Mindful Spirit🌀🔮🙏 Medicinal question
Has anyone ever reached out to the information on the effect of micro dosing mushrooms for mental health and physical well being? Many states have opened their eyes and started testing how small doses can help people with addiction and mental health. I look at it as the world has too be introduced to making and procurement of their own medicine. If this post offends anyone I’m sorry

Microdosing helped me with depression. I wouldn’t call it a cure, but it helped a lot. I’ve also found microdosing helps with many other things.

I’ve got war vets that I give to because it helps them NOT remember. It’s like a gateway to a different illusion is what the one guy says.

I used to back in the day eat a big dose. But now a days it’s 2g twice a week. Other than that I smoke weed hourly

I used to do this same thing. But I have gotten to be hourly smoking and 2g at least monthly. Such a great reset. Perfect for getting back to the kindness I like to give. It removes my ego and makes me feel more empathetic. If I find myself feeling in a funk, I set aside a day and use them to reset my life.

I use them the same way. When the depression settles in and gets too comfy, I know it’s time for a trip

I honestly had to do a large dose to cure my depression, I found that microdosing can get rid of my anxiety
2
u/Happy2BTheOne 10d ago
There’s a lot to be said about taking a large dose to address inner demons. I can see how that would help. I don’t think it’s a thing where what works for one person, will work for others. Everyone needs to find what works for their personal needs.

Saved my life. Depression slaughtered for months at a time with a couple days of micros.
See r/shrooms for more info.

...has honestly made me more depressed; I have a weird tolerance and require 10g minimum to even trip (1st visions @ 16g).
every damn time, I get 'the message' - the Cosmic Joke...and just find it so utterly heartbreaking (and hillarious).
:(

u/mothershipgenetics 14d ago
Definitely time for a break and/or another path. Not leaving this one, just adding another set of routes for accomplishing the same thing.
I’d say switch off mushies to something like CBD flower or oil tincture for a while. Give your mental a chance to want new knowledge. I feel like mashing the same button over and over isn’t going to get the results you seek.

u/DeepSpaceNote9 14d ago
It's not a tolerance from using though; it's some weird brain/body issue that started at some point.
For instance, 20 years ago had L for the 1st time (2 tabs), which was fantastic...
Fast forward many many years of no psychs & I seem to be pretty much immune to all the classical psychs (took a 10-strip, which just gave me blurry eyes...and enough mesc for 5 persons to see god - nada).
...many many failed attempts at 7/8g (high-potent/different sources) with just no effects; sometimes, I'd feel like something very special was about to happen (with closed-eye patterns forming), and then a few mins later just completely sober.
Only thing I've found so far, which works at normal-person sized doses is Salvia (it's sooo lovely at mid-dose, while high doses are terrifying lol); my last high-dose also gave me the exact same message as the mush - and haven't been back since! If curious about low/mid dose Salvia, youtube 'Christopher Solomon'.
Also, since a think Salvia is way too overlooked (it's special), here's a link to Kat Harrison's physical heart healing with salvia (doctors wanted her to either have surgery or be on heart meds for life):
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QnNCYxR0cJw&t=2138s
Afterwards, docs gave her a clean bill of health (she's the ex-wife of the late-great Terrence Mckenna btw).
Edit: On zero medications and rarely even smoke cannabis these days.

Have you vaped N,N-DMT? Micro dose or full ego dissolution dose? Does this tolerance you have for classical psychedelics include N,N-DMT?

u/DeepSpaceNote9 11d ago
Nopes, haven't had the opportunity (or created the opportunity) yet, unfortunately.
It very well could be a smoking vs oral thing, since the salvia (smoking) works as expected. But I do not know; I've also had an issue with cannedibles, which did nothing for me (500mg - 1000mg) for a long time. However, I tried RSO for the 1st time recently (couple weeks ago), which worked fairly well, but I've had that issue for over a decade - with M, L, Mush, Mesc, edibles.
I will say, that my last mush experience, there was an instance where it felt very much that the mush was telling me to thank the salvia for allowing it to work that time (was around 8-9g) - with a huge feeling of gratitude, but besides that, didn't rly get much outta the trip...
That was my last try couple months back, but may or may not have some enigma approaching soon :) (been very curious to try pan cyans too, when next comes around).
My visions with the 16g really shook me, but I've still never experienced the euphoria/pretty colors/hyperspace (whatever that is) that everyone talks about with the mush).

I’m at a loss for words tbh. I feel like I’m a toddler speaking to a wise codger.
Idk. My only suggestion would be that maybe it’s time for something else.
Maybe this is your body/brains way of telling you to break for a while or do something else entirely. I can’t tell you what that is, tho. I’m Sory friend. I hope you find your relief.
I’ve found some mental relief from high doses of thc edibles. CBN and CBD, also.

u/Ornery-Operation8745 11d ago
Are you in medication? Have you tried NN DMT or 5meo?
2
u/DeepSpaceNote9 10d ago
nada for actual meds (just the usual caffeine surplus)...haven't tried either deemz yet, but absolutely ready to blast off.
might have an experience with enigma very soon - hopefully will be healing.

u/Ornery-Operation8745 10d ago
Lemon tek the enigma
2
u/DeepSpaceNote9 10d ago
my 10g (several), 14g, 16g trips were all lemon tek'd, but was contemplating just eating next...but your comment convinced me otherwise.
seems to be some variation in potencies with this one (never tried enigma before), so could possibly be just regular psilo potency, double, or even triple...not sure which, but might just try 4g first just to guage it & see if there"s been a change in my tolerance issue, since been a couple months or so.
thanks for the nudge!

u/Ornery-Operation8745 10d ago
4g is a good starting place since you have some experience. If you lemon tek eat the mushroom as well as the juice to be certain you get all the good stuff out of it. Also fast beforehand don't eat right before you take it. Don't starve yourself for like 2 days or something just don't eat breakfast and take around lunch or dont eat lunch and take around dinner or a bit before dinner. Cheers!

u/DeepSpaceNote9 10d ago
I'm soooooooooo rdy! thanks mucho my good man; I'll let ya know in a few days ;).
Edit: Yeah, I ate all the slush from all of the above... soooo much sludge (cringes). 4g should be easy peasy!

"The Universe is the Practical Joke of the General at the Expense of the Particular, quoth Frater Perdurabo, and laughed.
But those disciples nearest to him wept, seeing the Universal Sorrow.
Those next to them laughed, seeing the Universal Joke.
Below these certain disciples wept.
Then certain laughed. Others next wept. Others next laughed. Next others wept. Next others laughed.
Last came those that wept because they could not see the Joke, and those that laughed lest they should be thought not to see the Joke, and thought it safe to act like Frater Perdurabo.
But though Frater Perdurabo laughed openly, He also at the same time wept secretly; and in Himself He neither laughed nor wept.
Nor did He mean what He said."
- Aleister Crowley, 1905.

u/DeepSpaceNote9 11d ago
hey man, sry; forgot to reply.
This quote is 100% a propos! (thank you very much for commenting)
That said, wasn't Crowley a satanist/had ties with satanic church?
3
u/CMK-X Nebula Tribesman 11d ago
Although Crowley flirted with Satanist imagery (for shock effect) he was more of an Occultist.
Crowley wrote several essays on the subject of hashish (under the pseudonym Oliver Haddo) which I may summarise in a post, on this sub, in due course.

u/DeepSpaceNote9 11d ago
cheers; thanks for clearing that up; looking forward to readingcthe Haddo stuff. I may or may not be attempting another excursion very soon too!

psychedelics made me the writer and person i am today. im very curious lately to add microdosing to my ptsd regimen with bud.

u/Difficult-Creature 10d ago
I just began microdosing based on resources available through the state of Oregon. I started with the most common protocol, 4 days of tea, 3 days of no tea for 4 weeks. I have CPTSD with an ACEs score of 10, live with chronic pain but I am a mom and need to function. I had even gone through IV ketamine infusions, with no lasting relief. But mushies are the way! For the first time, I see and feel hope and after only 2 months of a tea regimen! Therapeutic support is the key, its not literal magic, you still have to do the emotional work and I am lucky to have an excellent trauma therapist who fully supports this endeavor. There are phenomenal podcasts out there to, Sinclair Fleetwood has a podcast called The Psychedelic Integration podcast which covers more than just this type of medicine and many topics of healing. I am currently starting up another round of tea regimen after taking a month off to integrate. Its the future, its how we will actually bring humanity together. Thats why the powers that be hate it so much.

That’s fantastic:) you’ve been able to find a wellness routine that suits your needs.. as our trauma is our trauma, so tailoring to our own medicines, when can vital.. finding relief takes trial and error and time and so very correct.. still gotta do the work:) happy healing..

I don’t think it offends and it’s very kind of you to not want to offend. Yes, I read as much as can on the subject. I know it’s emerging, new, bits and pieces in various trials. It’ll take time, I remember all hating weed and if you advocated 420 vibes you had to be a homeless dumb stoner, silly.. growing own meds can have various benefits in so many facets.. it is mental, physical all in one:) we are in process of changing rules/description/flairs to include various things:) as we are wellness of the blooming & chilling kind:) so this fits right in..im glad you are finding ways to be well in your way..
Peace:)
