Hi everyone! I am just like you all ❤️ I do have bipolar issues but they aren't too drastic, I was off my meds for 5 years and did fine, but I'm back on them because as my doctor says, it's not IF the symptoms come back, but WHEN. I am also microdosing with ketamine in the evenings, I'm at 50mg nightly with that. Are we supposed to take the mushrooms in the AM? I see so many of you posting about taking with coffee? I took my 1/4 first gummy in the evening, 1/2 yesterday morning and will take 3/4 tomorrow. I haven't felt a thing yet but I think my days have been better? I am SO EXCITED!! I want to get off my anxiety, adhd and sleepy meds!

I'm thrilled to share the joy of our new studies and the expanding understanding of alternative therapies like psilocybin. As more people explore these paths, we uncover deeper insights into well-being and consciousness. Recently, during a one-on-one coaching call, a client opened up about their past addiction to marijuana. It's common to hear that certain substances are non-addictive, but the reality is more nuanced. While the substance itself might not be addictive, the state of consciousness it induces can be highly addictive. I've also encountered individuals puzzled by their higher tolerance and lack of expected effects from psychedelics. This brings us to the importance of protocols, taking regular breaks, and recognizing the unique factors influencing each person's experience with mushrooms. Especially with larger doses, understanding the "Tolerance Effect" is crucial. The Tolerance Effect Depending on the dose, a significant tolerance effect can set in shortly after psilocybin reaches the brain. This means that if a dose seems ineffective, taking more shortly after won't help and can lead to unexpected experiences. The tolerance effect isn't fully understood but likely involves tryptamine molecules binding to brain receptors and "shutting the door" on others, preventing further immediate effects. These doors remain shut until the molecules break down, which can take days. Veteran users often wait five days between doses, with some needing up to a week. This waiting period ensures that subsequent doses are effective and minimizes potential negative experiences. Mixing different tryptamines or using blocking medications during this period can also hinder the effectiveness of your next dose. Microdosing Considerations A common question is whether it's safe to microdose daily. This question has multiple layers: 1. Is it safe for my brain and body to microdose every day? 2. What are the long-term effects of daily microdosing? 3. What happens when I stop microdosing after daily use?

I am only a week into my microdosing journey. I so appreciate the education provided in this community. I have worked up to 3/4 of a gummy and even on day one with 1/4 gummy I was noticing some things. I suffer from ADHD, cPTSD, anxiety and depression but i never found (several attempts through the years) any prescribed medication tolerable due to the side effects. Even with my first dose I felt like my brain could breathe. Like it opened my mind and all the constant negative self talk quieted down. I was able to sit in general happiness for more than an instant. I notice less of the emotional knee jerk negative responses and I am excited to see how this will improve my mental health.

Good morning ☀️ I am just beginning my journey, beginning calibration this AM with coffee☕️ and some stillness. A little nervous, yet excited. Looking forward to sharing my experiences and gathering knowledge from all of yours🫶🙌💜
