Doing another little #bioassay with a big baddie today. IMHO this infamously intimidating 🍄 strain is just misunderstood (and often misdosed), but with a light enough touch, even it can be wrangled into a workable #microdose. #MagicMushroomStrainSelection #PsychedelicResearch #WomenInPsychedelics #StrainSelection #ShroomChooser #WorkJournal #MicrodoseStrainSelection #StrainChoiceMatters #psilocybin #PsilocybeCubensis
Going back to something that initiated my #CitizenScience #PsychedelicResearchStudy - specifically 28:37 in this video, where #PaulStamets talks about the different sizes of #MagicMushroomMicrodose he and #JamesFadiman were using in their protocols. Very excited to potentially be able to talk about this as it pertains to my #StrainSelection study w/ Paul himself at the #SpiritPlantMedicineConference at my alma mater UBC next week. #PsychedelicWellness #SPMC2023 🍄 🌱⚕️ 🔜 https://youtu.be/6EjM3_8AL4Y?si=dEWYGh0gbYMqt5U7&t=1717

Results are still trickling in for my ad hoc, self-funded #PsychedelicResearchStudy & I clap my gleeful little hands whenever I see my volunteers using the same adjectives to describe a #MagicMushroomStrain that I've already written in my private notes. I'm no scientist, but these moments of validation tell me 🍄
#StrainSelection does indeed matter at the #Microdose level, especially for #HarmReduction. #ShroomChooser #WorkJournal #WomenInPsychedelics #MushroomMonday #MicrodoseStrainSelection
Ohhh, that was nice. A perfect little nap-assistant. Some strains keep your mind involved & don't let you completely relax, but at the wee dose size I took (0.3g), this was way more effective than hot milk (lactose-free, too), & let me have a splendid little trip back to the land of nod for an hour w/o keeping me there. Insomniacs will agree: nap-friendly microdoses are a precious find for our #MentalWellnessToolkit & we must cherish them. #StrainSelection #Psilocybin #PsychedelicResearchStudy
Starting to see the things I'd hoped to see in the initial data coming from the first responses to my #PsychedelicResearchStudy. It might take a while to get there, but my project testing the potency & effects of a dozen different #MagicMushroom strains at #microdose level is going in the right direction, and already my main thesis - that not all #Microdoses are created equal, and that #StrainSelection matters! - has been abundantly proven. #PsychedelicWellness #ShroomChooser #WorkJournal
