Acid test: scientists show how LSD opens doors of perception

I was on Anti depressant (SSRI) and anxiety (Benzo) medication for more than 4 years. I switched to microdosing LSD and life could not have been better.

I use 10 microgram 1CP LSD(legal in Germany) at every 4 days interval. I don't feel any psychedelic effects but I feel more optimistic and motivated.

I have a very addictive personality and suffered from alcoholism and weed abuse in past. I was afraid that I might end up abusing LSD too, but to my dismay it helped in controling my toxic addictive behavior. For Ex :

- Reduced 4 cups of coffee to 1. - Stopped eating junk food. - No more binge watching TV series or anime. - Wasting hours and hours on social media and forums.

Bit it is not a silver bullet to all problem. Daily exercise and eating healthy helped a lot in my recovery

Legal as in you can buy it at the pharmacy? Or legal as in they will not persue the case if they catch you buying it from a dealer?

Not sure how it is in Germany, but in The Netherlands these 'legal' substances are being sold online and delivered via regular mail. They are not illegal because the law doesn't forbid selling them, but they will eventually do that (Like NL is working on making 3MMC illegal). This is mostly a cat and mouse game with the law and drugs.

Not from Pharmacy, but from shop.

In Berlin `lsd.shop` is run relative of Donald Trump. You can just walk in order it. :)

Same here. I'm hesitant to tell people though, because you never know what can go wrong, but I really believe there is immense utility in this class of drugs.

I smoked DMT on Christmas Eve 2020. I felt was though I was very close to the end of my rope when I tried it. Since then, I think I've made much progress in solving my mental health problems.

While that was a macrodose, I've started taking 200mg psylocibin a few days a week, and on those days, I'm in the best mood.
