The Shroom Thread

With BGHF I had to take something like 3 or 4 caps but with 420m I only needed one every 3rd day.

The cost is R800 for 30 caps

For me, and my wife personally, we prefer 420m
What's your microdosing schedule? Initially I would feel the 420m capsules but now hardly ever

Its normal to feel something the first and second, even the third time. Im not on it anymore but if you had a cap today you will only take another on Thursday.

You are not really suppose to "feel" something but actually notice a change in your day to day "mood" if I can put it that way.
 
If I microdose correctly, I tend to have a better chance of having a really good mood during the day.

I gotta share something. I'm still processing it, and working through the implications to see if I can make it happen again.

On Thursday, I did self hypnosis for the first time. Basically, its like meditation, except you try to relax as much as possible. You focus on progressive relaxation until you are utterly relaxed, and then you can deliver messages to your subconscious from your conscious mind. Supposedly this works, I'm still trying it out. I delivered some positive messages, and worked on forgiving my mother for what she put me through, which relates heavily to what I'm dealing with. I don't think I had forgiven her in my heart, and I think it was holding me back. She is dead so I can't speak with.

On Friday, I took leave. I had travel plans which I won't get into - not relevant to the story. I microdosed in the morning, and was just around the house. At around 10, I started feeling really down. Like, a really rapid onset depressive episode. I've been struggling a bit lately, so it wasn't unusual, except for its onset and its intensity. It was very bad. It was related to what I've been struggling with.

So I did the self hypnosis thing again. Partly because meditation can help in any case, but also because I thought perhaps I can try to change some of my negative thought patterns and let go a little more of the weight I've been carrying around.

Wow. Its like I was supercharged. I have never had a day like that, ever, in my entire life. My mood lifted from being so bad I couldn't finish cleaning my kitchen, to being the best mood I have had in probably more than a year. And it stayed there for the rest of the day. The next day, things mostly returned to normal, although, better than most of the previous week.

I'm still working on self hypnosis. I think it can really help. And, I wonder if it is really powerful in combination with the right dose of mushrooms. I believe too high a dose of mushrooms will make you so distracted that you won't be able to self hypnotise yourself. But the right dose will not only assist you in focusing but also help lower your subconscious defenses so that you can deliver messages to it.

I feel like the results are already semi permanent. I haven't microdosed today, nor have I self hypnotised, and I feel good. It feels like maybe my average happiness level has raised a bit.

I don't know if this is because self hypnosis can really change your subconscious, or whether the intense relaxation just nukes stress, especially combined with mushrooms. I don't know which of those is true. It matters a little which it is, but.... even if I can't directly change my subconscious that way, man, blasting stress like I did on Friday was an incredibly powerful experience. I think I took 0.45g that day - more than I would if I were working.

In most situations where one medicates with shrooms it's advisable to combine it with some kind of therapy. If self-hypnosis worked for you then keep at it. I wouldn't jump the gun and call the results permanent though. Even with heavy doses of psylocybin effects don't last forever. Several months is common though.

It's the shrooms that literally changed your brain, the self-hypnosis just helped guide the change a bit. :)
 
Went on a San Pedro ceremony last weekend. Barely felt a thing...bummer.
Will probably try a shroom ceremony next.

The amount of plant matter to be consumed is just too much imo. It's not an enjoyable experience chugging down multiple glasses of slimy cactus only to get a mild tingle in your toe. Would like to try peyote some time tho.

How much cactus did you consume?

It was 2 heaped tablespoons of the dried green part of the cactus.
They've done this ceremony many times before, so I'm sure the dosage would be correct. The other people who took the same dosage definitely felt it. I also followed a diet beforehand and pretty much took the cactus on an empty stomach, so yeah, I dunno.

I'd also try peyote, it's just so hard to come by.
 
I have 20g grinded Peruvian Torch that I bought on a whim. I've done shrooms before but never mescaline so had no idea of the correct dosage. It just looked like "more than enough" at the time.

After some research though I'd apparently need 50g or more for a decent 12hr ride. I still haven't touched the stuff. Can't decide whether I should go for it, or rather wait and try to get some more. Don't want to waste 20g and get little to no effects.

As for method of consumption, I guess I'll either make a tea or fill a bunch of gelcaps and just eat it.
 
Syrian rue can be used to boost the potency and duration of mushroom, san pedro or peyote trips, but it makes you very, very sick. I had nausea like more than 24 hours later. Its terrible.

If anyone intends to do this sort of thing please, please do your research first. Syrian rue is an MAO Inhibitor that is more commonly used with Ayhuasca. It seems to be able to potentiate most psychedelics since they work on serotonin receptors. If you're on SSRIs it's dangerous (potentially fatal) to mess with MAOIs because they it can cause Serotonin Syndrome. Also when people take MAOI medication for depression, they have to be careful about consuming foods with Tyramine in them because it can cause fatal spikes in blood pressure (apparently this hasn't really been observed with reversible MAOIs like Syrian Rue, but it's worth noting anyway).

Even if I weren't on SSRIs I reckon I would avoid trying to use MAOIs to potentiate mushrooms. If you want a stronger trip, just take a larger dose.

I did do my research, but yes, if anyone wants to do this, they should do some research first.

You get different kinds of MAOIs in any case. Syrian Rue is a reversible MAOI, and only acts on one of the enzymes. Which means it leaves tyramine processing relatively uninhibited, and is not as dangerous as people think.

Medical MAOIs taken for depression are far more dangerous, since they inhibit both enzymes and are not reversible. Meaning, you have to wait for your body to produce a new batch of monoamine oxydase, which can take time.

Oh and pregnant woman should avoid it - its an abortifacient. Reports say that a pure enough extract is safe enough for pregnant women, but I wouldn't risk it.

While it isn't as dangerous as people think, it does still make you very sick. I'm talking nearly 48 hours of nausea. Not worth it.

Oh for sure, I don't doubt you did your research in your situation. I'm just concerned there could be people reading that you used it to potentiate mushrooms and decide to do it themselves without doing their own research. While Syrian Rue is less dangerous than medical MAOIs there's still the potential for danger, especially when it comes to SSRIs.
 
Someone mentioned a shroom type of tequila shot. Where can I get it and what dosage is it?

I had an experience this past weekend with two of the small handful of people in the world I truly care about. It was one of the most incredible psychological/spiritual/interpersonal experiences I've ever had. Amazing stuff, honestly.
 
Thanks. Do you know if they are still operating normal as in no non communication etc?
