What are your experiences with this form of “therapy” dealing with PTSD, anxiety and depression?
I have a group of military friends that are getting knocked off by our past experiences far too often and in far too many numbers.
A common theme I’ve found with them is a lack of purpose once the shine of military heroics wears off. Whether it’s that lack of dopamine hit of congratulations from the general public or adrenaline blast from combat.
I’m looking for ways to combat (excuse the pun) this loss in natural ways.

I just realized, is procuring this even legal?

Anyway, what are your thoughts here? Is this something you’ve had success with?

My brother was in Afghanistan and he seems to have a lot of luck with it. He'd rather be smoking weed but can't because of his job.

ETA it's legal in Oregon. But I'm not sure where you're posting from.

I enjoy it tremendously. Especially when I’m doing things outdoors. I can easily snap out of it if needed. It’s a fantastic reset.

Favorite dosing method is grinding them up and mixing in a small jar of honey. Then just finger banging the honey jar every so often.

I'm a big fan, but I don't have PTSD.

I have taken .1gram for a couple weeks at a time. Doesn’t really do much in my opinion.
And it’s certainly not legal.

I'll have to try the honey. We usually just grind them and put them in capsules.

You can buy any spore you want legally, mailed directly to your house. Join the Shoomery message board (a must). Read all about how to make your own cakes and transplant to a tub to grow.

That’s the easiest and most consistent dosage method. Can also soak in a little lemon juice if they make you nauseous.

If you do the honey just stir it up every time you go in. It settles to the top and you can do more than intended.

I dont microdose, but I see that it helps a lot of other people. Seems to excersize and stimulate parts of the brain.

Maybe not (in all areas), but its not hard to do.

If you can feel it, you aren't microdosing.

A mini Coffee grinder works very well. Then fill some veg capsules halfway and some full. This is the most consistent route. That honey sounds fun tho

It has been legalized, but I do not think the specifics of the medicinal program will be fleshed out until 2023.

Check out the company Mindmed. I bought stock in them and sold it a few days after just because its short term right now with the unknown, but there are a lot of other companies out there that are also having success treating people using mushrooms.

The sad thing (and why IMO it was a good short term stock and not good long term) is that it all depends on the FDA. And these smaller companies don't have the influence (money) that bigger pharmaceuticals have, who would rather people keep using their meds to treat depression, anxiety, etc.

Yeah, technically I'm not microdosing because I like to take just enough to get the body buzz, light visuals, and slight euphoria. 1 or 2 stems is usually perfect.

Yeah, generally you want no more than .3 -.5 or so per capsule. If you can sense a euphoria, draw it back to find the sweet spot.

If you are into blanket statements and seek advice on weed or psychedelics then statistically liberals would be your best bet.

Microdosing isn't as effective as "macrodosing" if your aim is to cure PTSD, Anxiety, or Depression. Higher doses in controlled, therapeutic environments have been clinically shown to work quite well. There are clinics popping up all over the place offering this. Ketamine is another, similar option. Do some research.
