A collaboration between 34 researchers at 18 institutions has looked into the efficacy and safety of psilocybin in patients with major depressive disorder.
Thanks, was hoping to find this in the comments. That's actually much lower than I expected, always thought you had to go on a 5g journey. I personally don't even get visual hallucinations on 2.5g
Makes sense as long as it works, a lot of people are not prepared to trip balls anyway, even as part of a treatment. Ketamine (for the same purpose, which is increasingly a thing) has the same issue.
Never done drugs but depression is fucking horrible and debilitating. If the price to pay for putting depression on hiatus for a year or two is tripping balls, sign me the fuck up right now. I swear the first second I am retired (and thus can't get fired for drugs) I am investigating one of these types of treatments. But my understanding is micro dosing is generally the treatment? Idk.
Unless you live in a state/country where there are clinical trials/treatment options, youre basically left with 3 options. 1. Foraging, psilocybin shrooms are everywhere (unsafe unless you're very confident in your findings) 2. Order online (still unsafe but less chance of accidental poisoning, also runs the risk of law enforcement) or 3. That guy from highschool still probably knows someone that can hook you up.
Mushrooms are 100% legal in Jamaica. They were never illegal (as weed is). So the government actually has special business licenses for people who sell them, to promote tourism.
Yeah, I am going to call bullshit on this one. I tried shrooms once and it seemed like it helped, but then my depression came back a little over a year and a half later.
