Thanks for the report, and glad to hear that it helped with your depression!

You're welcome! I can only hope that the effects last, but even a short relief makes a big difference when it comes to how bad things had gotten. I can only look forward to, hopefully, positive clinical results and the liberty to take it myself and prescribe for my patients.

I enjoyed reading this! I'd be very interested in a +1, +3, +6 month update!

Thank you! You'll be waiting a while, but I'll try and do a follow up, either as edits to the main post, or as standalone entries.

A very sober trip report.

Thanks!
