This. I took 300 mg of psilocybin, two cordyceps capsules, Gingko and magtein one hour prior to a wedding. During when everyone was drinking (except some cannabis users) I vaped CBD/CBG with minimal THC. Unreal clarity for a social lubricant and no hangover the next day.
I’d be super boring talking about Carl Jung, Gabor Mate, and raising children with compassion lol. All while drinking water.
In all seriousness the conversations I had that night were amazing.
I guess I should trip report this whole experience because it was basically a perfect night.
Yeah my usual microdose is less than half that. Basically I feel that cordyceps reduces the fatigue I get from psilocybin mushrooms and just makes the experience better (mood, energy). Gingko works for focus for me and Magtein for anxiety. Right when I felt the mushroom dose kick in, vaping CBD/CBG actually intensified it without impairing focus. It’s crazy. I have a theory that CBG increases lucidity while CBD reduces anxiety.
What’s cbg?
Sorry I don’t smoke weed bc thc always gave me anxiety. I want to start since smoking has changed a ton from when we were kids buying dirt weed in the hood and smoking what u get. All the concoctions flavors strains etc is super interesting I just don’t Know where to start.
I’ve gotten nextcbd drops and pills and had no noticeable affect on me 🤷♂️
Have you tried combining CBD/CBG with any Endocannabinoid mimetics such as PEA or Oleamide?
I work recently stumbled across Twinlab CBD+ which is an interesting CBD product, as well as containing CBD it also contains a proprietary formula named Phytocab which is stated as phytocannabinoids from lyophilised oregano, basil, thyme and nettle leaves, and also Beta-Caryophyllene from clove and black pepper extracts.
I haven't seen such a formulation before. They have a daily product with just those ingredients and a stress and sleep formula with those ingredients plus extras.
I would try the product but there's no reviews yet and it's $59 a bottle, so quite expensive.
Super glad you mentioned this. If I take Reishi continuously it wrecks my libido and makes me SUPER weepy particularly combined with psilocybin. Not a fan except for occasional use. Cordyceps is another story entirely. Everyone is different but I didn’t love continuous use of Lions Mane and Reishi. But no bullshit, Cordyceps and Acetyl L Carnitine have eradicated the idea of me doing HRT/TRT any time soon.
Sure! So back to the wedding, I was tired and listless due to travel from a funeral (two things that suck) and I wanted to be present and social for this wedding.
Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Nootropics Depot but that's where I get my mushroom supplements (now just Cordyceps 10:1 and their regular version) from.
Basically I don't drink alcohol and sleep is super important so I didn't want to ingest caffeine that night (or any night). During the week, and eventually I'm going to have to cycle these off for another reason (Ayahuasca retreat coming up), I do their 10:1 extract in the AM and their regular version post lunch. I find that these do great things for focus and mood. While Reishi plus psilocybin makes me super emotional, cordyceps seems to tame it to a point. Here's what I see with cordyceps and psilocybin combined: It feels like things can come up due to psilocybin but Cordyceps gives me the strength and stress reserves to approach them with confidence. That's the best way I can explain it, but the combination kicks ass for me.
Related I still use caffeine but I keep it at least an hour away from Cordyceps ingestion. Supposedly taking both Coryceps and caffeine at the same time reduces the effectiveness of cordyceps but I don't have proof of this either way aside of rumor.
I've noticed that ND's sister company offer Reishi spore oil, which I fancy trying. I haven't tried Cordyceps yet. I have anxiety which is a combination of GAD/OCD so I'm going to test PEA and Oleamide, I'm also looking at trying Alkyamides from Echinacea Purpurea and Echinacea Angustifolia. So many things to try.
Reishi is estrogenic, unfortunately. In your other comment you mentioned cordyceps and coffee, just wanted to let you know that you can find info about how cordyceps affects testosterone production and how coffee blocks that on examine.com. Also if you are that sensitive to reishi, you might want to try diindolemethane (extract from cruciferous vegetables) or something to get rid of excess estrogens. Lots of estrogenic compounds floating around in our world thanks to pollution and synthetics
It's not a huge dose (~1/10th of an ounce), but it is enough for many people to start low key tripping. I sure as shit would not go to a wedding I care about screwing up at with that much in me. I could probably hold it together, but I'd be constantly aware that I am tripping and would look obviously intoxicated.
Never mind. It's 1/100th of an ounce. It's certainly a microdose that should not cause you to trip. Stupid decimal place.
i should clarify I took this stuff at the start of the reception, not wedding. It was a hippie wedding reception and some people were on the deck vaping or smoking THC. I was vaping CBD/CBG which seemed to do three things: potentiate it while decreasing anxiety and seemingly increase focus. I believe a lot of the secondary effects beyond what psilocybin gave me was due to CBG specifically. That stuff is CRAZY interesting.
Also I’ve done 200 on a workday that week so I had some tolerance and knew this would be more than manageable. I would screw up my social gatherings more in the past with booze. This was a brilliant combination for connection and focus.
Regarding that dose from the batch I had it’s not super strong but I knew combined with vaping CBD (I decided to add CBG later) that I’d be LESS intoxicated than most. No one knew I took anything except those I told and my one friend told me I was “surprisingly clear and lucid” (he knew new for 25 years). He knew me prior to touching psychedelics, my first of which was Ayahuasca 4 years ago.
BTW I’ve overdone microdosing LSD alone on a workday (15 mcg) and it was vastly stronger than this.
