Molly at the Marriott: Inside America’s Premier Psychedelics Conference
OAKLAND, Calif. — In a packed, cavernous space one weekend late in April, a crowd of thousands was becoming increasingly amped up. Rainbow hair was commonplace, purple silk pants were sighted, and the smell of marijuana drifted in from a designated smoking area nearby. Audience members watched the stage with avid interest, leaping to occasionally shoeless feet to applaud and cheer.
This wasn’t Coachella, taking place the same weekend some 500 miles south, or any other music festival, but a five-day convention of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), its first in four years. Rather than rock stars, scientists from schools like Johns Hopkins and N.Y.U. were the main attraction, bringing evidence to the medical case for psychedelics like psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) to assuage end-of-life anxiety, to help deepen meditation practices, to search for the shared underpinnings of spiritual life, and — in a new study — to explore a possible treatment for severe depression.

Been lots of press on the micro movement, especially in the Bay Area. We used to joke about "the deadly underdose", how times have changed.

I just don't want to spend two days on the experience anymore.
When Weir was here recently I "probably" ingested a cannabis edible and a microdose of boomers.
Damn near a perfect combination. Out of time, light prism colors, cool and calm, asleep by 2:00, Nice afterglow in the morn.*
Kimock's tones helped as well.

That'd be about 2000 healthy non-micro doses!

LSD is easily my best psychotropic substance that normalizes and regulates my brain.

Somewhere between 0.5 & 1.2 seems about right

Thanks for the responses. I want to explore into this. Really don't want to try any man made psychs though.
