clinicaltrials.gov if you want actual, legal, professional assistance with your session. It's not legal here yet. There was a bill last year that was voted down--rightly, in my opinion--it contained far more language about restricting access than it did about standards of care. Would've allowed anyone with the $ to get a permit with no quality control over the therapeutic support.

Friend of mine was in a taxi on 95, explorer type vehicle. Ice off the tractor trailer in front of them demolished the window. Would have killed a person in the passenger seat. Luckily, no one was. Totaled the vehicle because it bent the A Pillar. Driver did an amazing job keeping it under control!

I clean my vehicles off religiously now.

LD 522 currently in committee (Transportation, work session on March 9) would make it illegal to drive without removing the snow.

I keep a broom in my car for this reason but I can’t get all the snow off the roof. I push the top few inches off but it’s definitely not getting clean because I’m just a tiny person.

To be fair, my car is an SUV. When I had lower cars, it was never an issue as long as I had my broom or a longer snow brush.

I get the law and see the need for it because this would have been easy to prevent, but it does discriminate against shorter people a bit.

It worked perfectly for me. And theres no need to continue it all the time like a habit. A few months of mico dosing and you will probably be ok. But if not this wont harm you, unless you get crazy and eat a big bunch of them. Then you better hold on because the inner “demons” that your holding on to, and why your depressed or anxious in the first place. Are going to come forth. But mico dosing worked for me. Changed my life really. Made me feel “normal”.

You're misinformed that psilocybin originated as a "club drug."

It was actually patented for use in psychotherapy when it was isolated by the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in 1959. Hofmann's employer Sandoz marketed and sold pure psilocybin to physicians and clinicians worldwide for use in treating depressed patients.

Peer-reviewed studies have thus far found it to be well tolerated in patients with treatment-resistant depression (few adverse effects), and the LD50 is so high that it would be extremely difficult to overdose unintentionally-- actually impossible if using mushrooms and not lab-synthesized psilocybin. Feel free to read the available studies from whichever scholarly sources you prefer (I recommend NCBI, google scholar is also a useful tool).
