made tea with one cap and stem. and was not expecting much but it was actually pretty solid. (for my purposes)

cap was about size of a nickel dry.

I was able to focus, had no anxiety over studying like I always do.
no procrastination and no distractions.


dug up a study that said the psilocybin actually decreases activity in certain parts of the brain allowing more information to go unfiltered to our brain.

and that overactive medial prefrontal cortex has an effect on concentration and the reason why im able to focus much better on drugs like shrooms.

Have you tried codeine or tramadol? Find light doses help me focus on my studies and higher doses help me with writing - though it usually needs a good sober read over afterwards :smile:

Also might be worth considering an herbal blend aimed at calming you and your mind. Valerian, passionflower, chamomile, hops and skullcap are all supposed to be helpful in this regard.

im gonna try chamomile mint tea with 0.2 gram cap and see what it does.
if that works I could possibly do it in times when I really need to focus.

I had the worst time concentrating.  I never did my homework. I was always copying off of people. It  took about 2 weeks to get my focus back. I left my phone in my car and went to study at the library. It's on you to focus. You don't always need drugs to help you.  You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it:thumbup:

There's no such thing as a broken mind,but there is such a thing as a mind that thinks it is broken.

Humorously enough, these are functionally the same.

You haven't listened any of the times I told you to believe you can change, but I will say it again, you can. To think you can't is bullshit.

bro you haven't listened many times when I told you I tried...
I had a concussion when I was a kid and few head traumas.
besides eating fertilizer that was left on the street unguarded for all the kids to taste.( im not the only one did it lol it tasted salty)
chewind radioactive bubble gum. melting led and crushing led and acid batteries. what else. oh the radioactive mountain next to our town and an aluminum plant right next to our town.. theres more that could possibly affect my brain  but I don't remember lol.


while on shrooms I compulsively researched the shit out of everything.

found out that overactive frontal cortex can be related to adhd and many other symptoms that I have that are not imagined...
I had them as long as I can remember

even a low dose of mush( 0.2-0.3 grams) lets me think clearly and plan.
and drinking coffee affects also prefrontal cortex making it even more active....

belief is not everything. sometimes theres reality. and limits not set by our mind... you need to read further. and not stop at the self help books. because that's what I thought at one point also. I was pumped on the tony robbins and others. believing that the power is unlimited.

maybe so but the resources to have that power is limited.
higher power= higher resources needed. just like cars and cpu and anything that has higher output.

I never got anything from Bacopa extract, tho it could have been impotent.

Hey if you like caffeine you might want to check out Cannibal Ferox, supposedly it's the most intense concoction of legal stimulants on the market (caffeine included).  Cheap too.

I reckon a mind can be broken, and doesn't just think it's broken. Why would it think it's broken if it's not? Splitting seems like a state of a broken mind. Doesn't mean it can't be fixed though, and doesn't mean drugs can't aid in it's recovery. People take drugs all the time to help with physical ailments, why not mental ones?

And with regard to psilocybin, it's found to activate different areas of the brain network at the same time (namely more primitive), whilst dampening the areas associated with self-consciousness. Perhaps it can help by quietening the areas that tend to be over-used in people with anxiety (ie. over-analysis, over-awareness of self) and allow them to become more emotionally engrossed in their activities.

Have you ever tried saffron fuzzysig? It works on dopamine reuptake, and serotonin aswell I think among other things. It's a stimulant but it's also calming (can be used for insomnia). Also it smells amazing, proper olfactory bass.

low testosterone levels can also cause ADD like symptoms, as well as anxiety, depression, lack of energy & mood swings.  i'm looking into hormonal treatment myself as i have low bone density and other other possible symptoms of low testosterone levels (shit concentration being one of them).

testosterone is one thing I don't want to mess with in synthetic form or supplements.

I listened to an idiotic advice of someone when I was like 19. he was pumped on androstene pills and said  great gains in the gym . so I tried that and stopped after about 2-3 weeks it was not what I wanted


problem is that these problems are looping around.

if do have low T that means I need to create a schedule and diet and a routine etc.
problem is I forget and get unmotivated and cant focus long enough and so on so I started many times but usually cant keep it going for long time I always loose track and loose focus.

im not a very sensitive person so it take a lot to motivate me.

but I feel that im getting somewhere with this now.

I had at one point a lot of positive people around me and I was doing great. but they kinda dispersed and now I have whole bunch of life hating gossiping children with self estem issues.and I am same as the people that surround me( except im married to one of them) kinda hard to just bounce)

I tried very low dose (0.2-0.5g) once or twice a week with tea.

so far worked out great


I did 3 days in a row then stopped for 2 weeks. by the end of 2 weeks I was feeling really stupid like I again lost control of my own brain.

I had no motivation no self control I spent 2 days off not doing shit
couldn't even plan my day out to get things done


in this time I also stopped drinking coffee which seems to affect the prefrontal lobe overstimulating it and making me a complete space cadet.

I stubled upon some 5-HTP info and tried it for a week.  the stuff they sell at gnc store. bought a small bottle of caps.

my mind has quieted down a lot since I start taking it...


kinda similar effect to microdosing shrooms but no kick ass Cyclops focus and determination that I get with shrooms.


what are the long term sideffects of taking small dose of shrooms( im talking about 0.5 grams once a week or twice a week not more.

or maybe I can schedule the 5-htp and microdose shrooms somehow so they don't affect eachother.

becaue so far either one has been working great

anyone has ideas?

I can recommend Sceletium tortuosum.


Dosage is tricky with resins, and only slightly easier with dried plantstuff, which is unpleasant and inconvenient to chew. Sometimes nothing, sometimes buzzy, sometimes drunken. powerful headache afterwards.

I use the pills of this company:

http://www.zembrin.com/2013/05/22/elev8tm-helps-with-daily-stress-and-low-mood/



though usually take larger doses than they recommend. Helps me with sleep, anxiety, depression and focusing.

Also, if you want to improve your 'powers of concentration', try spending less time on the web, or use the it in a focused, less masturbatory manner. Try spending a few days off glittery technology and try focusing on simple immediate experience of nature (movements of trees, shadows between leaves, -scenes or objects)
or listen to Rubinstein recordings Chopin's Nocturnes. wonderfully pure and gentle
