I’ve got some anecdotal evidence that it fully and completely cured my road rage. I’ve been 5 years without a gut wrenching anger when I get cut off or when someone without self awareness whips their car out in front of me.

Also I don’t blame myself for my parents decade long divorce that made them both very very poor. Bonus.

I can see that, it supposedly builds new synaptic connections. For myself somebody pointed out if your are walking and an old person is walking slow in front of you, or a person turns and bumps into you unaware, you don't swear and yell and try to hit them, we move out of their way and apologize to each other---why should being in a car change decency. And that was enough to trigger a new thinking pattern for me.

This is science you can test yourself 😏

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Stan says she tried different therapies but nothing really helped until she found magic mushrooms β€” which are illegal to produce, possess and sell in Canada without special permission.

Stan's experience with microdosing psilocybin is a powerful anecdotal story, but what does the science say about the practice as a potential mental health treatment?

Once a week they either get a microdose of psilocybin or a placebo, and then Petranker and his team put them through a series of tests to determine if they experience an improvement in their mood.

Zeina Beidas, the lead research assistant, says microdosing is so trendy right now that many people in the general public simply believe it works.

Anecdotally, I see young people in particular coming in after using powerful hallucinogenic drugs like psilocybin, and leading to really, really negative mental health outcomes, like even a psychotic episode."

Andrina Stan, who graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of Toronto, continues to use psilocybin, but she urges others thinking of microdosing to do it safely.


The original article contains 1,403 words, the summary contains 173 words. Saved 88%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

DXM is also an interesting hard reset

Have you got more details on that? I wouldn't classify it as a hard reset but I never did the crazy high doses.

I'm speaking more personally/anecdotally but it can really shift things around from a high 2nd plateau - 4th on. I haven't done a 4th plateau cuz it scares the fuck out of me but there you have it

Edit: there seems to be a lot of work being done(+ its very in vogue right now/fashionable) to use ketamine to treat depression. Ketamine is also an anaesthetic and NMDA-antagonist at supra-therapeutic doses...
