Jennifer Yes, fresh picked specimens will work!! However, unless you have previous "pickin" experience, please don't let your desparation lead you to bad judgement!!!! And, if you were prepared and had the means to go to Amsterdam, there is a thread here on the board about a little shack down in the islands for a "midnite brew".....I'll search for it and post it for you Dallas Denny

Hi Clusterfields, No experience with Tricare, but I do know getting O2 prescribed thru the VA at a high flow rate was not possible for me here in Dallas. My suggestion would be to look into welding oxygen......order the optimask from the CH.com website and a 25 lpm regulator from ebay......around $100 for both.......go to your local welding supply and lease a tank of welding O2 and you're set.....here in the Dallas area, deposit on a M sized tank is $150, refills are $17, and rental fees on the tank is $8 a month. Dallas Denny

Well Siv, you made an old man cry one more time!! I am so very happy for you!!! You go Girl!!!! BTW, I love that beautiful smile in your new icon!!!! ((((HUGS)))) DD

I agree Jerry!! I think the absolute best that we can hope for is a "Psilocybin Clinic"......operated in the same manner as Methadone Clinics......you go to the clinic with a Doctors order, the medication is dispensed and ingested in the presence of a Nurse in a treatment room, and when the meds wear off they discharge you. And that, in a nutshell, is all that we need!!!!! DD

Hi again Narelle!! I just realized that my earlier PM to you with my number didn't go thru (I've had a terrible connection problem today).....I have resent the message and made sure it was in your New Messages Inbox which you can access at the top left of the screen. Dallas Denny

I wholeheartedly agree Bob!! Very nice Jerry!!! I think you are absolutely spot on with your post!!! Well....maybe with the exception of Bob W on Oprah....lol.....but it's a hell of a nice thought!!!! DD

Hi Narelle, First, I want to let you know that you're not alone.....we have several parents of sufferers here in the community!!! Secondly, initial dose size recommendation could vary in your daughters case based on several different factors....... .....does she have any prior recreational experience with indole ring substances ....does she have O2 therapy in place to combat the post dose hits ....is she taking any other prescription drugs other than the one mentioned Finally, I've sent you a PM with my phone number....please feel free to call anytime and I will do my best to answer any questions you might have. Dallas Denny

Welcome Home and Good Luck!! Dallas Denny
