One thing that would be important to check with a professional in is if one is taking an SSRI (antidepressant drug) as Psilocybin is thought to have an effect on the 5-HTP2A receptors in the brain which leads to an increase in production of serotonin (our feel good neurotransmitter). Although psilocybin is generally thought to be safe and non-addictive the combination of psilocybin and SSRIs do have the potential to lead to an excessive amount of serotonin flooding the brain which can lead to symptoms such as seizures. But either taken alone should safely regulate the amount and not lead to that condition.

I definitely would recommend speaking with a professional in the field rather than self-medicating with microdosing. There are a lot of mental health professionals starting to incorporating microdosing into their practices these days and I know it’s definitely not for everyone. Though the people it works for seem to really benefit from it and so the potential exists for a relatively safe treatment that seems to have little to no side effects for most patients. It may also be worth noting that most patients don’t experience any sort of “high” from microdosing as the amount taken is too low to illicit a hallucinogenic experience. Often the user reports an increase in things like well-being, motivation, focus and self worth. Though it’s a shame that the research was essentially paused for 40 years as the strides that would have been made in that time would possibly have been a great help for many suffering from mental health challenges.

Basically it’s using a very small amount of psychedelic compounds to help with various mental health challenges like depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. Usually it is psilocybin (the active hallucinogenic substance in magic mushrooms) but can be others such as DMT, LSD etc. It was studied quite a bit back in the 60s and 70s, I believe and showed great promise especially in the area of treating drug dependency to things like heroine and cocaine. Unfortunately most of the research was deemed illegal back at the time of the war on drugs but has since made a resurgence in becoming a focal point for psychologists and psychiatrists. There are many large companies starting to invest in the research these days, especially after the advent of the legalization of cannabis leading to many economic opportunities for early investors.

You played an amazing game Illunga if you had have killed me last round it would have been a perfect SK game. You are a great player and it I have mad respect for your game. You deserved the win but the only thing you didn’t get perfect was what a sneaky SOB l am and how I can shovel my BS down vanilla townie’s throats lol Just gotta question why @DarthMelvin lied about his investigations? Makes no sense to out yourself just to open yourself up to lynching. props to @Blue Jay 22 for his amazing job hosting, his write ups were so well done and the time he put into this game to make so great for all of us is very much appreciated. Thanks for the great game everyone I love all of you and the only thing in this game I wasn’t BSing about was how busy I am so I will probably sit the next game out unless BJ is hosting again

When MR died I got converted into SK just like LL figured out. I chose J23 cause I knew he was scum. Then I chose Falcon too cause MR said in the beginning that he was going to kill him for fun. my only miss was on porscha but I thought he was for sure the last mafia. Please help me as town can’t win anymore and I felt like I was working for the town the whole game up.

If I was mermaid I would have killed J23 for sure, it was the right play for them at the time. I thought almost for sure he was scum and so did the mermaid. Falcon I wouldn’t have chosen, I would have gone with either LL or TL as they were unlikely to be town voted IMO. I feel the mermaid is someone who sussed Falc earlier in the game. I thought it was DM up until he claimed sheriff.
-
In other words J23 - round 1 investigation TL - round 2 investigation AV - round 3 investigation LL - round 4 investigation - which he wouldn’t have been given until this round started which is round 4. why would he waste an investigation on someone who already flipped vanilla town? As a host I wouldn’t even allow him to choose a dead player as his investigation.

Sheriffs can have one of two types of investigations. 1. They get an investigation to start the game or a night 0 investigation. Which is always on a random vanilla townie player - never a scum hit. Then they can submit an investigation each round and they get the results AFTER nightfall at the start of the next round OR 2. They get day time investigations where they don’t get an automatic investigation but can submit a name anytime in a round and get results back immediately. In which case they can hit a scum with their first investigation. But if this is the way sheriff is set up he wouldn’t have gotten an investigation until at least the start of this round and therefore it would have been impossible for him to have investigated LL as he would have been an invalid investigation target. So DM is lying.
