I have a friend ...

who is at the end of his tether. He is middle-aged, very well educated, addictively inquisitive but suicidally frustrated with his cognitive and memory limitations. Will these be improved by jumping ...... or is there another solution?

Oh, and he has very little patience, so any advice before I have to scrape him up would be much appreciated.

ps he has no money to buy noops and cannot do physical things due to .. well you don't want to know as it's a long story.

Psilocybin mushrooms can be found in cow pastures after a rain...

I hope that anyone seeking psilocybin mushrooms in cow pastures has done their research and can properly identify psilocybin rather than the other various toxic mushrooms that I believe outnumber psilocybin 10 to 1.

Your friend has to realize that he does NOT have memory and cognitive limitations. He has simply put up psychological barriers to stop himself from using the full capacity of his mind, placebo should have the same effect as anything else.

What he needs to do is understand how people remember things, you can rarely read something once and recall it perfectly after. Simple memory exercises and using memory techniques will be able to get him what he wants. Cognition is essentially intelligence, to fix this, simply go to the nearest library and read + practice the IQ enhancing techniques. There are plenty of good books on cognition, he needs to simply read them and practice, then his cognition issues shall be resolved.

http://www.mindtools.com/memory.html this is a excellent site on memory techniques, your friend does not have memory problems, he is simply not remembering things in a easy to recall way. Using these techniques should make it far easier for him to remember.

All these techniques should cost 0 dollars.

HeyHey, first thing to let your friend know is that he does not have these limitations, he just has yet to realize his full cognitive and memory potential.

P.S. Those memory techniques are how all those so called "super memory" people manage to recall everything, anyone can have this super memory, alls your doing is making it easier for the sub-conscious mind to store and retrieve information.

I think Rick might have been betting both ways!

I assume anyone eating wild mushrooms knows how to tell the death cap mushroom from other kinds. Do not go picking mushrooms willy nilly. It could be fatal.

Do you believe that psilocybin mushrooms might increase memory Rick? Because I've not read about that aspect at all. I have noticed the reported decrease in the left and right eye fighting for supremacy in the brain (improved vision, low dose).
