There was another discussion recently about this study because it was also reported in Bloomberg. From my own personal experience, shrooms was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. It was like someone flipped a switch on my depression and the depression magically went away. The study really validates what I experienced, and the truly life-changing effect that it had.
- BossingAround 5y agoInteresting. Did the effects last? Are you still using it, or was it "one-and-done" kind of an experience?
- pigtailgirl 5y agowhen start to feel less motivated - don't want to go out - struggling at work- I take ~3 grams - usually lasts about 2 months or so - find this much better than microdosing personally
- starkd 5y agoHow do you measure out 3 grams? I would think it would be difficult to control that level of granularity.
- Karawebnetwork 5y agoThree grams of mushrooms is easily 4 to 10 individual mushrooms. Usually people simply weight the entire mushroom and not the exact psilocybin content. This is not ideal since potency will vary but it's enough to give you a good idea of the dose when comparing to previous sessions. However, there are more and more legal services who can provide already weighted product with the exact psilocybin content on the label.
- vsgzusnex 5y agoProbably just means 3g of actual mushroom fungi matter. Just need a food scale.
- abcc8 5y agoA kitchen scale works well for masses in this range.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoThere’s also 0.1 and 0.01 gram scales sold for like $15 on Amazon.
- imilk 5y agoFor anyone who's never tried mushrooms before, 3 grams is a pretty large dose. If it's your first time start with 1 gram or so. After all, you can always take more, but you can't take less.
- BossingAround 5y agoReally. Here I was thinking a starting dose was 8 grams (from a documentary about magic truffles in Netherlands). Good thing I never had the opportunity to try mushrooms, that'd probably be a pretty wild, unpleasant trip :))

- imilk 5y agoI know he is an expert on the subject, but he is talking about ridiculously high dosages that most people would not find pleasant in that clip. I would never tell anyone I care about to take 5 grams dried in their first use.
- Overtonwindow 5y agoThe first time lasted three months of relief. I had a bad day that sent me down the spiral, but a psilocybin chocolate bar brought me back. It’s not a panacea but it certainly ..gives me breathing room to let other therapies work.
- colpabar 5y agoI have a similar experience. I first did shrooms in high school and enjoyed it immensely. But in the few weeks after the trip, I felt great. I was way less nervous talking to people, I felt more confident, and just generally better about myself and life in general. But if you're interested, be aware: they taste gross and it's pretty common to feel really sick and throw up within the first 30 minutes. But after that, I promise you'll enjoy it, if you are in a good environment of course.
- greyface- 5y ago> they taste gross and it's pretty common to feel really sick and throw up within the first 30 minutes FYI, if you make a tea instead of ingesting them directly, both of these issues can be avoided.
- MarcelOlsz 5y agoUse a coffee grinder to crush it into a fine powder. Squeeze a lemon into a cup. Put the powder in and stir. Wait 20 minutes, add some orange juice or water and take it down. Activates instantly and you sidestep the nausea from your stomach where it feels like if you move a muscle you'll hurl.
- imilk 5y agoPut them in a peanut butter sandwich (with jelly/bananas/etc) and you taste them way less
