Has anyone tried microdosing with shrooms/LSD?

[JoeFailure]

I've read that this has really changed some people's lives. I've read a lot suggesting this is much healthier than man-made medications. Obviously nothing is a cure-all or we'd all do it, but I'm basically willing to try anything that even marginally helps at this point.

Obviously going back really far into history, a lot of people who have taken LSD or shrooms talk about how it makes you feel connected to the universe/nature/possible 4th dimension and it can do a lot for depression and anxiety.

I'm not looking for the high, I've just read that microdosing can help alleviate that stuff and possibly activate more creative parts of the brain as well.

Just wondering if anyone's ever done any of this kind of stuff.

I'd like to try microdosing.
I learned a lot from hallucinogens during my student years, but haven't taken any in ages. The idea of microdosing has piqued my interest, though.

 

[kkatt]

I've experimented a lot with halluciogens. I find them very therapeutic but I have never tried microdosing.
From what I have read,there appears to be a lot of potential

 

[AnxiouslyDepressed]

Tried microdosing with LSD (tab + distilled water) and dosed every 3rd day for 2 months.

Was at a time in my life where things weren't as hopeless as they are now but did seem to uplift my mood and reduced my anxiety.

 

[SinisterKid]

No, but I am looking into it because it intrigues me.

Do you mind sharing why you stopped, then? (Thanks)

There are some people with depression who microdosed psilocybin from magic shrooms who reported feeling better (mood +energy).
But, still not a cure.
Once you stop microdosing, you go back to square one.
Some microdose psilocybin with ketamine and also feel better during their microdose period.

With lsd, nothing so conclusive.

Lastly, psilocybin with ketamine works by as some research pretend, promoting new neuronal pathways.


In the end you'll have to be careful if you go doing that illegally, I recommend cultivating the shrooms by yourself or buying spores or cultivation kit rather than buying from the streets since some mix it with others shits '.
as for ketamine, buy on the darknet with other drugs test kit to be also sure its not mixed with shit.

Stopped as I read it was recommended that breaks should be taken, never started again because of the lack of a reliable source that stated the correct dosage of their tabs.

As OP said it isn't a cure but there is definitely a difference with microdosing vs. not microdosing

 

[bigj75]

there are some cases of people on their death bed with cancer after taking psilocybin and not having the fear of death anymore. I believe some drugs are pretty beneficial to enlightenment and health if properly administered. Not all drugs are bad.

Thanks for elaborating. Hope you find peace.

Thing is, I'd only try microdosing using pharmaceutical grade LSD so I can get a better determination of dosage and effectiveness and purity.

I have micro dosed LSD and mushrooms on and off for about 4-5 years. Quite a lot of experience with both. Yes I think it can be beneficial day to day for people with mild to moderate depression/anxiety (going mainly off my own experience, and from what I've heard directly from other people). It is certainly not a magic wand, in fact I have had some micro doses where I think the effect was the opposite. notably, after a period with no self harm for a few months, I had an LSD micro dose, someone said something to me during the day, and it was as if the LSD heightened my reaction to it, and I cut myself. This happened a few times with LSD, not necessarily self harm, but the feeling of negative emotions being heightened. I think the key is to keep the dose 'micro': its easy to have a little bit too much and be very slightly tripping (still nowhere close to a trip, but more than a micro dose)

However, overall I would say it has been positive, I prefer mushrooms because they are less stimulating, though LSD is very similar, especially if you are not familiar with either. I would typically dose every other day, or once every 3 days, sometimes for up to 2 months at a time. I was never strict about a regime. For me it was like, if I was at a good stage in life, micro dosing made everything run smoother. It's like a nice psychedelic lubrication that just makes your brain work a bit better. I found it easier to talk to people, I was more confident, jokes would come out of my mouth in a split second in social situations (where as without I would be quiet and then think of the joke 10 seconds too late). physical dexterity improved, particularly on LSD (this isn't news to anyone familiar with LSD), generally happier and more present.

I've always wondered how easily people obtain shrooms. but ive tried lsd before. quite a profound experience but yes not a magical wand. never tried shrooms but wouldn't mind trying.

 

[LittleJem]

I am microdosing atm with (very professionally supplied) shrooms in capsules. My first full trip was epic, but since then shrooms scare me. Even at this dose, I spent this morning tripping and shrooms are my least favourite drug. I have two weeks supply and think I will stick with it for two weeks. My suicidal thoughts are reduced, though I am still low and wanting my life over. FB groups tell me to give it time...so I will try for the two weeks. I'm beginning to prefer being suicidal to being on psychedelics though. I might try them with K as per suggestion above
My supplier told me to alternate with Lion's Mane mushrooms

They grow in many parts of the world, at different times in different places, some people grow them.

@LittleJem If you can get CBD oil I find microdosing + CBD the perfect combo, CBD helps with any psychedelic related anxiety

 

[LittleJem]

They are reasonably easy to detect in the wild. They grow in autumn before the first frost. When I went hunting a few years ago, I only found 20 though! Not a year's supply.

I'm microdosing for 3 months now, it's doing wonders, when I took lsd for 2 months (I went with 5-15 ug every third day) I was more productive and life's been good, imagine people have it without drugs. When I'm on shrooms now, it seems there's more thoughts, I started psychotherapy, going to gym 3 times a week, it's actually more work than when I'm sober but I feel like I'm becoming a better person, and my self-esteem is rapidly growing. It's such a magical drug, shame it's illegal and more people do not have access to that. I'm going to kill myself in the future anyway lol, I'm enjoying life now, and if it wasn't for psychedelics, I don't know if I wouldn't be dead now. No suffering, no depression, just pure joy. And a lot of work.

Thanks - and please keep us posted on your experience good or bad. I'm in Europe but it would probably be better to be in Holland if I want to try microdosing.

I assume though that you are taking the drug without a doctor prescribed regiment, as I understand the medical community doesn't want to investigate the benefits of LSD microdosing.

 

[Backwood_tilt]

This is pretty interesting to me. You are able to think cogently about CTB while you are on it? Or is it because you have other days when you're not on it that you can see the inevitability of CTB for you?

The hallucinogenics don't make you less suicidal?

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

I once microdosed ayuhuasca mixed with weed. It was the most relaxed I've ever felt. Did not feel stoned.

Similarly, I really like smoking Mexican marigold, it's much lighter feeling than weed.

 

[terry_a_davis]

I took 1 hit of lsd, only my 2nd time taking it, and ended up having a terrifying psychotic episode that required therapy. Ok i know op is considering a micro dose not a full dose. Just be aware what can happen especially if you have a latent or current mental illness.

I'm guessing maybe the hit was too large? This is why preferably I'd prefer some kind of means that I would know the exact dosage.

[/QUOTE I
My friend had the same type of acid tab at the same time as me from the same dealer and tripped ok. My trip didn't go wrong until about 8 hours into it. For these reasons I suspect the dose was normal.

 

[faust]

I have another question. How would these two substances affect the potency of SN, N or F? Just curious.

I'm growing my own so there's no problem with shrooms ;) you get lifetime supply if you do it right

Actually I wouldn't say I'm suicidal anymore, now I have no point in life, but I'm not leaning towards killing myself, but changing things instead and trying new things. I know I will go by my hand and I have everything ready, it may all go to shit and I'm ready, I'm not scared to do that. Microdosing works not only when you're on, but you're sober enough to implement the thoughts and input into your everyday life. I could stop MD right now and I'd be fine, but I don't want to, because it's really much easier with them, it's like getting advantage over others in your life. From what I know microdosing makes your anxiety and depression easier to handle, I advise you to read reddit on that. I wish that psychotherapy using psychedelics was already a thing, everyone would benefit from that, some USA states already decriminalized psychs and it's a first step, shame that it took so long.

Yeah LSD is very potent drug, but set&setting is the most important thing in the world, I've had some bad trips but actually they were more important in changing myself than the good ones, both are needed in my opinion. If you microdose there's even smaller chance for a bad trip. It works the best if you already have a good diet, exercise, sleep well and meditate everyday. Taking care of yourself is really big.

 

[JennyCurran]

I used to stay in quite a hippie/druggie environment and thus know a lot of people who experimented with psychedelics and all other drugs. Had a friend who experimented whith microdosing with LSD. He went into psychosis after a while and jumped off a building. I know someone else who won't walk again, one permanently in hospital, and another dead from LSD, but not microdosing. mushroom and weed use, I know 2 more people who spent a 1-2 years locked up in psychiatric wards. I don't know anyone personally who has died or been injured related to any other drug use, which I find very disturbing. In none of the cases of severe injury and death was substance use tied to the issue by police so there may be a huge under reporting of issues created by psychedelics.

 

[Final Escape]

I just did this the other day. Ate like a gram I felt pretty great. The come down was not too bad this time. I gotta wait to do again. It's tempting to take it today bc I'm bored and there's a blizzard. Don't wanna go nowhere lol! Occasionally mushrooms can make u emotional so that's something to expect. Much less mild than side effects of bad trip from acid though especially if it's small amount.

with all due respect, i think our definition of a bad trip is different. I had a terrifying full on psychotic episode that lasted for several weeks, i required therapy to get over it. You could offer me $1,000,000 and i still wouldn't take lsd again. I hope you never experience what i did, it would put you off lsd for life, nothing was gained apart from horrible memories.
