This is a poor study.

But, I have been microdosing over the past few years.

Happy to answer any questions.

Have you noticed any improvement in eyesight and general eye health?

What is the propensity for addiction - can you stop whenever you want to? When last did you stop and for how long?

Sorry for so many questions but this is not a trivial matter and you graciously offered to answer.

With what substance, and how often/how much?

Psilocybe cubensis - in particular, the "Golden Teacher" strain. It is native to the Americas, and cultivated in Vancouver. Received in full fruiting body form, ground in to powder for consistency of dosage. Initially, I started with .10g, up to .20g. Most of the dosing is between those values.

The schedule is 5 on, 2 off, and it's taken in conjunction with B3 (Niacin) and Lion's Mane (a non-psychoactive mushroom). All together, the mix promotes neurogenesis.

Combined with tools like meditation, exercise, and a supportive environment, it can do wonders to help re-construct toxic patterns built from long-term depressions and anxieties.

Might want to switch to a b complex. I heard a wives tale that b vitamins work in pairs and ramping up one can lead to a shortage in another. I don't even know how to research this for validity though.
