5 grams is not that fucking crazy as a treatment. They make it sound like they force fed her a fucking ounce.

And apparently she showed tons of signs of recovery. Sounds like the article writer is much more of a piece of shit for judging doctors doing their fucking job

They also say 5 grams is over twice the normal rec dose. I've always known rec to be 3.5. 2.0 - 2.5 grams probably wouldn't even give more than minor visuals for most people.

I didn't see type of shroom, but I'm guessing cubes as they are the most common.

Cubes, you say?

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm assuming they mean psilocybe cubensis

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but wombat poop is funnier.

Was the recovery permanent? I'm too lazy to read the article so if you choose not to tell me then I'll never know the answer and I don't blame you.

Nope. But NeuralCIM seems to be when continually prescribed. Questionable if the western world (especially the US) will ever have it, since it was developed in Cuba. At least Canada is conducting a clinical trial, rn.

Look for a documentary by "Belly of the Beast" about a US MD travelling to Cuba with his patients against travelling restrictions.
