I was storing it with silica gel and can't see any difference despite being extremely dry.

I don't know any dealers in my small town. All I know are in Dublin. We are on lockdown so going now might be a mistake.

You're right--too dry for mold. You are at what I call critical level with that stash. I'm sorry it's tough to get there. Looks like it is having a positive effect on your anxiety and feeling suicidal. It helps me with all that and more.

@faust you should list the strain with your report. Certain sativas, indicas, hybrids work better than others. Worth experimenting if you're in a legal area of the world and with a shop that carries multiple strains. I microdose edibles on bad nights but haven't in awhile. I have like eight different strains of weed in my collection. I probably have an ounce and I recommend vaping over smoking because it lasts way longer with a quality vape.

I've recently tried one capsule of psychedelic mushrooms and specifically made for microdosing. First day of taking the capsule I was somewhat energetic and not really sad. I haven't had a capsule since but I noticed my mood improved significantly on the third day (after the first day of taking the capsule). I have 29 of them left and it cost me about 40$. Thought to share info with you because I think microdosing is helpful. Sort of easy to get ahold of shrooms in Canada. I'm sort of shocked about it because I used to live in USA and it would be quite difficult.

 

[faust]

@idonk No, only high THC, low CBD. CBD alone does not help me at all so a bit afraid to purchase high CBD/low THC
@MartyByrde Yes, it does make a huge difference with anxiety even the days after, but I am still suicidal. I don't feel much suicidal only for a few hours after smoking.
@alizee There are no shops with different strains, recreational cannabis is illegal, so we have to smoke what dealers have. I have not determined the strain, however I know that it contains high THC and low CBD. So if I buy weed next time, most likely it will be another strain. And depending on the person, he may not know what he is selling and how much THC/CBD it has. Concerning shrooms, I heard extremely positive opinions and saw multiple reports, so might be a good thing to try.

Same here. I wish the feeling lasted longer. I can't afford my habit lol

I purchase my cannabis and the microdosing shrooms from here: https://highgradeaid.com

Few weeks ago, I noticed highgradeaide had a "Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybin)" section and I purchased the product:
SHROOMOLOGY – MICRODOSED PSILOCYBE MUSHROOMS – 9000MG
I've only had one capsule so far and I'm in a better mood. I'm not taking another one until I feel the need to do so. I doubt shrooms are legal in Canada. Everything gets shipped using purolator but I believe they're now using Canada Post.

Highgradeaide is specifically targeting medical strains for users with medical problems. So a few strains can be very high in THC. I assume they have high CBD strains as well. Some are specifically made for users suffering insomnia, depression, anxiety and what have you. I personally recommend the edibles section. I love the product: TWISTED EXTRACTS CARA-MELTS.

The caramels are $13 per bag and there are 8 in the package. I cut one with a knife into half and consume during the night. I would likely cut into fourths during the day. I usually don't microdose during the day. The options for the caramels are as follows:

• Sativa – 80mg
• Indica – 80mg
• CBD – 80mg

Half of a caramel can make you high for 6 to 8 hours. I would not advise taking one before work. Personally, I may be in a better mood from working at home because of the coronavirus. The microdosing shrooms had like no psychedelic effects but I believe did do something. I would really try the caramels if you want to try the high because it helps. I haven't experimented enough to know much if the shrooms is a placebo. There is another site I haven't tried that ships shrooms for tripping to Canadians.

As long as I don't have much weed I have to use it very rarely. I have enough cannabis for 3-4 doses and now there is no way to get it somehow for me.
After I run out of weed, I will do a report of my personal experience, how it affected my life and well-being. Of course, time-span is very short so we are unlikely to see dramatic changes, however it may be necessary to predict the future outcomes.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I notice how the doses have lifted your depression within an hour or so by 4 points on average. I can relate to this effect. I've been smoking and consuming weed myself heavily this month as a means of coping with depression also. I'm having especially bad anxiety for real life reasons unrelated to depression and I'm not sure that it is necessarily helping my anxiety, as it seems to make me focus on my worries more at times, although weed does lift my dépression as long as I keep smoking it and consuming oil in smaller doses. Like if I stop smoking or eating oil, the depression comes back. Been doing some medium sized doses and by the late afternoons and evenings I'm extremely tired. I have 0 energy or motivation to do anything at the moment I think because of PMS and being so late on on my menstrual cycle, I feel bloated and crappy overall. But the weed is also dragging me out and making me fall asleep at 7 pm lately, then I wake up in the middle of the night or very early, this morning I woke up at 430. Just trying to let it all ride.

Depression is not significant hours after... But weed alone can't make a huge difference. I doubt it may help to beat the depression, only ease the symptoms when you are on weed. For example, after the last dose (it was 4/20) I smoked once more and fell asleep, however woke up feeling bad and very suicidal, even managed to CTB in my dreams using H. It was worse than when I usually wake up. So weed is like a paracetamol against migraine, it eases the pain but it does not fade away forever.

Today I smoke more than necessary and before weed kicks in, I am writing this note.
When I woke up today, did not feel well enough though I am used to waking up very low.
My laptop was 180 degrees bent and laying on the floor somehow. It is not the first I do not remember what I did before falling asleep,

Yesterday there was no microdosing, it was a trip, I smoked a huge amount. So microdosing journal record turns to a trip report for a while.
I was deep inside my mind and I had no desire to fill anything. I felt like I am in nirvana and a part of this atmosphere. Was listening to imaginary music and there were strange reactions to real music. I managed to control my anxiety and it was a nice trip to the sky. However, this state disappeared very fast like it never happened. Many things did not matter at those moments. Tiredness, Depression and Energy was something out of my body and mind and I did not care about that at all so these criteria won't be mentioned. They are simply not applicable to everything I could experience then. Anhedonia was zero, was one of the best trips on weed I have ever experienced.

Thanks for sharing your journey.
I've been micro dosing cannabis for years now. I never really get high, I just get normal and it keeps my suicidal thoughts in check.
It's all good when I can microdose all day. Once I go without cannabis for about 8 hours, things get real messy, I start scoring 15 in all those categories.. Sometimes I don't dose enough and it creeps up on me. I read somewhere it may contribute to Anhedonia. My baseline for Anhedonia is a 10 with or without microdosing.

After sleeping 6 to 8 hours, I wake up in an anxiety ridden rage filled state until I dose.

Whenever I find the perfect strain it disappears or I get strain fatigue and it stops working.

I probably have an unhealthy relationship with cannabis. But it's the only thing that makes life comfortable for me.

 

[faust]

@Throwawaysoul Well, all the strains can make us feel absolutely different. I had the same strain throughout my journey, having my last dose of dust probably tomorrow. Generally I feel excellent 6-8-10 hours after I smoke weed, much better than before, but a bit sleepy.
