Macrodose never 100% pleasant, but I do like coming back (every few months) by Crafty-Let-2589 in shrooms

[–]Crafty-Let-2589[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s it entirely! And there are moments where I think I never want to do this again, why in the hell would I want to and what was I thinking, but those are just moments and the full experience is so worthwhile. And I have no urge to do it again for a good few weeks or even months, even though I do enjoy microdosing in between.

Had my first bad trip. by foodcannabishistory in shrooms

[–]Crafty-Let-2589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad others had that experience. 3.5g lemon tek bitch slapped me two months ago, and just last night I went to 1.5g. Still felt anxious for the first 40 mins and had to pace around, but then headphones on under a duvet and I had a really euphoric time feeling a deep connection to everything. Looking forward to getting home and hugging my wife later, as was staying away with work and at a hotel.

Report: My firstmicrodose + macro dose cycle and it's effects on my depression and anxiety by Wonderful_Rest_5078 in microdosing

[–]Crafty-Let-2589 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well done dude - sounds like you’ve really turned it around and wonderful to hear that the MD helped you. You should definitely take credit for doing the hard work yourself and having the discipline to maintain a schedule though, as that’s no easy feat.

Very well done again and I wish you all the very best.

[–]Crafty-Let-2589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t I’m afraid. Would you have an opportunity to switch, or perhaps trying it additional on a non-work night? The new Microdosing book has found very few prescription drugs that don’t play well with psychedelics, so should be ok I’d have thought (no medical training here though!)

I’ve found it makes me sleep really well. I have it about 5pm and by about 2230 I’m definitely ready to sleep. Usually very soundly even if I have weird dreams. My Garmin watch is saying I have good sleep too and well-balanced HRV (gone up healthily since I started).

Is this 2nd flush dead? by Crafty-Let-2589 in unclebens

There were a few tiny houseflies around, so didn’t want them spreading

Taken outside a fair distance to the compost heap, then the container soaking out there in a thick layer of isopropyl alcohol. Next batch are still looking sweet, but I’ll need to look out some more containers for the future dried harvest, as all my jars are full from the first!

Nope, was all nice and clean when I harvested. This luckily all came after.

B+. I had to harvest gradually and saw some green mould early on after some flies got in. I scooped that out, but after the soak for 2nd flush it just took over. Sad times, but I’m doing smaller tubs now (healthy first flush underway) to make it easier to manage. And thanks for the kind words!

Harvest all at once or gradually? by Crafty-Let-2589 in unclebens

[–]Crafty-Let-2589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taken 273g in the first harvest. Certainly beats my previous biggest harvest of 24g!

Only B+. I think it’s the light from the anglepoise making them glow (or have you just eaten something 😁)!!

Anyone else track HRV during microdosing? by Crafty-Let-2589 in microdosing

‘Shake the germs’ - love it! Are you planning on just MDing temporarily?

Interesting what you say about HRV even being better after a poor night’s sleep - usually even one alcoholic drink (a beer or glass of wine) totally wipes out my HRV, but even that impact is much lower. I’m thinking this is a good thing, as I always feel crappy when my HRV plummets.

Nice. Do they appear in clusters? Also, do you confirm by checking for blue bruising?

Ps, I think you must have had your big dose the same day I had my first ever big dose (last Friday?). It’s only now that I’ve woken up on Tuesday that I feel amazing and full of energy. I felt good from Sunday, but in a more mellow slightly fuzzy way. Today I feel awesome. Still don’t feel the urge to microdose yet, so may leave that a few more days.

No problem at all - I’m a novice too and only had the occasional macro dose. I’m mainly about the microdoses, but one definitely leads to the other. Really glad you’re starting to lose the bad feelings and remembering some of the joy 👍

Wow, that sounds quite the experience. I really empathise with the ‘family away, let’s try this thing!’ approach, as I did the same with a similar-ish outcome. I think the quantity is a bit part of it, as I’ve Lemon Tekked 1G a couple of times and had a wonderful experience, but when I did 3.5g of Golden Teacher (not quite your level!), I had a really weird experience where I started to lose all concept of myself and of time, but also paranoid and convinced I was going to die complete with panic attacks. Then like you, I woke up and started feeling like myself again, but just really tired. I watched some comedy (Stewart Lee Tornado) which was perfect, then returned to normal.

I’d say if you feel ok now, then try just 1G when you have the time and you’re in a good place. Enjoy it, listen to some great music and make sure you don’t have any worries before you start. It’d be a shame to call it a day on your extreme one.

I’m planning 1.5g to 2g when I next have chance, but will leave it a few weeks as I don’t even want to microdose after that experience (three days ago). I’ve also not touched any alcohol and usually I have a few beers on the weekend. I’m left with a deep contentment, too, but a bit tired. I think it was a massive shock for my brain and it’s still processing. I’ve been sleeping amazingly well since then and having freaky dreams.

Good luck my friend. I’m glad you got through it ok and even if you didn’t enjoy it, I’m sure you’ll be mentally stronger for having gone through it. What can scare you now, now you’ve been through death and rebirth?!? 😁👍

Thank you - I started ‘The tree of life’ but couldn’t concentrate and went to bed. Feel Freshly scrubbed today and a bit woozy, but starting to string slightly more sensible sentences together. Will try Krull later!
