A collaboration between 34 researchers at 18 institutions has looked into the efficacy and safety of psilocybin in patients with major depressive disorder.
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.
I’ve thought about trying to grow some, it doesn’t look hard, but just like all things that look easy there is likely a lot of underlying info I’d have to find or learn the hard way… and right now I’m trying to keep from being that guy who has a bunch of half-finished projects.
Yeah that’s the OTHER reason I haven’t done it. I make decent money and have a loving family, and I’m not really wanting to burn all that down to grow mushrooms.
It’s really extremely easy. You get these premade boxes that you unpack and set into a corner and leave there for a couple of weeks.
Some other boxes might need to water them first.
It’s really easy and a nice experience growing them.
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.

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.
Fun fact, it’s legal to purchase spores and grow kits in the US, since they don’t contain any psilocybin.

Microdosing would be dependent on the chemical.
