helped me surrender.

I'm 22, been smoking sigaret for 5 years. When I do magic truffels or shroom my body instantly say NO to smoking or drinking, it make me nauseous. So after experimenting with microdosing for a few weeks, I start to have less tendency for smoking sigaret. It's been more than 1 years after I touched sigaret and i'm 101% sure that microdosing helped me quitting.
Yes!! I took the truffles in Amsterdam and it changed my life , I instantly said to my mate I’m gonna move to Australia (he was sober and said yeh right tell me that tomorrow) when I got back to England I stopped smoking weed everyday like I was doing. I saved up and 10 months later I was on a plane to a completely new life.

I lost the love of my life a year ago in a sudden and traumatic way. We were days away from an exciting new chapter after years of hard work.
I was so devastated the only relief was in planning my own death to look like an accident.
Then I decided to try MD ing as a last ditch effort to not destroy myself in despair.
It was transformative the first dose. It was subtle for sure but I felt a shift that was life saving.

@@alanbaker6311 sure! He delivers discreet too
“There are no side effects. There are only effects of things.” Reminds me if the quote “nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Strictly speaking, he is absolutely right, IMO
If you like that train of thought you should check out Stoicism
With all respect, thats like saying "there is no physical world. but the brain makes it so." but what good does that do. We still are forced to deal with the physical world everyday. Just the same as we are with the good and bad.
The cause does not negate the effect, it simply adds context.
Plus thoughts aren't the only thing. Animals that get beaten suffer from trauma, they shake, they can't function, stress levels are high which we know stress is terrible for any biological anatomy.
So yes there is good and bad. it's a product of evolution.
You could debate it philosophically, but you'd have to discard the very validity of experience.
@@jamescarter4836 Our thoughts can trigger neurotransmitters which in turn create "feelings" that confirm our thoughts, kicking in a cycle of potentiation with thoughts and feeling interacting to create our subjective reality. This is why nothing is really good or bad, unless we perceive it as so.
Ever thought that something was happening or about to happen and started to panic? Only to realise it was a false alarm? Because you thought it , it was real in that moment. Our thoughts and beliefs are instrumental in shaping how we experience reality.
As to whether good and bad is a product of evolution, I'd say that's a view filtered through human perception, mother nature doesn't really know good or bad. When a lion mauls a Pregnant gazelle in our eyes it may be sad, but the lion is wired that way. We however, with our hyper evolved brains, have developed superior reasoning skills and also beliefs and can essentially distort reality to our benefit or detriment
Edit: you might actually be right that good and bad is a product of evolution, in a similar vein of how love is. its designed to help us survive. However in the 21st century a lot of those evolutionary circuits hinder us more than help. I think thats the main point of the saying
@@davyroger3773 No disrespect again dude (important to say given the typical hostility of youtube debates.) but I'm a bit lost on how to reply to that. I'll break down why in the same order as your reply.
(this is all under the premise we have somewhat freedom of choice, to keep things simple.)
To your 1st and 2nd paragraph:
we're biologically programmed to respond to our external environment. our survival instincts right. thus triggering the emotional response, and only then comes our thoughts. So to say "unless we perceive it as so" assumes that we ultimately have agency over our instinctive responses. Thoughts can exacerbate or assuage these emotional responses but only reactively, not preemptively. Additionally, our very control is limited by the emotional response. for example, If we detect an urgent enough threat (regardless of wether its functionally or dysfunctionally) the prefrontal cortex can shut down and the amygdala takes over, inducing mental paralysis and panic.
To your 3rd paragraph and edit:
"mother nature" is too vague of a concept since we can consider us and all animals as features amongst the many of mother nature's. And saying "too our detriment or benefit" is implying there are good and bad things for us. I know you're only arguing good and bad in an ethical context but I'd challenge that our basic human ethics (like dont kill each other) stem from our survival instincts. So though our perceptions of good and bad may've become convoluted and conflicting as we've struggled to adapt synchronously to our increasingly complex environments *breath*
The origin of "good and bad" preceded rationality.
(fml i didn't mean to get into this much detail)
but to sum it up. It goes:
Biological wiring>Instinct>emotion>thought
>experience>ethics
My point:
"Good and Bad" or "pleasure and suffer" or "benefit and detriment" derive from our very biology. Thus it's as "real" as it gets.
I'm sorry it just irks me to hear. cause you wouldn't walk up to a lady who's distraught, choking on her own tears over the loss of her child that her pain isn't real.
@@jamescarter4836
Our psychology isn't as black and white as that. for instance there's theories that our imagination, i.e visual thought can be used to stimulated attentiveness to our surroundings. For instance your walking alone in a forest and maybe you imagine an assailant taking you buy surprise, you may feel more aware of the environment and scan for threats which can be traced back to a release of norepinephrine triggered by the initial thought.
The point being that sometimes feelings follow thoughts and vice versa it's never always the same.
When I mentioned benefits and detriments it was strictly in terms of survival, although in modern society requirements for survival are far different that from when we developed our evolutionary networks.
For instance being ostracized by a group maybe 6 to 10,000 years ago meant certain death for one of our ancestors so we recognize that as "Bad". But to day society is set up in a way that one can fall in and out of social groups, create their own , or have none and still thrive all the same. So the concept of good and bad is completely relative and subjective to both environmental and societal forces.
And as you know our brains have not yet adapted to this strange environment. So how can we regulate the evolutionary mismatch between man and society? Conscious thought and perception. For instance because i am able to view lets say non conformism ( a precursor to ostracization) from a more cosmic perspective if you will, I can now detach it from human associations and view it just as it is without the evolutionary bias
And if i can control my thoughts I can regulate my feelings to a great degree. This can be observed by buddhist monks and meditators of up to 3 years. From a simple practice such as focusing on breath and non judgemental observation of thoughts (essentially nothing is good or bad, it just is, even death) Their MRI's show a significant decrease in amygdala size and increased brain matter in the prefrontal cortex. Giving them a greater control of their thoughts and emotions even in situations of great peril.
Forgive me for rambling but this topic is a very interesting one, i appreciate your insights. And i think where we can agree is that telling a grieving person to just focus on the good won't really work, you have to constantly train your brain for it to function in such a way.

I haven’t heard a lot of people talking about this, but my sugar addiction has disappeared! I couldn’t stop thinking about sweets or I would get shaky if I didn’t have some sugar. I haven’t had sugar in months and I never crave it. All from magic mushrooms!
This makes sense because I have no appetite on them. I still eat to feed and nourish myself but I don’t feel hungry.
That's quite amazing. Proves how much this craving is psycho-neurological, in your case and a whole lot of other people.

Have a friend who just started microdosing about 4-5 months ago, and in such a short time it’s been CRAZY to see how much he has changed, for the better. Guy has been just incredibly positive and energetic and enthusiastic ever since he started, but he’s been so much more calm and collected in his thought and speech process. He said it’s given him such a deep understanding of his mind and his thoughts and emotions. So very very cool to see. Sadly, I do not believe the feds will ever truly allow any significant progress to be made in terms of psychedelics.

2G they’re not legal to purchase, no. Nor did I notice that they were any more widely available by people. They’re just less of a priority for law enforcement, and if possessing psilocybin is your ONLY crime, it’s not a high priority crime. If you’re popped for speeding or whatever and they find shrooms though, you can still technically be charged for it, at the officers discretion. It’s not “legal” as much as it just got knocked down to a very low priority for law enforcement.
Friend is still doing incredibly well, but I have since moved away from colorado. We still keep in touch though, and it’s something he won’t be stopping any time soon.

You are right when you say "there are no side effects, there are only effects". But if you aim for one or several specific effects, the other effects become side effects from your point of view. When I aimed for curing my depression (which I did), the boost in creativity became a very welcomed side effect :)

I lived in a state of constant chronic depersonalization/derealization (dp) for 15 years. I tried just about every therapy, modality and medication out there with no luck or relief. And... then... in 2019 I started Fadiman's protocol and within 2 weeks the veil of suffering darkness completely lifted. It was nothing short of a miracle. I've now been dp free for over 3 years, the results have lasted even though I only microdose a couple months a year. My entire life has truly been transformed for the better. I am currently going back to school to become a microdosing coach and cannot wait to help others achieve wellness!!
Holy shit thank you for writting thjs ! It's very rare to come across someone that has DP I've had it since a kid at around 12 that when life went to hell and it's been struggle til 40 !
4 days ago I did 3 grams of mushrooms
And 1 gram through out the day to til today which is Monday !
U gave me so much hope !
I would give anything to feel normal again !
I will be following the protocol I hope to have the same results !
They sell magic mushrooms at smoke shops here in Los Angeles now since last month, everyone carries it

I have been microdosing for months. I was on medication for anxiety, stress, depression. The medication was not making me depressed per say it was keeping me numb to being happy. So I decided to go off this medication and began having brain zaps which is not a good feeling. For me, microdosing helped immensely to minimize the effects of the brain zaps and it is helping with the day-to-day life.
Those brain zaps are seizures - Paxil? that did it to me; my brain would actually reboot and for a second I wouldn't be able to integrate what my senses were telling me.
Where can I purchase?
I had those brain zaps coming off of SSRI meds and just couldn't handle it, thought I would be stuck on those meds forever. It was actually a dose of ketamine for me that completely eliminated the depression and side effects of coming off of those meds. Came straight off the meds without any tapering or brain zaps after that dose of K
Finally, people who put a word on those brain experiences "Zaps". I would get these sounds in my brain, like frequencies running through my head, they started after taking interferon for Hep-C for 9 months. I've been using Kratom for 3 yrs now which eliminates it as long as I use it everyday. But I don't want to be addicted to kratom anymore, it's affecting my body in a negative way.
I’ve heard many good things about psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms and their health benefits, I also heard it helps one get through addiction and depression. I’m just wondering where I can get my hands on them cause I’ll love to give it a try. I’m passing through a state of terrible depression lately.
Please how do you sources yours please?

Microdosing helps a lot with life, heroic doses twice a year have assisted me in making significant life changes for the better. Processing the death of my father was one of these big things. I'm not sad that he is gone but I feel thankful I had time with him for 40 years of my life. I'm grateful to these entheogens...I also quit smoking from one day to the next after 1 big experience. Life changing moments for sure.

What a lovely man. Appreciate his emphasis on ‘not discovering’ psychedelics and giving the necessary nod to indigenous peoples. Bless him.
I can attest to psilocybin's pain reducing benefits. Broke many bones over the last 10 yrs because of having up to 10 seizures a day (broke fingers, skull, toes, feet, arm, leg, knee, ankle, ribs and fractured neck and back. Had first signs of rheumatoid arthritis 20 years ago. I walked with more than a limp for many years (especially during cold weather). Constant pain for 20 years that ended 2 years ago after 1 healing session with psilocybin (not micro but not saying micro won't do same thing after months). 1 yr later ,when I felt it was time for another healing session, I felt the mushrooms were about to take effect so I decided to get up from couch, to get some water to drink during trip, and all the pain I used to have came back while walking to kitchen. I had to grab onto counter top to keep from falling. There I was trying to walk ten feet to kitchen and I couldn't walk even close to normal, probably looked like a 90 year old man with arthritis. The pain knocked the wind out of me! The thought that hit me was, "wow! I forgot about how much pain I used to constantly have!!!". And then it vanished again after maybe 30 seconds and all I was thinking was that I was given a reminder (since I had forgotten) of how much pain I was in for years so that I could tell others to try if needed or tell someone else that does need this healing. And of course my PTSD and depression is becoming nonexistent. Happy Healing

Fun fact, you can’t become addicted to weed. It’s not considered an addiction unless your body is physically dependent. You don’t have withdrawal when you quit smoking weed. I have smoked weed for several years and I picked it up and put it down many times. It’s more of a social thing to me though.

I have a corporate high stress position in the wine industry, heard about micro dosing, thought I’d give it a try at work in tiny doses instead of just occasional weekend fun. I started taking micro doses of mdma as part of my morning routine. Immediately the results at work were unbelievably fantastic. Senior management were applauding my new vigour and results. One manager even said whatever you’re doing bottle it and keep bringing it to work, of course I didn’t mention my secret and had a giggle to myself thinking if you only knew. A couple of weeks after starting my taboo experiment I was promoted to state manager. Truely a humbling adventure and a secret I kind of like having to myself as a female in a corporate world especially in the boardroom holding my own with all the powerful men. If you’re contemplating just try it you won’t regret it just make sure it really is 1/10 to a weekend dose otherwise things might get hairy.
mdma? what is it?
What is a store manager doing in the boardroom?
Why does western society accept stress as normal and nessecery thing. You are basically judged on how much stress you can handle in the work place and life is already hard enough
Microdosing MDMA sounds problematic neurotoxicity wise. What exactly was your dosing and schedule as it sounds fascinating
Ga Wa not a store manager lol
"Those of you who are into neuroanatomy and brain chemistry and all of the things that have not actually proved very useful yet, but you get those great pictures." As a medical doctor, this statement is so true! The functional MRIs, etc. simply lead to more theories about brain chemistry. Pick up a Physician's Desk Reference, the "bible" of medications, and you'll see all psychoactive drugs note the medicine "may" do this and that. All theory!
I have red-green colorblindness too, and i never knew that the phenomenon of "seeing tracers for 1-3 days after dosing" was something special to people with this problem.
I have a very hippie family who all gave us their own rundowns on what to expect. They said you should *ALWAYS* take the next day off no matter how much or little you take, just to recoup. They also said you may feel "a little raw for one to 3 days after, too".
I microdose once a week on Sundays. Its helped me go from a spiritually void person into someone who explores religious and spiritual texts. Its helped me feel more active and i get a lot of cleaning and outdoors work done, from gardening to shoveling snow for the elderly neighbors/landlord.
It also helps in painting. I never do fine detail work on any drug, i even limit my caffeine intake. But when im starting a painting, ill do the inital drawing, take my microdose, then get into the first layer of paint.
It does seem to help me think of better ways to portray shapes and silhouettes, and i get better color mixtures too. I wind up doing very little corrective work.
I also noticed taking vitamin A and complex B vitamins reduce tracers and other visual oddities from being noticed, but they're still there.
Though to be honest, i thought i saw tracers my entire life, so when i noticed them after tripping/microdoses, i didnt think much of it. But it makes me take dosing more seriously. I have my grocerys for the whole week already bought, i make sure i dont have appointments or obligations to meet. I avoid driving at all costs for at least 1-2 days. Ive made it work and i still see benefits from my "once weekly" method
I was an avowed atheist until my first mushroom experience. I had taken acid several times before, but lying awake at 3am thinking about life and existence, suddenly a creator was the only thing that made sense. Never looked back. It took another 10 years to become a Christian. Stubborn guy.

ACID made my bit too hyper and not so focused
this is amazing. it seems our non-conventional treatments are as effective or more than clinical solutions. I'm about to micro-dose on some mushrooms because I saw this video.
Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked.Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.
I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
dr.perryshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Been through this conversation before. I can’t do anything without a proper medical professional following me.
Psychedelic therapy treats mental health issues, anxiety and depression. Likely will be one of the most profound experiences a human can have in a lifetime
hm. Can dr.perryshroom dispatch to me in Tx?
Best video in years, starting monday, i have anxiety, depression etc Can't wait to see...
Any news? :)
How did it go
No update?
Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress disorders. Saved my life
When I tied my daily, all-day use of cannabis to my waking up each morning questioning my value, and why was I even here, I quit cold-turkey and started microdosing psilocybin. I feel human again. Now even a small dose of cannabis (in any form) gives me a raging all-day-long headache the next day. Go figure.
Wow
do you have to microdose everyday on psilocybin or can you stop after a while? I mean the mushroom is illegal where im from and hard to get a hold of, so not available for everyday use
I was a daily cannabis smoker for about two years. I did mushrooms one time and I have not smoked in two and a half months.
@@sevenlines2238 how many grams did you do? By the way, congrats on your success.
@@Tomato41866 2.5. Not a big dose at all. Just go into your trip with intention.
I listened to this and read something by James Fadiman, and the began microdosing CDB + plus a touch of THC tincture a couple of weeks ago, and the difference in both my sleep patterns and pain levels is amazing. I've had fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, arthritis and spinal problems for a long time. I'm incredibly grateful for the difference this has made.
hey Jessica, would you share dosing? I have had fibro for 40 years and it's NOT getting better. CBD alone does nothing and smoking makes me too high.
@@iamcrispy7004 I take a very low dose -- standard dose for what I take is about 1/2 dropper full (one good squeeze of the bulb) and that is somewhere between 25 and 30 actual drops. I usually take 1 drop a day and when things are especially hard, may take up to four but not usually. I recommend starting very low, with one drop only. More is not necessarily better -- in fact, if it works at all like homeopathy, less is more powerful.
@@jessicamacbeth1723 Thanks but what is the concentration of CBD?
It usually says the total amount per 1 oz bottle (like 250-500mg)
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

I'm three doses in and could not be more pleased it's the first time in probably 4 years that I've had a break from depression PTSD and my fibromyalgia it seems to be helping all of them but I don't know of course I'm only three doses in so who knows anyway I'm pretty tickled loved your video very great I like how you keep it comical I'm looking forward to having a better life
29:40 "...don't use for anxiety..." - my personal experience: I suffered from anxiety for the past 2-3 years, it got increasingly bad last fall. Still recovering very slowly. Started microdosing three week ago. Anxiety is all but gone. Instantly. Just my experience.
Even back in the day when I practiced Pharmacy, I would always tell patients that ANYTHING that creates an effective placebo effect is the MOST REAL, BEST, most EFFECTIVE medication with the lowest "side effects" available.
I suffered from cluster headaches for two years. Out of sheer desperation I took a larger dose of lsd to escape the pain. Just to distract. Little did I know that when I took those doses I was curing my disease. Here I am 7 years later I am cluster headache free. Besides the obvious message that psychedelics give u ,ppl need to wake up and acknowledge the serious medicinal qualities. Cluster headaches, mental illness, and self discovery.
I just microdosed for the first time earlier today and I didn’t feel anything till a couple hours later. I had help and understanding from my brother as well. I believe I had past trauma I was holding on to and talking about it helps relieve some stress. I was getting tense and I hadn’t eaten and my blood sugar levels were driving me crazy so we meditated and spoke some positive things out loud and then we walked outside and so far I have learned that I had past trauma that was clinging on to me still. I know now that it’s deeper understanding that takes place when you try shrooms or even when you microdose like how I did
That's a load of crap dude,sorry.
How does it affect the brain over the long haul. My son has been on Adderall in the mornings and cannabis in the evenings for so many years that it’s affecting his way of thinking and his personality. He has become very wounded and narcissistic. I feel a part of his mind and personality has he’d damaged which is devastating as a mother. He’s just not rational, nor willing to work through it, or go to a professional to even do family counseling. I feel his whole perception is a skewed. In this lecture, it’s mentioned that some people can get off Adderall. Years ago, my son said he couldn’t get off Adderall because he felt too depressed when he was off of it. I just wonder how any substance that is taken over a long period affect brain. Very fascinating lecture!
I promise you those toxic drugs are killing your son slowly. Microdosing changed my life. 24 years of different mental health medications and every one taking its toll on my health, just a week of microdosing changed my whilst mindset
Microdosing actually causes neuroplasticity which means that you can grow new neural pathways which has a major effect in behaviour, as most people are stuck in a behaviour pattern and can’t get out. I can honestly tell you that it changed my life so quickly I was stunned and actually called the gp to question them as to why they have allowed me to take toxic medications for years that had literally dulled me so much I didn’t care about anyone or anything, however never once had they told me of these alternative therapies that are literally changing lives worldwide.. they don’t want us to get better hence why mushrooms which grow freely in the ground are demonised and made illegal. Shocking it really is
For 15 years I have been on debilitating medications for Cluster Headaches which didn't help with this extremely painful affliction. Oxygen was my go to abortive but you have to wait until you have an attack to use it and that was a minimum of twice a night, every night. I was cynical about any miracle treatment but was offered some magic mushrooms preserved in honey by my brother who knew a hippy that grew them. I was without pain for the first time in months after the first teaspoon of honey and had a half a cap the next 2 days. 5 days later and still no clusters. It will take me a while to adjust my mindset to a life without agony. I just feel great ! I still have to ween off steroids, antidepressants and very high dose of blood pressure tablets but I feel confident and calm about it. I really hope others can benefit from this wonderful, inexpensive natural medicine. Thankyou.
I always make them on my own. Take a dose for a moderate trip and then cut that dose down. Turn your mushrooms into powder and buy empty organic capsules. Add ginger, peppermint and powdered licorice into the capsule as well. It will help your stomach digest without the nausea. My next batch I am increasing the dose of Psilocybin…. As there are deeper issues. But, in just three months of Microdosing everything has changed for the better. Make your own!
Well explained...loved this discussion thank you
James....you're funny!! I thought this was going to be serious. I laughed through the video. Keep up your great work!!! Thank you!!!
I love micro dosing to quickly get into flow state ...they make me work harder at creating , lasts a couple days for me.
What's a good website or video that explains how to microdose properly? I don't wanna go overboard and start tripping out.
VERY nice ! Looks like finally we may be moving foward and progressing possibly.
Very simple and makes so much common sence.
Great talk! Short, sweet, to the point and entertaining. Bravo!

PTSD. Every morning the same thoughts of tragedy and loss and the frustration of past event. Gone but close by at best. Now my mornings are more about the daily tasks. Those bed thoughts are more like a house I just don’t want to visit and have the control not to.
I'm now trying Lexepro for same dread on waking. Where can I try what you use. I just have 2 nights of Lex..want to stop but I need relief.
Kirstin Strand I know you’re suffering and don’t want to be attacked every morning with these pointless thoughts of the rotten past.
Shroom no doubt helped me break that chain. I can think of it but also turn away from it now. Easily change the thoughts. I feel so much better having control now. Shrooms did that. I took for about 10 months or so. Just a tiny amount twice a week. Thursday and Sunday mornings. I stopped Micro dosing 2 months ago and the effect has remained.
I say find a high end pot dealer who only sells 1oz bags min. He/she, might just know how to get shrooms. Do you know a farmer ? Shrooms grow naturally on cow pooh horse Pooh. I think you can buy a kit online too.
I tried it from the data for PTSD. That and there was no downside. Get as much as you can and twice a week take a little bit. If you notice color changes on your vision then cut back on the amount. You shouldn’t notice any high like reactions. I wish you a cure. It certainly helped me.
PS, there’s a reason the rearview mirror is smaller then the windshield. We can’t change the past but can Direct some of the future. I’m not a doctor, or professional in these matters. I just giving my experience and suggestions. I’ve tried many antidepressants but the thoughts never changed. Only my inner wellbeing was uplifted a bit.
I take Zoloft too. Just because my health is so poor as I lost my leg and damage some of my spine.
Certainly life is so much better without the daily thinking of blood and carnage. Also my older brothers are drunks and bullies. I’m 53 and still they treat me as a child. I had to scrap them off. Not easy for me but the other option was unending conflict. After doing that I am in a better place.
@@Stevon987 thank you so much for sharing. I'm better now from meditating 20 minutes a day. Check out Alan Watts - he has a 15 minute video on meditation. I looked into shrooms when i first wrote the above comment, but i could only get the from the U.K. Now I'm ready to buy a kit to grow.
I sprout seeds for salads, i should be able to do mushrooms. I occassionally see mushrooms walking, are all mushrooms safe in micro doses? I'm sorry to learn of your PTSD and painful memories, and your missing limb. I hope you find this, btw, my sibs are not my friends, either.
Take care.
Im feeling your ptsd symptoms. I hope I get the courage to try micro dosing and I hope it helps.
What a wonderfull man!! What a wonderfull information!! 🍄😍
Funny to me that he concludes that people with red-green color blindness should not microdose. My first thought upon hearing that they have enhanced/increased tracers is that they should do more/microdose more frequently to see if that changes.
They didn't want to continue. They dropped out of the study.
He also said 29:40 people with anxiety should not microdose but that's idiocy cos it helps with anxiety..
I hope all these testimonials are real as I just started my first day of microdosing today! I always get hopeful that something will help me and then I get knocked back down on my butt! I'm really hoping this works for me 🤞🤞🤞
How's it going for you? Is it as miraculous as they say?
@Wander Lusterer it's been going well actually. Definitely the first week I noticed a big difference. I was super happy lol. That was nice. I'm not so super happy anymore but I do notice a subtle difference in my anxiety and depression. I wouldn't say it's the miracle they say it is but it does help. If you're struggling I would give it a try for sure. It can't hurt unlike SSRI's. Any other questions feel free to ask.
@@danielleswain7929 Thank you for answering my question. It's helpful to get an insight before trying these remedies out as the Internet can be full of "hype". So happy that it's helped in some form. Peace and strength to you🙏😎
i stared last week with BV/FTD/ALS having reMARKable improvement & pain decreased greatly
Over the past seven years, my depression and anxiety have grown to debilitating levels. I cut all alcohol and most sugar out of diet about 8 months ago, and I started losing weight, but was still depressed. I needed to see a dentist and my anxiety was so bad, my doctor wanted to put me on BUSPAR. After doing some research on the drug, I decided to micro dose with psilocybin instead. I had the psilocybin source material and I mixed it with dark chocolate into 10 mcg lozenges. I took it once a day for a week straight and then tapered back to the 1 in 3 schedule. Since then, I've seen the dentist, mended some fences with my kids, and my days are much 'Better' than they were before. I will continue to do this as long as it continues to work.
For psychic disorders of all kind magnesium can do a lot. I take epsom salt half of teaspoon with meals, this amount does not have purgative effect, and it brings a lot of magnesium. I sleep way better, handle stress remarkable better (I work in prison), my erection are stronger(apparently epinephrine prevents penile veins to close and hold an erection, magnesium deficiency raises epinephrine hence anxiety)...

Good point! Magnesium deficiency is pandemic too.
I would participate without hesitation .
At 12:37 he’s saying it’s good for bipolar!??? This makes me happy. I’m bipolar and it’s great to hear some hope. I think people say not too use it because they use too much and it “may” send them into a manic episode. I’ve read millions of people on reddit using shrooms and bipolar, and the majority say they can take it without bad effects. It’s a RUMOR that it’s a bad mix with lithium. And that’s not true. That’s only true for LSD. Please let the world know I microdose and use 900 mg of lithium a day.
Why take what does it help? I was on 1200 for a while after being physically and psycho enslaved by big pharma, off of it for over a year on only CBD.
Try tapering slightly (safely) the lithium dose when you micro. Lithium is essentially killing the "magic" in your micros (of either substance) you micro with. The goal should be to micro to feel better to come away from the meds eventually . Good lucky ; )
GreGgaeRasta Fari - which CBD? What dose? There’s so much advertising I can find real information. Thanks.
@@ras_krystafari3333 CBD help you ? I start it 3 days ago and was looking in microdising mushrooms, but if I understand CBD help you ? Please I need encouragment 🙏
It can trigger mania. As you know, sometimes we don't need to be more UP.
But depressive phase, especially the crash after manic episodes....
Theres a local 'shroom that alters serotonin levels. But, only has a trace of psylocybins.
Some century it may get researched.
I started to micro dose 0.2 mg last yr and was on the 1 day on 2 off for a while. I actually found it hard to keep the schedule being I had to change the alarm and would forget. I missed 3 or doses and actually feel like my depression came back ten fold, never have I had a low like that! Made me wonder if I need a larger does to "reset" my brain and then carry on but Got back on them and made it a mon and fri does so I could have an alarm for each and never miss it again. I'm still taking them and started to grow my own. I need to test the potency of them, this wknd I think :) Still not improving motivation but negative thoughts do not linger and that is a good thing.
@katherine jones please get lost with this bullshit. Can you NOT READ I grow my own.
Addiction or what coz depression ten fold if u don't take means would lead u to be dependent on it for lifetime

Brilliant! Thank you for this invaluable science. I have severe ADHD and can't wait to test it. I am a very new researcher into the miraculous affects of psilocybin microdosing. My first introduction to it was Joe Rogen's interview with Paul Stemets.

Best thing i ever did ❤
Skip ahead to past minute 10, if you're wanting to hear the results. He prefaces for a third of his speech.
I know a store on Instagram, they got sold me some mushrooms.
I had been on anti-depressants for almost two years when I decided to quit. Even though I didn't go cold turkey (I weened myself off the meds over a period of two weeks), and the specific medication was sold to me as "one of the safest and least addictive anti-depressants on the market", I still felt some withdrawal symptoms. The weirdest being a type of 'vertigo' that would come and go.
I took half a tab of LSD (not sure what the dosage was) and enjoyed the experience. The next day, my vertigo was gone!
I love it how the moment you post a comment on magic mushrooms, you get bombarded by comments from suppliers.
I grow my own guys, and so should everyone else.
@@TheMachineMother84 exactly. 😂 And about 99 percent of them don't even sell they just scam. One of my Facebook friends got scammed by 12 different ones before finding me and I sent them to him for free. 🤣
