Heya Y, any chance you could set this up?
I think there's enough interest to make it worth while and it's probably a fairly simple change, as far as they go.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Why not? Studies have shown that microdosing actually increases neurogenesis MORE than a full dose which doesn't make much sense but it seems overloading the receptors gives a great life changing experience that could help PTSD or depression, but likewise microdosing could form new neurons/heal damaged ones also in PTSD/depression
Also there is a growing interest in this field from Silicon Valley, to a lot of people around the world growing interest. I have tripped and microdosed and week on week, microdosing helps my mood more I can say that much

We discussed this in the mod forum a while back and I'm having trouble recalling the exact details right now.

I know I couldn't find the thread either. Not that I really looked hard, but I know it had come up. And, IIRC, it wasn't vetoed out, it just petered out. I think it's a worthwhile change if Y is happy to do it.
Change of subject mate but.. are all the bushfires over there affecting you or they not in your neck of the woods? I don't read the news but I've heard they're pretty severe..

Not sure this is going to happen. Has anyone here tried stacking Lions mane and psilocybin? I am currently taking 0.05g a day psilocybin and a level teaspoon of lions mane (from host defense) daily.
Have to say there is something going on, I can feel it working in my brain in a strange way lol it feels clean, seems to improve my mood and focus. Energy is up. Only been just over a week but would like to talk to like minded people as microdose posts can go to the pub or psychedelic experience thread and just peter out

I'd be more keen on the idea if we had competent staff with experience in the field. We don't in my opinion and I'd be apprehensive about adding an entire forum dedicated to it.
It's a hard forum to get moderators for as is. It's not my favourite forum to moderate, or even read, but it's something I've taken on because it serves an important function in our community and to the larger community away from the boards. Harm reduction and being able to get accurate advice on substances is important in keeping everyone safe.
Maybe if we formed a close knit team I'd be more inclined to get involved. At this stage an entire forum spreads an already under moderated forum even further. A subject option is totally fine.
My 2 cents which may or may not spark intelligent discussion.....

I think it would be good in terms of pulling in new people, given the populatity of the subject these days.
If it was side-by-side with Trip Reports, could it not just inherit the same staff?
I think the content we'd see there would not require much active moderation.
I'd be happy to keep an eye on the place, although I'm no expert.

Hmmm. Like, I'm open to the idea and I know 1 or 2 people who I would consider experts.
I wonder if they would be keen on joining here to offer some advice. I might put it out there and see what comes back my way.
I just don't see too many people posting these days that are experts or seasoned vets and the ones who are don't post much.
Could even make a user created forum and sticky the link in TPE...Might be a good way to form a team of experienced people too. From there expand.
Speak up other members too. If this is something you've got experience in then let us know,

I like the idea a lot, for questions/advice, ongoing journal/logs, which eventually could form a solid anecdotal research base to build upon for both members here and anyone else who's interested.
Lots of people are googling this stuff right now. Getting it all in one place can help people start getting a picture of what works/doesn't work, and be able to ask more specific questions and share advice. Having a seperate sub might help it form its own little community, which could make it more active and make people more likely to keep up with their journals/logs (which never happens in TPE).
I don't think there are any real experts on this stuff yet, but lots of us here have knowledge of the science/research and our own experiences with it

No one came to any action. It laid dormant, until now. 
Im all for it, or even just an extra category from the drop-down subject menu.
