Just tried a microdose shroom gummy...

only 2.5 mg of lion's mane...suposed to help with brain fog and such.

We'll see if anything actually "happens"

Having my usual morning coffee and toast etc...

I guess I'll check back in an hour or so and report if I feel any different.

Has anyone here done the microdose thing??

1. I take 2G/day of lion's mane. It's supposed to help with mental clarity, memory, etc.

2.5 mg is a very small amount, so I don't know. (2G is 2000mg)

I take it at night, so I figured an am microdose won't cause a serotonin issue...

we can have all the beer or booze we want but State Legislature doesn't want us to have anything else. Of course I could always go to Oklahoma and get a "Jesus Shot" which our State AG Commissioner did, although it didn't help him at all - still the hillbilly redneck he was before.

I'm fortunate that my local farmers market sells fresh Lions mane and oyster mushrooms.
I made. a tincture out of dried turkey tail and lions mane. Long process with a dual extraction.. Took the tincture for a month or so... I did not notice any change..YMMV

12. What's very popular right now is LDN

Low Dose Naltrexone at 1 to 4.5 mg for feeling happier, for pain and for immune modulation. People on naltrexone for opiate abuse or alcohol abuse take 50mg plus but lots of positives for this drug in tiny amts.

Low Dose Naltrexone is basically methadone given in tiny amts. Thousands online in many LDN forums.

You need a prescription or can get one from an online dr. The low dose is only available in compounding pharmacies.

14. I'm going to just assume it's your usual morning toast that's generating the brain fog to begin with

Along with all the other gluten contaminated foods.


I already broke my intermittent fasting schedule today so I don't mind talking about food currently, but this won't last past 7pm EST
