Replying to Microdosing psilocybin while skiing
First off - be careful with any and all psychedelics. Do your research before taking any. They are sort of illegal in some places, much more illegal in others. Know where you are and what risks you are willing to take.
Has anyone else done this? I've experimented a few times with higher doses and find it doesn't usually go too well. One time I ended up laying in the woods for two hours, which was nice, but I wanted to be skiing. But just the right amount, for me its .25 - .5 grams, I find it really nice. I've experienced less fear of crashing, greater levels of confidence, creativity in trick choice, more connectedness to the mountains, and heightened levels of balance. Also I feel closer and more able to connect with others around me and those I'm skiing with.
Phil Casabon talks about this in his podcast on The Powell Movement and says some similar things about the benefits they bring him.
I make sure to not take them everytime, addiction is no joke. But the cool thing is the effects seem to last a while so you don't need to take them everytime. For example I was sliding sticky rails one night while dosed up and was having a real hard time. Then it sort of clicked to me my body position was wrong so I adjusted my whole stance and position on the rail and felt 100x more comfortable. This was 4 years ago and I still feel confident on sticky rails.
Anyone else do this? What are your experiences? Let's keep this skiing specific, not just general psychedelic exoeriences.
