[Solved] Quitting 3MMC for therapy

For a safe and effective psilocybin therapy It is strongly recommended that you come off 3-MMC beforehand. There are several reasons for this:

1. Safety:
   3-MMC has a stimulant effect and increases, amongst other things, blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones. Combining it with psilocybin (even in a therapeutic setting) can cause unpredictable physical reactions, such as increased anxiety, panic or cardiovascular risks.

2. Psychological preparation:
   For a positive psilocybin experience, it is essential to be in a calm and stable psychological state. 3-MMC causes mood swings, anxiety and psychological instability, which can disrupt the process of emotional and spiritual processing during the session.

3. Effectiveness of therapy:
   Psilocybin therapy works best when you are clear-headed and open-minded, both physically and mentally. Recent use of substances such as 3-MMC can reduce your capacity for self-reflection, insight and the processing of trauma.

Recommended waiting time

Ideally, you should stop for at least two to four weeks for you psilocybin therapy with 3-MMC. This gives the body and mind sufficient time to recover, making the psilocybin experience more effective and safer.
