Ah Glaukus, thank you for your wise counsel. Exactly the type of info I was after. My vine has gone bonkers and needs a definite cut back before it completely absorbs my guava.

Cool man! Interesting stuff!

Great! Yeah, all submissions are protected by parliamentary privilege, so you can't be prosecuted for anything you say. I know a few peeps around here who have presented to similar Inquiries, with no dramas, but with their voices heard

A bit of personal anecdotes from a participant in the Chronic Treatment-Resistant Depression about the benefits he received from his experiences with mushrooms in the clinical setting.

I have found them in November. Just depends on the rain bruz, but it is definitely possible

I think Fadiman's protocol is a good point of departure with microdosing mushrooms. I personal feel it is important to have a day or two between doses to enable a more conscious integration of subjective effects, particularly given effects may not be noticed until some time into a microdosing regime. It is also very important that users acknowledge the massive variations in potency between species of mushroom and adjust their dose accordingly. Still I would agree that LSD does offer a somewhat more accurate mode of microdosing as the dose can be a lot more easily calibrated for consistency as opposed to dried mushrooms.

Please dislike this on YouTube dear friends. Note the cops info, the narrative's tone, and whatsherface's comments and questions. Fucking disgraceful: This cop is out there policing someone's private property... of pine forests. I wish cops would come at my beck and call to patrol my property for intruders. Especially dangerous foragers of NON TOXIC mushrooms. This piece does nothing to reduce harm whatsoever, and serves to highlight the fucking ridiculous nature of our drug laws and how they play out in real terms in a cop's day to day duties. Saved some lives that day, not to mention solved some violent crimes too. I think they admit that this sort of policing takes them away from their core duties... Hazardous effects on the body - cops words. This man is not a scientist, nor is he morally superior to anyone else. I appreciate he has seen someone fucked up on mushrooms; not that pretty, particularly if they have no idea what they are doing (because of chronic lack of information) and if they are mentally ill, but shut the fuck up. You do not know what you are talking about. Do law enforcement, and leave the botanical science and research to those whose job it is to do so. I couldn't care less if you would prefer to go to DVs instead of picking someone up to look after them while they are tripping balls. Get a different job bruz. And ABC.. fark mate. Just don't. Gets my heart racing too much.

Bro: https://herbs-to-use.com/ Nambour mate. They've got heaps of stuff, mostly seedlings, but seeds as well

I think as soon as there is a diagnosis, regardless of stage. A while back I came across a talk by Paul Stamets espousing a particular cocktail for the neuro health: lion's mane, niacin and psilocybin mushrooms. Can't remember the amounts though.

Spring has sprung up here for sure. And you know what follows Spring... I reckon it's going to be a wet one too

I find it quite strange that in this forum of all places people are getting cut up about other long time members expressing their opinion that is different from the mainstream narrative. This whole fucking forum is outside of the mainstream narrative. What do you expect, and also why would you expect different? (not an opportunity to get all moral here) Express on I say. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and this place of all places should be able to tolerate divergent views, surely? We don't all have to agree, in fact, I think it is a good thing we don't, and at the end of the day we are all trying to figure out what is real and what is not. It isn't a competition. As the title of this subforum says "Chill".

Sally on a tear! How the fuck did you write all that drunk? +1 for drunk literacy skills bruz!

Again, I feel this would vary from individual to individual. For some a one-off micro might trigger some movement, but for others multiple micros, or even a low-range dose or two might get some movement. Again, I am not a medical professional, at all.

^ This. Like any route of administration, vapour needs to be gotten used to, just like smoke of any kind. It spins me out to hear people say that they can only smoke cannabis with tobacco That shit's sacrilege in some circles I hear... Of course the variety of vape products out there also require a period of adjustment. Another aspect to consider when vaping is also the quality of the material vaped.

I have heard, anecdotally, that psilocybin can be useful for parkinsons's and other neurodegenerative disease, particularly Multiple Systems Atrophy. Dose would be variable for each individual, and may be micro or threshold. I am not a doctor btw

Yes, I do. The whole process of extrapolating statistics from somewhere and overlaying them somewhere has got be some of the most fraught shit we do. As I say, underlying chronic illness/co-morbidity has got to be the number one cause for COVID fatality. If we have a generally healthier population then surely that has to count for something? Remember cases aren't synonymous with death.

You can't compare apples and oranges. Australia is not the US in many important ways, like the distinct difference in homelessness, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, a shit medical system, no social safety net, an opioid epidemic, and just the fucking huge size of their population and urban centres. That's apples. We are oranges. Lucky for sure, but the impacts are going to be decidedly different on a chronically ill populace with no medical infrastructure for them. What kind of outcome could be expected in the US, regardless of what they did? China faces similar issues, as do many of the other disaster stories out there.

Gotta say I've been spouting the same rhetoric around fatalities. Statistically insignificant in our country is a fucking understatement. Lockdown is a joke, and I have to agree that all I am seeing out there is a lot of government "You can't's" instead of "What is your will citizens?" Our will counts for nothing and the governments of the day seem to think it is their job to tell us what we can and can't do. That isn't their job at all; it is to action the will of the people. But you can't rally when there is a pandemic, can't protest your rights being taken away when the government says stay at home aye? Oh no, not more cases. They're cases, not deaths for fucks sake. QLD has a handful of deaths, a HANDFUL. Yet everyone better do as gov says or else. The fucking flu kills 3500 in this country per year on average, sometimes much more, sometimes much less. The mortality rate in OZ is ridiculously low, and no I don't want to go on the roundabout around how it would've been much worse blahblah because VIC is in lockdown again, has had the most deaths and they went in the hardest out of all states. Urge to revolt rising...

Someone publishes a book about harm reduction and psilocybin mushrooms in the back end of 2020. Some people read it.

RIP
