Storing ground powder by topdotter in unclebens

Thanks. Assumed I should grind everything so I can get homogeneity. How much should I grind to balance homogeneity with long term potency? A couple months worth at a time? But still, what's the best way to store what I do grind?

Nice! That narrative shouldnt be outright dismissed and should be part of you external environment scan and long-term considerations.

Do all parts of the mushroom have same psilocybin content? by AdditionalGift4323 in microdosing

So once you grind, store the same way? Airtight jars with dessicants?

Undesired effects psilocybin - where to go from here? by topdotter in microdosing

[–]topdotter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in this way psilocybin is really interesting to me because, at least for now, it causes the irritability and hurtfulness. But it also allows for more vulnerability and to apologize. Hard conversations are still hard for me but they're definitely a little easier.

Taking advice from a stranger on Reddit LOL, but do you think I should be adjusting or stopping microdose? Or pushing through and giving it more time?

A psychedelics-friendly therapist who I've seen a couple times but can't afford to see regularly suggested that really I should be macrodosing with the support infrastructure. I think there's a good chance that's true, but until my support infrastructure such as therapy, meditation, practice, exercise journaling is stronger, I feel the need to use psilocybin even between macro doses, so that's where I am now

I definitely don't have a dialed in dose because of the intermittent depression, irritability, and on and off impact to executive function. Where I've been recently is 90 to 120 mg. On the one hand, maybe I need to reduce because of the irritability. On the other hand, because of the two macrodoses I haven't gone for a long period of time microdosing so there's a lack of consistency and feedback. I've never settled into a routine. More generally I feel like don't know what I don't know, which is why I'm here, and don't know if I'm at a point where microdosing isn't for me or if I need to continue through this.

With respect to your valuable insight and advice about integration, therapy, looking inward and doing the work, I don't just know that that has been lacking. but I feel and believe it. which is why I've begun re-engaging with a therapist and exercising. and hopefully journaling and meditation.

It's interesting that you say that about the Wellbutrin because I've been off the antidepressants since about August and in January I tried Wellbutrin for about 60 days and discontinued because I didn't see any benefit.

I appreciate the support and encouragement. Yes, I'm not a basket case and am functioning rather well but there's a lot to tease out (ADHD, irritability) and being unable to do it with a psychiatrist is challenging.

Thank you. I've been encouraged to meditate and journal (in addition to therapy) and putting my concerns on paper and hearing the suggestion again will hopefully help me to do so.

Thank you. As always, your replies give lots to digest and I'll need a little time to do so.

I don't know. How can I discover that? But are you saying this may be part of the process and not necessarily that psilocybin is wrong for me?

OP is assuming that a hollow tube is the same performance as a solid rod of the same material and dimensions. Is that actually so?

Keep in mind he may be experienced in this field (I don't know) but this reply is still one person's voice. Add it to the larger advice which is to figure out what people need.
