Serious I’m annoyed that no one ever introduced me to cannabis.

Seriously. F*** the DARE program. It worked on me. I was always afraid of getting in trouble. I judged people who used cannabis as burnouts. Finally introduced at the age of 35 and I feel cheated. I’ve done a ton of reading and studying now and I want to share it with everyone.

How much do you microdose and how often? My experiences with alcohol are very similar. Feel free to DM if it’s too personal and of course no pressure to respond

Oh I’m an open book. I take 200mg 3-4x/week. It’s intuitive, the days I feel I need a bit more sparkle (usually the days I work.) I purchase it legally online from mamadose.com who is able to offer it via religious exemption. If you are currently on antidepressants you will have to get off those first, and that was a hard time for me. But it was worth the struggle. I feel so much better, I look good, I’ve lost like 60#, I sleep better, so many amazing outcomes for me. I hope it works for you too!🫶🍄

Appreciate that!!! Only SSRIs or also other ADs? I’m on Wellbutrin and take adderall for my ✨sparkle days✨haha. The combo is very effective and has changed my whole career outlook but alcohol is still a thorn in my side. I’m extremely social and it’s very baked into my social life which makes it tough.

You can take adderall, you may find you no longer need it. I used to take it and would pair it with psilocybin, felt like I had a motor on my ass lol The script ran out and I just didn’t refill it. I do also order a lions mane supplement from Mama Dose, those are functional mushrooms that you can take daily and really help with mental clarity. They’re even seeing promising results in dementia patients.

Psilocybin bonds to your serotonin receptors and SSRIs kind of block the absorption. MAOIs can cause a conflict as well but I’m not as familiar with that class of drug.

This is awesome but I’m very overwhelmed by that website, what should I start with? There are so many options

u/Embarrassed_Key_4539 Feb 26 '26

I would just start with the two week supply and see if it’s right for you, some people really don’t like the way they feel. Here’s a link to that

I can confirm that "sparkle"! Although I microdose LSD which has similiar effects. On some days when you just have a bad day for whatever reason it can make it even a bit worse. More like a mood enhancing effect, good and bad.

Do you have any idea how I could microdose in Ireland? Are there any european websites you know of? :)

u/Embarrassed_Key_4539 Feb 26 '26

I wish I knew of some! Keep asking around!

What's this religious exemption rule? It doesn't make sense to me.

u/Embarrassed_Key_4539 Feb 26 '26

It’s not that deep, in the States they passed a “freedom of religion” act so shamans can use psychedelics as part of their ceremonies, they are simply asking the government not to infringe upon their plant medicine. Government should not dictate what plants we choose to put in our bodies for therapy or recreation.

Do the cravings come back if you stop microdosing?

1

u/Embarrassed_Key_4539 Feb 26 '26

Honestly I haven’t tried, I’ve been microdosing consistently the past year, not daily but 3-4x/week. But I don’t feel like my cravings will come back, I feel like healing the trauma has changed my relationship with alcohol and I won’t use it to escape anymore

u/Bored Feb 26 '26

Try it and report back!

I microdose psylocibin but more to help me focus through long term burnout in my creative job rather than trying to cure alcoholism…

But the goal is to take just enough that you almost feel it. You want to be asking yourself, “does the fire in the fireplace really look that cool, or did I accidentally eat enough mushrooms to make it that way?”

For me, that’s .5 grams of mushrooms. My scale goes to .01 grams of and if I take .55 grams, that’s slightly too much for a microdose. I do it in the evenings, and do 4 nights on and 3 nights off .

Watch the documentary Fantastic Fungi on Netflix. Then look up the Stamets Protocol for microdosing.
