Trained service dogs could be great in a psychedelic therapeutic setting, imo.

Psychedelics for pets is abuse. No to any bonds.

Thank you very much for providing the MUST-READ link to the VERY IMPORTANT article by the medical trainee who had a psilocybin trip that triggered "months of mania and psychosis"!

Thank you very much also for the important link to the article by Jules Evans about Decriminalize Nature, which was co-founded in Oakland by Carlos Plazola. (Plazola made the hideously dishonest claim in 2021 that there were "...no reports of anyone ‘taking mushrooms and doing something stupid’"...}

A microdose of LSD weighs 5 micrograms.

A megadose of mushrooms, which always contains a mix of various substances, weighs 5 grams, which is 5 million micrograms.

A megadose of mushrooms, which always contains a mix of various substances, WEIGHS ONE MILLION TIMES MORE than a microdose of LSD, which contains only one substance.

(The average marijuana cigarette weighs 1 gram. One million average marijuana cigarettes weigh 1000 kilograms [2,200 pounds]. IT IS ABOUT SCALE: The difference between what a microdose of LSD weighs and what a megadose of psilocybin mushrooms weighs is the same as the difference between a single marijuana cigarette and a pile of marijuana that weighs more than a ton!)

(It is clearly undeniable that LSD is a MUCH, MUCH SAFER substance than psilocybin mushrooms. Although there is absolutely no doubt that LSD can also trigger "months of mania and psychosis".)

What seems to be happening is that there are a lot of greedy people pushing mushrooms. The mushroom market is flooded because these pushers can so easily grow them. (It requires a sophisticated lab and a good chemist to synthesize LSD, something that pushers in Oakland do not have.) These profit-motivated mushroom-pushers are competing with LSD in the psychedelic marketplace, and thus are strongly motivated to say and/or imply really, really stupid things like "LSD is a CHEMICAL! Mushrooms are better because they are ORGANIC!"

Again, much thanks for posting the links. I sincerely apologize for making so many comments here, but the link to the critically IMPORTANT article by the medical trainee about his negative psilocybin trip compels me to urge ALL of the people reading The Microdose to study and share with EVERYONE they know what the medical trainee has written.

The Canadian police don’t have enough real crime to worry about, so they’re harassing entrepreneurs. Very Canada.
