Oh boy, how do I share my experience without putting everyone off? lol
My best friend introduced it to me when we first hung out around 8 years ago, had all sorts of interesting effects, including improvement of my equilibrium/POTS type issues, anti-depressant like effects, feeling like you have more mental space to actually think and have perspective on things.
But it is very much a psychedelic as well, it has a bit of a notorious reputation for giving very internalised and confronting insights, flood dosing which there is no way I could do can be very intense stuff. My issue with it would end up being after some days micro dosing it would tend to bite me in the arse quite hard, hypersensitivity to life, emotions, other people, all the data that is coming in, feeling like you are suddenly in crisis/overwhelmed. But I still continued to micro dose on and off for like 4 years.
I have a history of issues with drugs though, psychosis and such, even shades of schizophrenia type symptoms so if you don't have these types of tendencies I would say you will be fine. I also mixed this stuff with pretty regular vaping of cannabis so there is that too, I am a sucker for punishment. A few years later I still feel like I am processing and adjusting to all these experiences and on some level even believe it may be part of my path out of all the issues I have had for 25+ years, once I fully intergrade and continue to focus on adjusting my system properly.
This stuff can be tricky depending on yourself and your intention as well, coming at it from a more pragmatic science treatment point of view, compared to a more 'spiritual' personal insight point of view, because it can definitely facilitate that if you want it too. I never even considered it from an auto-immune point of view, or had any idea of that at the time.
