Might want to mention that all of these studies were on healthy people. Except for one study where 7% had a current mental illness diagnosis. Most of the interest in micro dosing is for treating things like depression and anxiety. So reaching the conclusion that its a "scam" seems very premature. It's like saying antidepressants are a "scam" because they don't make happy people feel even happier.
This is a very important distinction and I hope more attention is paid to it.
I’m actually pretty upset without enough research something like this was presented as a scam when there could be potential to keep studying it and help people.
@@Saavycupcake Fortunately actual researchers know this and microdosing remains an area of active research. This channel just loves its clickbait.
I’m so glad for this comment, I love asapscience but for them to call out the psychedelic industry for how much money is going into it but use such a drastic and clickbaity title is icky
People being so zealous over hallucinogenic drugs is very concerning.
As long as we’re expanding research on psychedelics I’m happy

They should probably try starting with an amount that would have an impact, instead of 1/75,000th what he said was a recreational dose, and 1/7,500th what he said microdosing was.
I’ve been on antidepressants for 10 years. I’ve tried microdosing. It was much more effective to just take 3.5-4.5 grams on a Saturday. It reduced my anxiety in a material way. You realize the absurdity of the things that fill our minds and stress us all out. Idk - I’m not a dr, but i feel better.
Placebo
@@nelsonw9483 The placebo effect is consciousness. Have you ever taken 4.5g of mushrooms?
lmao, bro they said it may be placebo for 20ish mg. 4500 mg is transporting you to the quantum realm
I understood perfectly what you were trying to say. Taking a regular dose every once in a while is much more efective than microdosing 3-5 times a week. The former is actually scientifically proven, and way better than placebo.
@@nelsonw9483 Says the man who's never tried mushrooms once.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporees I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

My recovery journey was supported by the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT, LSD are exceptional as well when it comes to mental health treatment.
Psychedelic mushrooms are truly remarkable. A few years ago, I was struggling with severe depression, mental health issues, and was diagnosed with BPD. My friend suggested I try psilocybin mushrooms, I still can’t believe how much better they worked compared to traditional medicine. It was a lifesaver, it honestly healed me.
Can you help me out with a source? I suffer from severe anxiety and depression and have been on prescription meds, but they haven’t really helped. Where can I find psilocybin mushrooms?
Doctorjeremyy is the person you want. He's the most knowledgeable about psychedelics that I know.
On Telgram or instgram ??
Correct, Doctorjeremyy is accessible on both.
I struggle with Manic-Depression and taking a full dose of LSD or Shrooms once every few months to half-a-year has had profound effects. Never tried microdosing, but can definitely attest full doses work wonderfully. I used to he hospitalized constantly for depression, but now its rare.
@drewspores get lost
You can use a microdose to refresh the neural pathways that were activated during the trip. I’d avoid microdosing frequently or you could develop manic episodes. I have similar issues but not to that extent.
I usually microdose several days after the trip when you get that natural slump.
Really happy you found such great healing from these substances. Cheers!
I know microdosing works (at least when combined with meditation) in exactly the same way you know macrodosing works. We're immune to these clickbait scare stories.

I was diagnosed with severe depression and mental health issues, not until a friend recommended golden teachers mushroom for spiritual and mental gratification. I’ve been well ever since for about 4 years now.
I've been looking to try shrooms. Can someone direct me to a source?
doctor.cyruss is your guy, got all kinds of psychedelics.
DMT, LSD, and psilocybin mushrooms are truly remarkable. A few years back, I was grappling with severe depression and mental health issues, and was diagnosed with BPD. It wasn't until a friend suggested psilocybin mushrooms that things began to change for me. It was a lifesaver, and I've been completely clean for 6 years.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire article about psychedelics. They saved you from death bud, lets be honest.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? 🙏

Yep
Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to get them, anyone?
doc.jeanne is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Is on Instgram?
Yesss
Explaining the feeling of shrooms is literally impossible, until you try them yourself.
Psychedelics have the potential to make a significant impact on mental health issues like anxiety and depression. They've been incredibly helpful for me personally.
I've been wanting to give it a go, but I'm struggling to find a reliable source.
dr.scottshroom is your guy. The best shrooms and psychedelics guy I know.
How do I reach out to him? He on instgram??
Yes
I tried golden teachers for the first time, and it was an amazing experience.
I beat addiction with mushrooms.
Psilocybin mushrooms show promise in supporting mental health.

Micro dosing helped me get through the grief of loosing my baby. I had trouble letting go and started to spiral down into depression.
I couldn’t even begin to imagine that kind of pain, I’m sorry for your loss. Glad to hear you’re doing better :]
As a parent, I admire you, with a bit salt in my eyes. Stay good, god bless you
Or maybe it was you alone who got true it without any help as microdosing clearly shows to not do anything 🤷♂ Maybe you're stronger than you think 😉
I am so sorry for your loss, and I totally understand everything you have said, I too lost my daughter 24 years old absolutely beautiful girl, I use mushrooms every 2 weeks to help me, they have saved my life! Without them I couldn’t go on much love to you ❤️
@@FullFledged2010it’s hard to explain unless you experience it yourself, but I did manage to speak to someone whom I have never heard before, a soft male voice who guided me into letting go. Honestly I can’t explain it and everyone has a different reaction to microdosing or taking a heroic dose. I can say it was more of a mini heroic dose. Maybe all this was already in my head and the mushrooms just let me visualize it better I don’t know but i do feel better.
I think it's actually pretty cool how powerful the brain is to have the placebo effect to work 🤔
Yeah the placebo effect is pretty strong. If I'm getting a sugar pill but my brain believes it is whatever drug then that might work enough!
The power of delusion is pretty powerful yes.
@@theymi so is the power of awareness and connection and love
@@theymimore so power of belief
@@theymi very true. we can't even see the full wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum which means we're certainly deluded every day of what else exists in the world behind the visible spectrum. people really have to be hopeless to think that psychedelics do anything more than entertain your mind for a brief period of time.
with that said, i find it incredibly interesting that we are able to discover consistencies within our "delusion" like in sciences, because if we can at least be detect things outside of our natural perception with technology instruments, then it proves at least some level of capability to control our world, and who knows how far it can go? it certainly hasn't stopped yet.
I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
I have autism, I was diagnosed with it when I was 15. I tried shrooms and it made me function so much better.
Eek I’m autistic too and might wanna try mushrooms. How do I go about it?
Yeah doc.brenttt is your guide. Man is exceptional with anything psychedelics.

I don't know about microdosing, but psilocybin mushrooms absolutely do help if you take a couple 1-2g trips a month.
I lost my dad a year ago and gained 40 lbs and just over all became sad and not myself. I hated my new appearance and I was just sad and different.
I took a small dose of shrooms, about 1 gram, and it was such a great experience. I looked at myself in the mirror and felt so beautiful. My mind was sharp, I loved how silly I was. I did things without hesitation. If I needed to clean, normally I would just sit and procrastinate. But on shrooms, my body immediately moved for me to complete the chore... And happily!
I feel silly and bubbly on shrooms. I feel weightless and content. Even if I feel sad... It's like my brain knows I'm sad, but it makes being sad feel happy and you feel like everything is okay. It's hard to explain.
But yes, shrooms changed my life and I will continue to take a 1 or 2 gram trips once a month. ✨
I've definitely been insanely productive on 1g after feeling effects. Things I would feel to depressed to do (especially cleaning!), I would just do. It's helpful.
Take 5 grams and lock.yourself in a dark closet and enter the psychospehere and come out a brand new person
Amazing! But I think this dose does not count as a microdose.
@@pjny21same. 1g I get a lot done. Also have amazing meditations too.
I was wondering about if you just took a pretty light dose instead of a micro dose. I get panic attacks from smoking too much weed sometimes(although weed causes very specific thought patterns I just have a hard time dealing with, my body feels twitchy, and my thoughts also feel "twitchy" is the only way to describe it), I worry about dealing with a full on trip.
I can’t even express enough how microdosing changed me. Year ago I was in a mental mess and constant brain fog. Now, I feel great. I moved and discovered the real self. It’s worth it. We need more studies. This shit works
na, for me, big doses scare me and make me super anxious and trigger my hppd. small doses (depending on strain) so like 0.2g works for me, it's good to remember that different mushrooms have different potencies though, I grew a bath once that was super week and 2g wouldn't do much, so it's difficult to give someone an accurate recommendation for dosage. @Shaman196
How many times have you used magic mushroom to get rid of depression completely?
I’ve had brain fog for about 3 years now and it seems like it’s getting increasingly worse.. what strain did you take ? And how much
@@MariqueMcgriff try the golden teachers strain you won't get that trippy feel and it is a low dose for microdosing
@@MariqueMcgriffthe strain shouldn’t matter much. A micros dose would be around 1/2gram you really just have to experiment with it.
Sometimes hearing that something might only work as placebo really bums me out, because if I just didn't know that, then it would probably work for me. However, now that I know, it probably won't.
just get a SSRI and then dose LSD every 2 weeks
Fun thing: placebos can work for some things even when you know they're placebos.
@@computationaltrinitarianism is there any studies on this, i don't doubt it but it's interesting
Placebos can work even if you know they are placebos
@@beepboop204 Great advise! That can kill you from serotonin syndrome.
Imagine screaming and vomiting whilst having insane hallucinations. So, pretty peaceful way to go.
Microdosing made my years-long depression, anxiety, and PTSD all but completely vanish in a matter of weeks. These results are too concrete and too dramatic to even possibly be a placebo effect. And believe me, I was NOT expecting it to work. I actually thought it was going to be just another in a very long line of different and ineffective treatments I had tried over the last 30 years.
How many grams of shrooms is considered microdosing
@@cdgkappa13731/10th of full dose
chances are you're taking doses larger than a microdose. Microdosing means you take too little to have an effect so almost by definition it's ineffective.
How many times have you used magic to get rid of depression completely?
@@cdgkappa1373 approximately a range from 0,1g to 0,4g of dried mushrooms.
Placebo or not. The 30 day microdose protocol I followed had such a profound effect on me that is still with me 8 months later. I was on anti depressants for years thinking the next one will finally help me and I never got a placebo effect with that. So for me personally, I can’t deny the benefits of psilocybin in any dose
this is poor scientific journalism. That first study used doses of 13-26 mcg compared to 100-200 mg that is generally recommended, which is a tiny, tiny fraction. Then you didn’t discuss dosing for the second study... Also, these studies only discussed infrequent dosing of 2-3 days, which is 1/2 to 1/3 the total dosing that many people take, specifically people who were trying microdosing before it was a hot trend (which is admittedly an anecdote on my part).
You completely failed to acknowledge the limitations of these studies (dosing, small sample sizes) and the fact that they only apply to microdosing at these doses, with these frequencies, with these durations.
You all can do better than this. Don’t rely on clickbait and disingenuous reporting to make your points. It can reduce the validity of science in the eye of the public, which is an ever increasing problem, and reduce the credibility of this channel.
It works. I've had a RADICAL change in my mood, less swings and I am vastly less angry. Also, my fiancé was on depression and anxiety medication for years before I met her. Since we both started at the same time, she no longer takes depression and anxiety meds anymore. Now, we did the large starter dose, then followed the instructions for micro dosing, and every few months we do a large dose again. And Micro dosing requires MONTHS of use, not just a one time event. Anyway, its a natural alternative to shoving pills down your throat from Big Pharma where you usually will have some kind of side effect. In our situation, it works and I highly recommend people doing it, but the right way.
Every mic ive done was around .25g - .5 g which is obviously enough to feel some effects. I think clinical studies are too contained. For one. Everyone knows that one friend who gets a "contact" high. Yeah, a mic does work, but someone can easily fake or manufacture that they are also feeling something.
Maybe it’s just the big doses that are giving you the benefits. Maybe the microdoses you’re taking aren’t really doing anything…
@@mbaxter22 That's a lot of maybe's lol. One problem is that everyone has a different tolerance, so what could be a microdose for one person is a trip for another. It's likely though at .25 - .5 that they experienced change. It's much more rare to be born with tolerance like some are.
Bro I don’t think u understand how drugs work. Even a week of microdosing would have u see some effect. If it takes multiple months to feel a change when u don’t change ur pattern of intake means it’s not working and it’s an external factor that’s causing the change
The fact that u mix large doses every month with microdosing literally destroys any point you could have proven. For the next few months only take the large doses and see what’s different if u really want to prove the usefulness of microdosing
micro dosing isn't supposed to be a single dose ordeal, it is the practice of taking consistent does alongside practicing mindfulness. i took small doses of magic mushrooms for about 2 months and as someone with a major anxiety disorder i can attest that it most definitely changed the way my brain functions for the better. I no longer suffer from my chronic panic attacks.
Still, the burden of proof would be too show clinical efficacy over long-term use. Does any data exist demonstrating this beyond anecdotes? I feel like people are trying to counter this claim and maybe the TH-camr shouldn't have made such an assertive term like it's a scam. But at best it's a working hypothesis that has never been proven and should not be monetized as a viable solution.
And I don't mean a discount. Your personal anecdotal experience, after all. That's all we have as individuals. But a sample size of one doesn't really mean anything, there could be infinite variables that explain your difference in mood including placebo, confirmation bias, you being focused and auditing your mental health in the first place..... Some people report benefits of SSRI as long before they should make a difference. Probably because they took some agency over their life. And started to do something about their depression and that alone can have a strong impact in your mood.
But the point is if long-term usage has clinical benefits over time, that would be pretty easily demonstrated with a study of long-term usage. I do recognize studies are not especially easy to do given the legality of some of these drugs. But in any event until we see them, this is nothing more than a working hypothesis.
There our countless anecdotes of people saying it works, but people say the same thing about all sorts of pseudoscience.
@@michaelcorcoran8768 Agreed, but the issue I see with the tests above it that they administered the microcode and tested after a few hours. That's not how it works and is a pretty shit test tbh
It shouldn’t have taken 2 entire months to see changes. It literally cannot work like that. If you microcode, the amount of fun chemicals in brain will remain the same low amount the entire duration of the 2 months, none of the fun chemicals will change. Your brain detects that change and immediately changes to use those chemicals. It wouldn’t take 2 months to see results, that is the definition of a placebo effect
@@TheLoobobs64 that is how it works lol. No drug takes months to start to take effect💀 no matter how much ur taking
The best thing I’ve ever microdosed in my life is Iboga. I’ve done all of them, except mescaline. Literally permanently changed my brain chemistry for the better.
I’d like to find Iboga and/or DMT or something like that because my brain needs to be released of all the bullshit and insanity I have in it.
yeah i micro and macro dosed ibogaine hcl.... it got me off of suboxone and meth, i was hopelessly addicted for about 15 years.
@@tonygareth221 you in canada?
@@tonygareth221 DMT probably wont help
@@motooppGTAI am
For me, micro dosing helps me articulate my thoughts better. When I’m sober I forget words easily and sometimes can’t form the proper sentence I’m thinking of. When I’m high on mushrooms the words flow easily and effortlessly.
Placebo
Try dna force and brain force ❤
@@ShantyIrishman is it really a placebo if it's having THIS much of an effect? As a person who struggles with mental illness myself, it's very hard to believe that a placebo will have this profound of an effect. Make you "feel better"? Sure, I can believe a placebo could do that. But to have life changing effects on someone who struggles on the daily, like what I've seen so many people describe, does not seem realistic. But, even if it WAS a placebo, is the placebo that bad if it makes a person feel that much better?
@@cubanita365ignore the one word man, he just likes saying “placebo”. Your issue with word placement and word recognition will almost certainly be down to dyslexia. I’ve struggled with the same problem as so many with dyslexia do. Mushrooms, microdosed or otherwise will certainly help with that. They fire up parts of the brain that wouldn’t normally function that well. It’s helped me with so many things, including dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD, among other things.
I would just like to add my experience, number one I consider myself a scientific person also very depressed. To the point I’ve written ten page college papers EXCLUSIVELY on the placebo effect. Recently I started micro dosing with heavy skepticism because I had tried basically every antidepressant with higher expectations for it to never work. About 6 months ago I started microdosing shrooms, eventually found out like hey this is actually working I can’t put it into words but I just feel better and more importantly other people say my personality seems better too. I ran out of shrooms and what do you know those effects eventually wore off after a few weeks. I got more mushrooms and within 2 or 3 days I was back to “myself”. I’m watching movies and TV again, going out with friends, communicating with people I haven’t in years, cleaning my house much more and getting more school work done. I feel like I’m one of the first people to assume something is a placebo but I don’t see how at least for me that is what’s going on. I am doing it much differently than the study however, and hey studies might just need to test it differently to find results. I’m actually taking probably more like mild doses daily opposed to micro, as much ground mushroom as I can fit into a 200 mg capsule. What I really like about the small dosages for me is that I was depressed enough and experienced with psychedelics enough to worry high doses might make me feel bad as the trips can be volatile.
Yea im in the same boat where i was skeptic and i did have profound changes, and i especially noticed it wearing off right around the 6 hour mark on my first few days, even with me not knowingly keeping time. i feel we need more studies on this because i have a hard time believing its just a placebo. ive used other antidepressants too with little to no change.
I started MD 100mg Psilocybin 2/wk about 6 weeks ago and am now up to double that amount and am soon quitting and going back to psych meds. I do feel it is both a placebo and partially effective maintenance of serotonin. Although I no longer feel the long term relief in a depression, it seem to hold me over for a few days and needs reuptake after 2-3 days.
Another possible counter evidence I want to give was when I grew my own mushrooms and microdosed I noticed super good benefits and then when I tried some friends that I had bought I didn’t really get anything from the same dose with the same high expectations. I think the batch I grew had better quality or higher psilocybin count but I definitely noticed how I didn’t feel an effect but who knows could be a mix of both placebo and some chemical activity
@@leorainard2731 yes. psilocybin is light sensitive too, and potency varies by batch sometimes idk if its due to the nutrients in the soil or whatever, or just genetic variation
As someone who is not a professional. I recommend going to a higher dose sometime soon, and focusing the 'trip' on thinking about what's changed to make you feel better, both internal factors and external, and any other improvements you may need. This could help you to feel better even if you were to stop microdosing, and something else to consider is usually a bad trip means theres something wrong like trauma, or you're in a bad setting, like a party or god forbid dealing with police. A tripsitter is extremely useful here, as they can help you identify things in your setting that may be messing you up, or identify if you're entering a thought loop, which is the most common way to balloon a bad trip
I watched my friend suffer from neuropathy in her feet for years. Weeks after microdosing she hopping, skipping, jumping up and down the stairs like I had never seen her do before. She was much more active in daily life and she was very much happier. So i call BS, i saw them working with my own eyes. It was life changing for my friend and has continued to help her since.
Macro dosing would likely be more helpful.
What did she take for her neuropathy? What drug was she microdosing?
I find shrooms are equivalent to steroids as far as anti inflammatory goes.
Is 1g not 1000000mcg? If so then the referenced study was using a microdose to a microdose. In my experience a typical microdose is closer to .10g or 1/10th of a gram, which is like (again I might be an idiot) an order of magnitude larger dose.
@@ObakuZenCenter Mix the two over time. I microdose 2-3x a week but I rotate it on and off over time, but I will also do a macro like once a quarter when I really want to focus on something specific that has been bugging me. I've included others in this experience over the years and it has been incredibly impactful not just for me, but for friends willing to give it a shot in times of need too.
psychedelic therapy shows promise in the treatment of a number of mental health conditions. Get involved I'd say.
After I got laid off from work, I started taking drugs and alcohol, I became a shadow of myself, isolating from the world, not until I went on a trip and tried out shrooms I cried like a baby and since then I've been the best of myself then I can say.
I love shrooms. I've suffered from severe depression for almost two decades, the only time I felt truly free and joyous was when I've been tripping.
@@morgancr1993so how do you source yours?
Doc.felchshrooms
He's on insta ?
as some one who has adhd and has microdosed during work it has helped me focus better and gave me a little bit of energy almost as if i drank coffee but definitely didnt have the negative side effects of coffee. just kinda came and went and i felt the same after. i am unmedicated with my adhd but microdosing was similar too if i used a stimulant! ive done it since october 2022 and all ive noticed was while on it, it helped.. but once it wears off i dont feel it did anything else except help me stay more focused and maybe make music hit a little harder😂 (also i was microdosing psilocybin for those wondering)
How much do you normally take and how much do you weigh if you don’t mind me asking? And is it everyday? Cool to hear this! I’ve just started some adhd meds but prefer not to use them. They do work though!
Same thing here. Unmedicated ADHD, but when I microdose lsd it just feels like a small dose of Adderall or coffee
@@RajSingh-qf2yz the thing is i didnt weight at all, cause i dont have a scale. i would usually take the same small sized piece of a stem every third day so take monday then take thursday then sunday and so on
@@RajSingh-qf2yz dont be scared of them, they really are life savers
I would like to see more longitudinal studies on microdosing. I’m not convinced of either possibility. But I think it’s hard to determine what the benefits are after one exposure. Self reports are always tricky in research. I think the placebo effect is evidence enough that humans aren’t always the best at accurate self reporting.
i agree
the only thing we can do for a longitudinal study is wait a long time.
the logic is actually pretty simple. if you take too little of something, it does nothing. microdosing is a waste of drugs.
@@katiebarber407 that’s certainly a possibility. But psychedelics are very intense drugs. It is possible to still feel the euphoric effects that have to do with the serotonin receptors. Acting as a type of antidepressant. It just depends on the dose. I think 1/20 is way too little. 1/10 may do something. But 1/5 I could see working to some level. Many people take half a dose for the first time and don’t get visuals, but feel the euphoric and “loopy” sensation. Divide that by 2.5, you may have a milder high akin to “happy pills”.
Gold old copium
what i think is interesting is that the microdose test ammounts were in the double digit range and they say there was no difference, but i can take 5 micrograms and feel it really strong within an hour. maybe im just sensitive to psychs but my personal experience is drastically different.
Agreed. And in the beginning of the video they discussed microdoses of 100-200 mg, which is magnitudes larger than 13-26 micrograms.
My experience is different too. I have some memory issues where I’ll sometimes just forget I took psylocibin, and I’ll feel noticeably better and more confident, not always, but often.
to clarify, i am referring to lsd levels, i have not had the chance to accurately microdose mushrooms but if it's similar to what their lsd levels are i would say 100 to 200mg is probably the equivalent "strong" microdose for me
@@1TieDye1 have you not realized that 100-200mg was referring to MUSHROOMS and not LSD? There is a HUGE difference.
@@1TieDye1 100-200mg was for mushrooms, and 13-26mcg was for LSD. Those are both microdoses for each drug respectively.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression,they really helped me.
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area. I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did
The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results
Psilocybin being illegal is a crime against humanity!
tripping is not a bad idea but having a Mycologist who will recommend you the dosage is the best option
@@Philip36075 Is he on insta-?!
Sorry but I have to tell you it isn’t a SCAM. I micro dosed for the first time and it really amazed that I now think of the present instead dwelling on negative past experiences. That’s just one dose. THIS IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

Message the above handle. He sells mushrooms, chocolate bars, DMT, LSD, microdosing capsules. He's my plug and he ships discreetly
I've personally have micro dosed in the past and it helps a lot with my anxiety.. not exactly a placebo if I can feel it lol, I think making a video on this while never microdosing just to say it doesn't work is very misleading!
Yeah the guy clearly never tried that, as it's absolutely not only about "feelin better" but you properly feel a psychedelic effect that you cannot have with placebo
To call microdosing "a scam" based on the presented evidence is extremely flimsy at best. First off, we know that the benefits from psychoactive substances can be extremely broad, having profoundly different (healing) effects depending on who is taking them and at what time in their lives they take them. So to suggest that the reported benefits are "too broad" to fall under proper scientific scrutiny only proves this point about psychedelics. If anything, it shows a lack of categorical understanding on the part of the scientists. Secondly, to suggest that the effects of microdosing are no better than a placebo at improving cognitive functions and well-being based on tests and questionnaires after only five hours isn't very convincing: we know that even taking a microdose can be a profoundly disconcerting experience, for example when it confronts one with things one didn't want to face about oneself. The real benefits can often be seen only days, weeks or even months later, as one integrates the experience and its meaning - even more so with full doses, of course. Five hours hardly seems to cut it. Moreover, to equate a sub-perceptible dose of psychedelics to a placebo can only be done by one solely looking at the results of test and questionnaires. To those familiar with the psychedelic experience, the difference between no dose and a microdose, and the characteristic affinity between a microdose and a full dose will be glaringly obvious: the innate character of the substance shows itself, even at so-called sub-perceptible levels. We don't need science in order to prove this. I, for one, have repeatedly experienced a breakdown of the complete light-spectrum into it's constituent colors on only a tiny dose of LSD. Give me a placebo that does that any time. Your sensational use of words such as "scam" or "lie" based on this flimsy science I honestly find to be reprehensible. One would be well-advised to exercise a little more caution.
i completely agree with everything you’ve said here.

I hope research continues in this field. I would like to see a study where they cover a range of doses from the micro to the macro. I would like to find out where that line is between the hallucinogenic properties and the medicinal properties. It could be that microdosing, as it currently stands, is too low of a dose to receive the benefits.
the problem is that not everyone gets the same reaction from a drug let alone trying to figure out the exact amount
@@leandrolopez6093 That, and I'd be willing to bet a little money that a substance that works because of increased neuroplasticity and neurogenesis (to e.g. help shift negative patterns of thinking in depression) is bound to have perception-altering effects in any effective dose. I may eat these words in the future, but I believe that the idea that you can get the benefits without the "drawbacks" in the case of psychedelics won't lead anywhere promising. It's just how they work.
@@leandrolopez6093 I mean yeah, but that's no different than for any other pharmaceutical, so the same study design considerations will just need to be accounted for when creating dosage guidelines
The hallucinogenic properties ARE the medicinal properties. That's what people don't understand.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Psychedelics saved me from vears of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

I was almost in tears reading about the traumas people have overcome through the use of psilocybin and other psychedelics. I was so overjoyed how so many people have had such a positive experience in being able to move forward through life. The same for myself, saved my life.

Micro dosing and occasionally full dosing on psyilobin has greatly improved my memory after I had a major seizure episode that affected a lot of my short term memory and core childhood memories. It also in my experience has allowed me to manage my epilepsy without medication. Also noticed my short term memory being much more reliable. For neurodivergent individuals there is undeniable results that need more research
This is so true for so many medications. My brain/body reacts differently to a lot of psych meds. I get all the unusual/uncommon side effects.
This makes so much sense
They video only provides evidence that LSD microdosing is most likely doing nothing which is really irrelevant since almost no one is talking about LSD when they day microdosing. We’re talking about psilocybin. They study he mentioned for that is also irrelevant because it wasnt double blind. The video should be titled “why microdosing LSD may be a scam”. 🤦♂️
Sounds like the establishment wants to throw shade at something that improves the lives of the people.
I think it's important to note that the science of psychedelics is still in it's infancy in many ways. Research is extremely difficult to do in a controlled manner, and many studies are forced to rely on self-administration and self-reports, which are not the most reliable ways to construct experiments or collect data. For this reason, dosages used in various studies are not uniform, and may not be representative of actual use by those reporting benefits given the difficulty of determining dosing in the real world. Weed has a similar issue where the cannabis available for research purposes comes from a few sources and is not at all representative of cannabis being consumed by the public in terms of genetic/chemical composition or psychoactive effects.
Additionally, there have been several recent studies showing significant effects of microdosing. While there is probably a placebo effect, I think it's too early to definitively conclude that is the only effect it has, as there are lots of contradictory findings.
Claiming that the claims of microdose supporters are invalid or more difficult to test because they are broad doesn't really make sense. For one thing, macro doses of psychedelics also have a hugely broad range of effects, so we'd expect similar to come from smaller doses. Additionally, science is literally built to take broad phenomena and distill them into measurable quantities. The problem with this video is that it does not acknowledge the fact that this kind of work takes time, often decades, and that's in a situation where the research is not nearly impossible to conduct, as is the case with psychs. For a great overview, see the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics paper on microdosing, as well as Polito and Liknaitzky, 2022 (The emerging science of microdosing: A systematic review of research on low dose psychedelics (1955-2021) and recommendations for the field).
I'm a little disappointed with the definitive (almost closed-minded) tone this episode took, but I would love to see a video on science history and how long different sciences took to fully understand the landscape of their fields, and compare that to research on psychedelics.
Thanks as always for your work!

Thanks
Me too
Idk man, it's either taking a small amount of hallucinogens for the rest of my life to treat mental health, or taking unnatural chemicals with nasty side affects, also for the rest of my life.
Hmm idk if this was accounted for in the study but I think the microdose itself varies from person to person and you can't simply give everyone the same dose and expect the same thing to happen. There is no general microdose, only individual microdoses.
Taking the example of alcohol, different people will have different reactions to the same amount. If we conduct a study where everyone is given the same amount, we won't get any meaningful results.
Yes, some may take 300mg of dried psylocibin and barely feel a thing, but I take 65mg(1 days on 2 days off) and it is the sweet spot for me.
I started at 125 mg and it was way too much
@@maximepelletier7712 My point exactly. And I just remembered that even with alcohol, there are so many variables. Are you taking it on an empty stomach? Have you eaten fatty foods beforehand? This doesn't sound feasible to me.
@@feynstein1004 I take it in a green tea while eating breakfast

@@therideneverends1697 That's what I said 😂
Started microdosing sclerotia of psilocybin mushrooms at the age of 61 to see if it would help with my lifelong migraine and a decade old rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Used the “1 on - 2 off” method. Didn’t notice any changes for 3 weeks at was ready to drop it, but my health practitioner suggested I continue for another week. And indeed, something happened. Now at age 62 I’m mobile again and the arthritis is as good as gone. The migraines have drastically reduced in strength, duration, and frequency.
I’m not a scientist and to be honest, I really don’t give a 💩how and why it works 😂 it works for me. That’s all I care about. And since the sclerotia of psilocybin mushrooms , AKA magic truffles, are not illegal in Europe, I’ll stick with them 😊
I've tried microdosing on mushrooms and what I felt and experienced regarding my mood shifts and productivity was def NOT a placebo effect. First two times I could even feel it in my body and noticed really drastic effects in my day-to-day life. I could sleep better, my muscles felt relaxed as if after a full-body massage. I was inspired and motivated (and still am). But the thing with microdosing is that it builds up your tolerance fast, even if you take it every 3 days, so by the end of one month they stop giving you any noticeable effects. But I do feel at a much better place mentally right now after this month that I've done it. Make sure to keep a mood diary if you decide to try it!

I can vouch for you with experience alone
don't buy from people above, they are scams!
I had been seeing two psychiatrist and tried many different ssri's and additions. I had a severe depression that lasted two years. I cried 217 days in a row at one point. Once I started microdosing under supervision, Within three days, My depression was significantly better and each day got easier until it went into, what I call, a remission. I had tried tons of different med combos and my meds at the time of microdosing where unchanged for at least six months. Sometimes those new pathways need a lil help to get started.
Is this video a scam? Its surface-level understanding of the studies makes it seem so.
I have a anxiety disorder and I can say microdosering does work!
Does it good for agoraphobics?
I was just introduced to micro dosing and I have to disagree that they think is a lie, I have been suffering from anxiety, depression, lack of energy, moody and anti social… and I didn’t believe this was going to help me. I noticed on the 3rd day a big difference, and i didn’t even realize that I woke up more energetic, in a peaceful state of mind, cleaned my entire house top to bottom! 3 hours, cooked, did a workout and could still keep going! Went to work in a happy mood that was noticed by my coworker, had conversations with clients and enjoyed it and was very talkative! So yes I truly believe this works! And has also helped my daughter have better relationships specially with me! This is a blessing and I will continue to use it
Microdosing psilocybin therapy is the best to treat all chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, see below he’s well known in the field, he’s got psyche meds and microdosing, grow kit, chocolate bars, gummies, MDMA, LSD, DMT
*@PHARMSTAIN* that's the handle?
On Telegram also Instagrams?
Correct me if I heard wrong, it sounds like those studies were about short term use. I'm curious to see if there will be any studies about long term use and what those results will be. Mostly because of the neuroplasticity effects of full doses
Also some recommended a higher dose for psilocybin as well as there being different protocols. So, more tests please
@AsapSCIENCE Could you guys please do a video about HPPD (Hallucinogen Persistent Perception Disorder)? I had it really bad for almost two years after one year of taking a full dose of psilocybin every week, I would increase it for my tolerance but never exceeded 5g of mushrooms. Once the HPPD started to hit me I lost the ability to think coherently or form logical thoughts which was terrifying and the visual snow/other waviness in my vision continued at almost full force as if I was tripping for year after I stopped taking any psychedelics. I was also on an SSRI when I did all those mushrooms so I was being irresponsible for sure but still I didn't know how dangerous tripping that much could be or that I was putting my ability to think coherently at risk. I just want more people to understand how psychologically dangerous psychedelics are and I hope people exercise extreme caution when using them outside of a clinical setting!
Taking SSRIs with any serotonin-stimulant drug is very, very bad. HPPD is a serious thing, I seriously hope you've gotten better, remember, there hasn't ever been a case of permanent HPPD! It will go away eventually.
Next time you experiment on yourself like this, try to do some basic research first. 30 seconds of googling would tell you NOT to do shrooms on SSRIs. Firstly, the SSRIs are likely to prevent the desired effects of psilocybin, and also you are at severe risk of serotonin syndrome, which can be lethal. Don't be idiots, folks.
I hope you feel better now. Definitely taking any drug and SSRIs at the same time is no good and I discovered it the same way as you did. I didn't have the same symptoms but had extreme paranoia a delusions for at least two weeks and still have mild symptoms from time to time. It'd be interesting if they do make a video about it tho!
It's important to be very well informed on drugs and their risks before taking them (psychonaut wiki is an incredible resource for anyone thinking about taking any drug). Some tips as relates to your experience:
- Don't mix tryptamines with SSRIs, they tend to counteract the effects (in some cases even fully negate them) - speak to a doctor about weaning down your dose if that's what you want to do. Don't go cold turkey, don't try to wean yourself without medical advice and supervision.
- The typicaly advised reset period for macrodosing tryptamines is (at least) 2 weeks. You shouldn't have to develop a tolerance and I think the developing of a tolerance is a sign of overuse. Better to bring your tolerance back down to your dose than your dose up to your tolerance.
I'm not trying to bring you down/blame you at all, just sharing the advice that I've heard that might help anyone else avoid having to go through what you went through.
@@banehog Exactly.
Tolerance is also an issue. Most psychedelics temporarily loose their power after using them; it takes at least a week to reset their efficacy.
I know there are microdosing patterns designed to compensate for this, but I doubt anyone can really beat tolerance.
It’s such a small amount tolerance isn’t an issue
@@snaxgalore5764 Sure, tolerance probably happens gradually: High dose - high tolerance pushback, low dosage - low tolerance pushback. But the end result is the same: the effect of the substance will disappear, especially when taken on a daily basis because the tolerance will likely increase every day if you don’t take tolerance breaks of at least one week.
@@Slurkz with such small amounts you really only need a few days (supposedly, I’m not a scientist lol)
@@snaxgalore5764 Maybe, but than you also won’t benefit from the claimed effect that is supposed to happen when _actually_ taking the dose _frequently_ . Hence: microdosing most likely does nothing. But of course the placebo-effect should not be underestimated, so let’s not tell anyone 😉
@@Slurkz try it, you might prove yourself wrong I’ve only been microdosing a week and the change is crazy
Ive been microdosing mushrooms over a year now and its been the best thing I’ve ever taken for depression, mental cognition, ADHD, quitting addictions, and finding meaning in life.

@@turbo8917 google fadiman protocol microdosing
Well placebos are proven to work
@@turbo8917it’s really easy man. Once you have your mushrooms, use a coffee grinder to turn them into powder. From there you can get clear pill 💊 capsules so that you can weigh out a precise dose. For this you need a standard digital scale thats sensitive to 1/100th of a gram.
Generally a microdose is 0.2 grams, but it varies and you should experiment to find your ideal dose. My pill capsules weigh 0.1 grams, and so I weigh out 0.3 grams of mushroom powder in my pill capsule using my digital scale. Then down the hatch. I get a faster effect if I let the mushroom powder marinate in my mouth, which begins the digestion process immediately.
For ideal results, space your microdoses out so that your taking 1 microdose every 3 days. If you were to microdose every single day without a break, the effect would be diluted from your 2nd day onward. But spacing it out will give your brain the full effect every single time.

@@mycatrita Also every continent on earth had people using mushrooms for thousands of years, From africa, to europe to australia and india, Every single one. We cant die from intake, cant get addicted, they are harmoginous to our bodies, and the benefits are undenyable..

The results of the study where they gave 4 microdoses to participants kind of feel expected. I didn't feel any improvement before at least a month of microdosing. I've microdosed on and off, and I always found that I either needed to actually get high on a 1000-2000mg dose first, or microdose for a couple weeks, before I felt that the effects worked again. Then again, it might all be placebo
Taking 5 grams in the dark is not placebo when you’re seeing God and forgetting your whole identity.
@@rslongshot7453 This!!!
I tried acid and shrooms. Shrooms arent so good for microdosing, but acid is different story. I was taking a dose big enough to feel it just a little. It worked and it definitely wasnt placeboo. Needed dose varies, also does the place where you get it from.
Been microdosing for a few months now, honestly the way I can work out of lifelong ruts, ptsd, and essentially have a lot of the benefits of adhd medication without losing myself as a person is insane. Maybe its all placebo, but I cant deny what its done for me so far.

Loved this video, thank you for all the information. I wonder if an MRI of the brain would show changes with the micro-dosing vs the placebo.
It doesn't change the shape or density of your brain, so it shouldn't. Even if you saw a difference, we already know there were ultimately no effects on behavior, mood, or performance at those dosages.
@@ZadamanimEven if there isn't a difference in the placebo test, I just think it would be interesting to see the neuroimaging of a microdose or a even full dosage of magic mushrooms.
@@afterdarkpainting He mentioned ECG in the video, and said there was some difference in the ECG activity but didnt go into detail.
There are many studies showing the MRI impact of various hallucinogenics on the brain. I’m sure you can find clips on TH-cam. There are also some great shows on Netflix about fungi & medical benefits.
@@Zadamanim I disagree. I think there would be minor differences in how the brain communicates just as there are with a macrodose. Microdosing works, but the amount of microdoses it takes to "work" is multiple microdoses.
I've always been of the opinion that an occasional big dose is way more effective than regularly microdosing, especially if you're defining microdosing as a sub perceptual dose (meaning you can't even feel it). I think light doses are good for if you want a creative boost but still wanna be able to function, if you're comfortable with psychedelics you can take like 1/4 of a dose rather than a 1/10. I think most of the reason microdosing is so popular is people want the benefits of psychedelics while still being able to have a 9 to 5 and be able to take care of their other responsibilities and if you take a full dose of psylocybin or LSD you pretty much need a whole weekend just to yourself in a calm environment and nothing you have to do but trip and unfortunately that's not practical for a lot of people. That's why I think we really need psylocybin clinics that regular people can go to and have a calm environment with someone to watch after them and help them process the trip, this is gonna be the best way moving forward cause not everyone is like me and can take 8 grams of mushrooms and dance naked in my kitchen without worrying about my neighbors calling the cops.

For me it's go big or go home. I prefer the occasional profound experience to feeling a slight pick me up every day. I tried the Stamets stack for three weeks and got nothing out of it. Sorry Paul.
@@jasonlemrise I totally agree, I think unfortunately so many people can't fit an intense mushroom experience into their life because of work or family or where they live so microdosing is the trendy thing. I do think small doses can boost creativity, help focus and it also relaxes me and relieves pain. I can still function fine to play guitar, garden, draw, paint, or mountain bike on like half a gram of mushrooms but taking like a quarter or less just feels pointless. And for mental spiritual healing you can't beat the occasional good ol 5 dried grams in silent darkness, like Terrence McKenna says "Nature respects courage and if you dive into the abyss you'll find it's a feather bed"
8 grams?! DAMN I wanna party with you
@@Emile.gorgonZola One of my long term goals is to run a psylocybin clinic one it's legalized.

Whats currently being called a microdose i think is too small, when i "micro dose" i take a quarter - half tab of acid. Id like to see studies around that dose range
Homie that is not a microdose lol. Call it what it is - a half dose. I have friends who do something similar.
This just proves that placebos work, it doesn't mean microdosing is a placebo.
@TomBratt-vy4tk thank you, fed.
One of your sources completely contradicts this video and says that microdosing does indeed improve the patients mood and mental health after one month. Anyone who does actual research on microdosing knows its not a take one and done scenario like you have presented it as here.
Do you take anti-depressants once? No for most of them you will need to be on them for a period of time before the effects are noticeable. Same thing applies for microdosing.
You also just come off extremely arrogant in this video. I've watched plenty of your videos before and you don't normally have this attitude about you. Terrible take and presentation here.

The biggest problem that you missed is that your micro-dose isn’t the same as the next person’s. There are huge factors based on the person’s neurology, their receptors, medications, strain, etc, etc. Labs are too constrained by regulation, while people following a micro-dose regime in the real world show real results.
I know for a fact it has helped myself & several other people struggling with PTSD & depression. I also know it helped me stop procrastinating with goals I had. If it's a scam I wonder what was going on with my Antidepressants that had such bad side effects?

it's cool to have the science explained in a video, I never really thought it was the 'Micro' dose that got me calm, I always assumed you took a small dose over a heroic dose because you were trying to still have a day while tripping (maybe not balls) on mushrooms.
If youve never gone to sleep for years wishing to not wakeup, despite the trajectory of your life or the position you're in being positive or negative, with multiple near success attempts to do so for your entire life, only to take some shrooms and not feel that way anymore. You have no right to say its a scam. Microdosing (and the occasional hero dose) cured my clinical depression. I dont even use shrooms anymore, and I can tell you its been years since i put a barrel into my mouth and begged for the courage to pull the trigger. It took a year of microdosing and using shrooms to give me something i had NEVER had; peace!
My experience is that microdosing benefits more over time and has become more effective for me and preferable to my ADHD medication. I’m not sure how long these studies lasted but I noticed the best results after three months.

I thought microdosing was breaking up the entire amount over time - but like a day 🤷🏾♀️
I had severe depression and didn't want to get trapped in the pharma system with shitty anti depressants so I decided to grow my own shrooms. I experimented with different doses. .25, .5, .1, 1.5, 2.5 and 6g lol each trip has taught me something. I started breaking patterns. Doing things differently. Evolving. Yes they do work. BUT you gotta read and understand how they work so you can get the best from them. They are just a tool like a gym. You still gotta know what exercises to do to get the best gains.
How do you know what exercises to do? Is it obvious things like therapy, exercise etc?
@@Mannsy83 What's up brother. The medicine definitely increased my intuition. I remember the first time I tried to drink a beer after my first treatment. It was really difficult to drink it, my brain would keep asking me why are you drinking this? And then I would realize it was just a routine I had. Same thing happened with food when I would eat until I was really full to the point of feeling sick, I'd get the same question from my brain, why are you eating this much if you will feel this horrible? Is this what you want? So my answer was "I want to feel better". Another cool thing the medicine showed me was possible consequences for my actions. Consequences of drinking, not working out and eating too much. Then it showed me the consequences of keeping my body clean. exercising, eating healthy. And again it would ask me which path I wanted to follow, I always had a choice. It was a really beautiful transformation, I'm still mastering myself and continue clean, exercising every day for 30m and eating as healthy as I can. The exercises that have worked the best for me are a foundation of 3 main points. Mind, body and spirit. The exercise for my mind is to read every day a chapter of a book that would increase my awareness, right now I'm reading how to win friends and influence on people (really recommended), for my body I exercise in my basement for 30 minutes every morning utilizing intrinsic motivation rather than extrinsic motivation, I do it because it makes me feel good and not because it will make me look good. And for the spirit I do different things like meditation by always asking WHY? Breathing exercises to bring clarity and connection between my mind and body, I work on music which feeds my soul and gives sense and purpose to my life, relationships by practicing mindful listening and connection. Right now I'm pursuing a new career path to become a certified Health and Wellness Coach so feel free to ask me any questions brother. I've been there and I completely understand the feeling of isolation. You are not alone, we are all connected, we are one and we are here to help each other.
I must say I am unsure about the studies you linked in the description. In two studies, they only administered one dose, and in one study, they administered a total of seven doses over a period of three weeks, which was the longest duration studied. Only one study reported benefits.
I always thought that you need to microdose for an extended period (e.g., 6 months or more) before experiencing any benefits.
I find it hard to imagine that a single microdose would be of any help.
I started microdosing almost 3 years ago after multiple failures with anti-depressants . I too have been able to rebalance my life and outlook . There is no placebo effect .. if I don't take those meds every 3-4 days my depression starts closing in again . I am grateful for these plants working so well .. and so is my doctor . He prefers to have me alive . I am in my 60's and live with 3 fricking auto-immune diseases . Golden teacher was an excellent shroom to start with imho .
i ate mushrooms every day for a month to kick fent and crack. i was a sentient nutella crepe
Pet peeve: Mushrooms are not plants. Happy to hear they are helping you though!
That’s still placebo effect
@@dilaisy_loone2846 I recommend trying it your self. It's definitely not a placebo. Iv taken quite a few strains in mild doses and micro doses. The heavy body I get is sometimes a bit overwhelming even in microdoses. Maybe some people are more sensitive to the mushroom then others. Everyone is different
Yeah like I'm not trying to lose my cool but these studies aren't studying people with mental health problems, of course mocrodosed aren't going to affect you nearly as much if there's nothing there to fix to begin with
you went from 100-200mg as the standard micro-dose to a study that used only 13-26micrograms (0.013mg-0.026mg). How is this in any way a comparable dose? how can you pass that off as meaningful data?
I feel like it worsens my focus and ADHD (at least while I’m on a dose) but dramatically helps my social anxiety, even when I’m not on a dose. I just notice that I’m not overthinking socializing. I no longer need or want a drink while hanging out with someone.
Yep, this is what I suspected. Happy that you are shedding light on the new studies. For me it's macrodosing all the way 💥💥💥
@Jack Wrath that’s not to difficult. This video is garbage lol.
Full doses are great. Micro dosing is definitely a powerful tool as well. Let’s not make definitive statements like “micro dosing is a scam” based of 2 studies one of which wasn’t even done in a controlled environment or over seen…
Love, love, love your videos! I appreciate how you explain, in every day terms, how the world works.
gracias!!!
@@AsapSCIENCE this is poor scientific journalism. That first study used doses of 13-26 mcg compared to 100-200 mg that is generally recommended, which is a tiny, tiny fraction. Then you didn’t discuss dosing for the second study... Also, these studies only discussed infrequent dosing of 2-3 days, which is 1/2 to 1/3 the total dosing that many people take, specifically people who were trying microdosing before it was a hot trend (which is admittedly an anecdote on my part).
You completely failed to acknowledge the limitations of these studies (dosing, small sample sizes) and the fact that they only apply to microdosing at these doses, with these frequencies, with these durations.
You all can do better than this. Don’t rely on clickbait and disingenuous reporting to make your points. It can reduce the validity of science in the eye of the public, which is an ever increasing problem, and reduce the credibility of this channel.
Yeah this video is incredibly misleading
This reminds me of being prescribed Ritalin in grade school.
I told my Dr. it wasn't helping me maintain control over my actions so he doubled the dosage, but when I said it still wasn't helping he told me that I still have to make the choice to be in control... I stopped taking the drug immediately and took more conscious responsibility for my own actions. I decided it wasn't worth relying on placebo when it was up to me to believe in myself anyway.
Well he sounds like a great doctor. I don’t know many doctors who will say that
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode enough to start working on my mental health
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need
He's DENACEPZ
He’s on insta?
Yes, he is DENACEPZ
Does he make delivery across the state??
I agree to disagree here. These studies aren’t really the best ones since they don’t seem to have tested for a long period of time expect for one that tested for 30 days which actually showed that it had improvements. We all can agree that one micro dose of any psychedelic won’t do anything. As you said yourself microdose is in such low quantities that you are not suppose to feel any physiological alterations. I myself have “microdosed” and while the dose was closer to 1/5-1/10 I feel like it still somewhat counts. I did this every other day for a week and thanks to this I was finally able to stop smoking. This was a last resort for me since none of the other methods that my doctor had suggested worked..
But isn't that exactly what they're saying - you believing there's an effect made you stop, not the effect itself.
@@WiktorJurek You sure haven’t tried any psychedelics. Definitely not. I had tried everything. As I said this was a last resort and it was not like I was not trying with every drop of my power. There are tons of self reported and studies that show that psychedelics help with treating addiction, something that wasn’t brought up at all in this video. Make your research before believing one single video
@@WiktorJurek like the person above said, do more research on your own instead of completely trusting one video. the participants were “normal people” with no mental health issues they were actively trying to fix or focused on during the microdosing. that makes a HUGE difference since set and setting determine where the psychedelic works.
Everyone is different, and have different tolerances. In my experience microdosing does work, and so does having a bit larger doses too, psychedelics are a gift from nature 😊
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression I would like to try them again but its just hard to source our here
I was having constant unbearable anxiety because of university stress not until I came across myco_john9 ,an intelligent and quite profound mycologist he saved my life honestly.
The trips I have been having has really helped me a lot, I feel in control of my emotions and actions
@@coleswipes Were can I search him ?
Telegram
@@coleswipes Came across the comments about myco_john9 and I must say he is a genius
It made me feel a lot more positive and easier to handle ny negative emotions and I only just took my first dose!
What were the effects of you don't mind me asking I'm really interested in this .
