Clinic investigates magic mushrooms
It must be interesting working for the magic mushroom clinic. Everyone I know online who’s doing mushroom microdosing is in California. No idea who’s branché here.

There’s been a lot of psychology/therapy-related research into magic mushrooms and other entheogens recently. I think they can be psychologically beneficial.
Microdosing is not the same thing as taking enough of the drug to feel the effects.

I guess not. I’ve heard microdosing feels like an extra twinkle of creativity at the edge of the mind. Might be nice, but I don’t trust myself, the way I chop up garlic in the kitchen.

Kate – you might be hanging that out for dupes like me to respond to- but, how did psilocybin as an adjunct to psychotherapy segue to chopping garlic? – I also chop garlic, I need to understand

I don’t have a light hand with garlic, or hot peppers, or other culinary flavouring elements. I would probably not so much microdose, as dose.

@Kate You say that like it’s a bad thing.

dwgs, depends what else you need to do that day.

Good point. Also, I too cook like a peasant, it’s way more fun.

Don’t have time to dig further to find out what Health Canada newly allowed here but they forced Gabor Maté to stop using DMT in his psychoterapy practice (The Star, nov 2011). Harper days?
NB: G. Maté is a treasure: watch his talks and interviews on YT.

Thanks for the clarification!

With legal cannabis not causing society to come crashing down as some feared, I hope psychedelic research takes off and their therapeutic use starts to become more normalized.
One of the episodes of the (very interesting) Netflix documentary The Business of Drugs is about this topic.
