It was a good fall in the SF bay area for mushrooms in general and I got lucky with a collection of psilocybians to the tune of about 30 grams dried. I've been experimenting with daily very low, sub-threshold doses and have been very happy with the results. This batch produces a gentle trip with 1.5 to 2 grams so I'm guessing it is about 1% active alkaloids. (10mg / 1g material). I've been consuming 100mg of the dried shrooms at noon, two days on, one day off, for about a month. I'm thinking this is maybe 1mg of alkaloids. I'm finding the effects to be very tonic. I feel sharper, can focus on tasks better, I'm getting more done, more relaxed and open with people, mood improved - more optimistic, sleeping better, feeling fit and energetic (including sexual energy, big plus for a 65 year old).
Is this a placebo effect? I don't think so, the results are noticible and delightful. Has anyone else tried this? I know not many have access to enough shrooms to be taking them a little at a time like this, but if you do I highly recommend it. I've read about benefits of microdosing LSD so it's not surprising that these tryptamines produce similar results. I'd be interested to hear of similar experiences.
