Low doses may also prevent Alzheimers from progressing.[1][2] Ayahuasca/DMT[3] and psilocybin[4] may have similar effects.<p>It's fascinating that a monthly visit to your local shaman may still be more safe and effective for depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline than anything western medicine has been able to produce.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/abbierosner/2020/02/21/microdosed-lsd-may-finally-be-the-breakthrough-for-alzheimers-disease/#6925566b53a8" rel="nofollow">https://www.forbes.com/sites/abbierosner/2020/02/21/microdos...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6463489/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6463489/</a><p>[3] <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6343205/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6343205/</a><p>[4] <a href="https://www.beingpatient.com/could-psychedelics-help-treat-alzheimers/" rel="nofollow">https://www.beingpatient.com/could-psychedelics-help-treat-a...</a>
For me, I don't believe I really ever saw anything that was different than reality, but the attention to my senses was heightened. It was a new curiosity about everything I saw or heard. if you wave your hand in front of your face there's a trail behind it. This sort of thing is heightened. I remember going to a racquetball court and it seems like they were many balls in the court when there actually there was only one. I went on top of a mountain and looked down at the trees below and it was almost like the trees were vibrating with life. I remember the sound of super Mario jumping giving me the giggles because the sound was completely different and interesting and it reverberated through the room. So there is a certain curiosity that is derived from the senses. That was my experience
For anybody looking to try psychedelics without the sketchiness of finding a dealer or buying online, you should know that you can discretely grow psilocybin mushrooms in your home for less than a hundred dollars initial investment, and with very little effort. It's legal to buy the spores in most states, and it only takes a couple of months to grow a nice canopy.<p>The best guide is <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/unclebens/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/unclebens/</a> or <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/8e7g6n/how_to_grow_bulk_without_a_pc_or_brf_cakes_broke/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/8e7g6n/how_to_grow...</a>.
