Thanks for the info. That correlates with what I have read. CBD on its own doesn't help, need a balance between CBD and THC.

I haven't heard about using mushrooms for migraine, sounds interesting. How much do you actually take? Does it effect your ability to be productive?

Not at all. If anything it makes me more productive and a little over enthusiastic if taken a bit to much. But it's far from making one high and also effective on low dosages (I like the euphoric state tho)

I don't know the exact dosage, also because all shrooms are different. I take about 1/20 to 1/10 of the recommended dosage for a small trip (as sites like erowid describe it) that's ~0.25g for mine (dried golden teacher).

My current favourite is some which I put in honey for a few months and then dissolved in a bottle of gin, and filtered the mushies out. My magic honey gin :) appearantly it's not really stable in Alkohol but its still as effective as it was a year ago, plus the sugar and Alkohol make it work super fast.

Honestly I can only recommend to try it, it's such a freeing feeling to know you have an escape plan for the worst days. Also if you go for growing them yourself this is super interesting and not as hard as some make it to be (pf-tek)
