Hey jbravado, sorry for the delayed response. I saw your post and could have answered immediately in public but that would have been the wrong thing for me.
I figured I had at least some experience to impart ('cos its an area I have both experience in and am still interest in) so thought I'd PM you and if it's of any use great,. if not, just bin it.
I did a lot of psychedelics in my early 20s (acid mostly but also some mescaline, DMT and shrooms. Probably a couple of other things as well that were mixes of the above which would have been common enough...anyway... I suppose I would have described myself as something of a student of Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna etc... was really into the beatnik/hippie vibe of the dissolution of the ego etc.. I wasn't; just a weekend warrior. At least initially.
I believe I achieved the dissolution of my ego quite quickly in my journey because I read as much as I could about it (which wasn't that easy in the pre internet days of 1990-1995) and practiced when I could.
I did a lot of psychedelic journeys with friends in safe environments but as I got more experienced I got bolder and did a fair bit of raving (i.e getting out of the house and having the craic while tripping) as well and ultimately after 3 or 4 years I'd had enough. It was getting a bit full on and I'd other shit to be getting on with.
I can't really speak to the modern day concepts of 'micro-dosing' but what I do know is that if I was 20 or 30 years younger I'd definitely be trying to experience it but in as controlled a fashion as possible. Max education that is at very least.
It was a significant part of my college/post college life BUT I had a bunch of like minded people to work thought it with. I'm imagining that online it could be the same today BUT I'd recommend having real life people who get it and know what the end game is and are open minded enough to roll with some potentially wacky punches.
One of my old buddies who I used to experience this with is a full on fiend for it these days.. https://www.tabularasaretreat.com/jo...ly/trr-people/ ... but he had addiction issues which led him down this path.
There are many paths my good man.
Choose yours carefully and good luck.
Brendan.

Hey dude,
I just saw this. Thank you, for the reply. I have been taking Lions mane, but truthfully even that is too intense for me. Fabric of reality seems increasingly thread bare and I found myself feeling too open. As though I had no identity was just consciousness is the only way I can describe it.
I might not have the chemical make up to do Ok with physcedelcis was my gut feeling.
