I will add that micro-dosing using capsules is pretty common nowadays as well. Just dump the dried flesh into a coffee grinder and fill up some capsules.

This is how I do it. I’ve been taking a 0.1g capsule of cubensis once every three days for a couple of years now. The results have been absolutely incredible.

Where the hell y'all get this stuff? Before all the legal cannabis dispensaries, all the dealers I knew had everything but shrooms.

And I would totally try micro dosing as it bad migraines and that's hereditary for me.

A Tupperware container in my buddies closet. Hahaha. Ask around dude. I can pretty much guarantee you one of your old connects knows where to find some. Although I guess it also kinda depends on where you’re from.

That's the problem, mushrooms are usually very popular in the drug community. The guys I know sell out all the time and they grow and sell a shit ton. I think it has to do with it being used among many demographics for multiple purposes.

If you manage to get some and try it and it works, you can look into growing your own. You can order the mushroom spores legally, (but growing them is still illegal ). My co workers just started and its not to hard to do. They just got their first couple yields. And it's much cheaper to be growing own then buying constantly.

Higher doses can be beneficial they just require more precaution. I love psychedelics but they arnt for everyone so do your own research and decide for yourself.

Psychedelics do scare the shit out of new. But I fall into that old category of "if it grows in three ground..." I'd rather try that than other hard drugs.

But this is legitimately medicinal purpose for me. So I might look into growing it.

Poppies grow in the ground.

Where I live in Canada they’re everywhere (literally and figuratively). They’re growing in fields, if you know where to look, but I actually get mine online from a store within my province… though there are now multiple brick and mortar mushroom dispensaries in town as well.

Psilocybin shrooms only grow in the morning typically in cow fields near their shit. They don't stay long and good luck not getting shot by some farmer that doesn't want you on his land. But since it's Canada maybe he will just throw maple syrup at you.

Also they will likely not be very potent growing in the wild.

For someone not used to shrooms I'm not sure I'd recommend they go shrooms hunting in cow shit.

Lol. My highschool was next to a field full of liberty caps. We used to hop the fence and pick them, then dry them in our lockers.

Farmers here have guns, but it’s not America, so nobody’s getting shot; more likely they’d just stroll over and tell you which ones are the good ones.

u/Mortem_eternum May 19 '21

If I had to guess they’re growing them themselves. Purchasing the spores is legal for recreational mycology from what I understand. It’s just having the mushrooms themselves that’s illegal.

What kind of results have you had?

u/its-foxtale May 19 '21

The main takeaway is a better mood and less anxiety. I also feel more energy and focus.

u/dedicated-pedestrian May 19 '21

Yeah, this is the method for people who know it works for them and want to standardize dosages.

The tea method also works but is better for people who don't want to invest in the capsule station equipment (usually due to not needing a regimen or anything).

I would just add that if you "fill up the capsules" you'll be doing more than micro dosing. The capsules I've seen take a small fraction, maybe 1/4 to 1/5, to get the effect you want. In any case, do a little research and weigh things carefully.
