After Birth & Breastfeeding
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
My previous experience with mushrooms had been recreational, but as a (now recovering) addict, and someone diagnosed with panic disorder and treatment resistant depression, I always felt sooo good for weeks post recreational macro. I'd consider microdosing for years before I finally had access to the medicine to actually start microdosing. I would have started sooner if I'd had the access.
