But I wasn't as bad as you make me out to be by a long shot :-) I didn't trip on a regular basis, although my posts to the board may have you believe otherwise.
I'm also not trying to make others skeptical of the treatment as I've been here for about a year and have watched more and more people get complete or partial relief with it. More benefit than any scrip that has been given them respectively.
Anyway, what I am saying is that the recreational dose might be why it didn't work for me, although I wasn't taking it for it to work in that way. Now, you and Q keep saying "resetting the brain." But that has no meaning if we don't know what you mean to resetting it to. I understand you don't mean reset it to the seratonin levels, or the pseudo-seratonin levels because that would have happened with my recreational dose. Reset it to what? Again, I believe that the shroom treatment works for most but I don't think it works on some shock level. I think it works precisely on a chemical level. If it worked on some shock level wouldn't that mean that my recreational use would have worked (I know. Same can be said with my thoughts on the chemical level. But the shock level was hit. Another thing to take note of is that I wasn't journaling my headaches then or my sleep ability. So I may have had some benefit, like August, but nothing major enough to note unless I was looking for it). Anyway, I'm still lost on what's meant by the brain being reset.
Oh. One more thing which you brought up. I do plan on taking them again for treatment. The irony of that is that if I didn't have these things I'd still have my friends who would provide them. Now they don't know me (their words, not mine). And if I didn't have these I wouldn't want them. I also checked with the other one who lives here and I can't get the spores to grow because of the legal issues for him once they were real shrooms.
