I would like to take an alternate view of others, but let me start by saying I’ve done shrooms and I enjoy them and I think they should be legal.
However, the ads selling things like mushroom gummies I have seen on social media are both deceptive about what they can do and are not in any way clear what they mean by ‘microdosing.’ And that’s why my brother went from microdosing to taking massive amounts in the course of a month, claiming it was good for his psychology, and writing that he told his wife to watch him the first time, but she fell asleep and he was fine and now he doesn’t need anyone.
My brother is in his 50s and has no experience with such things. He doesn’t even like weed.
So I do not think this is necessarily a good thing. It could be a good thing if this sort of thing was done under the supervision of a medical professional, but they are selling them via Facebook ads.
Worse, they are also selling ketamine via Facebook ads and also touting its psychological benefits. Again, getting mentally ill people ketamine could be a good thing if done under medical supervision. That’s not happening either.
If you want to do shrooms or even ketamine recreationally, I think that should be your right. But this is like selling people random amounts of lithium and telling them about all the great stuff lithium can do for you.
I appreciate the offer, but not only am I his little brother, I’m his little brother by 11 years (I was planned, really). He doesn’t listen to any advice I give him on anything because as far as he’s concerned, I’m still the 5-year-old he left when he went to college. He has a lot of… shall we say interesting ideas about how the universe works lately. It’s not just the gummies, but they haven’t helped.
And I’m not exactly shocked that they aren’t psilocybin. I knew there was some sort of catch here or they wouldn’t be allowed to sell them, but I thought it was one of those legal delta 8 THC vs. illegal natural cannabis things like they have here in Indiana. Some sort of “we made it in a lab, therefore it isn’t the illegal thing” loophole. This makes more sense though.
However, if you can explain to me why everyone I know goes out in the woods and finds baskets full of morels in the spring and not only have I never had the chance to eat one, I’ve never even seen one growing, feel free. They can’t.
That is really interesting! Thank you for all the information! This is a lot more advice than they’ve ever given. I wonder if it’s sort of instinctive on their part since they’ve been doing it since they were kids?
That does make sense, although I use cannabis medicinally and at this point, it mostly just works as a pain modifier. I basically don’t feel high anymore unless I use a ton of the stuff.
What I really need to do is convince someone to take me with them next year.
