Microdosing University

The popularity of microdosing psilocybin is at an all-time high, with more people buying and trying magic mushrooms in Canada than ever before. The country’s medicinal mushroom dispensary network is spreading like wildfire, as interest in microdosing grows among patients and practitioners alike.In particular, microdosing mushrooms in Canada as a form of complementary therapy for the treatment of depression is gaining momentum. Research has also suggested that microdosing psychedelics has the potential to bring welcome relief from a long list of other psychological health issues, ranging from anxiety to mood swings to PTSD.But when it comes to parents who microdose in Canada, the practice among people with kids has a tendency to raise eyebrows. It’s fine for adults in general to buy shrooms in Canada to treat their health issues, but apparently not for parents.Or at least, that’s the view of critics.Acknowledging And Moving On From Historic TraumaFor example, there are some parents who readily admit that traumatic events in their own past have an inevitable impact on their parenting capabilities. There’s a known and well-document ‘cycle’ of trauma associated with parenting, wherein issues during one’s upbringings subsequently affect the next generation, and the cycle continues.An Alternative To Traditional Anti-DepressantsMaking the decision to experiment with psychedelics as an alternative to traditional medications is not something most parents approach lightly. In fact, it is comparatively rare for a patient with depression, anxiety or PTSD to try psychedelics without first trying more conventional approaches to treatment.Building Better Relationships With KidsAlmost all evidence supporting the use of psilocybin for improved parental capabilities is (understandably) anecdotal in nature. However, there’s a growing contingency of parents in Canada who believe that the careful use of psilocybin enables them to build deeper and better relationships with their children.Always Seek Professional AdviceOf course, none of the above should be misinterpreted as a direct recommendation to experiment with psychedelics as a parent. If interested in the potential benefits of microdosing, it is essential to speak to a qualified physician for advice and support.
