25mg is pretty small, even for a micro dose.
Makes sense as long as it works, a lot of people are not prepared to trip balls anyway, even as part of a treatment. Ketamine (for the same purpose, which is increasingly a thing) has the same issue.
Never done drugs but depression is fucking horrible and debilitating. If the price to pay for putting depression on hiatus for a year or two is tripping balls, sign me the fuck up right now. I swear the first second I am retired (and thus can’t get fired for drugs) I am investigating one of these types of treatments. But my understanding is micro dosing is generally the treatment? Idk.
Fun fact, a lot of employers don’t test for mushrooms. If it’s a 5 panel test, they don’t test for it at all.
I agree and have literally done that exact thing for that exact purpose… but not everyone does.
My point was just that having a drug that doesn’t require tripping balls in a tightly controlled setting is a good idea. Not everyone is up for it (personality, circumstances) and any trip has risks, you need monitoring which takes trained manpower etc. - it’s worth it while we have no other treatment, but it isn’t very practical for a bunch of reasons.
Microdosing would be dependent on the chemical.
25mg of psilocybin, not 25mg dried mushrooms. This isn’t an insignificant dose, roughly equivalent to 2.5g of dried mushrooms.
Thanks, was hoping to find this in the comments. That’s actually much lower than I expected, always thought you had to go on a 5g journey. I personally don’t even get visual hallucinations on 2.5g
Oh damn. That’s getting to the point of tripping right? I’ve been microdosing 500mg of dried mushrooms for a little bit now and have felt some mood stabilization from it but this has me wondering if I should go for a heavy dose and see how it goes.
25mg of mushroom would be.
But 25mg of pure psilocybin is more than a microdose.
