these threads would seem to suggest they aren't the end all be all. i've dosed 100ug of lsd and 20mg of 4acodmt (shrooms) a few times. I've had minor experiences with dmt and am trying to work up the courage to do a breakthrough. Getting more 4aco as well. I remember having quite positive feelings after my 4acodmt trip but they were gone the next morning. I also hacked off like a foot and a half of some cactus at work thinking it was san pedro but I'm not sure it is heh.

there's a ton of positive press on microdosing psychedelics for depression in the past two years.
Real stuff, not in High Times.

I always referred to LSD as a perspective enhancer.
Every single time it has caused me to look at things in my life differently, and be honest with myself on the things I cannot change.

It's definitely not a cure all, but it's given me more relief from depression than any type of prescription medication.

Hopefully some day laws are changed because I honestly believe LSD in conjunction with therapy could help tons of people.

I had excellent results with microdosing shrooms until I built up a tolerance to them (a problem I have with pretty much any substance).

This is my source of info, and I recommend it highly: https://thethirdwave.co/

Good news if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area:

I've heard all kinds of positive things about them but it's just hearsay. So not sure if it is true or not. And I'd rather not turn myself into a guinea pig. Most people I've encountered who are into that kind of stuff seemed very rational though so there is a good chance, there aren't any negative effects. Plus, I don't have problem with depression because there are some very effective medication out there, capable of treating depression. I just have a problem with life, mostly. The pharmaceutical companies release a bunch of drugs that will probably destroy your body sooner or later but they do fucking work.
