Mushrooms - Where to Start??
-
Hi!
I've never tried mushrooms, but I am seeing all the hype about how Moms these days are turning to mushrooms instead of alcohol. Would love to hear others feedback, as well as where do I start?
Obviously, need a reliable source where to get them as well as the types. I don't want to hallucinate or anything!
Coming from a mama who's never dabbled in them and JUST curious!

Hi there! Yes, there are a lot of mom's using psychedelic mushrooms to manage mood & stress, or also as a replacement for alcohol. My experience is that 200 - 400 mg, which is considered a lighter dose, will make you feel lighter and happier... but it's not enough to make you hallucinate or "trip".
There are reputable companies that offer capsules with these doses.
You can also google the stamets stack to learn more about some well known microdosing protocols.

@Dawnedonme I've recently been hearing more about this. Either it's been picking up steam or I've been living under a rock and just surfacing. Both are possible and likely. I've heard about the retreats, does the microdosing help "rewire" brain pathways or is that just the larger doses?

@HotMessExpress I'm sorry I didn't see a notification for this and I forgot to reply!
Any amount of mushrooms whether micro or macro can help rewire the brain. Mushrooms are known for helping your brain's nuero plasticity. Check out fantastic funghi, it's really informative on this as well.

I’ve tried mushrooms several times and had a wonderful experience! No hangover either. I think they’re a great alternative to alcohol or even gummies if you don’t tolerate those well. A lot of research is happening around psychedelics and how they can help with everything from anxiety and depression to PTSD. There really shouldn’t be a stigma around them and hopefully they’re legalized soon!
