"The best work that I did to combat my depression and anxiety and stuff was microdosing, you know, mushrooms. Like, that's the most progress that I'd seen in my life."
Marcus King stated that microdosing psilocybin mushrooms produced better results for his mental health than SSRIs prescribed by doctors. He explained that mushrooms helped him recognize anxiety attacks as external energy misaligned with him, allowing him to work through them. King is currently on Cymbalta but wants to get off antidepressants, citing his success with psychedelic microdosing as his primary motivation.
