(Part 2) Top products from r/microdosing

Well think of it like this: You are literally taking amphetamines every single day. Your brain is used to it so your brain on amphetamine has become your new default.

I am too lazy to find the research right now but I encourage you to do the research for yourself. Simply eating a more healthy diet, cutting out processed food and especially sugar while also making sure to get things such as vitamin D and omega-3 has been shown to in many cases completely eliminate ADHD.

Exercise has also been proven to be extremely effective since it helps your brain naturally produce more dopamine.

Meditation also has an almost laughably long list of health benefits and it seriously can't be understated how much it can help you. I recommend the book The mind illuminated which teaches you step by step how to get the most out of and develop your meditation practice.

Now I haven't officially been diagnosed with ADHD but I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia and there is a huge overlap of people with schizophrenia who also has ADHD. On top of that I react very much like someone with ADHD reacts to stimulants. I have experimented with Methamphetamine and even on 30+mg with I still reacted by just being extremely calm instead of the usual manic energy rushes people normally experience.

What I am trying to say is that you can either tell yourself that you need the drugs (either microdosing or amphetamines) or you can start getting your life together and quit the drugs. I had done a lot of exercise, clean eating and meditation in the past but it wasn't until I actually started meditating and exercising for a total of 4+ hours every single day that I managed to get control of my mind. Now I can get away with only 30 mins a day to just maintain what I have already gained of control, but it does take some work to get to that point.

I wish you the best of luck in your journey.

Seconding the suggestion for 4-aco-dmt.

I've microdosed 4-aco-dmt for one year (off and on) and it works GREAT. Dosage is 100% controllable and consistent, physically feels clean, without side-effects. Being able to dose very accurately is an important part of microdosing -- adjusting up or down makes it easier to find the "sweet spot".

Here's what you need:

-- 60mg 4-aco-dmt or more

-- a scale accurate to 0.001g (should be $30 on Amazon)

-- a bottle of Propylene Glycol (an edible non-toxic liquid used in cough syrups and candies, less than $10 on Amazon)

-- a small (30ml) amber glass bottle with dropper (I reused a store-bought herbal tincture bottle from Herb Pharm -- looks totally innocuous when traveling -- something like this:https://www.amazon.com/Herb-Pharm-Certified-Organic-Echinacea-x/dp/B00028NR2I)

-- optional, but highly recommended: Amazon sells droppers that have milliliter markings on them. This way you can set dosages very accurately (www.amazon.com/Measured-Marked-Dropper-Boston-Bottles/dp/B01604GLRU/ref=sr_1_11)

​

Here's how to do it:

-- make sure your bottle is empty, clean and dry. Fill your bottle with propylene glycol -- not all the way to the very top, leave the neck empty -- this should be very close to 30ml.

-- CAREFULLY weigh out 60 milligrams of 4-aco-dmt: place cigarette paper or some similar smooth untextured piece of paper. "Tare" the scale (put the paper on scale before turning it on, so that it reads zero when fully on). Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to scoop exactly 60 milligrams onto paper. Be careful, precision matters.

-- CAREFULLY put 4-aco-dmt into bottle. Add marked dropper, close, and shake repeatedly. The 4-aco-dmt doesn't dissolve right away, it may take two days or so to dissolve fully. Leave it out and shake it a few times a day, until you don't see any solids in the liquid. (The liquid is active right away, but for consistency's sake, best to wait until fully dissolved.)

-- Store bottle in fridge, if possible. Shake before use! Best is to open bottle, drain stopper into bottle, re-close, then shake, then measure dosage.

​

Now you have a bottle of tincture with 2 milligrams of 4-aco-dmt in every milliliter. In the fridge, it should stay potent for 6 months or more.

You should start your mom on 0.5ml (half-dropper) every 4th day (that's 1mg 4-aco-dmt / dose). Adjust her dose up or down as needed. I microdose in the range 0.5mg (one-quarter dropper) up to 2mg (one full dropper), but usually 1mg (half-dropper) -- that's just what works for me.

I went to the video and found the brand on amazon

Host Defense - Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules, Natural Support for Mental Clarity, Focus, Memory, Cerebral and Nervous System Health, Non-GMO, Vegan, Organic, 60 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WJ2ALO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Ev3KDbP3CXHAN


but there is another brand named genius that has triple the amount of positive reviews and looks like it has two extra ingredients.

Genius Mushroom - Lions Mane, Cordyceps and Reishi - Immune System Booster & Nootropic Brain Supplement - Wellness Formula for Natural Energy, Stress Relief, Memory & Liver Support, 90 Veggie Pills https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078SJ9F5S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nD3KDb520NFSM

Do I stick with host defense in the vid or try this other more popular one?

Yeah, it can be difficult with gel. In that case I would-

• get some distilled water or vodka or both. Do not use tap water because it contains chlorine which can kill the LSD.
  
• Get a small bottle preferably an amber or dark colored or something that can block out light. (UV light can kill LSD as well.) Or if you can’t get one of those then you can wrap aluminum foil around a bottle to block out the light.
  
  Here are some amber bottles you can buy on Amazon with a measured dropper.- 3 Pack of 1oz Amber Glass Dropper Bottles (30mL) with Child Resistant Graduated Measurement Marked Glass Droppers::The Hemp Door LLC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SXJHKQH/
  
  If you don’t need a glass bottle but need a dropper you can get one of these.- Ezy Dose Straight Tip Glass Medicine Dropper (Calibrated) 1 mL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0071S5Y46/
  
  If you want to get a precise measurement of the water or vodka then get a measuring cup that has milliliter measurements. Something like these.- Pixnor Measuring Cylinder Graduated Cylinder Lab Test Tube Set of 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019W5T4CS/
  
  Depending on how much LSD you have in those gel tabs I would recommend trying 20-30ml. (Those amber glass bottles can only hold 30 ml.) You’ll maybe want to use this calculator. - https://www.microdosingcalculator.org/
  
  
• Take one of the gel tabs of LSD and cut it up in 2-4 pieces. I would recommend wearing gloves so the lsd doesn’t get into your skin.
  
  
• Put the pieces of LSD in the bottle and pour the 20-30ml of distilled water or vodka or a mix of both. To help the gel dissolve quicker use warmer water or vodka and let it sit for 1 day in room temperature but keep it out of the light.
  
  
• To be on the safe side try taking only 0.5ml for your first dose in the early morning and try it on a day off from any important obligations or responsibilities to see how you feel and how you react to it.
  
  You shouldn’t feel much. If you feel too spacey or jittery then that means you might have taken too much. Wait 2 days and try a lower dose. (1 day on, 2 days off) If you didn’t feel anything then maybe try a little more the next time like 1ml. If you feel too spacey or jittery then go lower the next time. You have to find your sweet spot that’s right for you, where you just feel an over all good feeling to your day.
  
  After you’ve found the dose that’s right for you then you can continue doing the 1 day on, 2 days off or maybe try every other day.

I would recommend mindfulness meditation, I find it synergizes quite well with microdosing, at the same time it goes deeper and is longer lasting

The absolute best book on the subject matter in my opinion is The Mind Illuminated, it reads like a college text book and the process is laid out nicely and is easy to follow.

I have found mindfulness to be an important tools in my life toolkit.

You must be reading my mind. After the first couple of experiences and some great insight I decided to run full time experiment with it. I even wrote a book about it - Small Magic ;)

I've been microdosing weed for over a year now. I'm not kidding, but it's the best tool in my writing toolkit. I also tried microdosing LSD for one month, just to have a comparison, and I have to say that I didn't offer anything beyond what cannabis could.

I'm promoting it now so it's only $0.99 :D

It will likely be either too potent or too weak, there's variance so it's best to grind them up into a uniform powder so the variance is equalized. Grab a cheap mortar and pestle off amazon I got mine for just 10 bucks, looking right now it's no longer available but skimming through something like this would work just fine https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M742974/ .

After grinding them up you can measure the powder if you want but if you don't want to buy a scale then using a 1/8th teaspoon measuring spoon is normally what I use which when full for me measures in around 0.2g.

I'd highly recommend buying a scale though, I use this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O37TDO/ which is only 8 bucks. The supplies to properly microdose are cheap if you try to find good deals. Do it right so you don't regret it!

Sorry to hear what you went through. If you are in to reading Stanislav Grof could be something to look in to.

In his”biography” - when the impossible happens, he describes several incidents with his wife Christina. He/they call the incidents spiritual emergencies. Which seems to be other words for psychotic breaks, but with less stigma.
Some happen with psychedelics others out of the blue.

They have written this book, which may interest you:

Thank you for sharing!

If you combine microdosing with some kind of therapy you can achieve more success. You don't have to go to a therapist, something like this would be very helpful in working thru your specific thought processes

https://www.amazon.com/Shyness-Social-Anxiety-Workbook-Step/dp/1626253404/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=social+anxiety+workbook&qid=1574263244&sr=8-3

This is the clinical trial it was used in

Nice I have the same scale. I use this to fill 00 caps: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJBFC6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

The smallest one has 00 caps fit perfectly around it on the outside of the funnel tip and holds itself there quite snugly so you can use both hands. Another option for those without 3D printers.

While looking at that book, I came across this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Mind-Consciousness-Transcendence/dp/1594204225

I've already started listening to it on audiobook and love it! (Reviews told me Dr. Fadiman's book is better written because if some of the technical sections).

Just as a sidenote, this stuff is the best way I've found to fix magnesium levels, and very cheap in this form. Dissolves in water like alka-seltzer and less than a quarter a dose.

Recommended book, "the art of meditation" by Matthieu Ricard ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Meditation-Matthieu-Ricard/dp/0857892746 ) and if you like it and if you want to go deeper: Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana https://www.amazon.com/Eight-Mindful-Steps-Happiness-Walking/dp/0861711769/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487182070&sr=8-3&keywords=bhante+gunaratana
and then directly the Pali Sutta(the teachings by Buddha himself) : https://suttacentral.net you may even reads it now but you maybe a bit confused if you don't read more easier text before :)

If there are other people in the house and you don't want to keep it in your fridge you could always buy one of those USB mini fridges to keep it in. Relatively easy to hide.

https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Mini-USB-Fridge-RED/dp/B003L4Z57K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1503380457&sr=8-4&keywords=usb+fridge

this is what I used

cheap as fr*ck

I self-published my first book.

Definitely ginger.

Ginger candy may not help if it doesnt actually contain ginger, but rather ginger flavor.
