I was surprised to hear that you have some viagra in your pantry Ben, surely you have tried “horny goat weed” for a boost ?… I have experimented with it my more youthful days, it works well for me, not that I really needed it, but I wanted to experiment to see which supplements worked for me and which didn’t.
A quick question about the cookbook are the ingredients also specified in grams and milliliters? Yeah, I know Ben you’re American but well, would be awesome to have a ‘global’ book.
guys… psilocybin is being found in magic mushrooms in the woods, or you can grow them yourself with certain starter kits, or go start looking for a marketplace with a .onion address which accepts XMR (a crypto currency which actually is anonymous)
happy hunting
is psilocybin available for microdosing?
Is psilocybin actually available for micro dosing hacks?
If so, where?
I think this is one of Ben’s best. Just the facts as he sees them. I’m giving it a second listen.
