Which shrooms to start dosing for depression and anxiety

[Fishhunter]

Hey everyone
My wife is suffering from depression and anxiety pretty bad. I have had shrooms and top notch liquid LSD. Unfortunately my wife has never tried a hallucinogen. I not sure which strain would be best to try?
Any comments would be welcome.
I’m thinking something mellow for first time.

Let me add in our more seasoned mushroom folks

@CoyoteCody, @Caligurl

B+ hands down imo, not too much in the visuals or audibles department, but still a good mental reset. I grew a bunch of them, and it took more for me to get where I wanted to be, but that makes for a good beginning mushroom imo.

I agree with B+. They’re relatively easy to grow, produce big flushes, and are effective. I microdose for depression too. Check out the best psilocybin thread on the site.

Psilocybin Adventures

Hey all, so I know they we have a few people interested in this topic so I figured I would make a thread revolving around psilocybin cubensis and other magic and even the not so special kind of mushrooms if you are growing them. My last grow was alacabenzis, and they were pretty good, I learned a lot about the craft, and am still learning today. For my second round I will be attempting B+ in milo grain and horse manure. I will post pictures and stuff as soon as everything gets here. All are …

Can you recommend a reputable company where I might be able order some spores. . All in the name of research of course

Man i thought shooms make u have anxiety and that ,i didnt know that shooms were good medically

[CoyoteCody]

I used to be able to, but my source went to crap, there are a few listed in the cubensis thread.

[Caligurl]

B+ is good, for growing, Golden Teacher is a much more forgiving one to start with… it is more mold resistant than others. I also have had good luck with Elephant Dung. I bought mine from lilshopofspores, most want payment by bitcoin or you send cash, check or mo and when they receive it, it gets shipped…

For dosing

[Caligurl]

This is good as well. From what I read, it’s not micro-dosing that is helping but guided trips with a psychologist. I tried micro-dosing and just know that you can’t do 2 days in a row. I did M, W, F

And there are warnings out there about mixing certain anti-depressants with psilocybin. When you are ready, I have that in my journal here:

Caligurl's 2021 Mushroom Grow

First off, I’m growing these baby Portobellos So, my first grow didn’t go so well… I’ll explain later but I only ended up with about 1/4 ounce dried including the second flush. Next one gave me a tad over an ounce on the first flush and looked like this… of course I had more that I harvested intermittently… [IMG_5436] So, I guess, normally the second flush would produce less but here’s what it produced [IMG_5599] Up next, a grow start to finish… my journey of making my own spore s…

I always “mini-dose.” I take 0.5g every 3 days. At times it will ramp up my anxiety, but the depression relief is worth a few hours of anxiety on occasion.

If for depression therapy, a psychedelic dose with a guide/monitor is also a good way to go.

Nice chart @Caligurl
I get some PE chocolate mushrooms and had half a gram, my vision was so covered in geometric patterns that I couldn’t see 10ft in front of me…
So milage may verry lol

I am an lsd user monthly. Great reset.Shrooms never my thing but make sure you are there for her for sure starting out i would think. Took son on his first experience thanksgiving online. Military. He loved the stress relief. Did not want him alone first time. My sides are still sore from laughing. Good luck with this natural medicine. I refuse opiates or chemical antidepressants.

Ima jump on this shroom train.
My wife did her first micro dose on Wed. night.
.2grams every 45 mins. Stopping at .6 grams.
I have found that grinding up the entire cap/stem and making an even % powder works great.

Emily suffers from depression, anxiety and epilepsy. She has been on depression meds for 25 years. WTF! Happy to say she has been off everything, besides epilepsy meds., for over a month now.

After caltivation starts and we can get this on lockdown I have a good feeling she will be able to sleep threw the nights and not have any seizure once we learn more about this fantastic fungi

Happy growing…

This was a really good documentary. I suggest if you can watch it you should.

Fantastic Fungi, Official Film Trailer | Moving Art by Louie Schwartzberg

[Caligurl]

LOL! Not sure what it is but it takes me a lest 4 grams to feel a lot.

[Caligurl]

Yup! we watched it a while back.

[Flitme]

I am going to look into this more closely. My mother suffered with severe depression and anxiety for many years. She was on some nasty drugs and took her life because of it. This is a very real problem!!

[Caligurl]

Yes it is. The sad part is, MJ and psychedelics have been known for centuries of their healing properties, the Government doesn’t want to loose out on any kick backs from Big Pharma, after all you cannot patent any of these sacred plants.55

[Flitme]

If only I could have helped her that way. I know so many people who could benefit from this knowledge. Sad so many people have the idea that weed is the gateway drug. And mushrooms are Bad.
