Fascinating stuff for the treatment of anxiety, depression, alcoholism, PTSD and related mental health issues, with the UK's own Dr Robin Carhart-Harris leading the research (see his documentary on Amazon, plus youtube interviews such as Joe Rogan).
Anyone interested in this sort of stuff or even tried it? The active ingredient in magic mushrooms, it unfortunately got lumped in with everything else in the 'war on drugs', so research has been a lot slower than it could have been. But it's looking very encouraging, and could be prescribed as a medicine in the medium-long future.
Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I've always been a bit scared of trying them tbh - what are they like and do you hold with this microdosing thing (if you don't mind me asking)?
It's a lot milder then LSD for example, unless you take a enormous amount. I've never tried the micro dossing thing but if yer nervous about taking um then that would definitely be the way to go. May be so mild though, you barely notice it. Perhaps just up the dose little by little til you get to a level that suits. Would also depend on the type of mushrooms and where you source them.

Thats interesting, thanks (had no idea about any of that - I'm a one-illegal drug kind of guy). I may look out for an opportunity, but yes, very nervous!
Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

Might be waiting a long time (!) but I'll take that advice gratefully.

Don’t drop on your own.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

I am only speaking recrestionally rather than in terms of microdosing, but you could also plan a trip to Amsterdam and visit one of the smart shops. They are pretty responsible and will ask questions to gauge your experience before making a reccomendation. They refused to sell to some friends of mine strong ones because they were honest that they had never dabbled before. They made a strong appeal to the rest of us not to share stronger ones with them. Truffles rather than mushrooms but to all intents and purposes, the same thing.
If you try a light, entry level one with someone you trust, you will feel giggly and receptive, possibly noticing that colours seem more vivid and somewhat fluid. It's possible that you may also feel that some things slightly change in size and that sensory experiences feel somewhat stronger.
It's generally quite mild, but if for whatever reason you feel uncomfortable or worried, drinking a sugary drink can help to nullify the effects. Nothing to worry about as long as you are with someone you trust :)

I looove mushrooms
I tried them a couple of times as a young un. First time I remember lying in bed when i got home tripping my nuts off praying and promising I'd never do drugs again if God would make me normal once more. Eventually I got to sleep and remember waking up after the effects had worn off being so thankful I was no longer a loony!

Is micro dossing like power napping ?
I guess if 'shrooms can cure you of pedantry and hyper sensitivity to typos I should try them.

Yer, a bit. I don't really agree with micro dossing as I believe dossing should be done on a grand scale. I personally doss at a champions league level

Ah, so now we find out Adam Buxton's TWTD user name:
Similar results to MDMA when microdosed, I can see the benefits of it but taking small doses of either of these goes completely against my normal self/ reputation!!! I would be interested to try it one day, there's plenty of sites that would happily deliver from Holland to Suffolk when I lived there
