I have battled major depression for 60 years of my life. Talk therapy, countless medications, and even 27 rounds of shock therapy. While most of these “tools” were helpful, I have nothing more to reveal and am functioning on an anti depressant for years now…my poor brain still craters into the ink black pools of darkness. Then I read about micro dosing. What an absolute MIRACLE this has been! I’m posting this because I see so many posts about Imjurians’ struggles with depression and how I see my own agonizing war with this soul crushing disease. Please consider this option before you give up on life.

They’re relatively easy to grow. Let me know if you’d like to learn how. I can send you some spore prints and tell you what to buy.

Spores are legal almost everywhere. Buy a grow kit legally and do your crime in the privacy of your home. You won't get caught unless you do something stupid like go outside or distribute them.

I got this idea after taking a mycology class in college and boy o boy were the yields astronomical. I think after drying all 6 flushes from the 2 containers I think i had 3 gallon bags full of mushrooms.

I am afraid of trying mushrooms because I am under the impression it makes people do completely unhinged, if harmless acts like take off their clothes and streak through a public park in broad daylight. That would surely get one in a confrontation with the police, which can only further intensify my misery, as cops are not known to be kind to someone behaving abnormal, such as while using therapeutic drugs to alleviate their darkness. That is my only fear, ending up under the boot, dying early

Shrooms are not like acid, where a tiny piece of paper can be anywhere between a normal trip and a life altering experience. A standard dose of shrooms is ~2g, which if you powder it is around a tablespoon. A micro dose is about 0.25g, or about the size of one of those large fish oil pills.
My point is, it is really hard to go from attempting to microdose to full on trip. Like OP would have to eat that entire bag of gummies, and even then 2.5g is very managable, things get hairy around 7-8g.

I've seen that with acid not shroom. But I can't do shrooms anymore, gave me seizures when I mixed with pot

That's really not a typical experience. Start with a lower dose. Do it with trusted friends in a private & comfortable place.

This is MICRO dosage. The only effect is the black fog lifting. No other effect whatsoever.

So a couple things here. 1: no, that really doesn't happen, especially when microdosing. It's the kind of thing that anti-psychoactive folks put out as rumor to use fear as a deterrent. 2: As a treatment your dose should be taken under supervision. That could be a trusted friend or, depending where you are a doctor, psychologist, etc. If you're at all interested, try looking up local psychedelic groups, we've got a bunch in the US, to ask for advice and/or supervision

Thank you for the explanation. Don't know when, but I may look up ways of doing this safely and under supervision, guidance or whatever

Just out of curiosity, are these psilocybin gummies, or muscimol?
FosterMomForKittens
Psilocybin. The delivery service I use in LA county offers different species of mushrooms. They are reasonably priced and the quality has been consistent.

Genuinely asking what's the difference as far as legality and effect?
FosterMomForKittens
They are not legal in California but t appears enforcement is very lax. I just take one gummy each week.
BenderRodriguz1010
How powerful are they compared to regular shrooms? They sell these by me but I don't trust it lol
Shaddak
Muscimol is extracted from Aminita Muscara. Compared to psilocybin, the trip isn't as intense but, on the other hand it's legal.

Many thanks
