This thread found me at the perfect time I swear. A friend of mine just gave me a huge amount of shrooms. I've always been excited about microdosing, so I tried my first .4 grams the other day and felt a great layer of good vibes that day. I was going to increase the dose, knowing it's not really microdosing and figuring I could do this on a regular basis. I'm now taking this thread as a sign to slow my roll.

For what it's worth, from my understanding, you've got a lot of room before that even hits what's considered a "normal" recreational dose -- which I think is around 3.5g of dried psilocybin. Broadly speaking, if you don't have a history of bipolar / schizophrenia, it sounds like you'd be pretty safe from lasting consequences. Separately, "bad trips" mostly seem to happen when you go towards higher than normal doses, as you lose conscious control of your thoughts...

I've had a bad trip once where I took too much, but I realize it was because of the amount I took. Do you microdose daily?

I don't, sorry. I know people who do, but I don't have direct personal experience with doing so. None of them had any negative outcomes from it with occasional larger doses, but as far as I know none of them went too extreme on those doses.

over a year ago, on this platform, you were praising how amazing elon was. do you still think so?

Dude, you're obsessed with Elon. Give it a break.

elon is a massive problem. people need to know.

The guy who did the most to transition the world to EVs, created a global internet satellite network, and gave us reusable rockets is a massive problem.

And what have you done for us?
