Mushrooms and micro dosing is fantastic and not bad.

im drinking a coffee with a micro dose in it rn, got an exam soon lol

[@ffsih8thene]

Microdosing is nice. Helped with my combat related PTSD. You don't get high but it certainly "takes the edge off" and helps come to grips with what is going on around me. I take 1 small chocolate square with my coffee and I'm cool as a cucumber and able to rock it at work.

[@franklin519]

Microdosing shrooms is beneficial. It doesn't give u a full trip. Makes u think clearer and better than beer or alcohol.

@@aiaesthetics1124 Yes. Very good. Would you like a gold star? My comment has context and relevance. Yours? ..the comment “168 hours in a week” was provided to highlight the ridiculousness of the statement made in the video that “I work hundreds of hours a week”… There are only 168 hours in a week, far less than the “hundreds” quoted as being worked in the video. We get the point, but the exaggeration is a bit much.

[@mybrutaltruth9359]

FDA will never approve any natural substance for treatment of anything because the lobbyists and big pharma cannot make money on them... I have severe depression and I have micro dosed once and it was helpful, would be nice to find actual treatment like this that insurance will pay for, because nobody can really afford to just keep paying full price for medical treatment nowadays...

[@jutru8782]

The issue, thus far, is that they are not standardized and regulated. Good or bad, FDA approved ‘drugs’ need to be standardized (and, yes, regulated). Without, there would be inconsistent dosing, and there’s where things go off the rails. But they can be most useful after rigorous research and testing. Pharma does play a role, but they’re held to a high standard. Just mho. Best day to ya.

[@feralhomunculus]

Tell that to Colorado and Oregon. States _already have_ and more will follow. It might not happen soon enough. It probably won't for years in my state, but we can hope. In the meantime, take care of yourself. Wish you well.

[@ffsih8thene]

It's not that hard to grow your own mushrooms. A 5gal bucket with some holes in the side, some sterilized wood chips or coconut coir, and a myc colony you can buy online and you have a Lions Mane farm.

I love how she lists all the other drugs she tried...booze, cocaine, valium.😶‍🌫

[@TalkinKush]

You dont have to be experience any one of those drugs to know that shrooms aren't like that. I dont think its a miracle and everyone should do it. But more research is needed on it.

Key word micro dose which is only a small amount.

[@franklin519]

Big difference and a full trip occasionally helps with depression and addiction.

[@Raine1990]

Depression isn't fixed with any amount of dosing. Fixing the root the problem, is the solution. Small amounts eventually become bigger.

Nobody can afford those prices, and this is why street medicating happens. Smh, one or a dozen children, we are all made different. Why are we women our own worst critics? Is this not how we got here? As a 47 yo ww w a 67 yo bmil for 15 yrs she shared a huge problem we all have....never learning how to be there for one another....always constantly competeting, jockeying, and trying to look better than each other. In her day, it wasn't allowed to be ACTUAL friends w each other. It was supposed to be business, and we ww never let them forget it. The gap continued to grow, and each became resentful of one another. Constantly judging quietly (or sometimes loudly) shaming each other and never thinking how the other side might feel. WE as WOMEN are all in the same boat even if we don't like it. We sink or swim together she said. Just like the women chained together on slave ships, we can either rise and shine, or we can sink and drown. The CHOICE is ours. These men will run us in the ground to get what they want if WE let them. There are good ones... hell even GREAT ones, but we gotta make peace amongst ourselves to get even one of them to listen and especially to help us. She say stop fighting for EQUALITY, and look for EQUITY. We are all smart, beautiful, and kind in our own ways. Let's feed off each other's strengths and build each other's weaknesses up so we can ALL (NOT all like the constitution) have a better world for these children. We've made such a mess fussing over things we have to do better. With a little COMPASSION for each other, WE can MOVE MOUNTAINS, even if only one rock at a time!!!❤

[@TheConqueror009]

Microdosing isn't where its at & I'm not paying $10k to trip out with big brother logging my deepest darkest secrets. That in itself would wig me out. What if the patient has an adverse reaction? Mushrooms are not for everybody. Then they're out all that money & scared for life. Awful implementation. Decriminalize both weed & mushrooms but tax weed sales. Offer affordable psilocybin treatment through insurance.
