Lol that's a weak know it all thing to say. Babies first anti theist argument. It's just saying there are some vague similarities between religious books so they think it's all made up. Sounds like a 12 year old

Yeah problem is traditionally marriage was through matchmaker. Now people decided that's old fashioned so they say to meet them yourself. In my opinion that's the older generation making an unwise decision because of pressure from younger people. It makes no sense to throw away age old traditions because it's 2026... but the people are deciding to do just that. Allah swt judges best. Anyways for people like us its very tough. There are options, some masjids have programs for marriage, parents can sometimes help arrange connections the old fashioned way, there are Muslim matchmaker services now(I've never tried this though). Most people don't find people in college anyways. People think it'll work out in this romantic way but only some people chance into that. Most people try and don't meet anyone good anyways. So you're not alone.

Also like others said I've learned reddit is a terrible reflection of real life. It's very inaccurate

Saffron, Polygala, Turmeric to a lesser extent, In terms of experimental research, besides the TAK there's ACD856 which i think is supposed to be more effective

Or he was just making stuff up to make himself sound tough

Depends on which peptides. Most of them are perfectly legal and not intoxicating so no big deal. There are a few that are technically illegal to sell because they're patented drugs and only the pharmaceutical company that discovered them are legally allowed to sell them in the usa. How important those things are is up to you. If he openly has a business he's probably not selling the illegal stuff or he'd get shut down quick. All in all peptides aren't anything too crazy. They're mostly chemicals that pharmaceutical companies discovered and discarded, rather than develop into a commercial drug. They're not very heavily studied but still a surprising number is people use them. They're fairly grey area stuff.

You don't need much with the non- fully decarbed mushroom. I take a small piece about the size of my finger nail. You can take another if you feel it's light. Different people have different tolerances some people take more but small fingernail sizes pieces are the way to start imo

Different people have different experiences. Personally it tends to make me want to go to sleep even in small amounts lol but i definitely feel absolutely serene and at peace. But a lot of people use it for anxiety and don't have the issue of falling asleep on the stuff. I would say it's worth a try.

Gummies can be very hit and miss depending on where it's from. Big cat botanicals has muscimol hard candies that work great. You have to make an account on the website to see them. They are my go to honestly because there's no hassle of worrying about if they'll actually work or not, and they're very effective. Start with the 1mg candies as they have 3mg too but that tends to be overkill if you have no tolerance

If your eating the mushroom it'll be stimulating before it's sedating. You should decarb it completely by making a tea if you want to avoid that. I still take it without decarbing sometimes and it'll put me to sleep eventually, but the first hour I'll feel mild stimulation. Definitely experiment and see what works best for you though

Umm and where does this happen? It sounds cool but the only place I've seen this is Mexico where it's legal. USA is still behind on the science

What do you mean? You take two tablets one day and one tablet the next?

If you get a milligram scale for $30 on Amazon you can weigh them out. Turn you want to decrease by 10% at a time. You weigh out a full pill, then subtract 10%. So if a full pill weighs 400mg you want 360mg. You break small pieces off and weigh until you get 360mg, then consume. You probably will have to wait a few weeks to adjust before going lower again. If you need help figuring any of this out just let me know

Yeah that's true that does make it complicated. If he isn't open to dressing normal then it's hard for you to do anything. Allah knows best

Yeah I didn't really have any other choice. Decreasing by a full tablet was unbearable for me in the beginning. I had to go very slowly

You can't change a person. People are who they are. You can try to guide him but it's not your responsibility what he does at the end of the day. Only he can cook control that.

My only advice is try to get him more into the Muslim community. People act like the people around them. If he's around other Muslims it'll influence him.

It's not always optimal but it's what i had to do and it worked. Unfortunately they don't come up with better options for people trying to get off of these

Yeah it's tough. A lot of doctors will give bad advice about this. You have to taper extremely slow. Decrease by 10% at a time. That's the latest protocol.

Bro that's in the top 20% incomes in the world. Muslims compete too much and it makes us appreciate less. If you can't be happy with more than most people then you won't be happy. There are people around the world with less than 1/2 of your income that are plenty happy. Its your mindset more than it is your bank account. Another piece of advice is use the money right too so you get Barakah from it. There are people who make much much more than you who are unhappy because they don't spend it right

When properly decarbed they're amazing for sleep. I just get the active ingredient, muscimol, to save time

Unfortunately our community isn't that great with disabilities in my experience. I help someone who had physical and intellectual disabilities and only one other Muslim helps. A lot of non Muslims do help though, and so does the government. We're in the usa. He lives in an rent controlled apartment for 50 dollars a month and lives on social security. It's not a fancy life but he gets by. Masjids also help, as he's zakat eligible. If you can't work you would be too. Inshallah you find a righteous spouse at the end of the day you never know who you'll meet. Allah swt provides.

Something else I've found, inshallah you won't have to do this but I've been impressed to see this. Since helping my friend I've followed some disabled people on insta. A lot of them fundraise. Its impressive how much money they raise, thousands of dollars. Its amazed me to see how people help each other. I wish I was better at social media so I could fundraise for my friend. Either way like I said hopefully it doesn't every come to that but just saying there are people in similar situations that get by. Im not sure if that really helps lol but I thought it would be good for you to know

What i don't get about miccrodosing is people also suggest long breaks in between. So you can't only use it about half the time. Which just doesn't work when things are bad

You can buy kefir grains online. Put them in a jar with milk and wait 24 hours.  Boom you got kefir

So it makes your sleep more restful? That's very interesting. The only thing I know that does that is amanita. Everything else tends to make my sleep worse

Always was subtle for me, but some people get more out of it than others
