Nothing groundbreaking here, but it's good to confirm that studies continue to support the theory that mushrooms help with treatment-resistant mental health issues.
It was also good to read that double-blind studies have still not found any noticeable effects of microdosing, which was my experience as well. I believe the placebo effect is probably causing people to attribute benefits to it that it might not be responsible for.
The more we study psilocybin, marijuana, etc, the more we can progress past the decades of harm caused by prohibition.
Couldn’t agree more that we need a ton of research to make up for lost time!
For sure. It's a shame it's been hidden in the darkness for so long.
It changed my life in the early 2000's from crippling anxiety, which I no longer have. I learned to cultivate myself, and would give them away for free. I haven't taken any in many years, but have been thinking to getting back into it again.
