    For anyone wondering, I did a little bit of research and it looks like the study was supposed to start in April 2021 and then it would take 18 months until it’s completed. Not sure if they actually began that April though

    I appreciate all of the work and research gone into this, I believe psilocybin can be a powerful healer. However as someone that has had HPPD for 6 years with constant visuals that interfere everyday with my vision (to the point where I sometimes have to leave situations to sit in a dark room and reset my vision) as it alterers my ability to concentrate in certain situations, I wouldn't subjugate this condition's definition to a mere twinkle of the eye for a few sporadic days. It is very unrecognised still and there is minimal help out there. Mine was triggered after someone spiked me with a very large dose of LSD. I don't imagine such effects would need to be worried about at the doses you currently work with though. Even with HPPD, I believe in the power of psilocybin and will continue to use sporadically to help with depression. Thanks for your work.

      Sorry you're suffering. Unfortunately, you might have been dosed with a very large dose of something that WASN'T LSD. The great thing about shrooms is they are hard to fake. There's a lot of fake LSD and fake MDMA though, unfortunately. Hope your condition improves. :)

    • @megawalaq10
      @megawalaq10 Рік тому +1

      Any variety of psilocybe cubensis (the most common species) will do the trick. They are sold in different forms however, with different psilocybin concentrations depending if you have mushrooms of truffles, fresh or dry. Use an online dose calculator, enter your weight, the form of your pilocybes, and set it to "low dose", to calculate your dose. It should approach the 10mg of psilocybin cited in the video, not enough to make you lose control, but enough to lift the burden of OCD for a few hours. Only take them in a safe environment, and keep in mind that you won't be able to do anything important for around 6 hours. Obsessions come back once the effects are gone, but they will be much more bearable for around 48 hours. Use that time do ERP, it helps a lot.

    TRAMADOL completely cured.my ocd . I wanted to cry I felt so amazing ( not euphoric like adderall or other drugs) it's sad that my.psych prescribes shitty SSRI's that take months to work and dont do much ( lexapro at 15 to 20 mg is the most effective SSRI)
    Also adderall , xanax , klonopin are easy to get , but a less addictive and.more effective medication isnt prescribed because it's usually a pain medication or used for Leg restlessness folks, or a dentist might give you a few weeks of it ( tylenol is better for pain then tramadol btw)
    OCD is ruining my life and has since I was like 7 . Im.just used to it and sometimes dont even realize im.wasting half the day consumed by rearranging things and counting shit.
    Maybe microdose of psilocybin will be in minnesota soon .
