#2I've been microdosing psilocybin daily for the past six months during quarantine as a bit of a cognitive experiment. I feel a lot more switched on and focused in my work. Reading these posts I wonder what other diseases such as Parkinson's, seizures, PTSD, depression, anxiety have yet to be studied and require more research. Can anyone speak to this? Anything else I should add to my stack?

You lost your causation vs correlation sense though :)

Nice to have such a steady access to psilocybin. Why not LSD, by the way?

Made me laugh.

Isn't the tolerance to LSD built way too fast for daily (micro)usage over half a year?

Not sure what other people are using, but I've worked up to about 64mcg/day.

#9I'm sorry but this is just hippy nonsense. It's not the lack of mental integration into nature that is stopping us from taking care of the enverionment. And you don't need to trip on mushrooms to see the filth all arround us.
The real issues include: not being able to stop production and consumption for obvious reasons. Energy production and distribution logistics. Understanding natural ecosystems and setting priorities on how to protect them. Sharing the world with neighbours that can outcompete you because they don't pay the high costs of clean industry. And many more real hard problems, not just a state of mind.
tldr: this article is the equivalent of "why can't we all just get along" plan for world peace.
