Yes, you’ve read that correctly. I’m going to be taking microdoses of psilocybin, a.k.a magic mushrooms, during the whole month of February as an experiment. Before I get into the why and the how let me explain to you what those experiments are all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve decided to become a human guinea pig. That doesn’t mean I will do anything or crazy stupid things, but I will be experimenting new things. Those experiments are a way for me to implement some of the things I’ve read or simply see how I can improve my health and well-being. I’m just curious and questioning if what we’re doing should be the norm or not. We accept things as they are, because we’ve grown into them, but are we really optimizing our health and well-being by living our lifestyle? What if there are ways to live a better life. A more meaningful one. If I stumble upon the happiness pill, I’ll let you know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most experiments will last one month and I’ll keep a daily log that I’ll share at the end of the experiment. I have quite a few ideas to test and I’m quite excited to start this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now to the mushrooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I may sound crazy to you as you may think that mushrooms are reserved to the hippies or the junkies, but there’s a ton of new studies coming out on the benefits of psychedelics. And ever since I’ve done my Ayahuasca ceremony<\/a>, it’s like I’ve entered a new world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my short 32 years of life I’ve tested quite a lot of drugs. Starting with the obvious alcohol and weed to the ‘more extreme’ ecstasy and cocaine. I’ve put ‘more extreme’ in quotation mark as the dangerous nature of drugs and the perception we have is often influenced by the media and the laws. The reality, in my opinion, is very different. I believe that alcohol is probably one of the most dangerous of them. And I have some studies to back me up…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
