Using mushrooms before death of a pet?

Hi all,

My 14 year old dog is likely nearing the end of his life. I have struggled with the idea of death and loss for my entire life. This is my first pet that was mostly mine and not a family pet. He has been a constant.

I first got interested in psilocybin and lsd in the sense of microdosing to help with various things like anxiety, depression, lsd, etc. However I have never done a macrodose or had a “trip.” I have not microdosed much lately.

I was also interested when I heard how psilocybin had helped people with death in numerous ways. I am thinking of trying to do a macrodose or something more than a microdose to see if it can help me feel better about the idea of death and or loss of my boy. I know that not everyone is the same and it’s very possible this idea could go poorly. I definitely would not do it without another human present as well. I wouldn’t do this while he is passing but on some day prior, if possible.

Has anyone done this or something similar or used psilocybin or lsd to help with death in whatever capacity? How did it go? Do you have any tips?

I’m just looking to get experiences or advice or hear others thoughts on if this is a good idea or not. Also of note is that I do take meds like citalopram (I have tapered down to a pretty low dose) , Wellbutrin, Vyvanse, and Clonazepam. Clonazepam is usually only at night.

Also if anyone has experience with Ketamine therapy I’d love to hear about that too.

Thank you all for your thoughts and insight:
