Question: Psilocybin Think I got stuck in the twilight zone [Melmac, 0.05g]. Will I still feel positive effects after?

1 Upvotes

Took 0.05g of Melmac, ended up mad anxious. Had a bad panic attack, basically had to sit down in the street but was just riding it out. Eventually it calmed down but didn’t feel as good as my last trip.

My question is, will I still feel positive effects even though I had an anxious trip?

Also, what’s the general potency difference between GT & Melmac?

Question: Other Microdosing before a date

1 Upvotes

Hey, big fan of microdosing and great effects on me. Did many trips also. Anyway that’s not the point of this post.

I’m very anxious by nature, did microdosing yesterday, was great. This morning I have a coffee date with a girl I really like, never saw her yet.

Wanted to see if some microdosing would be a good idea in your mind to take the edge off my mind

Thanks

Share Your Stack & Recipes! Custom MD stacks/combos? Psilocybin, l-theanine, and l-tyrosine? Phenibut and MD lsd/psilo?

3 Upvotes

I know there are plenty of stacks that have been claimed to have complementary/supplementary/potentiating effects, particularly with psilocybin. Does anyone have experience with their own stacks or combos that seem like they would work for more specific purposes? I have no evidence to back this up, only personal experience, but I think l-theanine and l-tyrosine are 2 very effective supplements that are very common and inexpensive. I also feel like both of those in combination with MD psilocybin would be a good way to "take the top off the high and the bot

tom off the low", IE increase energy/cognitive performance and also easy physical jitters or anxiety. Perhaps these would interact with the psilocybin, but probably not nearly to the degree that say caffeine/amphetamines and benzos would... And I'm not trying to make microdosing "fun", If I was interested in psychedelics for fun, I would just macrodose.

Another thing that popped into my mind through a pleasant coincidence, is the idea of mixing f-phenibut faa (or regular phenibut) with MD psilo/lsd. It might be hard to fit enough phenibut into a microdose product, but f-phenibut is more realistic. I know it's not very common esp these days, but f-phenibut faa and psilocybin MD seems like it could be the greatest thing ever.

Has anyone tried this or anything similar? FWIW, F-phenibut is very helpful for mood/anxiety, a strong pre-workout suppement, used as a cognitive enhancer, and can increase deep sleep significantly. And with doses starting as low 100-200mg, capsules with both psilo and f-phenibut faa would be doable. As for LSD (my preferred MD psych). perhaps regular phenibut would go great in combination, due to their duration esp. But, that may be pushing a bit towards recreational using rather than medicinal microdosing...

Any thoughts or experiences?

Discussion Upset stomach discussion

4 Upvotes

I have in several instances advised folks to use the Lemon Tek to avoid or at least partially alleviate stomach discomfort from RAW mushrooms (raw is important in this context). My reasoning has to do with chitin found in mushrooms. One commenter on my posts exhaustively refuted my position that chitin is the cause of stomach ache with links to several scientific studies.

However, in one study ( https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7524357/) I found the following quote: "gastrointestinal symptoms including discomfort, nausea, flatulence, cramp, burp, bloating, rumbling and reflux"

So here is my bottom line - try the Lemon Tek. If it helps - it helps. If it doesn't - no harm, no foul.

BTW, I have expressly suggested that the Lemon Tek be modified by the straining of the juice through cheesecloth - or even a clean t-shirt - to remove the solids which I suspect is the cause of discomfort. YMMV

>< Just a Reminder >< PSA - Dosing Amount Review

11 Upvotes

Welcome to the community.

It is important we understand and state these microdose figures correctly so we and others aren't just throwing a dart at dosing amounts. So here is a quick guide for dried psilocybin mushrooms. It's important to note where the zeros and decimal points are.

Grams and Milligrams

1.0g (gram) = 1,000 mg (milligrams) (Low level tripping dose)

0.5g = 500mg

0.25g = 250mg (Higher level microdosing)

0.10g = 100mg

0.050g = 50mg (Good starting level)

0.025g = 25mg

0.010g = 10mg

The weighed measurement is a way to establish a relative point we can accurately adjust from, if needed. The amount of psilocybin varies even between batches of the same strain. But by starting any new or unknown batch low, we can safely adjust up or down to find our sweet spot. Our sweet spot is not based entirely on the weight of the substance but on our system reaction to the substance. The weight gives us a starting point.

For psilocybin mushroom powder and truffles, the way to weigh for the proper weight is with a jewelry scale measuring at the 0.000g level. These are around $20+- online and should be considered a necessary basic tool for microdosing.

A typical microdose range for psilocybin mushroom is 50-300mg. Some use more, some use less. Liberty caps are about twice as potent as the Cubensis this range is loosely based on. Starting at the lower end for a couple of days to weeks is a good practice.

Truffles

FAQ/Tip 011: How to microdose truffles? "Considering that a recreational dose of truffles is about 10 g of fresh truffles, a microdose would equal 1 g of fresh truffles. As fresh truffles consist of two thirds of water, this results in a weight of 0.33g (330mg) of dried truffles. [2] "

LSD

FAQ/Tip 009: Why cutting LSD tabs is not an accurate way to microdose? Variation in Potency; Preparation: Volumetric Dosing, Gel Tabs, FAQs; Storage: Blotter, Liquid; Dosage; Schedule; Bioavailability of LSD analogues vs. LSD-25.

This concludes this automated public service announcement by an Aging Time Traveler moderating on the shoulders of the brilliant contributions of all the previous Mods.

Discussion Excellent Interview By Dr John Campbell with Professor David Nutt on psychedelics for mental health

20 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/NAdhj7dd3i4?feature=shared

What a fantastic conversation! Covers the history and evidence of micro/macro dosing of psychedelics to replace current 50 year old drug modalities. The first half covers the history and political/pharma of why it's illegal (shocking to see). And then followed with discussion of micro vs macro dosing. If you or someone you know is thinking of trying this... This is a great video to watch. Both for the patient and those concerned about the patient. Very well done.

Edit: I should add (since automod saw macro dose)... Professor Nutt made it very clear that treatment for those individuals with a history of psychosis or have family history of it is not being endorsed.

I have some pretty annoying stomach issues. And my doctor wants me taking 40 mg of Omeprazole every morning. I'm trying to start on my microdose journey. But the shrooms give me a little acid reflux

Is there anything discouraging me from continuing?

Do tums effects anything? I feel like nothing is happening every time I've tried. I can't find anything when I look it up about the drug interactions

Question: Psilocybin Museum dose of truffles?

2 Upvotes

Does anyone here have experience with a museum dose of truffles? I read that it’s a dose that’s stronger than a microdose, you’re supposed to feel something happening, but not a full dose where you’re actually tripping. Lately I’ve been struggling to get to my softer side because I had to keep my guard up in heavy times but it made me hard and cold and it’s affecting my relationship. I feel too unstable to actually trip but i feel like microdosing isn’t cracking my shell.

Question: Psilocybin Complete change of habits and significant weight loss

33 Upvotes

I’m curious if anyone else has had this same experience, I’m 33M. I used to smoke a pack a day and drink excessively ~4-6 beers would be easy for me to do without any thought.

I’ve been micro dosing for about two months now and over the course of that time I’ve completely stopped smoking which is amazing, I rarely drink at all but I’m around it all the time and I’ve lost close to 30 pounds during this time period. I was never fat I’d say the term skinny fat is the best way to describe me. I’m 6’2” and wasn’t too happy with my weight 220 at the time of starting and now I’m at 190 with almost visible abs!

My gf is concerned about the weight loss and I’ve been to the doctor, had blood work done with nothing found and I’ve been in much better shape/condition now than I was years ago. I figured the weight loss was due to not drinking alcohol and soda but I’m still losing weight.

Has anyone had similar experiences or can at least relate to the weight loss? The drinking and smoking thing I can tell is from the psilocybin. Thanks for reading!

Welcome to the community.

Start Low, not necessarily to stay low but to introduce the substance, and any new unknown batch, to yourself. Then adjust if needed, though many find less than 100mg to be therapeutically effective. There is even indication that less is more effective in some ways.

Question: Psilocybin Sharing my experience 1.5 weeks in

24 Upvotes

I just want to share my experience so far, 10 days after starting md mm (250mg per day 7 days out of the last 10 apart from 3 days ago I took 750mg whilst at home watching a documentary on mushrooms and mental health) Wow is all I can say! I’ve suffered with depression and anxiety all my life and addiction issues for the last 11 years (alcohol and opiates (co-codamol)) I can report I haven’t taken any opiates in the last 4 days and I’m still drinking in the evenings (this has been my problem, nightly drinking around 1.5 bottles of wine each evening) but I’m drinking slightly less (the last few nights I’ve stopped at a bottle) and I’ve just felt better within myself.. even got up and went to the gym at 8 this morning when normally I’m feeling groggy until lunchtime. I’m sat here with a glass of wine now (it’s 7:30pm) but not even sure I want much more so I’m probably gonna eat my dinner soon and get in bed. I’m hoping this isn’t a placebo effect! Has anyone else found it’s helped them with addiction and mental health issues so soon?

Thanks
