My name is Dr. David Madow and I am the founder of Microdose U. Magic mushrooms have literally turned my entire life around. It was not that long ago when I was hanging on the sofa in my house wondering if I was going to make it. Almost every day was filled with fatigue, anxiety, depression, and practically zero motivation to plan or do anything. I cannot begin to explain how horrible this feeling... more

    Thank you Nakama.

    Your Hawaii broadcast made me think a lot…I’m going to listen to this broadcast again and give it a lot of thought.

    Thank you, Dave. I look forward to... more
