Dr. Dave is sharing his personal story with you. Please contact your healthcare professional to find out if this is right for you.  Here is the transcript to today’s episode: Speaker 1: (00:01) I’m just gonna start talking. So, um, about oh five, six hours ago I took, um, 0.25 grams of, um, magic mushrooms 0.25. So that’s, uh, 250 milligrams and it didn’t go exactly the way I wanted it to. By the way, welcome to Microdose U Dr. Dave. Um, it, I’ve been talking about microdosing on this channel for quite some time. I’m not sure how long, but I’ve been microdosing for about a year and a half. My experience has been really, really good. Basically, microdosing has, um, allowed me to totally get off antidepressants, um, blood pressure meds, um, benzo Daze, any, pretty much anything I was taking. Um, I’m off of. I don’t, I don’t take any, I don’t take any medication, any pharma, pharmacological, pharmaceutical. I don’t take anything. Um, and I’ve been talking to you all about microdosing for quite some time, but the experience I had this evening was not one that I really would wish on you or want you to have. And I feel, I feel kind of guilty too, because one of the last episodes I was sharing this, um, stack that I kind of invented. I don’t, I probably didn’t invent it, but, but when I went ahead and took some, um, C B D, which is, you know, sold over the counter, um, and some, um, Speaker 1: (01:56) Lion’s, main mushroom, which is also sold over the counter on Amazon, wherever you want it, along with a microdose of magic mushrooms and microdose was 250 milligrams, which is 0.25 grams. I, I told you last time that this, the combination of the 0.25 grams, which is not really, you’re not really supposed to feel it with the CBD D and the Lions main just kind of sent me somewhere and it was actually quite pleasant, really pleasant. Um, I did it again last week and it was great. Again. It, it really worked. I mean, it, it’s, it feels like, it feels like much more than any microdose with a microdose, if that makes sense. But tonight, um, I, I felt weird. I have to admit, I felt it was something that I didn’t really embrace and was just looking forward to end. And I start having these weird feelings, like, here I am, am I a fraud? I’m helping people all over the world with microdosing, and here I put this episode out about this stack, and you can, you anybody can do it and it’s gonna be great, but it didn’t turn out great tonight. And I started having these weird feelings within myself also. Like, okay, when’s this going to end? Uh, it’s a little bit weird. When’s it gonna end? And, and Speaker 1: (03:34) Not only that, but anybody that listened to the podcast or watch the video or however you get your information from me, um, if they try this, and I make it very clear that this, nothing I say here is, is medical advice. I make it very clear. But still that doesn’t make me feel good that if somebody went ahead and took some magic mushrooms along with C b D, could this do the same thing to them? Could this send them into the, into space and, and not, not not super pleasant in, in, um, and I started feeling guilty. I started feeling that I shouldn’t be doing this. I shouldn’t have this channel. I’m a fraud. I’m telling people the wrong thing. I should just go away. But then I thought, no, that’s not right. There’s no guarantee that every single experience, even microdosing, there’s no guarantee that every single experience is going to be incredibly positive. Um, this microdosing has allowed me to changed my whole life. Like the way I think, the way I feel every day, the way I see other people, the way I see the universe, it’s, it’s totally changed my life. And one weird bad one, Speaker 1: (05:02) It wasn’t a bad, I can’t say it was not a bad trip. There’s probably no such thing as a bad trip. You always learn something from it. But I just, it was just, it was just like a little bit uncomfortable and I just wanted it to stop. And I, I just knew that, you know, what I’ve learned on my own and what I’ve heard from others is, you know, you just realized that, okay, it’s something I ingested. It’s going to eventually go away, which it did, and learn from the experience, which I did. Um, what did I learn? I’m when I learned that I’m helping a shitload of people all over the world. And if you have a bad experience now and then, or something that you perceive to be a bad experience, learn from it. Speaker 1: (05:50) Learn from it. I get emails and comments on my videos every day, multiple, multiple, multiple, multiple every day. Sometimes I can respond right away. Other times it takes me days or weeks, week plus, or weeks just depending. But I do respond. I try my best. I try my best to respond to everything because you are super important to me. I’m not doing any of this for any kind of monetary reward. I, I’d be starving if I were. Um, I’m doing it really to help people that were in, that are in the same situation that I was in a year and a half ago, desperate talk therapy, not working on Lexapro or, you know, some other fill in the blank, whatever type of SSRI or antidepressant or anti-anxiety or whatever on that. Um, not being able to live life to its fullest because you don’t even know how you’re gonna feel every day. Speaker 1: (06:57) I’m helping these people all over the world. So if I share something that ultimately turns out to not work for me the way I thought it would, am I a failure? Do I need to quit? No. This is a learning process, guys and gals. I’m new at this. I mean, relatively speaking. I mean, a year and a half outta my life, a year and a half, a year and a half outta my life, learning what this miracle plant medicine can do. And that’s why I’m very clear, like if I recommend something, be careful. Everybody’s different. Everybody reacts differently to things. And, um, that’s why if you haven’t seen my video, the Absolute Beginners Guide to Microdosing Magic Mushrooms, please watch that again. I get so many questions every single day that that video answers. How do I do it? How do I, how much do I do? Speaker 1: (07:58) How much do I ingest? How often? Again, it’s not medical advice. Everybody’s different, but it’s a really good guide and if you listen to me in general, things are gonna be good. But I just let I learn tonight that there’s not a hundred percent guarantee even with what I do. There’s just not a hundred percent guarantee. So I wanna share it with you guys. Um, I’m not gonna edit any of this if there are long pauses. It’s totally, totally the way I feel right now. Um, about five, about five hours after doing 0.25 Graham, which is again, is a, is a microdose. It is a small dose, it’s a tiny dose. But combined with the, um, CBD that I did earlier today combined with that, I find that it really just potentiates it like crazy. Okay? I’ll read every single comment in the comment section. I’ll do my best to answer what you have to ask me or say or whatever Michael does. You, Dr. Dave, talk to you soon. Speaker 2: (09:17) Hey, it’s Dr. Dave coming back to you after the show. I really appreciate you being here. And if you could just do me one little favor before you go, it’ll take you about 30 seconds of your time. Go onto your podcast platform and give us a rating and a review. Um, it takes just a little bit of your time and it really, really will help the show immensely. I’m trying to get the word out to people all over the world because so many people are struggling and they need help and this is the way they’re gonna find out about us. So take a little bit of your time, do it for us. I really appreciate you. Thanks so much.
