Psilocybin. (And I almost didn't.) edit: instant, lasting relief from anxiety / stress disorder, depression, addiction... For anxiety / stress, you have to keep taking it for awhile because your amygdala is enlarged. At least once per month. Once per week is great. After a couple of years, I was able to stop taking it so much. Before that, if I went longer than about 30 days my anxiety came back fast and hard. I haven't been taking it much lately because I'm getting back into software after a mini retirement (growing mushrooms full time), and I don't want to lay in bed tripping when I have tons of work to do. But now I'm going to try to balance software work with fungus work, and get back to taking it every Saturday. I want to make it a social thing here in Medellín.

Will you consider microdosing?

  I guess this is dead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41871207 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41871207 I have tried many regular dosing schedules including micro, as often as every day, and up to .3g of very strong mushrooms as my tolerance developed. But I actually started with "museum" doses and found that effective. I had no intention of seeing entities or anything because of "seeing the devil" as a kid and stuff like that. I won't tell the story of my accidental breakthrough dose on 3g of GT, which changed my mind about breaking through and chilling with the entities. But now I prefer high doses every Saturday. Once per week is pushing the limit: Please don't take psilocybin or any tryptamine more than once per week as it may thicken your heart valves.

    To clarify: I went at least one month at 3mg daily. Maybe longer. I had already decided to change before learning about the heart valve research. As I mentioned in the flagged post: I think that lower doses are uncomfortable for the most part. I played around with everything, for the novelty, including walking around downtown munching them out of the bag like a snack. Taxi! But now I prefer to go "all the way", in bed, with eyes covered.
