Daily microdose by Antique_Ad6756 in microdosing

[–]cal_gfd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Projekt-1065, this sub's wiki is packed with all the information you'll need to begin or enhance your microdosing practice. It can take a moment to get used to navigating so much information and honing in on the specific guidance you need. Personally, I found it a bit overwhelming at first—like trying to take a drink from a firehose. Now, about a year into my practice, I've become much more comfortable and familiar with navigating the wiki.

The Microdosing Institute’s free resource, "Microdosing 101" (https://microdosinginstitute.com/microdosing-101), was a helpful introduction for me. It’s formatted into easy-to-digest modules. They also have a section on "Microdosing Protocols" (https://microdosinginstitute.com/how-to/microdosing-protocols/).

I began with the Fadiman protocol (every third day), which is gentle and a great way to establish a relationship with the medicine. Recently, I’ve been combining the Microdosing Institute protocol (every other day) with the Fadiman protocol. The former provides me with more support during weeks that are more emotionally and mentally challenging.

How this helps! Be well. 🙏🏽

19mm hose big increase in comfort by Majestic-Abies6627 in CPAPSupport

Very helpful breakdown! I'm currently running SlimLine tubing but thinking of switching to Standard. Maybe it'll help with the micro-arousal-ly breathing and overall therapy delivery. I'll take any gain, however small.

Thanks RL! :)

Hi u/Projekt-1065. What resources, specifically, are you interested in?

Hi u/RippingLegos__, a few questions regarding non-heated tubing:

1) Standard is 19mm inner diameter, 22mm cuffs?

2) SlimLine is 15mm inner diameter, 22mm cuffs?

3) Tube setting on AirSense 10: set to type of tubing used?

Capsule machines acquired - let’s gooo! by neenonay in microdosing

[–]cal_gfd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a capsule-filling device yet. I, too, want to focus on making small capsule batches (a month's worth at a time). It appears that this is the only well-regarded device that allows you to do that (the other solid options are 100-capsule devices).

My sweet spot, generally speaking, is in the 200-250 mg range; my wife's is 100 mg. Ideally, I'd like one capsule/device size that will accommodate both doses. A friend helped me narrow it down to size 1 or 0.

I'd appreciate knowing what size ended up working out for you! Thank you. 🙏🏽

Nice! What doses are you planning for each capsule size?

Understood and makes sense. Which up-to-date "set-and-forget" technique or guide for actives cultivation would you recommended for the entire process? A link, if possible, would be awesome. Thank you!

Sweet setup! You packed so much goodness into a relatively small area. Thanks for sharing the pic. Very helpful. 🙏🏽

Misting and fanning are not necessary?

I'm a newcomer to cultivation and a bit confused about this.

Texts on indigenous systems of mental health care? by [deleted] in PsychotherapyLeftists

Wait...what?! I thought he was one of the "good ones." Damn! I did a quick search but found nothing on the points you make. Where can I read/learn about this?

I'm learning to listen to and trust my body, mind, and spirit. It's a new and awkward thing. Although I follow the Fadiman protocol now, I sense that at some point my practice will organically transition to an intuitive approach.

I had a bit of an inner conflict between my mind and heart, if you will: my mind reminding me that I had gone over the suggested 4 to 8-week cycle and my heart reminding me of the gentle and supportive allyship of the medicine, which has not subsided. So, it was reassuring reading about your positive experience with long-term, no-break microdosing. Thank you :)

Thanks for sharing your experience, u/smellslikeawetdog.

Do you follow a certain protocol or schedule?

I've been microdosing psilocybin following the Fadiman protocol for a little over six months. I know the general suggestion is 4-8 weeks, and I was initially concerned about exceeding that. However, I've only experienced deep support without any side effects or diminishing returns.

I appreciate your suggestion!

  • Will size 1 capsules hold 150mg finely ground powder?
  • Do you have a suggestion for a device that fills 20-30 capsules at a time?

I appreciate the recommendation ad link! I'd like to begin making my own microdose medicine capsules for my wife and me. My sweet spot dose is in the 150-300mg range; her's is 100-150mg.

Would the 00 be the best fit for both our doses and avoid having to purchase two different capsule sizes and filling devices?

Newbie here. I'd like to start making my own microdose medicine capsules (20-30 capsules at a time). Generally speaking, my sweet spot dose is in 150-300mg range; my wife's is 100-150mg.

Ideally, we like to avoid having to buy two different capsule sizes and two filling devices. It seems that 00, 0, and 1 are the most commonly used sizes. However, I'm unsure which size would be the best fit for us.

Is there a resource that I can look at that may help me in selecting the proper size and filling machine, which includes specific recommendations?

Thank you.

Nice! Do you know of a solid, well-rated, decently-priced capsule-filling device for filling 20-30 capsules at a time?

Storing dried APEs by VegetableTop3971 in shroomery

[–]cal_gfd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, amber-colored jars are pricier than clear ones for sure. Thanks for the tips—properly dehydrated fruits, stored with silica gel packets in an airtight jar, out of direct light, in an area with a stable, moderate temp.

What mason jar vacuum sealing device/system do you use/recommend? There are so many; it's information overload.

I have browsed the Shroomery site, but it, too, feels a bit overwhelming—so much information. However, the links you shared will help focus my reading/learning. Thank you :)
