I walk at least two miles a day outside, every day, and have for years. I'm in the middle of a bout of depression, and I was having a very hard time focusing on work while at work. I've been microdosing for two weeks now, and I've noticed a huge increase in my productivity at work, as well as my general mood. I guess what I'm trying to say is that regular exercise/nature can only get me so far, and even a ridiculously small improvement from psilocybin has been a game changer to me. So, why not both?



Almost 100% of people who increase their consumption of cucumbers during common cold feel significantly better after two weeks. Maybe cucumbers work for depression too. You should check them out.


This is unneccessarly snarky and disrespectful.


Posting low quality anecdata on drugs is disrespectful for the time of people who can validate the data quality, and outright dangerous for the people who can not.


I'm curious what evidence or reasoning you could offer to substantiate each of these claims.


What part of these two claims you find doubtful exactly?

Respect part is about wasting people's time (if knowingly).

The danger part is the same as with any other misleading information, which can lead people to consume damaging amounts of dangerous substances for now good reason (at least not better than just eating cucumbers instead).


Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
