Well, not always. People are VERY MUCH talking about micro-dosing in regards to healing, as in healing your soul etc. I would like to do it but not to get high.
Thank you Dr. B and all the encouraging comments. I will call the 1800# as soon as I try and get my frozen water inlet line fixed while trying to deal with these horrid withdraws. I can't even think straight.
Microdosing psychedelic mushrooms is just an exceptional discovery in the mental health space. It’s quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Doctor.jeremyy is your guy. The best shrooms and psychedelics guy I know
Yes.
Doctor.jeremyy
Can Doctor.jeremyy post to me in AZ?
Of course, he delivers anywhere, and discreetly as well.
Psychedelics have been around for thousands and thousands of years to use the same way. You're just beginning to see the lies. They've been lying to you and showing you the truth that's the truth Without the spore of mushrooms, we on Earth would never even survive without the missile in the soil. In the communication between the plants and everything that took place during are inhabitant. Without mushrooms, you wouldn't be alive. The sport of mushrooms so thank mushrooms for your life
Before psilocybin, my life had no meaning. I didn't care if I died or not. I guess I was sorta sticking around because my mother would be sad if I were gone. After psilocybin, I had one of the noetic experiences and found meaning in why I want to live.
It was so powerful and wonderful, and I look back thinking I could have ever wanted to end it all. I can't even remember why I was so sad, I simply was.
Mushrooms are without a doubt one of the best things on this existence when it comes to self improvement and simply enjoying life. It's something people should do at least once, I don't care what anyone says. It's life changing stuff.
I have always wanted to try em how do I get em?

I get mine from him!!
Is he on IG?
Yea, dr_xzavier!!!
It saved my life, 40yrs addicted to alcohol and after 3rd dose - 9th day, no DTs no shakes and no want for anything to do with alcohol, also it got rid of my anxiety and depression.
Weirdly it’s helped with my dyslexia, so now I’m able to read.
It’s a true game changer especially if you don’t want to get high - which I certainly do not want.
I gather this is why it was made illegal simply because of the big pharmaceutical industry loosing out.
What did you take?
@@hearme4581 a micro dose of L
"the third dose" makes me think that you took full doses, not microdoses. Am I right?
Which drug did u micro dose
@@aurorasfantasyland1970 i very much doubt that they microdosed. This sounds like someone who has been taking full doses in a therapeutic setting.
One night of Ayahuasca cured my 30 + years of alcoholism, I haven't had a drink for almost 4 years, and I have kept alcohol in the house for culinary purposes ever since, and have never been tempted. I believe it rewired my brain.
Sure. But this is not a microdose. For me, full psychedelic ceremonies have also been incredibly transformative. But microdosing has been completely useless for me.
@@dasGagaTierMicrodosing helps my occipital neuralgia pain I have from being partially spinally decapitated. Best thing to microdose is cactus. Or Methallylescaline........
Always such interesting discussions. This is by far the best channel on UA-cam because it’s relevant, factual, supportive & honest. Thank you, thank you, thank you from Sydney Australia (covid free country)
I’ll visit someday and thank you
@@DrBAddictionRecovery don’t think our boarders will be open for many years unfortunately but it’s a lovely thought if you & some of your team could visit. Call it a “conference” then you can tax deduct your entire trip! 👌🏼
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?
Doc.Brent
I source from him
Yeah doc.Brent
I have never really tried magic mushroom before. Similar to Dmt??. How do people feel on them anyone?
Doc. brent_ healed me of bipolar disorder alcohol addiction.
Clean off opiates today because of microdosing psilocybin! My life has completely changed for the better. Psilocybin saved my life literally
You ARE the BEST Dr. Banimahd ❤️
WOW... Very interesting! Thank you for your explanation about these substances.
I am cutting down on my sugar intake and your videos are compensating :-)
Nadim! That is amazing!
Awesome 👏🏼
Thank you so very much for vlogging!
Microdosing is becoming a amazing tool in benzo tapering. Unfortunately alot of doctors that have had their patients on all different types of benzos for double digit years and then wanna cold turkey cut them off of taper them off in 4 weeks which brings on horrible withdrawal.
Cold Turkey off Benzos can kill you.
Are you saying micro dosing psilocybin or lsd can be effective for benzo tapering?
I've had the worst withdrawals from benzos Iit eas worse than methadone 100 times worse...now I'm going through a slow taper and I still feel really crappy 😢
BTW I was on benzos for 20 years
People are crazy enough now, I do not want people tripping around me.
No one is tripping when microdosing
Some studies have shown that the active substance in mushrooms (psilocybin) might be helpful for cluster headaches in particular, but also treatment resistant chronic migraines.
One study in Denmark showed that there was a statistically significant effect in reducing migraine episodes in 2/3 of subjects which lasted up to 2 weeks in some people, which is really amazing if true, since no other medication for migraines does this. The active ingredient was chemically pure and not actually mushrooms, and the dose was pretty large, so not microdosing. The study said different doses need to be tried and other things, since it was a small study.
I have occipital neuralgia from being partially spinally decapitated. I had my neck fused front and back. Something that helps my pain more than mushrooms is cactus. Or methallylescaline. 2mg microdose and my headache is gone for 2 days. I had the headache almost 20 years so far.
Thank you very much for your insight and sharing of your work and knowledge of medications! I hope other doctors follow you’re lead. You’re an amazing doctor and I wish you all the best in your practice and patients!
Good answer. A smart person asks questions.
Thanks for your honest opinion
Our hero!
People say that acid microdosing are better for ADHD, productivity and creativity. Shrooms are better for anxiety, socializing, depression and creativity.
I just came here from your TikTok live…✋🏽
Is anyone in this comment section actually listening to what this man is saying? It doesn’t seem like it.
A doctor that understands drug dependence specifically should be able to treat us with any drug that potentially or not may improve our life.. Why are there laws making drugs that have obvious therapeutic value schedule 1 and alcohol is not a scheduled drug?
Alcohol, cigarettes etc provide a huge income revenue for our governments because they’re taxed. If schedule 1 drugs were freely available like alcohol is, people wouldn’t be able to afford them. It’s a sick & twisted system.
The first part of the question is a good one. The second part - because we've already done it and it doesn't work; it caused more problems than it solved. Remember prohibition?
The system is plain evil. But with that said, there aren't a great many people who can't drink moderately. We who over drink and become alcoholic are a low percentage of the population. I started drinking as a kid at 11 years old. My life has been a lifelong struggle with alcohol and anxiety and pain management all connected to childhood extreme trauma. Consequently I have at 59 quit drinking yet again nearly 5 months. I chose to get on methadone for chronic pain while in a alcohol and drug treatment program. It never occurred to me that I was taking the worst drug ever invented! This apparently gets in the tissues of the body and brain and does not want to leave without first totally torturing the host. I only took this methodone for less than 2 months and then jumped off of it cold turkey at 30 milligrams. I've nearly committed suicide twice in the last month. Winding me in E.R. both times. I'm using low dose Kratom now to help me but it barely helps. WOW I might opt to die instead because it's truly that bad!! I feel for each and all who just wanted to have a better quality of life so took medicine for the pain. I guess the lesson is there's never a magic thing that can make all our boo boos go away. It's a mind and eventually maybe a soul trap as well
I'm going to fight until I can't take another day of torture but only because I'm afraid of death and hell. 😢
The more harming to the body the more legal it is, coming to sugar..
I am interested in ibogaine I did a flood dose 12 years ago and had great results with acute and lost acute withdrawal.. Maybe a bit of research and video? Thanks Dr. B!!
*post acute
Not the people in the comments throwing a hissy fit just because an expert said theres no sustainable research + reasonable skepticism for the actual science of microdosing. Most of you don't care about any potential impacts, you only clicked on this video to rattle on about your own agenda 💀 I mean believe whatever you want works for you, that's fine-everything is open to change the more we find out. Just don't be a blind zealot ffs
Well said I don’t think anyone is really listening to what he is saying.especially about how at one time or another we have jumped on all kinds of drug band wagons that ultimately haven’t been good for society as a whole.
Micro dosing really is extremely helpful. Its not intoxicating at all and it really can help a lot with many issues. Smoking marijuana is more intoxicating and has more of a negative effect in my opinion. Micro dosing helps me be more creative, positive, and more productive in general. All of that without feeling overwhelming or too good to be true like Adderall.
Telling us what we need to know. Just the facts. Thank You❤️❤️❤️i was wandering what was micro dosing . A lot of people talk about it.
Salam Doctor B . Very sensible answer. Huge respect. There's a lot of hype and hysteria as you said.
ANSWERS TAKE TIME.
I've read on some drug forums , that these drugs have really ruined some people's lives. Microdose or not.
Thank you very much
Dr, B I have talked to a few docs, and no two docs have the same opinion,,,as mention 67 yrs old have tried everything for sleep meds, otc, counselling, EMDR and list goes on ,,4 yrs of helllllll I ask a simple question I am 67, if i can get 10 decent yrs great, my time here on earth is going by fast, and fighting insomia I dont want to be a part, of anymore ,,So can I take a benzo like ativan for the next 10yrs somewhat safe ???? if not ativan what ??.... thank you Dr
Very very informative and interesting. My question is, what about taking tiny amounts of Suboxone. I’m on the 4 mg strips and take 2 mg a day of Suboxone but I take about 6 to 8 little pieces a day. Is this ok? I was taking them 3 times a day when I was getting the 8 mg strips but now I’m getting the huge strips and they taste so strong that I will actually throw up if I take a piece bigger that what I’m taking now. I would love to hear a video about this topic. Thanks doc!
I’ve never heard of the huge strips 😳
@@maclardy oh yes the 4 mg strips are twice as big as the 8 mg. Now I’m on the 2 mg strips, bc I’m down to 1.5 mg. The 2 mg strips are the same size as the 8 mg strips.
@@angieirvin2298 😲 what on Earth???? How has your taper been? Was it hard or did it take a long time to get from 6mg’s to 4mg’s? At what dose did you really notice the drop?
Best of luck 💕
How’s the taper? I’m doing the same but want to try microdosing mushrooms to taper bup
Dr B I am in MAT I'm on subutex 8mg 2 x day. I do have degenerative disc disease and have severe pain, I was wondering if maybe a doctor could help if I could micro dose the subutex as to control pain and help with addiction? I have been in narcotics for over 30 yrs, I was determined I was going to try to get off opioids and see if I could handle the pain!
Hi how are you now? I’m in a similar position
Sugar and salt are the fuels of life good Doctor!
So how do I get doctor to prescribed such a medication and what s the name of them that would be in a pharmacy or do I just gotta use the other way of obtaining such a thing
What about taking psilocybin to taper off methadone ??? Also read about Ketamine therapy and MDMA , very curious if these could help someone taper off methadone permanently?
You gotta to research first don't just take them. I got good recommendations from phillip_shrooms on instagram.
Lucky for all those who have access to try this.i don't and wish I could try .the uk has (at least where I am) have no access to such compounds.
Neither does Australia 🙄
@@maclardy well josie were shit out of luck.if you manage to source such an item let me know how you get on.👍👍👍👍
@@danm3195 we don’t even have bupropion (Wellbutrin) in Australia. We’re a bunch of straighties. No kratom either but that’s good because Dr B hates it (& for good reason).
USA seems to have everything.... 😒
I don’t understand how chiropractors call themselves doctors over there though & go around spreading misleading “medical” advice. But that’s another topic 🤣🤣🤣
Can I use this info for my
Podcast?
My last benzo was Dec. 23rd. I think I am going out of my mind. Going to try kratom, I know you are against this but if I don't get something I will loose my mind. Love your videos. Still wishing you treated people in Cincinnati!!!
No don’t. Call us. Why don’t you come out here for a bit.
I'm gonna pray for you right now. 💙🙏
I hope you feel better soon but I have to ask, why would you use kratom for benzo withdrawals when the 2 drugs aren't related? I mean, you'd be treating a benzo withdrawal with an opiate.
Rebecca give us a call 1800-779-4715
Were you taken off benzos abruptly or did you taper?
Love the images that pop up during the discussions! Adds a bit of visual interest - not saying you’re not interesting to watch for 15 minutes.... How about messing with us & throw in a few totally irrelevant images eg of your baby 🤗🥰, the Eiffel Tower, a donkey - just to keep us on our toes? 😂
Lol

I tried microdosing mushrooms for some weeks, but it did nothing to me. Either I took too much and was distracted and fatigued or I took too little and felt no effect at all.
By contrast, full dosages in a therapeutic setting have been incredibly beneficial to me, lifting me out of a truly major depression.
I’m an advocate for a full a dose to get therapeutic effects
Thats how mushrooms are. I dont find them useful microdosing everyday on em or every other day. They lose their tolerance and mushrooms themselves will tell you when youve had enough
Micro-dose every 4 days for 10 weeks
I would suggest lsd for microdosing. Shrooms are much more unpredictable.
Microdosing works to help my occipital neuralgia pain I got from being partially spinally decapitated. I had the pain almost 20 years now. Got my neck fused front and back. Best thing I found so far to microdose is Methallylescaline. Helps my pain for 2 days straight from 2mg.
It started with extreme sports guys in the 80s to hone in on hand eye coordination
I used microdosing mushrooms and lsd both they helpt me allot they healed my depression and anxiety
I'm going to try it for ADHD
I've never been an addict. But my body is in terrible pain. I don't want to get high. I don't drink or smoke hemp or anything. But I have severe depression, TBI now the very pain meds that kept my nerve pain to a dull roar has been discontinued with no notice. I am not living. I have no quality of life. I just want something that can help me feel ok.
Cactus brings me the best pain relief. Microdosing. Actually look into Methallylescaline.
My experience on psychedelics was the best experience of my life time, I'm glad I discovered this online store where I usually order mine from, they sell and ship all kinds of psychedelic products discreetly…

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:40 🍄 Microdosing involves taking much smaller doses of substances like LSD and mushrooms than typically used for recreational purposes.
01:47 🏢 Microdosing psychedelics became popular in Silicon Valley and is claimed to enhance creativity, mood, productivity, and potentially help with anxiety and depression.
03:11 🤔 There are expectations that microdosing may expand to various applications, including pain management, PTSD, and mental health, similar to how other medications have evolved.
05:00 🧪 Studies on microdosing's effectiveness are ongoing, but they are limited in design and population groups, making it challenging to draw definitive conclusions.
08:15 ⚠️ Proceed with caution regarding microdosing, especially if you have mental disorders, as many questions remain about its safety, long-term effects, and appropriate dosages.
11:57 🌿 While there's interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, there's also concern about profit-driven marketing and propaganda surrounding these substances.

What are we supposed to get out of the side angle?
You r a cool dr u seem to understand all about addiction an take a keen interest shame your not in Great Britain
Do people develop a tolerance in microdosing, and over time, have to increase the dose every few months?
lol just take the day after off and you are good to go. Cannabis on the other hand the tolerance is a definite thing. I remember back when I first started smoking weed I would get trippy effects from it.
I'll hook you up with this mycologist whose been my guide for some time. His got LSD, DMT, MDMA, MUSHROOMS, CHOCOLATE BARS, GUMMIES, ETC…

It helped me very much with the anhedonia of PAWS.
Sir you are not addressing a Doctor's seminar but just giving your opinion on try microdosing. So instead of going around & around come straight to the point which people are waiting for your speculations. Regards
I say this with kindness and the desire to help someone who is providing a much needed service to the world: you guys need to work with someone to manage your UA-cam strategy. The content itself is great, but the titles/tags/descriptions/etc just aren’t optimized for channel growth, and that’s likely why your videos aren’t getting a ton of views after all of this time. Lots of freelance marketers looking for work right now, you should capitalize on that!
Thankyou, But we actually have an AMAZING team doing all this. UA-cam is very picky when it comes to these types of topics. We have actually went from only seeing about 200 subscribers a month growth to over 1000 subscribers a month. Consistency is key.
I had no idea about UA-cam algorithms 🤯
I’m so relieved the discussion aren’t interrupted by ads. I’d better go back & “like” everything. I didn’t know how important it was.
The pharmacist also producting im done for today!
why don't old people (over 60) use lsd.
6:56, what you mean by "scouge" is "scourge"
@hannahwilliamsz I watched this video because I was hoping that Dr. B's "Honest Opinion" would include whether he thought microdosing had an effect (other than the placebo effect) --- which I see as being the first question somebody considering microdosing would want an answer to. I had to watch for fifteen minutes to find out that he wasn't going to give an opinion on that. My disappointment was turned to irritation by the fact that he tried impressing his audience by using a five-dollar word that he didn't even know how to pronounce.
I’d like some information about micro dosing on subs. I’ve heard that I can start on subs by micro dosing without the need to detox off opioids.
This can & is already being done. You don’t have to go into a full withdrawal to commence subs. It doesn’t have to be an uncomfortable transfer at all but if you’ve become accustomed to a certain amount of opioids, you’ll probably want your sub dose to be equivalent to that at first or else you’ll still crave opioids & that’s what you want to avoid. Once you’ve found a comfortable dose of suboxone, you can taper off as fast or slowly as you’re comfortable with. No one can force you to take a strip. I hope that made sense.
I have a small supply of LSD. Every time I take it I turn into the worst opiate addict. Didn't used to affect me like that
Please elaborate
@@J_L_Asmall doses of magic mushrooms a few times a week helps me stay sober off hard drugs while on Suboxone. I will relapse if i try this with LSD
Yes. More research is needed. The one bright spot is that big pharma does not currently have a horse in this race. When big pharma is involved, everyone loses.
Proceed with caution? These things take time? Meanwhile, we continue to die or suffer! What’s the FU&@ing HOLDUP? Money? What’s more important that our govt. is waisting money on?? When weighing the risk to the benefits..,other than for people with mental disorders, psychiatric condition or long-term effects…WHAT ARE THOSE RISKS?? I’m
willing to take them than to continue suffering from opiate addiction!! Why can’t I MAKE THAT CHOICE?
Psychedelics can enhance problem solving skills and creativity but it can also enhance mental illness and intensify them. There are many people that have no business ever using these drugs.
And there many more people that have every right and Should Take them! Why are they (the illegal ones) not available in the US? Makes me believe that an industry or two are making it difficult to legalize because that would reduce “their profits!” Always about money! The greed is so disheartening!! 😢
I tripped on mushrooms and they stopped me from drinking alcohol. It also made me realize what a pos I was and how I needed to be there for my family some more. This was on a 2gram trip.
we have scientists, and curious people willing to help said scientists with their experiments.
but unable to thanks mostly to silly laws based on a silly history that is not silly but tragic.
these bad old ideas hinder progress that could potentially save many people. and some are more than willing to try and help to find that out! as that's how we advance and make a better future for all
13:01 wtf was that? you havin a party outside?
Not a doctor,yet I have been around.biology is a trickster this could be catastrophic!
Oh just staring at that bag of mushrooms.

Thus is what im doing to help get off suboxen went from 2 suboxem 8mg/2mg a day and im now at half of a suboxen fils evwry othwr day slowely gettung off this crutch
So you dropped from 16mg (2 films) down to half a film every 2nd day - that’s only 2mg / day! That’s fantastic!
@@maclardy ya it was a struggle at 1st but I eventually gotten use to it now I'm stuck at 2mg every other day

Omg - 1mg / day is incredible! Don’t rush it - what’s the point? You’ll reach your goal in time. I’m so impressed & so pleased that you’re following Dr B’s sound advice. I hope you keep us posted especially since you’re on such a low dose now. I’ve heard that people cut their strips into 16 tiny pieces. Just don’t beat yourself up about being on 1mg. 👏🏼
@@maclardy thank u for the support ..support is 50% of the battle
@@JR-gw3by don’t leave this channel!
How long did this process take you?
You're ignoring that this is not only a trend because psychedelics had been discovered long ago but rendered illegal.
The illegality of those substances and especially the fact that they were qualified as Schedule 1, without therapeutic benefits, gave them bad reputation so their use was not so widespread.
Unsurprisingly, you're using the word caution many times, while it is evident that some people have to be more careful than others.
You're not saying that with any kind of medication, we have to be always careful with the dosage, whether is Tylenol, Aspirin or LSD.
If all these positive effects people are talking about are the result of placebo effect, this is the cheapest placebo we can get. It costs me about 80$ a year and I enjoy the benefits consistently.
I already jumped in this wagon after many years of resisting it.
Microdosing has changed my life and the ones of many of my friends, relatives and clients.
can it help with getting off benzos?
@Douglas Wendy so just follow a microdose protocol while tapering down on the benzos?
It doesn’t work honestly especially coming off a brick a day 🤷🏼♂️
You gotta to research first don't just take them. I got good recommendations from phillip_shrooms on instagram.
Microdosing is the same as extended release medicines. Well the idea anyway
have you ever micro dosed bro.
If he had he could not say this on internet
Hey, the right way to do. It is just to take a dose of some good LSD 50 to a 100 mikes. If you want to take 250 mikes and really get high, that's the way to do it. But don't b******* with this thing microdosing. That's c*** dose and have the real trip and get the real work done. It's work If you're not wired for the first place, you should never even do it. You gotta find out if you're wired for this kind of thing. That's the whole thing and it has to be laboratorial clean But psychedelics is what this planet needs and everybody needs to embrace. This is the only solution we have to get this b******* war. Stopping all this c*** and get back into green living and right. Living on planet earth without these kind of instruments to take will never achieve it 50yrs experience .psychedelics saved my life.And love 4 all.

Does large amounts of psychedelics fall under the microdosing category?
PLEASE trip. it challenges your life.... its not pleasant. i have an 8th of shrooms in my drawer but i don't want to take it because its like a godly parent. challenging your beliefs should be the default though.
