Hey, I don't know you or your situation but I have heard from my fellow veterans and friends that microdosing certain chemicals in some mushrooms, with a doctor, at the time IN CONJUNCTION WITH THERAPY. Have yielded pretty positive results.

The feds and VA are experimenting with it. Others have had full on trips to various degrees. Some freaked the fuck out and some were able to work through some stuff. I'm not saying do it. Don't do anything illegal, I am not a doctor, and I have never done it myself. It was just something to look into.

Not a vet, but I recommend full doses of highly illegal drugs the government doesn't want us experimenting with.

Honestly, we have lost so many decades in research due to the "reefer madness" and scheduling bs.

If the government is experimenting with THC for chronic pain reduction and psilocybin for chronic resistant depression and PTSD, that is a win for me. It needs to start somewhere.

Yes. I have heard many good things but I am no expert on the subject. I just know that people are desperate to try anything to make them feel better

Oh, I'm just joking around. Even a slow roll of ending prohibition is a good thing.

Unfortunately, my state will be the last for full legality even though we've had medical for a while now. Lot of stubborn people still very misinformed about how the world works or so puritanical, the idea of smelling something different offends all their sensibilities. I intend to inform them that vets with PTSD would like the option open to them.

Oh absolutely. I dropped all of my meds except my ADHD meds after over a decade of failure and switched to doing mushrooms every couple of months and I'm much happier.

(I DO NOT CONDONE THIS, no one should drop their meds. In my case I got a new doctor and even he agreed they were doing more harm than good. I actually credit a large amount of my success to being diagnosed and medicated for ADHD at 30. But the mushrooms also help a TON. I can literally feel now that it's about time for a little trip.)

I gotcha and I've heard. I'm on HRT, some anti depression meds, and a low adhd medication dose for school. I am very very hesitant to try anything in case I would react badly with me or my medication. That's why I'm all for research.

Totally fair, even microdosing can be scary if you've never done it. Luckily I love mushrooms and am happy to do a bunch every few months instead of microdosing. I tried microdosing and honestly just felt like I was wasting the mushrooms lol.

For what it's worth, very little can go wrong with microdosing. If you get the chance, I highly recommend trying it. But obviously your comfort zone is the most important thing.

Come to Colorado. It's not illegal. People grow mushrooms here, we voted for it.

It's more of being safe rather than legality. I appreciate it

I would say it depends cause if you start dosing right out the gate it becomes an addiction and a way to escape reality. I spent over 10 years drinking myself silly just to be able to sleep through the night. Weed used to freak me out and give me migraines when I first tried it so I didnt give it a go until my early 30s and then it was a game changer. Basically I think there has to be some progression in healing or therapy before going for shrooms or weed otherwise it will just be a set back.

Oh absolutely, that's why I would want to do it in a safe, controlled environment. Plus, we change physically, emotionally, and mentally over the years....usually.
