As a cancer survivor, I can confirm the absolutely amazing, life-changing effect that psilocybin had on my depression. After cancer, it gets really difficult to "reintegrate" with society. Most conversations sound absolutely pointless, I felt like there was less grip surface between the concept of me and almost everyone. The depressions after cancer are commonplace, and mine were strong, too. The difference in depression recurrence and intensity after a single 3g dose of psilocybe cubensis was spectacular. After a couple of months I started on psilocybin micro doses and, so far, along with hormone replacement therapy (I lost a testicle to cancer), I'm finally feeling OK. Much better than OK. :D


Hey there,

happy about your recovery both physical and psychological. How did you come across psylo and Could you share how you learned and planned your dosing ?


I am not the person you replied to, however spores are readily available online in many nations (they are absent psilocybin/psilocin, and thus are often unregulated and lawfully sold as syringes or prints), and techniques like "PF Tek" are simple, well documented, and speedy.



I would love to hear more about this too.


Odds are, HRT is doing all the muscle work.

Low-dosage testosterone is already prescribed to despondent older adults in "cosmetic psychopharmacology" circles.


That's awesome, thank you for sharing!
