Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, might just revolutionize how depression and anxiety are treated in cancer patients. In a groundbreaking trial, a single dose combined with therapy significantly reduced emotional suffering, and these effects often lasted over two years. As follow-up studies expand the research to multiple doses and larger samples, scientists are eyeing a possible new standard of care that merges psychedelics with psychological support.
I’ve only done it a few times, but nitrous made me laugh so much, it was great. Nitrous starts fading as soon as you breathe out and is over in 10min tops, but for weed, give yourself an evening to get stoned for the first time. Feeling cramped for time is a huge vibe killer.
Also, modern weed can be way too strong for a first-timer, but if you can find a low-thc/high-cbd strain, you’ll have smooth sailing. My poor in-laws hadn’t smoked since the 60s, and the budtender sold them a thc vape, good times were not had. Don’t make their mistake, haha.
