I thought that question was put to rest way back in the 60s.

Research is ongoing............... 😜😉😊

Coffee, as in 2-5 cups a day, has much the same effect on mood, and has proven anti-cancer effects as well.

Maybe I’ll try a micro-dose of psilocybin then. Personal possession is not illegal here. No idea where to get it, though, and I’d have to be absolutely positive it is genuine and uncontaminated.

[marktwain]

But, it has to be brewed coffee. Instant coffee showed zero anti-cancer effects.

It’s for the science, you know.

I did my research this weekend. Started on Friday night at Tolbert's in Grapevine. Music was provided by Texas Flood, a tribute band to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Four Shiner Bocks added to my great mood...I drank them over a 3+ hour period, no problem.

My research continued yesterday with a visit to Rock N Brews in The Colony. Naturally, the Texas Flood Margarita caught my eye, and really put me in a good mood. After the second, I gave the car keys to my wife.

Don't know about my mental health, but my mood was greatly improved.

They didn’t do microdosing in the ‘60s. They did trips.

I have no idea either, I would suggest look at a few local health/vegan food stores.

Most of them carry CBD oil which I’ve used in the past and believe it worked for me.

Another “Duh!” study.

[Chickensoup]

Many many people are microdosing or using full dose psilocybin for mood management.

Seems to work well in certain subgroups.

I expect ongoing research to be very positive.

It will be nice to have another option besides spring. Ssnis

The Temptations sang about it in 1970 in
Psychedelic Shack:
....
Psychedelic shack, that’s where it’s at, yeah, oh yeah

There ain’t no such a thing as time
Incense in the air, peace signs painted everywhere
I guarantee you this place will blow your mind

They got a cat there shoutin’ the blues, talkin’ ‘bout payin’ some dues
People walkin’ round reciting poetry, yeah
Screaming guitars and a thousand colored lights
People, I’m telling you this place is really out of sight

The pastures in and around Baton Rouge were loaded with them after a rain. They were legal and were like caffeine to me. No high, though.

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream,
It is not dying, it is not dying.

[frank ballenger]

You’re excused.

[Red Badger]

No idea where to get it, though.....
