It's now being offered in my city so I'm curious if anyone has any experience with it.

It would be nice to not need to take a medicine every day that raises my heart rate and makes me sweat like a pig if it's above 75 degrees outside.

Mushrooms helped me, the effects seemed to last for a couple of months.
I will vouch for this guy vouching for mushrooms.

One "trip" can really help you sort your mind out and reassess priorities, and trim the fat from your life and mindset.

I don't know anything about ketamine except people that can get it.

Please be careful. Get a couple medical opinions if you can. Jordan Peterson just opened up about this on a podcast with his daughter. Dude almost died trying to get off benzos.

For a man in his profession to not have read about benzos is ridiculous, I know he can’t prescribe medication but he should at least have a basic understanding of how they can affect people, as a clinician.

Pretty damn stupid.

can't hurt to try IMO

If we are talking benzos then be very careful if getting off of them, them shits are powerful
Saw the withdrawals last year with a loved one, wasn't fun for either of us.

Even worse is he was promoting them just before he got addicted to them. Can't fault the guy though. I can't imagine the stress of being told your wife will be dead in less than a year and there's nothing that will save her.

And no benzos. I have a script for something in case I'm having an anxiety crisis but never take them.

I should probably mention that they're being offered by Drs in clinics for PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc. It's on the up and up I just can't seem to tell much about it's efficacy from what I've read so I was hoping for some anecdotal info to go along with it.

That's good to hear.

I feel those are very dangerous to mental health and can potentially change a person indefinitely even when they get off of them.

Sounds all hippy dippy but you could also consider looking into wim hoff breathing exercises and control, I know people who mastered their breathing and conquered their anxiety. I think tang @Vagabond knows about Wim Hoff stuff.

PS mushrooms are being legalized in OR for anxiety and PTSD treatment, lots of data backs their effectiveness.

Tried the breathing techniques, Wim Hof and others, and it's great for bringing me down or making sure that I don't get too worked up before a big event that would normally cause stress... Does nothing for me as far as prevention goes.

Handy tool to have in the shed but it's not the one I'm looking for at the moment.

Yep. I'm hoping that will spread.

I'd happily go that route but I don't have any of my sketchy connections out here anymore hahaha

So here's the cool thing about mushrooms...The spores are 100% legal to purchase (In most states), as are the grow bags. Just something to think about

Yep. I've looked into it. Don't have a good place to do it. I mean I do but not really.


PS. Once upon a time someone here wrote up a very thorough step by step instruction guide for such activities.

It may have been on JRE, but Neil Brennan did multiple rounds of Ketamine therapy for his chronic depression. According to him it was a total game changer.

I’ve never done it, but they offer that treatment in Austin. I have one buddy that did it here (5 sessions I think) and he also said it helped tremendously.

No first hand experience, but sounds like it’s worth checking out at least

I was around for that and I think growing at the same time, allegedly.

Super commonly used in surgeries. Powerful analgesic with sedation effect as well.
Yes

My brother is an anesthesiologist.

He’s always bragging about doping people up.

I asked him about this.

He called his psychiatrist friend. He said “BE CAREFUL”

Awesome
your a wild man Boots

I would watch more of that stuff haha
I wasn’t actually tripping there lol. Guns are locked in the safe when adult party favors are in the house. My neighbor ate a shit ton last night and wanted to make a TikTok about depression, acid, and video games and literally spent 5 hours trying to make a 60 second video. I sent him that video and he replied Hunter S. Thompson would be “hella proud” ?

SuperPig @Willthiswork please keep us posted on whether you pursue that treatment option or not. Also, know that you have many people here who care about you and can relate to battling depression and anxiety (including me) so don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need to connect.

No judgement here my man, I know you practice gun safety

The music and your eyes made it seem like a trip was going on, maybe you just have dark eyes that impersonate blown out pupils like shrooms induce...my lady has permanent huge pupils for whatever reason, people always think she is tripping
Good production value
I enjoyed that short clip
