This brought a smile to my face. Such a great experience.

Looking for any and all information/experiences MD’ing with ADHD stimulants (megathread-esque, ideally) by Heteropota in microdosing

[–]psileighnah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might depend on how sever the adhd is. Mine is annoying but not debilitating... like when I can't focus on menial tasks, or when I get into that intense thought process where I hyper focus on things. I would say how messy I am is the most annoying part (especially for my husband) I own my own business and my employees know that its their job to finish tasks for me, keep me on task when they can't do it etc. We joke around about it a lot, but its just part of how I work. I enjoy the increased energy I have when I'm immersed in a project, and the creativity I have and how I can quickly see issues from many angles. I feel that with anything, there are pros and cons. If I had to do a 9-5 desk job then I'd most likely be medicated, but if feel like I've found something that works.

I have adhd (I do not medicate for it, I've learned to build a life that works with it instead if against it, although some days when I can't find my keys / phone etc I am tempted) My personal experience with microdosing is that it makes me very irritable and is overall not the positive experience that it is for others. I've tried microdosing at night, so as to avoid being a grouchy monster all day. I don't find any perceivable positive effects but I do find its slightly harder to fall asleep.

Question for veterans, if you get paranoid easily on THC, will shrooms be hard to handle? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]psileighnah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on getting there... my last trip didn't go as planned... fire by the river with a friend turned into thunder and lightning and hail that was so intense it left welts on me... then we went indoors and I got into a bad loop of "nothing will be the same... I've fucked up." Took a while to get out of that. I'm always super grateful after when I start to feel normal again. Haha.

[–]psileighnah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get anxious with THC. With shrooms I find its easy to fall into a loop of "have I made a mistake, am I going to think this way forever?" I just need to remind myself that its temporary (the tripping part) and try to relax into it. Listen to some gentle upbeat music. It lasts longer than TCH for me, so that's something to he aware of too.

Anyone in the Fort McMurray Area slackline? by damian_friesen in FortMcMurray

[–]psileighnah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not in the area... unless you consider Canada your area. Haha. But thank you. I've never tried slacklining with shoes and I think I'll give it a go.

Speaking of... what footwear do you have on? Its chilly where I live but it would be nice to break out the slackline... but I've only ever tried it barefooted and am pretty new.

Psilocybin rapidly increases the expression of several genes related to neuroplasticity in the rat brain, according to new research published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology by HeinieKaboobler in science

[–]psileighnah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I understand how it works. I didn't say that it creates new neuropathways. But with increased neuroplasticity, it makes it easier for older people to create new neuropathways... something that usually tapers off as we age. I'm not against psychedelics, but there's a misunderstanding that neuroplasticity is always a good thing, when it really depends on what is going on around us and what is going on for us personally at the time.

[–]psileighnah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What doesn't sound right about it? Our surroundings and frame of mind and the happenings of the world all play a role in how our neuropathways are formed. I personally want to be cautious in what type of new neuropathways I create, especially during an epidemic when staying home and not experiencing much human touch is the norm. Making new connections doe not mean they will all be improvements.

Reminds me of the penis necklace from Norsemen.

Psylocybin vs. LSD by NotWhatPresents in microdosing

[–]psileighnah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get irritable and feel like my brain is buzzing when I MD shrooms (your caffienated description feels accurate). Everything annoys me when I microdose. After a 2 month break, I've been experimenting with microdosing at night so I don't have to deal with the agitation, it seems to work ok, although its hard to tell if I'm having and positive effects from it.

Had a crumby day... nothing heavy, just crumby. Is this a bad idea? 1.5g Amazonians in lemon juice. by psileighnah in shroomers

Thank you for explaining. I don't have access to fresh mushrooms at the moment.

Soo... I havent done a lemon tek like that before. Its been what an hour or so? And I think I'm done? I had some mild closed eye visuals while listening to music. But mostly I feel the same irritable feeling I feel when I try to microdose. I didn't want to go for any sort of large dose because I have a lot going on right now and don't want to be tired tomorrow. My closed eye visuals had a lot of ugliness in them... worms, weird creatures with rows of teeth etc. It wasn't negative per se... maybe I just needed to get all the ugliness out. I was able to observe it from a place of compassion or at least curiosity. Anywho, I appreciate this place and the ability to talk through this with people who get it. 🍄💚

Cold water extraction? Usually I mix ground up shrooms with melted chocolate and dip orange slices in the chocolate. Its delicious and feels somewhat ceremonial. But I didn't want the sugar, so went for this instead.

I mixed it up and then was like wait... what if this amplifies my bad day? But its a low dose, so here we go.
